"You guys are gonna put me outta job"

[@gailremp8389]

It took a while to find the version. You would hear it on SiriusXM but you weren't sure where it came from so right there with you. We never put him outta a job. He put us in the spotlight...RIP TP

[@zacharydglick8296]

Imagine being there the feeling of magic was in the air that night

[@0118Stephen]

I was there many nights

[@michiganrocker3979]

Tom Petty really Rocks

[@johngetman1816]

Best version of breakdown I’ve ever heard. Wish I had been in that audience. Wow! Also the version I’ve heard on various radio stations across the US.

[@johngetman1816]

I hope you know you've made many people happy & I thank you for posting this Joe. Happy Trails my friend! ✌❤⚡

[@michiganrocker3979]

Tom Petty has magic

[@traderdave908]

I miss this dude!!!

[@johndrippert3289]

This was probably the first time I really heard big audience participation at a concert.

[@ronvogt00]

The rest of us too.

[@gailremp8389]

I too am surprised that it doesn't have as many viewings yet. Seriously it is the best

[@ronvogt00]

Thanks for posting this version. I have always loved it. Petty was great live.

[@theultimatecrayon2843]

Thanks Tom for all you music!

[@rayinpau.s.a.6351]

If you listen , you can hear Joe Erickson singing in the crowd ! . Great Song & Video . Thank You for sharing it . Ray in Pa.

[@geofffinnigan6092]

What a cool version of a great song.

[@century2298]

YES ! Performed LIVE ! The LOCAL Radio station used to play this one a lot !

[@morganarose344]

Wow speechless over this version

[@houlalane]

ME TOO!!! I have looked for years for this. Too bad it's not the video too! Maybe someday someone will publish it, I know it's out there somewhere I have seen it.

[@darrinconnor7]

I found the video on Y.T. it's titled " Tom Petty Breakdown (live-1985)"

[@houlalane]

What a find! Thank you!

[@jonathanlee8930]

@@darrinconnor7 this version of "Breakdown" was played on WQDR, an AOR station in Raleigh, NC. One of the DJ's has confirmed this. WQDR went Country in 1984 so this version comes from prior to 1985. The artwork and KZbin info attributes it to Pack Up the Plantation which was released in 1985 but this is not the same version that appears on that album.

THANKS !!! - Really cool stuff............

[@billyemartin2975]

This is my favorite version! I have been searching for the video of this but can't find it.

[@gailremp8389]

Of course I'm sitting here singing hit the road jack at the end part even though he doesn't do it in this particular one. I just have to be strong. I mean you know you gotta have a little Ray Charles in there too.

If there was a boss of all badasses in the world, you’re listening to him now

It's not often we all get the real deal. For me, this is one of the few examples.

👍

[@Doorhandle57]

Anyone know where this was/what year?

[@robertwagner2882]

1985. wiltern theater in cali. best live version of this song.

[@jonathanlee8930]

@@robertwagner2882 this is not the version from Pack Up the Plantation, it predates that album. According to a DJ from WQDR in Raleigh, NC it is a version they played that arrived at the station on reel to reel that was for radio stations only. WQDR went Country in 1984.

[@minty_Joe]

4 people have been put out of a job.

[@keepitmum8306]

What's so "rare" about this version??? It is track #4 from the Pack Up the Plantation: Live! album; which was TP's first official live album. Nothing "rare" about it.

[@zigner]

No, you're wrong. Compare the Pack Up Live Version to this one. It's different. Do you hear "you're gonna put me out of a job" on the live album? Nope. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKvZiaV5h9h-jtU
