Tom Petty's 70th Birthday Bash ft Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench

[@geoffroubik5273]

Benmont’s arrangement completely changes that classic. So many mind blowing artists in one band, for a very long time. wow.... thanks Ben and Mike...we all needed that

[@kraziefotoboi]

This is what I think this song would sound like of it was written by Leonard Cohen

[@Dahlia10]

@@kraziefotoboi love Lenoard Cohen and your right.

[@DH-xm3hc]

​@@Dahlia10 😢 I agree too. ✌️❤️🌼

[@moochiesmum]

I can't believe how much Tom Petty's death still affects me. He was one of my very favorite artists. His music was a huge part of my youth.😢

[@janisdelucia6620]

Benmont. What a fantastic take on American Girl. Love his interpretation and his voice!

[@robsniffen7597]

Ben and Mike, would love to see a the two of you play together even more. We miss Tom and we also miss the Heartbreakers.

[@johntallanger4036]

This is not just the best version of Something Good Coming but one of the best things I've ever heard. So unbelievably real and beautiful.

[@cathiejones5446]

Who knew Mike could sing! Just awesome these two, thanks for carrying the torch.

[@DH-xm3hc]

He's always been able to sing as back up. What back up singer can't sing? ❤✌️❤️🌼

[@bellofortis2020]

I barely made it through American Girl. What an absolutely lovely rendition Mr. Tench. I very much appreciated and could feel the tenderness and care that went into this performance. We will miss Tom Petty forever, but he left us with some damn good music. Bravo.

[@raybede]

What a most heartfelt thought by two lovely men who are missing their friend and fellow musician as we do. He brought us so much.

[@lamonanera5144]

Nothing but love for these men ......what an amazing way to honor there brother 😢....you boys hit it home ...great job ..long live the HEARTBREAKERS...

[@maureenhowell1143]

still missing Tom so very much. this was just beautiful ❤

[@WarJakEnterprises]

Tom was loved by millions, especially his friends & family. His music will live on forever. RIP Tom we miss ypu terribly!

[@bobetteskid]

Love these sweet guys.Nobody plays piano like Benmont or guitar like Mike. Pure genius!!

[@garybowell9792]

Must have been very hard to hold it together . Hats off for a very soulful performance . Great tribute to your body of work . I got choked up .

[@carolynwilson2206]

Looking at Benmont's hands playing the piano is beautiful to me. Just thinking about the thousands of times he played while Tom sang brings a tear to my eyes. Oh, if only to be able to relive all those times. Thanks to Ben, Mike and the other Heartbreakers. I'm sure they, like us, dearly miss our Tom Petty.

[@scottmatznick3140]

"This is the first time I've played it in this key" touched me because he's only ever played it for Tom to sing.

[@brendamichel7486]

"Something Good Comin" - such a mournful, beautiful song. Gets me right in the feels! Miss you Tom!!

[@MicheleJane]

Making me cry. Love you guys. Miss Tom Petty.

[@nathanmarshallmusic]

I remember when this video was released and how I couldn't make myself watch it. Now i know why. Through the tears, all I can say is thanks for all the great songs.

[@slarsen6653]

Had tears in my eyes all the way through

[@harryprufertillustratorkar7943]

Ihr seid einmalig gut und bessere Musiker und Freunde hätte Tom Petty nicht haben können. DANKE EUCH !!! Ihr rührt mich zu Tränen und da ist soviel Liebe und Wärme in Euch, ja Tom hört Euch zu und hält Eure Hände und die Gläser zum 70..

[@chrizgigi]

The feeling of loss is so palpable... These two friends showed their love and grief through their beautiful renditions of two of Tom's great songs. The hug from Mike to Ben was so touching. I'm moved to tears most times I watch this. Thank God we have KZbin... It somehow keeps Tom alive in our hearts and minds.

[@juzzybassgrove4354]

Tom’s passing still brings me to tears. The Heartbreakers are amazing. Much love to you all

[@johne1599]

Haunting how much Mike sounds like Tom. This was beautiful. Thank you, Benchmont and Mike!

[@laserluver1]

Mike is a pretty darned good singer. He sounds a lot like Tom.

[@kalagarvin2]

He really does!!

