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
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...
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.
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..
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.
we what boogie bout midnight....all night long......yes, this is some of the oldest blues known to mankind...its THE Heartbreakers.....of Tommy Pettys'.....love Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench....kudos, Gentlemen and thank YOU"S
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.
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.
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
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.💔❤️
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 RU-vid... It somehow keeps Tom alive in our hearts and minds.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🎶 🙏 ❤
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
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
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.
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!
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!
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.❤
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.
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.
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.
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.
What a great loss, losing Tom Petty! I still cry thinkin what a legend he was and so so glad I got to see him before he passed. I'll forever be a fan!!! 💜
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.
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.
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!♥️🇺🇸✌️
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.🇺🇸🥰✌️
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
😭 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 -
Ben Mont Tench you nailed it your way and your love is in each word remember your friend gone in body alive in hearts all over singing the way your singing today.
