Rest in peace, Tom was the greatest! If you want some more of him definitely check out his song You Got Lucky. ✌️

[@Bluewizard7131]

Tom Petty has an amazing catalogue of music from the 1970's to the 2010's. His death really hit many people hard. There are so many Tom Petty songs that we all relate to.

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you’ll love their “Here Comes My Girl” and ”Don’t Do Me Like That”!!!! Lead guitarist was Mike Campbell. Tom was rhythm guitar.

[@stephenhuber1219]

Little 13 yr old Tommy Petty went into a music store for guitar lessons. The instructor was Don Felder ( Eagles ). They could have never in a million years imagined both being in the Rock & Roll HOF

[@BalokLives]

My wife and I saw Tom live a week before his last concert, and my wife saw him live again the night of his last performance and a week before he died.

[@Motownmike73]

One of my Rock N Roll Hero's! Seen him over 6x live over the Years! Amazing Talent along With Mike Campbell his Lead Guitarist! MIKE was Tom's Brother in Music! RIP Tom Petty! 😞

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife here..I wore this 45 (record) out in the 2nd grade!!! I was a young adult before I fully understood this meaning!!..Soooo 👍 true you guyz!!

[@IshiAndNomyJackson]

I love Tom Petty! I was fortunate enough to see him in concert a few weeks before he passed. This is one of my favorites .

[@rdrrios]

Tom is the man! RIP!

[@janabraam7963]

This has always been my favorite Tom Petty song. I was lucky enough to see him in concert in 1985. Awesome!!! It was heart breaking to lose him so early. RIP.

[@vickihirsch8340]

Saw TP at least 3 times. His music spanned several decades. He's the real deal. Lost him in 2017. RIP to the great Tom Petty

[@LaStarza61]

BJ, that was the great Mike Campbell, Tom Petty's right-hand man, playing lead guitar. Tom played rhythm guitar. The Heartbreakers were an incredible band!

[@blue-sc1se]

This is the first Petty tune I remember hearing. I knew I wanted to hear more! So many hits and an mTV video star as well. R.I.P. Tom

[@Eowyn187]

MARY JANE you guys! It's so badass. It's up there with this one! Tom was great. In everything he was a part of. He had a few groups with other huge talents, like Roy Orbison, and George Harrison.

[@donnastupka7507]

Love Tom! This is my favorite since the 70's! Great reaction! Thanks🎶🎶🎙

[@stephaniewade2973]

Don't do me like that is my absolute favorite!!!!!

[@pffp6246]

Love & Miss you Tom man I was gutted when I found out he passed away…. Rock 🪨 on in Heaven with the best Tom …..: Thank you guys love youse too keep reacting to the best

[@Dario-by4ii]

The music of Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and early U2s literally saved my life in a very dark time, I will never forget it. To me they are like family. I miss you, Tom

[@TexasMagnolia]

One of Tom’s first hit. This will forever be my favorite Petty song…just so damn good!! This whole album is a must own.

[@sandranettles4833]

I carried a crush on him for 40 yrs Saw him live many times over and still keep his autographed pics on my walls Gone but his music will live on RIP Tom Petty

[@sheiladrucker6872]

I'm really missing the songs and artists that were our music. They made jammed and now. We are all getting older, so the music brings us back. Amen

[@sandranettles4833]

I was a Tom Petty superfan for decades ❤️❤️🥴❤️ still am

[@karlschmitt6359]

Tom Petty became popular back in the early 80's when I was in high school! Great straight forward rock n roll! It was a sad day in music when we lost him! He has a ton of hits!

[@thetattooedvaper4081]

10th grade 1980!

[@Rayray-kj9cc]

He was the best in concert! I saw him twice and he was amazing!! Rip Tom!!

[@kinjakahn]

This is my favorite TP&HB tune.... close second is... "You got Lucky", most everything else from them is fantastic as well.

[@JDogg1971]

Tom Petty was a genius. Such a dork with a weird voice. He owned it! Great reaction

[@loadedorygun]

It never fails to impress me, this song. The lyrics are mostly simple and direct, but “tell me why you would lay there, and revel in your abandon” is Dylan or Joni Mitchell writing. And then in the second iteration he squishes more words into it: “who knows maybe you taken and tied up and held for ransom.” He only got better from here. RIP

[@firedoc5]

This is the song that convinced me that I really liked Tom Petty. But "Last Dance with Mary Jane" convinced me that I loved him.

