Tom Petty has rocked the world into Free Falling. He is a legend and this song will live on forever.

[@shannonschaerer1010]

"Gonna leave this world for a while." Every time I hear that, I think to myself, "I wish he could come back." - June of 2024, & Still VERY SADLY MISSED!! Thank Barelypostvids for these 20 songs you DID post. An Unbelievably Fantastic Show!!

Hi Alison! I'm a a proud Tom Petty fan from Duisburg. His music touch my heart. I'm fallin for black women. Greetings from a tall blond and white man from germany .

[@chrystalweaver618]

I am a 56 year old white woman from River Rouge and I am crazy about Tom Petty! Music is the universal language! I am so happy that Tom renounced his use of the Confederate Flag at his concerts before he passed away! I am in South Florida now and I really miss my people from Michigan! Stay safe and well sister!

[@mausp1970]

RIP Tom Petty... I lulled my daughter to this song many times… it's a wonderful memory. Thank you, brother...

[@A1Adaydreaming]

I'm sitting here in my office. The door is closed. I have my head buried in my computer. People walking by who might glance in through the little sidelight window next to the door might be thinking...wow, he really studying something in there...better leave him alone. That's right, leave me alone. Because since I got in here 2 hours ago, my head has been buried into Tom Petty KZbin videos. I'm gonna do this all day in honor of you, Tom. I had forgotten how many great songs you had. And with every one of them, there is no mistaking who it is. You had a sound all your own. Your voice, your guitar tone was instantly recognizable. You were a legend. I wasn't a huge fan like some fans are. I never saw you live. But I never changed the channel either when one of your tunes came on. I own a couple of your albums and they saw some decent turntable time while I was in college and they still do. I was a sophomore in college when "Damn the Torpedoes" was released. It got beer spilled all over it during a few parties but it cleaned up pretty well and I still have it today. I liked "Louisiana Rain" off that album a lot. Never got any radio play and maybe that's why I liked it even more. That one and ":Even the Losers" were my faves from that record. I don't know why I'm writing my life story here. Nobody gives a shit about any of this except me. But you were a part of my youth and you provided background music to a part of my life that I remember fondly. Thanks for all that you did. You always seemed like a cool guy. One of the good guys. A guy who fought his record company when they wanted to raise prices on your albums and you still wanted guys like me to be able to afford them. Just a laid back but stand-up guy who just wanted things to be right. I respect that a lot. You'll be missed. R.I.P.

[@michaelkroll4118]

A1Adaydreaming we all „give a shit about any of this“ - Thank you for your words, I still feel sad everytime I‘m thinking of him 😢

[@A1Adaydreaming]

Thanks, Michael. I appreciate your kind words.

[@taovox]

What you've written is important for everyone who cares about the value that music has in our life. I mean real music, true music, like Tom's music. I'm from Italy, I'm a songwriter and I think that the best thing for the ones who write and sing songs is to be remembered like you remembered Tom. Peace, Love and Rock'n'Roll...TAO

[@A1Adaydreaming]

Thanks, Tao. From the USA to Italy and places in between, it is nice to know that we are not alone in our thoughts. As Tom said, "it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me." It's so true.

[@DebbieBeccia]

I appreciate your comments, and I am STILL uncharacteristically SAD about Tom's passing. EVERYDAY, I listen to (and WATCH) some Tom Petty videos on KZbin...What a SUPER COOL guy who I would give up a limb to have met and spent some time with...RIP, Tom Petty.. You are LOVED.

[@paulwhite4855]

I will never get tired listening to this great classic! Rest in peace Tom! You did great for the music world!

[@jesperhiembrasethvik6785]

I’m agree with you.

