See you in Miami!

[@Wazafrn]

Please come to Madrid!!! It will be so great to see you live!! 🔝🔝🔝🔝

[@dpmills]

Good lord his voice is so good, and the organ flourishes on top of the tight arrangement is so incredible...well done

[@elblanco5]

oh man, when he hits that first big "FREEeeeeee"....those feels

[@Noruego]

whoever came with that 4 note melody filling in-between the chorus vocals deserves an award 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@FizzicksDude]

That rhythm section! The pocket was indeed scary!

[@chicagospots]

The groove, the power in David's voice and those organ stabs underneath- Superb musicianship!

[@ethanmilton7083]

The way the camera clicks to a birds-eye view right as the chorus kicks in and the music just releases UGH. GOLD.

[@samwilkins4569]

David's just fantastic! The drums were so clean...

[@Doug_Edwards99]

Incredible. Love the Hammond Organ and the vocals are top notch.

[@subsonicbass]

Dude got them church vocals, can hear them a mile away!!! Such power and feel :)

[@robseplex9964]

Preach it sister.

[@annagarcia1052]

This sounds beautiful. My new favorite cover of this song

[@patrickjudge4963]

Kept wanting the organ on the refrain to turn into the "Back Pocket" clarinet soli

[@GingerLifefitness]

this is brilliant, everything is amazing. Great musicians. LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!

[@LynnDixon]

I absolute living for that little bass run at 1:12

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

This arrangement really reminded me what a GREAT song writer TP was, good job guys.

[@atomicspoon]

Man all the covers they did this day with this rhythm section are just sooo good! Sometimes the stars just align, must have been an epic recording day for sure. Cheers legends 🙌 🌋

[@dalejones4322]

Great cover. When David hits the chorus it goes to a whole new level. Awesome!!!

[@maryannc7223]

This is what I love about Scary Pockets. I knew this song but never really thought much about it. This brought in a whole new aspect….loved it! Putting it on my playlist. Fantastic job, guys!

[@Hacker3588]

This is like one of those astonishingly good covers. What a fantastic performance by all. Mr. Simmons, Jr. in particular brought it.

[@stephenhill6143]

Percussion was exquisite.

[@marcpress8394]

As a die hard Petty fan, I approve!! Fantastic cover. Love it!!

[@wackerburg]

OMG... This is what that song needed. Wonderful in every aspect

[@haw45386]

Welcome back, Jack! Such a great arrangement. Out of all the songs where you really get into the nuts and bolts of the song and change it for the better, this was the perfect pick to keep the original riff prominent and build off of it. Beautiful all around. 11/10.

[@michaelturner1565]

This is musical perfection

[@paolopiva2283]

Great Singer, enjoyable arrangement. Thank you all !

[@paulsanderkay]

This is wonderful. Tom would appreciate, not only your interpretation, but your musicianship. Thank you

[@xxenclavexx]

Some one said "run it" and he took it quite literally. Amazing performance. What a voice!

[@deborahmorais2853]

Knew this song from John Mayer, but it's actually from Tom Petty. Silly me haha Still, such a great cover!! The groove is reeeaaal

[@ИльсурГареев-э2ж]

Love David since Somewhere Only We Know, amazing artist!

[@andrewcammer2535]

Another killer cover. This one didn't have my heart from drop of the first beat - I was skeptical. I started to warm to it when the organ dropped into the instrumental between verses. By the chorus, I realized it was just typical Pockets slow burn, and it was gonna be good. Then the feel shift half way in verse 3 killed me, so sick! What a great finish. The worst part is always the end, cause I just don't want it to ever be over!

[@quincyfreeman2901]

This really might be my favorite you guys have done. Geez it’s good!

[@jimcifelli1336]

A great song meets great musicians! Thank You for this !

[@quincyfreeman2901]

Something about that organ and the tight groovy arrangement was just killer. 10/10.

[@augustday6]

Been listening to a number of these. Wild studio shots but who ever is on the sound board is very talented as well.

[@BytebroUK]

Yer man has a v good voice. Started scared-ish then just kept getting better and better.

[@markowalski1]

Such a smooth voice

[@tomreingold4024]

That drummer tho!

[@davidgooley1544]

This brother should do a really nice remix of some Marvin Gaye with these cats!

[@DIRT2021]

Wow. This is an incredible recording. The song is an amazingly well written tune... This is every bit as good as the og recording.. I have always loved the song. This is better

[@glennpuzo1282]

That high note in the chorus is unbelievable. What a talent good lord

[@sephpedro]

Just great! Great work guys 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I’ll be in your concert I Hard Club, Porto (Portugal!

[@modernmusicstudio303]

This is so wonderful! Thank you for reimagining this classic!

[@moura332]

This sounds so so good, genuinely gave me chills

[@joshkrato]

There was a new look on Jack's face time; @3:40 the look of "Good Lord this is sweeter than I imagined." You all took this song to an unexpected, magical place. Thanks.

[@paulg5287]

Ha, too true, was like extra smiley Jack. He was feeling it for sure.

[@kvmalley]
