Tom was a legend and a gift to us all He defines "One of a kind" and Rock n Roll Missed by everyone but the music lives forever! RIP

I was at that last concert. It was awesome!!!

[@danmcguire8941]

There's a reason Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, and Geoff Lynne wanted to perform with him; it was so evidently clear that he was on their level.

[@crabbinmoose8583]

He happily went to the end of the line.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Better

[@scientificdevil4672]

Tom was the definition of cool. He wore it well. When I heard of his death i had a "breakdown". I lost my Mom, my nephew, and one of my closest friends all within a month, then to top it off we lost Tom Petty a couple weeks later. It was so much all at once. I just sat there and cried. RIP Tom Petty!

[@FFLL2112]

Man that’s tough. God Bless

[@lancevoorhees7318]

I love the music, I saw them in Oklahoma City and later in California in Yuba City at Toyota theatre, I cried also when I heard of his passing, Tom was such a great song writer and singer, he played guitar very well! Their songs and playing literally took everyone on a sensory trip! He was so talented, he made me feel I was on the trip with the group!

[@brendablantz5771]

​@Lance Voorhees I still cry and my son

[@mirandadickerson8482]

Thank you Tom Petty for all of your music. Alot of memories with your music. RIP Tom ❤❤💙💙

[@jamiewentworth887]

American music wouldn’t be the same without this man or his band. Thank you Tom for all the great music that will outlast us all.

[@kareybarey13]

Even on deaths door, he rocked total balls. RIP.

[@Moonmaedyn]

On "death's door"??? Seriously??? He didn't have anything death-related going on--people live for decades with emphysema, and broken hips can be replaced. No one knew he would die in 5 days. He certainly didn't know he was going to die in 5 days. He didn't PLAN to die in 5 days. Excrement happens. He ALWAYS gave all he had. Always. ♥

[@MrStudGuy]

karey lester I wouldn’t call this rocking. More like a legend in agony, high as a kite loaded on opiates who’s trying hard to push himself to the finish line of a tour he shouldn’t have been on.

[@melissagerber7231]

D.L. Moore no, only a blocked artery to his hip, that caused the bone to die. Yes, people can live for decades , and broken hips can be replaced, but-surgery for broken hips can kill people with emphysema.

[@MargeB1953]

@@Moonmaedyn he was on 7 prescription meds and overdosed...I don't think it was planned, it just happens when the body can take no more...period

[@joannnebrooks860]

He took a piece of my ❤ with him. I'll be missing you and you gave all of us so many memories.

[@roxannemoser]

He took most of my heart with him.

[@carlasullivan3637]

I still am shocked he's gone. Every song was my life story. God I'll miss him 😢

[@yaimavol]

This song is 40 years old when he is singing it on stage. It was a hit in the late 70's when Album Rock was dying and the 80's sound and MTV was replacing it. Petty never waivered. Kept true to his style and his art and kept cranking out hits.

[@genadomangue9759]

I was at this show & had great time, second time I saw him on the 40th anniversary tour. I noticed he was moving with some difficulty but I thought it was left over from bronchitis etc & it was such a rocking show! I go back now & I can see his pain! If only he'd have gone to the Dr rather than waiting! Thank you for that last show TPHB

[@sjgoode6590]

Grew up on his Music! A LEGEND!

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

7:40…that’s so awesome…Mike knew Tom was hurting up there…the man was being driven by rock n roll…once off the stage he could barely walk…he gave us EVERYTHING he had

[@lancevoorhees7318]

If he just would have had his hip replaced or fixed, he’d still be rocking! I’ve had three hip replacements(one went bad), but the pain will subside after a couple of months, then my left knee replaced from Osteoarthritis, Tom Petty was a wonderful musician, and so were the rest of the group! His loyalty to the band was immense! Sirius Radio is a blessing for their music, I listen to the Tom Petty station daily!

[@cheryllueddeke8805]

So Amazing. Kids today will have no idea how amazing it was to go to and follow bands to these shows. Such a great time to have lived

[@cryptodnut9277]

One of my biggest regrets was never seeing you live Tom. Grew up listening to you from my parents love of your music, and you influenced my passion for guitar.

[@dixieyoung3924]

Also one of my regrets not to see him live. Love some Tom Petty!!!!!!

[@randallpetersen9164]

Same, same. Can't believe I never saw them. And I can't believe I never quite realized what a fantastic guitarist Mike Campbell is either.

[@chopsngravey]

I LOVE THIS SONG... ONE OF THE SONGS OF MY CHILDHOOD.. WHEN I WOULD DRIVE MY CJ-5 DOWN A SMALL TOWN ROAD IN MIDDLE AMERICA AND HAVE MY JENSEN SPEAKERS CRANKED UP ... AND MY HAIR FLYING IN THE WIND.. MY HEART FEELING LIKE ID NEVER GROW OLD.. MY EYES SAW EVERYTHING CLEARLY ... MY MIND WAS SO POWERFUL.. LIKE I WAS NEVER GONNA DIE.... AND TOM WAS THERE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.. EVERY MILE I DROVE HE WAS THERE... YOU WENT AWAY TO SOON TOM... THE WORLD COULD OF GOTTEN 4 MORE ALBUMS OUT OF YOU... OR MORE.. I HAD ONE CHANCE TO SEE YOU IN NYC AT THE BEACON .. AND SOME ASS HOLE SOLD ME A FAKE TICKET.. 2 OF THEM.. AND I LOST 600 BUCKS.. 300 A PIECE FOR 3 ROW CENTER OR SO I THOUGHT.. ANYWAY.. I LISTENED TO YOU THRU THE BACK WALLS OF THE THEATER ON AMSTERDAM AVE.... I HEARD YOU .. I COULDN'T SEE YOU .. BUT I HEARD FOR A FEW SONGS...

[@gailremp8389]

This song and refugee are the ones that blow me up. It was a long time wait coming because I wasn't really familiar with Tom Petty. Hard to believe but you know life is different for different people during the 70s in the 80s in the 90s and stuff. So I'm a little slow to the party but I'm here. God bless his soul

[@ratter531]

Tom Petty, you were the nicest man I ever met, I will Love you forever, as will you fans. You ARE A ROCK LEGEND, and you will missed by the millions of your fans, WE LOVE YOU TOM PETTY.

Saw Tom and the heartbreakers in August of 1978, Portland, Maine. It was hot in the Civic Center, and the sweat was just pouring out of him and he was great. I think Atlanta Rhythm Section was the warm up band.

Tom Petty was the Elvis Presley of the 21st century.

[@juliussw9153]

Tom Petty was hardly around for the 21st century. And he hardly made any of his best music in it either. I'm glad that you think he's a new artists, but he's been making these songs in the 70s-90s.

[@DesertDigger1]

Hey Genius! I've been a petty fan since the late 70's, no where did I think or say he's a new artist, unfortunately he's gone now. You didn't understand my comment, this is typical when the left say something. I bought "Damn the Torpedo's" on cassette in 1982. Do you know how that album came about and almost didn't it, or will you have to Goggle it?

[@Gardeninggirl1107]

I still have all my Petty cassettes - Side B Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers is worn, but still plays. Lots of rewinding, rewinding, rewinding. His music defined my life. The best songwriter & performer ever. Still choked up....

I know exactly what you’re looking for, my favorite version hands down. It was on their first live album from the 1985 “Pack Up The Plantation” tour.