[@teresaroling3162]

Love Tom AND THE HEARTBREAKERS FOREVER! Keep his music alive, guys. YOU do it BEST, not others doing covers. He lives in you & comes through you when you play. Peace & love. Heartbroken Heartbreakers. And fans.💔❤️

[@jayyoung4055]

I don’t think it had ever occurred to me that “American Girl” could be arranged to where it caused me to tear up. But here you go……😢 Benmont Tench, Mike Campbell, Thank You. And Tom. Rest In Peace

[@gmc2156]

"A whole that will never be filled", you are 100% right. Thank you for this video.

[@bobetteskid]

Gorgeous work! Thank you, sweet gentlemen. You are true Heartbreakers. Love you so much. Thank you for blessing Tom's memory for all of us who will love him always. Benmont and Mike true genius in your musical artistry.

[@WinstonTexas829]

I never knew Benmont was such a great & moving singer. He’s so soulful & emotional.

[@benmeltzer]

He has a solo album.

[@wendym2544]

What a tragedy losing TP was. Love him and all of you. Thanks for the songs.

[@martdod]

The loss of Tom Petty is another hole in the heart and soul of music that can never be filled. RIP

[@peterregan5818]

Ben is an absolutely amazing pianist - just an amazing groove. These 2 guys, to my ear, are the 'sound' of TP & the Heartbreakers.

[@U2HL]

Love this performance...Tom would have approved it...that hug...so sweet...❤❤🎵🎶🎤🎸🎹

[@barbaramccroy8663]

For sure ✌️🧚🏻‍♂️

[@thelatenightbar]

That American Girl was fantastic !!

[@jenniferstanleykrawczyk4200]

Benmont, WOW! Blown into tears, so good!

[@firecrackerheart]

pure love and loveliness, gentlemen. thank you.

[@johntallanger4036]

This blows me away every time. Mike pushing Benmont to take over and the interplay is so beautiful. Amazing. Teamwork.

[@laurelarmstrong4735]

It is difficult for fans missing Tom Petty. I can't even imagine how it is for his family, band, and friends. Thank you for continuing the music.

[@montygraham145]

Mike, you have the voice and soul to do Tom's thing. Kendered souls. Think about it. You two have/had..have that thing few will ever have.

[@donmcallister3745]

Lovely Birthday Tribute… Thanks Benmont & Mike… and of course… Tom Petty 🪷💐🪷

[@buccos2004]

Lord I love Mike and Benmont, and miss Tom so much. So thankful the music is eternal! Long live Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers!

[@ArtDonna84]

First two songs had me spellbound. Benmont is an extraordinary musician. Mike forever a foundation of the Heartbreakers sound. Moving tribute. In my mind I kept thinking how hard it must have been initially to step back into that studio. That last song lifted me back up.

[@wouterdep]

what a great rendition of American Girl. thank you for this!

[@ajkavanaugh1977]

Incredible take on a classic. I have SiriusXM but only for Tom Petty Radio and it's because of songs like this.

[@foylebutler8952]

This is a great rendition of these song. Thx Ben. thx Mike.

[@gayleschaefer6300]

Rest in peace, Tom. You are a well loved man.

[@susanbezio6708]

The Heartbreakers were one hell of a band. Benmont and Mike, two of Gainesville Fl finest musicians along with their friend Tom. 💯❤️🙏☮️ From Gainesville Fl.

[@stratmagic6893]

I have been listening to Wildflowers and all the Rest non stop for weeks and find it amazing that an album of the magnitude of All the Rest was just sitting in the can all that time. Tom was truly one of the greatest songwriters of all time. RIP Tom and thanks guys for all the wonderful music 🎶 🙏 ❤

[@chuckmitchell1707]

Great music comes from the heart! You nailed it....thank you!

[@JEFFERY64]

All the years Ive seen Tom and heartbreakers live Ive never seen Mike sing backup and this whole time hes got a hell of a voice

[@jeffhelton5205]

Amazing how much he sounds like ...well you know who

[@cramster3495]

We all know how good a player Mike is, but Benmont's piano here is outstanding. Saw your first UK tour in 1976 and your final performance at Hyde Park 40 years later. Thanks guys, I miss Tom and all of you

[@jackedee3126]

Thank You Mike / Thank you Benmont for this and all the great music. I mean it from the very core of my soul, Thank you. Tom's spirit is still alive in all of the great music that he created and also in all the musicians that he inspired. Much respect and best wishes.

