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.

[@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.😢

[@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.

[@janisdelucia6620]

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

[@WarJakEnterprises]

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

[@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...

[@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.

[@brendamichel7486]

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

[@maureenhowell1143]

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

[@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.

[@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..

[@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 .

[@juzzybassgrove4354]

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

[@bobetteskid]

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

[@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.

[@Illinois-Wildlife-Encounters]

[@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.

[@GRBAquatics]

This is The Greatest piece of Art I have seen in some time. Thankyou everyone involved. Thankyou Tom Petty Mike Campbell Benmont Tench and The Heartbreakers. Always such awesome Memories.. .... But still a bit sad every day. Miss you Tom.

[@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

[@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.💔❤️

[@sdelling1]

With a tear in my eye.........Happy Birthday to Tom Petty. You Guys ROCKED IT!

[@gmc2156]

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

[@martdod]

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

[@johne1599]

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

[@gayleschaefer6300]

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

[@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.

[@donmcallister3745]

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

[@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.

[@tootsiebabe3555]

I can't get over how much Mike Campbell sounds like Tom! Anyone else hear it too?

[@mr.austinlucksted783]

No disrespect to Benmont but Mike probably should have sang on American Girl.

[@angelaaugustine9019]

Oh yeah

[@chrislamb8391]

He does!

[@rickhager3288]

Hey! How about that! I agree. And Mike is so much better here than he was on his vocal on the Echo album (I don't want to fight)....

[@marilynbelcher8171]

Absolutely!!!!!!! They NEED to tour!!!!! It's time after covid!!!!!!! PLEASE GUYS????

[@slarsen6653]

Had tears in my eyes all the way through

[@WinstonTexas829]

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

[@benmeltzer]

He has a solo album.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@U2HL]

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

[@barbaramccroy8663]

For sure ✌️🧚🏻‍♂️

[@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.

[@jenniferstanleykrawczyk4200]

Benmont, WOW! Blown into tears, so good!

[@peterregan5818]

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

[@SeanChyun]

This is my new favorite version of "American Girl"

[@thelatenightbar]

That American Girl was fantastic !!

[@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.

[@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

[@chuckmitchell1707]

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

[@brunop3845]

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

[@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.

[@wouterdep]

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

[@NorthCountry84]

I don’t think anyone would complain about these two if they kept on doing stripped down intimate sessions like this

[@firecrackerheart]

pure love and loveliness, gentlemen. thank you.

[@louannebridges2417]

Mike you sound alot like Tom when you aing. I miss you guys❤ still Heartbreakers

[@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.

[@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.

[@scottmccarthy1732]

Crying. Beautiful job brothers

[@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 🎶 🙏 ❤

[@JG-hy3sl]

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

[@geversonsr]

The Heartbreakers weren't a "band"...they were an ensemble of some of the greatest musicians in the world

[@barbaramccroy8663]

Well said! Beautiful blog”Big Beautiful “✌️

[@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

[@cathiejones5446]

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

[@dennisgurka4730]

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

[@ajkavanaugh1977]

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

[@halhoose4456]

Best band…period. Thanks for the songs.

[@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

[@genepoole1771]

Tom Petty = true American hero.

[@phoenixren9642]

That awkward moment when "American Girl" suddenly seems like it's about Tom Petty.....

[@maybemart]

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

[@gabster-ie1vj]

Made a long time fan cry for reals...

[@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.

[@danmoreno37]

Tom's spirit still reverberates in that room.

[@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!

[@LadyBronwynn1400]

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

[@fiddlefolk]

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

[@theamazingt4r468]

Benmont choked up has me like 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@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!

[@user-hb2os7qq6k]

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.❤

[@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.

[@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.

[@Henry.58]

Two guys missing their dear friend, trying to fill a empty spot in their Hearts. We all know this feeling.

[@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.

[@gailremp8389]

[@starskyhutch3286]

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

[@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.

[@michaelandmelanieasby4378]

Feel the hurt with you and for you guys....this is beautiful music from the soul.....deeply.

[@las174]

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

[@brianmccready9065]

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

[@charlietango9523]

You can hear the pain in Benmont

[@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

[@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.🇺🇸🥰✌️

[@-davidolivares]

God bless you two titanic musicians. I know Tom was enjoying that as much as us.

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

Mike has a great voice , pretty unique too

[@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 -

[@mikeshortz8087]
