[@ndbrookes]

Everything thing I see of Tom makes me love him more and miss that little bit more. I doubt we'll find another quite like him, and that makes me sad, but I believe we were blessed to have him. Generations from now will hear and love his music. Tom hasn't gone anywhere just yet. The waiting is the hardest part.

[@davidbenoist4223]

Nick Brookes there will never be another Tom Petty. One of the few that made every single thing he made with his soul. He never sold out

You are so right. The more I see Tom, the more my love for him grows. I love everything about him.

All of the above ❤🎶

I cannot see or hear enough of Tom. 🎩✨💕

Old adage, you never realize how good something is until you lose it. What a loss :(

[@doogalloonni]

He deserved every success he attained. I'm just being selfish by wishing we could have had him for a Much longer time. RIP Tom.

[@wendyhoops6620]

Very well said.

[@carolbass2679]

I hate that Tom left us too soon but this video is a reminder of the incredible life he packed into those 66 years.

[@hannaj4032]

He was 3 weeks short of 67.

[@kimberlybellefontaine1215]

I so agree with you on that. God, I miss him. WE are the ones left mourning though -- all of us who loved him so much. HE got to do what he loved all of his life, right down to his very last days. And boy did he do some fine things with that talent of his. It was never wasted. Not an ounce of it. RIP sweet Tom....❤️

[@kimlanoue2033]

He was humble, gracious, gifted and so many things to so many people. He will be so missed.

[@williamrasp8388]

Yes Kim, i miss him dearly. His music was the soundtrack to my youth, my life. i never cried over the loss of an entertainer but i cried like a baby the day Tom died!

[@janhensley3617]

RIP TOM PETTY I still repeat the words of wisdom I Learned from you!

[@marilynbelcher8171]

I miss Tom and the Heartbreakers =( I grew up on this music! From the time I was 17 I was hooked!!! Got backstage once in the early 80's!!! BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!! I am 58, soon to be 59. It makes me sad to watch this. Tom loved US like no other!!!!! He did the last tour with a broken hip! Now THAT IS LOVE!!!!! He didn't want to let us down!!!!! MISS YOU TOM!!!!!! =(

[@hannaj4032]

Tom was a Cub Scout! He was always adorable but just getting fine at 40. I'm so glad he was content at 40 which confirms at 66 and still selling out shows he knew he had succeeded. He was always so humble. There will never be another to come close to him.

[@kimberlybellefontaine1215]

Hanna J absolutely agree with you👌. And wow, do I miss him....😭😭😭😭💔

[@minipterodactyl8002]

Hanna I wanna watch the the one with Tom petty and guns and roses the truth about Tom and guns and roses interview

[@kimberlybellefontaine1215]

He was pretty darned HOT at 40 yrs old, wasn't he..?? I mean, he was always so damned cute. Loved him from almost the start. But as he evolved, he grew even hotter. I LOVE him at 40❤️ Whew. Hotness.

[@shannonkringen]

i remember seeing this in 1991 when new! so cool so see it again. makes me cry. love his music so much and his personality. what a big heart and soul

[@kimberlybellefontaine1215]

Shannon Kringen crying here, too...😭😭💔

[@kimberlybellefontaine1215]

He was such a humble, gracious human being with a heart as big as they come. Not many Tom Pettys in this world. He was one in a million❤️

[@davidbenoist4223]

I remember it the too. Was 5 years old but I had already been a tom fan since I was 2 by then

[@ScottTheNews]

An amazing person, nice man and a great musician to boot. Much missed!

[@evelynbaron2004]

This was fairly early footage' so glad it's been preserved.

[@MsDellis1]

Rest in paradise Tom Petty. What a great talent and sad ending to this legend ❤️

[@williamrasp8388]

i remember my sister blasting American girl for weeks when it first came out. So i snuck into her room and took the album; i sure got into trouble for that! But it changed my life forever.

[@tupu_683]

Perfect song

[@lisamena874]

I still can´t believe he´s gone

[@bitechabitechabitecha9015]

Allyn, thank you and God bless you for all of the very cool PETTY vids. I don't have any family left, never could have babies, and I will always feel a kinship to Tom Petty. LORD knows he got me through some hard times!! Feeling depressed because tomorrow is his birthday. I def appreciate all the music he left us. Feeling alone and a little suicidal.

[@judyharpur1083]

Oh don't be sad. This too will pass. Please speak to someone and maybe your doctor. It's not easy this old life but you never know what's round the corner x

[@christophlieding734]

Just want to send you Alohas and just remember its not always dark. Music makes us feel good and helps our minds and souls. We all go through hard times and then we find love again. Take care and lets celebrate Tom Petty's music and life.

[@christophlieding734]

@@@judyharpur1083 thanks for that! We all go through hard times and think it too bad but their is always someone close to you and help its just in reach. Music always helps me and Tom Petty is one of them come through always. Aloha to you too.

