Tom Petty Compilation 

I made this compilation to make it easier for people to find all of these stories. These are clips from interviews I've done over the years. Feel free to share it with your favorite Tom Petty fan.

Great stuff. Anything TP and The Heartbreakers makes me smile. Bottle Kenny V's laugh and give it as medecin.

My FAVORITE guitar player speaking first-Tom Bukovac . I was just so so so compelled to see Tom Petty and I’m so glad I went. I saw him front row in Seattle and he looked beat, bent and worn-STILL put on a wonderful show. TomPetty missed the next gig but went on to finish this final tour-TomPetty does it for the music and his fans- rest in peace, beautiful soul, great music maker.

OTIS this is a great compilation on Tom , I love the Petty albums like Wild Flowers and could see how Dylan , Young and Lucinda Willliams had a great influence on Petty very honest tracks , real singer song writer personal heart felt music .

Still miss Tom Petty. Thanks for sharing.

Great video Otis. Man I love Petty right from the beginning. He captured the essence of good no bs music, right from his early releases in the mid '70s on....I shall always miss him.

I don't know if it's my favorite PETTY song but it's my favorite one right now. Straight Into Darkness.

Favorite Petty song? SO many great songs, but as a favorite I'd choose the quiet, moving Square One. About getting past some struggle.

Louisiana Rain strikes me. Really anything from Damn The Torpedoes impacted me when it was released. That album is timeless and will be played forever.

My brother and I share a love of Tom Petty. A great man who will be missed. This collection of interviews is fantastic. Thank you for who you are and what you do.

Wow Tom Bukovac! Thanks Otis my favorite uncle Larry is a great interview! Two of my favorite people in the music business Otis and Tom! You’ve absolutely made my day with this so a giant thanks from the SanFrancisco Bay Area! Oakland to be more precise. Absolutely love your UTUBE channel Otis! This gift is deeply appreciated! I feel so lucky to have been able to see Tom Petty and The Heart Breakers five times live, twice with Bob Dylan. Kenny and all your guest interviews shared wonderful insight’s into this singular man/artist and his amazing band. One of the greatest song writers of our times!👍❤️💕🎸🙏✌️👋

Such a great set of intimate videos about Tom, its great to get an idea if who he was though other musicians relationships with him. So inspirational. Thank you

What a great set of interviews! That’s right about everyone loving Tom Petty.

This is gold. Thank you Uncle Larry and Otis. Tom is a national treasure and even greater than that. I have always thought that Tom Petty was guarded because he wanted to protect his relationship with his writing space, emotionally and psychologically. He didn’t want to congest the channel. I can’t think of another American songwriter that wrote more hits… and so honest and eclectic. Mojo is the peak for me

What a great series of interviews, which I believe I’ve seen these from past episodes of yours Otis. Very entertaining though. They edited well. At the end of the day, man I sure miss Tom. What an epic loss for all us music lovers.

Precious History

Thank you for this testimony it really matters.

That was great Otis. Your interview style is perfect for this kind of thing. Thanks so much.

My favorite, Tom Petty song is learning to fly. I love the video to that song as well.

Damn Otis- you knocked it out of the park with this collection!

Tom 🙏🏻🔥💨🪴🤘🏻💯🇺🇸

These stories are more precious than giant diamonds, and the documenting of them is really important. Thanks, Otis.

Hard Promises and Long after dark are my favorite albums as in not a bad song on them. Here comes my girl, wild one forever, saving grace, I could go on and on...

I have a Fender Rhodes rotating speaker. The rotor is plywood. Wish I was the weed sponsor for these vids. Always so interesting. Thanks Otis.

All great, entertaining interviews but no one tells a story like Kenny Vaughn.

American Girl and Mike Campbell rock! So does You Wreck Me, and of course Boys of Summer is legendary. American Pie too is a magic combo tune.

got to see TP play in NYC. the last performance in NY

Thanks Otis, That was Awesome.

Great songwriter & lifelong dedicated musician he was, badass w/exciting stories he was not...😂

A collection of the coolest guys, talking about ‘the coolest guy-

You don't know how it feels.....

Isn't it amazing how The Heartbreakers survived the 90s. Especially after so many disappeared

Bukovac is looking like he’s doing some hard living.

Cool, cool, cool! Great interveiws and thank you so much for this. By all accounts exactly what I thought Petty and the guys are like. Bless you guys = please keep at it.

Thx!!

Im watching this video and Free falling came on the radio

bet they were considering vaughan for the band

Burgers in the parking lot.

Thanks Otis i love the Plimsouls!!!!

What AWESOME conversations!! I could listen to this for days and days!! Thank You!

KLOS in Los Angeles. Around 2003 Jim Ladd s series if interviews. All great. Ladd had dj'd the LA scene since the early 80's? Like since forever. It's 2003 best I recall he interviewed an old friend Tom Petty all the songs that were played. Tom Petty had a truck load of great songs. Has I should say. They will live forever

He was a genius! Pure and simple! As gifted as he was, he was just as humble! I never felt so sad about an artist passing as I did with his passing. Sometimes I can’t listen to a particular song till the end because I get so emotional. What a unique soul he was!

❤

Thank you for this Otis. Much love.

I really enjoy your interviews.

Love this channel 🎉

"God its so painful, something that's so close and still so far Out of reach" - best written line of American rock!

The photographer seems to have a problem with the South. Southern Rock is wonderful, specifically Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers. The rest of these interviews were excellent.

I feel like I have accidentally stumbled across a hidden vault of treasures, which I must jealously guard. What a great start to 2024!!! 🪓 🎸