[@SherculesMoonflowerSassdragon]

Fantastic homage to Tom -- thanks Mike & Benmont! I highly recommend, if not yet seen, the documentary "Runnin' Down A Dream" by Peter Bogdanovich. Really made me appreciate Tom Petty as a songwriter and The Heartbreakers as a band.

[@halhoose4456]

Best band…period. Thanks for the songs.

[@SeanChyun]

This is my new favorite version of "American Girl"

[@kimberlyhurst]

It is a fitting tribute to Tom Petty and he did leave a hole in the music world. Tom lives on in his music, which has touched a lot of lives. Awesome job

[@scottmccarthy1732]

Crying. Beautiful job brothers

[@viviave8]

That was so intense. What strong, beautiful humans. Helps me endure. Music is really the only thing that can carry us through a hard life... & there will be more after this one.

[@ThomasSLutter]

Yes, I agree! And this american girl-version is very moving. So sad Tom has passed.

[@cyberdude721]

always like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers once I seen the documentary Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Running Down A Dream just really fascinated with their whole trip so much great music and a wild ride and spanned 30 plus years or more buying all the albums I never did much RESPECT!

[@JG-hy3sl]

There will never another artist and song writer like Tom Petty!!!!

[@Marc-js8rx]

Heartstring-tugging tribute for sure. As a guitarist, I miss TP so much, but it has given me a whole new level of appreciation for Mike as an artist and a human being. So glad I picked up tix for his DIRTY KNOBS performance at Park West come October 2021-- even worth flyin' there from Phoenix. I just feel the need to see this man Live and introduce the bride to him.

[@LadyBronwynn1400]

That was great. I still shed a tear when I see his videos especially American Girl.

[@dennisgurka4730]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Thank you very much guys. Peace be with you both.

[@kathydavis2147]

Came across this morning. What an awsome tribute honoring Tom. I had seen on a documentary where Mike was shy and the band couldnt get him to sing. Omg what an aewsome job Mike. Please keep singing for all of us. Benmont thank you for your wonderful performance. Would love to see more of yall perform. Thank you for making my day. God Bless!

[@gabster-ie1vj]

Made a long time fan cry for reals...

[@jameshale5543]

This is a treasure. The emotion is palpable. hard to fathom their sense of loss. Love the American Girl arrangement.. Thank you gentlemen. Tom is proud.

[@TheBella2u]

Just found this…Tom sure had an eye for recognizing talent and for good people ❤to be good friends with for a lifetime! You guys rock. Respect.

[@alicat7281]

Something Good Coming made me cry, it was really touching. Thanks, guys, for doing this. I’m a Florida born woman, my Dad was born in High Springs. Thanks for the music.

[@barbaramccroy8663]

That little set was “big” and “beautiful “ I got chills. Big tears to.😔🧚🏻‍♂️. Two beautiful, and very talented people! The vocals and the music was very peaceful and yes...so much soul. Truly in love with this video . Happy belated birthday to Tom Petty . I wouldn’t of had this beautiful experience to listen to this very treasured music to my heart and my soul if it weren’t for Tom Pettys eccentric and powerful love of music ! And the same goes for Mike and Benmont and all the Heartbreakers and Mudcrutch guys. Thank you fir a life time of fantastic , truly soulful and rockin music! May the good spirits be with all of you and your families and Stevie to. I sure did vote!♥️🇺🇸✌️

[@barbaramccroy8663]

For me, beautiful take on the whole set. It was just what the doctor ordered that day for me.. I also liked it when Benmont said this about Tom Petty 🧚🏻‍♂️, that cat sure could write some good music “. I also will be voting on Jan, 5 2021, blue is now my new favorite color.🇺🇸🥰✌️

[@brunop3845]

Love & music still make a difference. Happy birthday, Tom!

[@fiddlefolk]

Great tribute to a Legend! We love y'all and to all who grew up on the heartbreakers and Tom......

[@gailremp8389]

Rock and roll grows up. Tom said you always play the old stuff for the fans but you have to add something new and surprising. RIP Tom. . . Thanks guys. You done good. You did him proud and we thank you.

[@maybemart]

What an absolute joy to watch this. Pure soul and feeling guys...awesome!

[@w.keithsharp4860]

Tom knew he was unique. There is no replacing him. Yet, what he , Mike and the guys created can be interpreted in Tom's spirit.... thanks. I hope you guys do more in the future. May be a tour with Stevie and others filling in for Tom. And time for you all to step to the center mike, in love for Tom and the fans he cherised so so much....