[@tomlfc8590]

I'm so proud to be a Tom... the man was/is and forever will be a legend, RIP

[@derekhudson3523]

Tom Petty is amazing in the most simple way. Very much like AC/DC there's not a lot of filler, just a talent for catchy hits. He once said in an interview his philosophy is "don't bore us, get to the chorus."

[@clashfan2875]

The album this song is on "Damn The Torpedo's" is in my top albums of all time list. It's a classic start to finish. His later 80's hits were more popular and had a bit softer of a sound. I got to see him and the Heartbreakers in concert in 1985. It was an amazing show as they were a great live band.

[@cindyp1033]

The guitarist is Mike Campbell. My high school classmate and the nicest guy you could ever know.❤

[@raeann63]

actually, that sweet guitar is lead guitarist mike campbell, tom played rhythm. this was from tom and the heartbreakers breakthrough '79 smash hit 3rd album DAMN THE TORPEDOES. when they were trying to write and record this, tom was being sued by MCA records. the label was trying to gain possession of the master tapes of the sessions and tom had to literally HIDE them, move them around, anything to keep them away. that's the lyrical inspiration for "refugee" - he'd been kicked around by big corporate labels, lawyers, and terrible contracts. THIS was tom's response. you can feel the defiance throughout this whole album. other songs from DAMN that are a must - listen: "don't do me like that" "here comes my girl" "you tell me" "louisiana rain" DAMN THE TORPEDOES is a masterpiece, their finest album. i miss you every day, tom ❤

[@dagmar.6954]

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers were a great American rock band formed in 1976. They had a lot of great hits such as "Breakdown", "American Girl", "The Waiting", "Learning To Fly", "Mary Jane's Last Dance", "Don't Do Me Like That", "You Got Lucky", "Change Of Heart", "I Need To Know", "Listen To Her Heart" etc. In 1989 Petty went solo & had quite a few hits. He was also part of the supergroup "Travelling Willburys" in 1988-91.

[@RobinT-treehugger]

Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Billy Joel... the singer/songwriters of my life. They wrote about their lives and the songs were relatable to EVERYONE. Real songs and life.

[@MrJoseph6119]

I was lucky to see Steve Winwood and Tom Petty's last show at the Hollywood bowl in Los Angeles just weeks before he passed! RIP Tom!

[@PaulJoeTX]

Written right at 1980 during Cuban refugee crisis in Fla where Tom is from.

[@mcclurep77]

He sent his demo to every record company in California and left Florida to drive to California and before he got there he had 4 major label offers . The Demo was " Don't Do Me Like That " .

[@raymondreid4987]

This is the second song I ever heard from Tom Petty back when I was a teenager the first was Here Comes My Girl at a little Dew Drop bar. God how fast time goes.

[@delorispoindexter5663]

Hands down tom petty was the best song writer next to Bob dylan.tom is my favorite artist since 1978.first time I herd his voice.i fell in love with this guy.i just new he was going to be a huge star.the waiting is my favorite song.

[@Jules-um4yy]

Love this song and Tom Petty. A couple other good ones by him if you haven't already reacted - "Breakdown", "Here Comes my Girl" (that one could be for you Asia from BJ:):) and "American Girl". Thanks so much for posting 🧡

[@KWP1111]

Mary janes last dance. 2008 concert live. You have to see this one of greatest songs and performances

[@wrldchamps04]

This song is from his 3rd album (Damn the Torpedoes) which knocked the door down to stardom. ...it's loaded with quality

[@sisterdebmac]

Some songs are timeless. You're right Asia! it sounds just as great today as it did when it was released.

[@blainecole5452]

I went to see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers perform at some big ole bar out in the middle of the everglades. It was the winter of 1980 and they were promoting their album Damn the Torpedoes. I've been a fan of them ever since.

[@timmistorey5989]

Fantastic Tom , his voice and songs , classic 💕

[@2869may]

"You Got Lucky", "Here Comes My Girl", "Even The Losers", "Don't Do Me Like That".... And many more.