[@thomasgaard2328]

I saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in 1977 at Winterland in San Francisco, in 1981 in Vancouver, B.C., then in Indianapolis with my wife and three older kids in 2006, in San Antonio in 2008 with my son in a driving rain, in Houston in 2014 with my two middle daughters and then the last time in 2017 with my next to youngest daughter who was attending UT in Austin. I also sent my daughter who was living in London to see Tom again with her husband in 2017. My only regret is that I didn't get a chance to take my youngest to see him or my wife more than once. His were by far the most enjoyable shows I have ever been to, and I have seen many of the greats. His rapport with the audience was special, his music great and he really did look to be enjoying himself each time. RIP to one of the true greats.

[@jaddison1112]

This version is how Tom and the Heartbreakers performed it at the Hollywood Bowl in 2010. It was a spiritual ride of genius. So glad I saw Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers before Tom was gone from us. We were the same age, born only about 2 weeks apart. My thanks until perhaps we meet elsewhere.

[@phildoyle4098]

I was teaching in Japan after a bad break up and was really emotionally lost when I discovered Tom Petty and this album and it truly saved my sanity. I've been listening to it constantly since then (1999)

[@donperry6481]

I feel that Tom Petty was the greatest story teller of all his music. RIP Tom

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

What a great song should do…tell a story….and Tom, imo is the best rocker AND songwriter of all time….he OOZED American blues rock n roll from every pore….no phony horse shit, just him and his brothers making music….Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs play a good bit of the Heartbreakers stuff and Mike’s own stuff is incredible , it’s in KZbin

[@karendzul3491]

Rip... What an incredible song... This live version is awesome

[@denisebabenko1902]

RIP TOM PETTY, MADE MY LIFE MUCH BETTER DUE TO YOUR INCREDIBLE LYRICS AND MUSIC. FOREVER MISSED.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Not exactly a “gentle “ soul….Yom was a sweetheart, but a fiery dude a lot if the time, but usually in a good way…Passionate

THIS STILL ROCKIN AWESOME SONG TOM PETTY

[@udaikandalama9136]

Thanks Tom for the masterpiece! Just love this song.....

[@sarahmetzgar]

I still can't even speak about him without copious tears. It's made me go back many years, even as far as The Byrds. I was blessed to grow up when I did, being the perfect age (13) when the Beatles arrived. The tremendous impact of these folks from about 1961 to 1971 has shaped music forever. Thank God. Miss Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison and so many more. Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Winwood, Perry, don't you dare go anywhere.

[@jeraldinew.hooley8308]

I've seen Tom Petty in concerts a few times and twice outdoors on beautiful summer nights in Hartford. I'm always amazed at the wide age range of fans that he has. His music appeals to everyone and I just love it when there are 20,000 people singing FREEFALLING in unison. goosebumps!!!!!!!

[@charlesmiddleton3247]

Long Live Tom Petty and his gift of creating a song for each and everyone of us. His Light, Energy and Vibrations are still reverberating in the Universe(s). From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran.

I could listen to this song all day. One of the most beautiful expressions in rock and roll history of regret, lament but at the same time, ironically, freedom.

Confess that I have paid little attention to Tom Petty over the years - another hit song band among so many from the late 70s but watching, listening to this, I get a LOT. Great guitar playing great musicians all around with a lovely intentional and heartful presence. So glad this concert is online for us. It's almost tragic how many good bands came forward in my days. Couldn't take them all in. But this one is so clearly on in the direct sincere way I love. Showmen like the Stones, Bowie etc, etc are great but this is the stuff that warms our hearts and spirits deep down.

[@humpfreeze5416]

One of my favourite songs… absolute tune 🎶🎵

[@frankdulks4941]

Thank you Tom, thank you Heartbreakers. All the best from Bavaria

[@doreekaplan2589]

Our family was in Bavaria the summer of 1965 with Dad showing us where he served in WW2. We met the German family who befriended him at 20, drove Mom's brand new red Jag at top speed on the autobahn to see what it could do, drank at a huge beer garten with men dancing in lederhosen. Bavaria was memorably green. At the Wall with my new Brownie a young solder pointed his rifle at the then ignorant American kid of 16.

[@mattaldrich9056]
