Tom Petty - Little Bit Of Soul (Live 1985)

[@carolynwilson2206]

When Tom jumped into the air he was just realizing he was learning to fly. Now I'm sure his soul is in heaven having a glorious time. RIP dear one.

I was 15 years old and suicidal when this first aired on Showtime. I'd watch it every time it was on. I'm not saying that I would be dead now if not for this song but it helped me through a tough time.

Music is the one real magic 🎩! With amazing healing powers that help us cope and hang in there.

[@dawnkamen]

My Uncle was the guitar player for the Music Explosion and the whole family loves this version. :)

[@susanhutchinson4102]

If you want a lift, watch this. One of my all-time favorites. I love his facial expressions, and the back and forth of Stan and Tom. Amazing and just joyful!!

I love that look Tom gives at 4:57! - Have been through some incredibly traumatic things over the last few years, but this songs always pushes those storm clouds aside to let a little sun shine though :)

[@suziQ27]

[@anitadelongis3056]

Great song.

[@kennethnappe9361]

Vanessa Masciantonio,,, no this is not like the original but Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers came on the scene like a fresh breeze that woke up a new generation to rock and roll.. Disco be Damned... I hope you have had the chance to see this band live. They took everyone's breath away and the girls and women melted in the audience. This was 1977... lol... so I'm just giving you a time frame.

[@jerrymcdaniel1522]

this wasn't 1977, this was around 1985

[@jerrymcdaniel1522]

Unless you're talking about when Tom Petty started with the Heart breakers in 1976

[@plantium1000]

Right on!

[@granmapen]

Tom can you come over right now. I need some soul....

[@alanharris9667]

[@MOSKII58]

[@EmJCruz]

I'm in love with Benmont but damn Mike is sooo cute in this video!

[@teddysaginaw9101]

💪💪💪💪💪

[@alanharris9667]

when we got off of noahs arc we all went are separate ways,in different verbal languages, music being the universal exception

[@wellingtonian]

Great cover, they also do a great cover of route 66. please post if you can.

[@MichaelBennett-kr8gc]

Only people that get it❤

[@GroovinEZ]

@pilatesbody1 The "original" is by British beatgroup The Little Darlings, so I guess you're not referring to The Music Explosion's cover version? The original was produced by John Carter & Ken Lewis of The Ivy League (Carter/Lewis & the Southerners, Flower Pot Men etc.) who also wrote the song, so it's a "British InvERsion" song (not British invasion bands covering American tunes, but the other way around). It can be found on an Ace CD called “You heard it here first”. But Petty did a great job.

[@fatboy1454]

nice

[@MichaelBennett-kr8gc]

Exactly show me people that know what this is

[@Godfather3299]

this is a deadly version of the song. Petty should have recorded it professionally. it's due for a rebirth with a fresh,contemporary spin.

[@smsmoof8128]

Cool as the other side of the pillow that guy was ...

[@truhizzy]

I don't know ? He didn't know the words then cuz he looks coked out of his mind (80's), but he's still touring. Where is The Music Explosion ? Tom Petty is a LEGEND ! !

[@chellacasselli210]

I'll do it!!!!

[@martiegerecke8473]

No offense, but Stan fricken Lynch brings the heat!!

[@jimlutz8092]

Stan might have been a pain the ass for Tom, but he was one hell of a good drummer when the groove got going.

[@KALELis113]

very good cover, original still the best though

[@alanharris9667]