[@susanbezio6708]

Missing Tom more everyday. Great artist don't exist anymore that are like him. Mike Campbell is still doing it keeping his memory alive. 💯💖🙏 Mike on lead guitar.

[@oboogie2]

Tom Petty decided to record this album essentially live in the studio, without just doing track by track overdubs, to capture the live energy. This whole album is great and the one that broke Tom Petty into big star status.

[@joelliebler5690]

Just Damn Those Torpedoes.

[@joelliebler5690]

Those seventies and eighties songs were so good and still sound fresh to me!

[@keithosmond5730]

No; Damn the Torpedoes involved a LOT of re-recording, mixing, overdubbing along with having to hide the tapes every night because he was in a lawsuit with his record company. Some of his later albums were done that way, but not this one.

[@oboogie2]

@@keithosmond5730 I didn't say they didn't do any overdubs, I said they didn't record it as just track by track overdubs (like often done today). They did play together as a band when recording the basic tracks, and then would overdub parts later. That's why it took them 80 or so takes of "Refugee" before Mike Campbell finally walked out for a few days.

[@SnoBear626]

Great artist. Great showman and frontman. But most of all simply one of the best song writers of all time. Huge catalog of primo songs.

[@lilyeve9584]

My top 5 artist of all time! Love Tom ❤

[@craigmarkowski7156]

Tom was Awesome ! Him and Stevie Nicks were super tight !!

[@Jamesscearce]

"Somewhere, somehow somebody must have kicked you around some" might be my favourite line in any song.

[@rogerdaly6326]

Only saw Petty once but it was the tour for the Damn The Torpedoes album. One of the best sounding concerts i've ever been to.

[@Ritaholden1]

RIP love his music. ❤️ Here comes my girls is my favorite.

[@AtlanticManic]

Awww. Tom.❤️ This is a great song. Thank you!

[@BalbazaktheGreat]

I'm kinda in awe of the depth of Tom's catalog: how many other acts have that many hits on their resume? Not a lot.

[@rossdownes4240]

Love this song this was my first intruduction to this group in the late 70s.

[@danielkesselring9172]

One of the best.. RIP Tom🙏🏻😎👍🏻

[@bobblethreadgill4463]

No doubt, when it came to pure American Rock and Roll, Tom was a Master... RIP Tom, we miss you.

[@metalmark1214]

Tom Petty had lots a great rock songs, this one just being one of them.

[@davidpodner7162]

Tom was so loved ...from Gainsville Florida after his passing the whole Florida Gators stadium sang i wont back down was so awesome go check it out

[@melissagerber7231]

They sing it,every game, now.

[@cawr7]

Tom Petty was even better live… best concert ever!

[@dannymarr414]

great album!! every tune on it is lit!!

[@miguelbotelho2613]

Wow forgot about this one. Love the rhythm of this one Petty has a great voice on this track

[@ptrlxc]

Ah geez I remember when this first came out (on the radio); what a time it was. Great memories.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Tom is playing the rhythm guitar and Mike Campbell always plays lead guitar. Tom is the writer, Mike is the ripper.

[@jonbaker3407]

It's really awesome watching yall vibe to some of the greatest music if all time. My dads favorite and mine as well!

[@jasonmarquis7586]

One of my all time favorite songs. R.I.P. Tom ❤ Still gotta recommend that you check out Sixto Rodriguez - ‘Rich folks hoax’ or ‘Sugar Man.’

[@johncagnettajr344]

Tom played 12 string rhythm guitar and sang.

[@marybill1429]

Tom wrote song for Stevie nicks and then sang it with her Stop dragging my heart around listen to it its great

[@markherring3513]

That wasnt Tom playing the lead guitar solos..it is Mike Campbell..original, life long member of the band.

[@stevemchale9775]

I seen once The Travelling Wilburys talking about how they decide who sings. They say "let the kid sing". Referring to Tom.

[@phonebone81]

What a topical song especially for us here in germany and I wish everyone here heard and considered it. Best wishes @all from hamburg (you all know it`s in germany) ;-))

[@vickiedittebrand7358]

Here comes my Girl, I need to Kmow, American Girl, just a few from his early days. We all love Tom his music his personality and humor but his tenacity fighting the record company is unmatched. We miss you Tom RIP.

