Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Bob Dylan & Tom Petty

From the Hard to Handle concert film. Bob Dylan, backed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers during their Australian tour in 1986.
Knockin' on Heaven's Door -
words and music Bob Dylan -
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark too dark to see
I feel like i'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Just like so many times before
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't fire them anymore
That long black train is pullin' on down
An' i feel like i'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Just like so many times before
Mama, wipe the blood from my face
I can't see thru it anymore
Sometimes you feel so damned out of place
And i feel like i'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Just like so many times before
Just like so many times before
Just like so many times before
Just like so many times before
Just like so many times before
Just like so many times before

[@barboblisk1029]

Dylan is an irreplacable icon, Petty is up there too, we are all blessed to have lived in this age.

[@fabriclondon9057]

I'm afraid and sad to say we will never see the likes of Tom and Bob ever again

[@johnschoonover5914]

Music is the closest thing we have to a time machine. You may not see them. But the music will never go away my friend!

[@Kanoee64]

My Dad died in 08. On the way to his funeral, I heard this song in three different versions. Guns and Roses Eric Clapton And this one. I sure miss the old Man. 😕 RIP Dad. See you soon.

[@harrietnix6396]

It it so gratifying to have seen Bob and Tom reconnect in The Traveling Wilburys. That is still my "feel good about life" music.

[@edvaniasousaferreira3336]

Meu Deus, que emoção esses doie❤❤❤

[@pm829]

2/5’s of the greatest super-group of all time. Long live the Traveling Wilburys!

[@wallyhicks5994]

Another one of those ones, you evidently DIDN'T have to be there!!! MIND BLOWING!

[@sheilamcdonald9081]

❤I have a very close connection with Bob Dylan❤

[@rolandoaponte214]

When you are a legendary troubadour and poet you can sing off-key every once in a while...poetic license granted.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

That’s what makes it so great; perfection is so boring, love the raw grittiness.

[@constantwireless3290]

I'm sold on this performance. I love the album version but this one is outrages good in my opinion. The whole mix of Dylan, Petty and The Heartbreakers and the backup singers is from another galaxy.

[@Deborah-gd4fq]

This song was playing on a movie my husband an I were watching, so I started singing the song, he said how do you know this song? I said don’t you remember it was a big hit when we were in high school he says , no i sure don’t remember that song at all. I say bob dylan and Tom petty he was like oh yeah, it’s been a long time I said yeah way over 40 some odd years ago. 😂! Still love that man❤over 40 years and counting.

[@roddyc7435]

wow...what a fantastic performance.....RIP Tom, never forgotten,

[@rebeccaturner7780]

Awesome song, two legends

[@debbiewatkins6945]

Absolutely Love this song knock knock on heavens door ! Bob Dylan & Tom Petty all I can say is AWESOME MUZIK ! 💛❤️💙💚🇺🇸🇩🇪

[@PaulDobinson-m5q]

I love the music and harmony. I’m old school @ 78 so the original always lives in my heart and soul as a priority 5:36 Ausy time

[@andaolsen1539]

This was my beloved husband selected funeral celeberation song. Just brilliant,

[@mariasoto171]

Back again ... RIP Tom Petty... We miss YOU! I followed you from Gainesville to your Future. TOM you will be missed and remembered... I know you have been gone for months, but this is my tribute to YOU. YOU rocked my Life... and made it better. ... love Maria

[@jamesmorrison2063]

Probably one of the best duos of all time in my opinion. Their voices are so similar to each other.

[@franklanger3848]

Die Musik ist einfach großartig

[@andreluisramos2338]

Amazing rest in peace Tom Pretty, God Bless you Wherever...

[@mariasoto171]

Over and over again this music transports me.. i am almost at Heavens Door...makes me assured that after all ..Heavens door awaits my arrival. What a way to leave this earth.. Heavens Door! All of my life Bob Dylan has sung my life.. I am 70 and His songs have lead me Heavens Door.. May we life on and Bob Dylan helps us to the next life... Maria

[@danielkirk4740]

I Believe This Is The Best I've Ever Heard This Song, Petty Compliments Dylan To A F****** Tee!

[@humdinger1794]

Dylan's harmonica at the intro makes this one of his best versions of this classic

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Can’t go wrong with Bob on harp and their gorgeous harmonies together; sublime🌷

[@EdmundSommer-hz8er]

It"s a good liveshow, just lousy pictures. Yet gorciuos Sound.

[@maxthepupp]

Of the many, many times I've seen Dylan this was always my favorite tour. The Heartbreaker were SUCH road dogs at this time and really in tune with Bob and the set lists. Nimble and jangly, harmonizing and swinging. Tough! Hell, even Bobby was wearing sleeveless leather vests! When I was younger I wished I had seen all the great concerts I missed that came before my time and now, of course, I realize I saw the very best at their very best. Rock on yall.🤘😎🤘

[@sunman5649]

Dylan in love with the backing singer, amazing.❤🥰 Tom and Bob play the rock 'n roll🎸

[@henrikswerkstrom3958]