[@barbaramccroy8663]

[@Phil-u6p]

I love these guys and their music and devotion to each other they are truely freinds real like their music Tom was a blessed man to have friends like these guys in his life.❤

[@Dahlia10]

I was away from my phone when Mike was doing Something good coming and I wasn't sure whether it had changed or not but Mike is sounded the most like Tom that I have heard, keep bringing it to us old and NEW loving it ALL

[@shellycolston4548]

The lyric pause is a kindness🙏 that touches the hearts soul, when all these things how forgotten? and I never even knew I know, come rushing in all at once, heart wrenching/bittersweet, I cry fallen, to my knees.Will anyone understand?⏳ The devastating loss. BuT the LOVE ,LOve, loVE. Can it really be. ❤️🦋🌈TP🌈💜💕🎶☀️💦😇.🌜moons and 🏞️ mountains.

[@susanlawrence8401]

😭 must have been so hard for them to do! I am sure Tom appreciated it and was like “ yup that’s why they were in the band”!! So so so sad seeing them at the end of the first 2 songs trying to keep it together 💕💕💕 only truly amazing professionals could have done that!Tom was proudly there with them for sure!! The fact Mike sang ( both sounded great) for Tom- deep brotherhood! 2022 and so many are watching 💕 Happy Birthday Tom -

[@cowsongs]

Benmont sings like Warren Zevon. I really like this!

[@ДмитрийРудаков-л5э]

Thank you Mike and Benmont!!! Thank you really from Russia!!! We loves Tom!!!

[@socaltavi]

Geez, I mean . . what can you say? Brilliant musicians, brilliant songs. As someone else pointed out below, maybe they should tour. The moment at 8:27 flashes by in an instant, but I saw 50 years in that moment, and it arrested me. I saw you guys numerous times growing up and throughout the years, the last time in Philadelphia, on my birthday, in 2017, when I took my wife, who had never been to a Heartbreakers concert. R.I.P., Tom. Thank you, gentlemen.

[@brianmccready9065]

Two of the loveliest men in all of music. Thank you guys, I needed this. We all needed this.

[@las174]

I think this was extremely emotional and hard for them to do without falling apart.

[@ridingradsslingingstrats2846]

Whew got a little teary eyed there .and now I know I'd be asking way too much here but wouldn't it be great to see The Heartbreakers do some type of Gig in honor of Tom Petty music and the timeless legacy that he left behind ? including the Heartbreakers who I grew up listening too as a child I'd lay awake all night and couldn't wait to here come on the Radio .and then I'd stay up later until I heard them again. They're songs brought the light of the sun into the dark World I grew up in not only that made everything alright. For those 2 or 3 minute songs life was great and Tom Perry's song just gave us so much hope .he write for the under dog . and had a great sense of humour that just made you smile and they still do today !but I must admit it's hard knowing he had to go off to that great gig in the sky so suddenly . but wouldn't it be great to see the Heartbreakers and friends .do one last show and make a DVD or a TPT special. Both timeless and priceless . much respect and apreciation for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the reason I play music today .thank you so much for your music inspiration and hope you all have and continue to provide the world .Gid bless all !

[@mobobb3555]

Great to see these two celebrating Tom's birthday on a personal level and still willing to share it with the rest of us. I've got some songs for you to learn boys - whenever you're ready.

[@stljimi]

Tom Petty is the g.o.a.t. 🎶 Thanks for all the great memories.

[@shannakinser1975]

Still hurts because when I was all of 22, there was Tom and the Heartbreakers with Bob Dylan live. Then there was Tom and the Heartbreakers with Stevie Nicks, Linda Ronstadt, and Don Henley live. This Gen Xer has the childlike faith that I'll be reunited with these musicians who raised entire generations.

[@starskyhutch3286]

We love u guys. Some of the best music. You guys are awesome. Much love to you both.

[@shadowmanmd214]

That was great. True inspiration fellas. Tom would be so proud of you, the music, the written word, the man and band will live on forever. You both showed anyone who is hurtin that they Can Make it Through. Thank you for sharing. Peace ✌

[@pasquinelman]

You can just feel the emotion in from Benmont 'Something Good Coming'...outstanding.

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

Always knew Mike Campbell could sing as it was obvious on the albums. Benmont Tench has an understated voice but it really sounds good on this classic song. Never really heard him on the albums.

[@benmeltzer]

"You don't have to live like a refugee" response vocal = Benmont