[@danaberman6929]

The GREAT Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.... His hits are so numerous...

[@vasiliarkhipov2121]

God I love this song. I remember in the 90s when I was a kid 'Last Dance (with Mary Jane)' got huge. It was on heavy rotation of MTV and all that. So it turned out it was a new song added to a Greatest Hits CD. So I got the CD and all I wanted to listen to was 'Refugee'. People would want me to put on 'Last Dance' and I'd be like no no listen to this(Refugee) it's a better song. People just looked at me like I was crazy. Well I still think it's a better song, so screw it. 🙂

[@pkleo73]

Yo RIP to this man! Changed my life with his music for sure. Been listening to this band/him solo since they originated. sooo many memories. glad you guys went to his older stuff. honestly i dont know how many of his songs uve reacted to lol. but ill find out one day

[@23skidoo46]

when this album came out it was a game changer for me and my rock development. period. so influential to me. One my first rock albums i bought along with Boston debut and Journey.

[@deborahcornell171]

Asia, love it when you find yourself singing a little of a song after listening to it. You have a lovely voice. Plus it means you were feeling it! Please react to Tom's duet with Stevie Nicks.."Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" (Official video please!). You'd both love it. 💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙

[@paul00390]

Great. One of my favourite Tom Petty songs.

[@robertschiavone5159]

One of my favorite artists of all time..My favorite album also I was 20 years old when this came out..my girlfriend at the time introduced me to his music ..I was hooked ever since R.I. P.

[@joelmartin-zi7ti]

My big sister bought me the album that this was on for my 15th birthday 🥳 I was hittin’ high school at the time and had just started learning to play the guitar 🎸 This was their breakout album that really put em’ on the map and that song was was what done it👏🤘And yeah BJ, they were warrin’ this one out on on the radio 😁🎸With a lot of time and practicing I eventually learned every song on that album 😅 Still one of my favorites to this day 🤘✌️🫶

[@proudmoon3]

"The Waiting" is another great older Tom Petty song.

[@rayzerbone4197]

Damn the torpedoes is my favorite album but he has a huge catalog of great music R.I.P. Tom Petty

[@edwardcrews2952]

Gosh I miss him so much. Rest In Peace Mr Petty

[@markwilliams5606]

Miss you Tom Petty. Legendary. To much to learn.🙏🪴🌅🐴

[@fairydust-weepthewildwinds]

Oh yes, hear it daily if my radio is playing….. they are now part of CLASSIC ROCK 👍🏽💙🤗

[@markvanderstelt8999]

Tom does play guitar but Mike Campbell plays the lead Guitar and the band is Great.

[@marinamartinez6886]

Another HUGE hit for the Band! 👍👍👍

[@leehanson1416]

When this song came out, we had no idea what to think. Awesome stuff. Mike Campbell on lead guitar.

[@claimguy]

One of the 5 "vibiest" songs I have ever had the pleasure of "vibing" to.

[@joelliebler5690]

One of those rock ‘n roll anthem that brought rock back to life along with Born To Run by Te Boss and The E Street Band!

[@memoriadispositio]

Asia, it's always nice to hear you sing! More of that please. 🙂✌

[@davidavi8554]

If you like that song by Petty, you'll like, '' A woman in love (It's not me)" . They used to play that song on the radio back in the 80, but I don't hear it much anymore. It's not that popular, but I LOVE it. React to the music video if you can please.

[@jeffjones6221]

Great tune. Probably my fav petty tune

[@markking3585]

Probably the greatest song writers to ever walk the earth.

[@tylerhackner9731]

What a legend he was. RIP the greatest

[@williamjones6031]

Toms rabbit hole is very deep BUT I will go to my grave with "Damn the Torpedo's" as his best album. RIP Tom😇 Arrowhead 1979!

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

MIKE CAMPBELL on the lead guitar, LEGEND…heist band THE DIRTY KNOBS are incredible, try WICKED MIND, ELECTRIC GYPSY, IRISH GIRL

[@joelmartin-zi7ti]

Oh yeah, I almost forgot 🥴 I was gonna tell ya, fittingly enough given the song we’re discussing, the album was called “Damn the Torpedoes”😆🤣🤟👊🏽✊ It came out in 79 ✌️🫶
