Anyone else realizing Tom is the greatest?

[@highlovevibration]

If this doesn't put a smile on your face, I don't know what will ❤

[@mrhemitom9]

Pretty much ...he met Elvis.....then became the real "KING".....

[@Vanasse1]

When the live version actually sounds better than the album version, you know you are seriously talented.... so missed!!! One of his best songs, in my opinion.

[@jebarr1]

Totally agree . I am so guilty of taking these guys for granted when they were around it was sickening. When Damn Torpedos came out I remember a bunch of us sitting around and basically playing it non stop all night at my house. We must have played the whole album front and back 8 /10 times. I saw them once in the early 80s and have no idea why I never really tried to see them again. And you mentioned talent Karen. Absolutely! And it didn’t matter the lineup. Ron Blair or Howie . Steve Ferrone on Stanley. Scott Thurston. All added to the band in some unique way. Rest In Peace Tom. Thanks for the memories

[@alanlloyd9986]

Its not as perfect as the album, but it is a great performance 🙂

[@EatPezzzz]

Sounding better than the album just means you have a good man at the mixing board.

[@darrellcrowder4769]

Totally!

Tough to watch this awesome performance by Tom Petty who is dearly missed in the Music world of today.

[@debbiemeek3741]

My first favorite song, by TP; so many more since then. Thank you God for having sent such a talented & humorous guy to us. So sad that he’s gone too soon but his music will last forever !

[@bobdobolina4091]

I'd rather like to think we should rejoice we had such a brilliant artist in our life time! Enjoy, appreciate and love this video as that's how I'd hope he'd want us to feel!

How beautiful to see him again so young, happy, and loving what he's doing ♥️🙏♥️

[@georgerudawsky861]

Great story teller great talent missed by all his fans ruled mtv with his songs

[@Ronnie-oj1jm]

I don't know what it is but something about Tom Petty makes me cry whenever I listen to him. His music is just so distinct sounding and makes me feel... hopeful? Not sure if that's the right word. He just seemed like such a nice talented man and I listen to a lot of rock and roll and such and a lot of my favorite stars have died and I never cry about them except for him. Something about him makes me so sad and I hope wherever he is he knows that young kids like me (I'm 16) still listen to his music and that he changed a lot of people. I think this is maybe my favorite video on KZbin.

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

Well Done Young Man We,ll MeetTom in Heaven 😊👣

[@davegriffin9083]

I couldn't have said it any better. I'm 50, and I miss some guy I've never met but I love him and that's the way I feel about it.

[@Starrygirl63]

What a fantastic performance! I was 19 back in 1982 when this was recorded. I had this album on cassette that I’d play non-stop in my 1978 white Chevy Vega. I love every single one of of their songs and I’ve been a HUGE fan since the mid-1970s. Out of the hundreds of songs they’ve recorded, this one has always been my very, very favorite! Thank you Tom for bringing so much joy and happiness into my life for so many decades. Your essence and your spirit live on..... ❤️

[@davoid1208]

I was 18 in 82 and this song cut me to the gut

[@rosemarywaldron497]

This performance of Here Comes My Girl is fantastic! Love hearing Tom's sultry speaking voice in addition to his awesome singing voice! And it's so delightful the way that, whenever Tom sings the chorus, he gets happy love sick grin on his face when he sings the "here comes my girl!" :) Just fabulous! Can't believe more people haven't caught this performance from the 1982 US Festival! Great video! Thanks for posting!

Such a beautiful song. well played (and recorded) here. I am so glad I got to see Tom and his band play. Many years ago at some big shed in the US it was a brilliant show. Straightforward and honest rock, with a bit of swagger and attitude, and a whole lot of heart. I remember Tom at the end of the show looking so happy to have been there with his band and all of us, and smiling and saying "Goodninght y'all, thank you for coming" A really lovely guy who is sorely missed.

[@BoomerBends]

This video is a reminder that we took quality music for granted back in the day. I was 12 when this song came out and was a casual fan. Absolute master class in song-craft. Literally gave me goosebumps. Like Greg Kihn sang "They don't write 'em like that anymore."

[@JeffLynnesELO2025Tour]

THIS VIDEO SHOULD HAVE MILLIONS OF LIKES. Excellent song and performance! We miss you so much Tom and so is your great Buddy Jeff Lynne who still honors you at all his concerts with pictures in the Background when he plays Handle With Care.

[@HasinaiMan]

Every time I hear this song it reminds me of this beautiful young lady I saw walking towards me across a field and I had to do a double take, she was with my best friend’s wife (quite a looker herself) and all I could think was: “who’s that?” As she came closer I realized it was my girlfriend who I’d only recently begun dating. She became my wife and 35 years later, whenever I hear this song, it takes me back to that moment like it just happened yesterday. Thanks for the wonderful memory, Mr. Petty, and for being a big part of the soundtrack of my life!

Now whenever I hear it, I know I'll play it a few times. Thank you, Tom Petty. R.I.P.

[@stellacarrier8341]

This live version of Here Comes My Girl by Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers is very stirring and musically appealing to listen to, the way that this live version is orchestrated helps a music listener more easily picture (for wild guesses andor fun music escape) the type of woman that the music narrator is most likely describing in a story vibe type of way.

[@jeffbreezee]

This song reminds of summer days growing up in Seattle around 1980. Tom Petty was king then! God bless Tom!

[@kenperk9854]

Tom ran into some trouble in Florence, Alabama in the early 80s at the University of North Alabama. A fight broke out close to the stage (some of his fellow Southern Rebels) and Tom walked off the stage and said that was it. Back in the day when we had adults, one of them pulled Tom aside and asked him if he wanted to get paid? He went back to work and it was a great show.