[@lisaroye3818]

I call Tom “my blonde Jesus” because he has helped me get thru this life far more than the one I was raised on. I had started saying that back some time before he died, but it’s even more true since. Lol, in shock when he was pronounced dead, I said..... “well maybe he’ll rise again in three days...” And truth be told, he DOES keep rising again. Not sure he’s resting peacefully; more likely he’s still working pretty hard at what he loves the most.

[@lisaroye3818]

I hope you’re ok, bitecha. 💖

[@SoulWaveLa1]

HIs BOW is just incredible truly one of the greatest R&R songwriters ever. RIP TOM.Thank you for what you left us.

The feeling I used to get when I heard Tom Petty’s music... I still get that feeling from time to time. The country he was singing about is mostly gone now... or is it?

[@colingraham9281]

777jones only if you allow it to! I believe Tom would fight tooth & nail to keep it the right way.

[@thedudeabides3930]

I kinda think so, but not only because of "bad" people, etc. I think back in the day we were separated by region and the regions were highly distinctive. They were from Gainesville, and Gainesville was its own "thing" and he brought that Southern flair to California just like other bands from that region (Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, etc.) let their southern rock sound emerge -- it wasn't as easy to get around so it was a big deal when everybody kind of "met up" with each other through mass media. Now, it's like we have one big "monoculture" where the stores are the same in every state and town, the radio got all bought up, everybody is kind of herded into a "sameness" which just isn't as cool.

[@allangray6764]

Damn what a great ending; him playing his first ever song

[@marimbadearco]

Thanks for posting. He's like your friend, the one you never met. Smoking since High School, odds are he'd have many more years without the tobacco messing with his body. At least he kicked heroin!

[@kimberlybellefontaine1215]

You're so absolutely right. He's like the friend we've never met. I honestly can't say that about too many people, if even anyone else at all. So humble, so gracious, so genuinely talented, and so willing to share all of his talents with us. He was just a fine man. I'm gonna miss him for a very long, long time. If I feel like this, I can only imagine how all of his bandmates are feeling (40+ years of being together & knowing one another, like a band of brothers) and Dana and his kids.. :(

[@sambeer9265]

Not to be a party pooper or step on Tom's legacy because he, in my mind was a beautiful soul, with the true gift of music in his blood. But he died of a drug overdose from touring with a broken hip. The last tour he has a fracture in his hip and by the time he got home it was a full on break and he took some pills before bed and just never woke up again. It's super sad. That said fuck all that drug shit. He was a great man and will always be my favorite musician of all time. Rest in peace tommy

[@bobbyferguson2852]

Tom Petty, inspired my original song "The Long Road" I wrote it after listening to Tom's " I won't back down"

[@janhensley5410]

Thank you so much for posting this.

[@DavidNewlandz]

Durable, lovable. rock n' roll-able, Tom you are adorable, that's music oh ye.

[@janhensley5410]

Great interview ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Shay_-cq2cl]

Tom Petty will always be the soundtrack of my teenage years and is still relevant today. You always know his songs with the first cords and his phenomenal vocals. You really can’t put his music in a box because he always changed things up. His collaborations were always amazing.

[@danr5105]

The Gainesville documentary (saw it on Netflix I think) is a show I can and did watch over and over. Not to be a bummer but Tom Petty died of an opiate/benzo (accidental) overdose according to the LA Coroner. No matter, still love your work Tom Petty.

Total bad ass, I’m sad he’s not with us.

[@gobigrey9352]

Those clips towards the end, where he has the sunglasses and scruffy face, was that it's own interview that was aired on it's own? I remember watching one where he looked like that. I was a little kid and only saw it once and haven't seen it since.

[@laurenjwolf]

I really want to see this interview as well!!

[@tupu_683]

I swear most of his songs sound like #1 hits

[@davidjunto1008]

It's too bad a lot of people (mostly Americans) don't recognize character writing (a narrative written from someone ELSE'S point-of-view) when they hear it,which is how Tom most often wrote. They think if he's singing it, that is how he feels and thinks . Then you get Tom, upset at the misunderstanding, not playing that song anymore,which is what happened to "Rebels" and some other great songs. They would only play them in Europe, etc where they are more likely to understand those literary devices. It was a real shame.

[@jamesdoakes4956]

Well said. Reminds me of Springsteen who used that format for most of his career

[@johnbrandt7024]

This is fantastic.

[@evelynbaron2004]

Good on you Tom

[@juryrecitalmay1359]

Round the clock creative is from someone who is hard on himself, sometimes from childhood abuse, but he created beauty. I’m in the same boat, and I hate sharing my musical secrets with other musicians. But sometimes I begrudgingly do…I love his daisy shirt..
