Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Refugee (Live Aid 1985) 

he was in my car,my parties and in my heart.

This performance was excellent, the band were so tight and made full use of their time.

That’s crazy that means u were working on ur car right after that horrible Vegas shooting

It was an awful day. I remember they reported he’d died then retracted it and said he was on life support which made it worse because we all knew he was gone. I had his song Walls cranked on my radio on my drive into work that morning. The words “ part of me you carry, part me is gone” will stay with me forever. I was turned onto his music by my older brother and was 13 the year of Live Aid. Tom was forever my favorite artist. The day he died I remember the countless remembrances he got from performers of all ages and celebrities. He touched so many people with his music and he was such a beautifully humble man and adoring father. We truly lost a legend when he died.

I have to agree TOTALLY ! Well said Philip

These "So and so is the most underrated guitar player" comments are so STALE. How about just accepting that Mike is awesome and doesn't need any comparison. He is great, that is all that needs to be said.

Except everybody (all 7.8 billion of us silly human primates) know how great he is. This is the only time the Heartbreakers ever toured with a horn section. (Southern Accents Tour)

People keep saying it ... and it doesn't stop being true. The comment section isn't an originality contest, it's just a place for people to share their opinions.

He is a copy of Jimmy Page...

proper awesome

I miss the 80's too... And Tom Petty

Their awesome don't care what people say

@Chris Agan nice

👌🎤

Do his sideburns really bother you?

My mom took me to see Tom Petty too, probably in the early-mid 2000’s. I remember even at the time noticing what a spread of type of people were there. There were other people my mom’s age and older of course, the crowd you’d expect for someone like Tom Petty, but more than that there were just people of all ages. Tom Petty’s music is so accessible listening wise, that it didn’t surprise me to see people my age, younger, my moms age, older, and everywhere in between there, but it just really cements how easy it is to listen to and love Tom Petty’s music

@@AcDcDrummerJake1215 Exactly, I’m just devastated we’re never going to see them again. It was bad enough when Howie died.

NO QUESTION THERE !

Isn't everyone though?

Absolutely!

Def but he lives on thru his music and his band the heart breakers

Yeah he is

Sones

So with you Patricia Gonzales. I loved Tom Petty and gorgeous George Harrison ... I'd add Freddie Mercury and George Michael to the list though ... but then I am English.

@@SuzyQ334 And don't forget to mention one of the best looking men and very talented musicians Benjamin Orr.

@@SuzyQ334 How can you forgot David Bowie?

Come on guys Jimi Hendrix, SRV, John Bonham, Duane Allman, EVH, Jim Morrison, Keith Moon, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, Brad Delp and many more

@@smitsonavane6278 yes of course all of them as well❤️, Janis Joplin………the list goes on.

'This song was recorded live in the studio.' Wow!! Just wow!! Such an invaluable "Factoid"... whatever that means!! Does factoid mean some sort of android help with relaying the facts???

The Stewart Copeland way.

@@jamesrobert680 The Doug Clifford way.

As good as Steve Ferrone is (one heck of a good drummer) I find that I prefer Stan. Maybe it’s that time period of TP that I prefer?

He always used that grip! He is one of the best ever, he’s so underrated.

Tom Petty put on a great show.

Hell yeah I saw them 4 times

I saw them twice and agree!

That song pretty much saved my life at one point and agree with your comment with all my heart.

To right very hard working girls on the best day ever for music fans love from Suffolk, Eastern England

There is one called "runnin down a dream", it isn't on here but there is one on youtube called "Tom Petty: Somewhere you feel free - The making of Wild flowers" - I haven't watched that one yet but the runnin down a dream one was great.

Tom petty in the u s a. The who in the u k. Best 2 best performances of live aid 1985 imo.

@@colingeddes2172 100% agree, I'm a massive fan of both and I'm lucky to say that I've seen both live, The Who - many times but unfortunately only seen Tom once and that was in 1990

Yes good info from people. Runnin Down a Dream on Netflix but you can rent on youtube. For fun Storytellers VHS youtube he's hilarious. The making of Wildflowers not so much just me it was posthumous and engineered by Rick Rubin who is a shit in my books and Tom;s older daughter Adria who produces Beyonce and elbowed his widow out of creative control over unpublished material so Dana .... just walked out of the machinery. She was only ever there for love I got a chance to meet her and their dog backstage due to a friend on his last tour unforgettable. Reading: I really liked Conversations with Tom Petty Paul Zollo and the official bio Warren Zane author, which had a huge effect on me this man one of the world's great transcenders his father a monster ... ok let's not get carried away. On-line interviews (I write for a living and that's why I know all this stuff) CBC Q Tom Petty Interview it's cut into 2 parts just after Hypnotic Eye came out a really measured and thoughtful reflection on his part he was a brilliant guy.

@@vc23❤❤😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤😂❤😂😢😢😢😢😢😢

I disagree The Cars were the best in Philly that day

No, Judas Priest for example was better. Tom Petty is great, but here there is not the best performance of his.

​@@tobyalder42 - I agree. Tom's voice sounds strained; tired here & probably is after that show. & I loved the guy; one of my favorites bands.

They were out on the Southern Accents Tour.

My idiotic sister went to AA meetings with Benmont Tench in LA an undisputed keyboard genius. Love? Not so much he caused a lot of trouble in the band, blamed Tom for Howie's death while he was fucking off somewhere himself and fomented ... rubbish during a rough year with Stan Lynch having a hissy fit because Mike Campbell wanted to take his wife on tour and was not into groupies. I have no time for that kind of back biting. Tom wasn't a patriarch or anything but he was the backbone of the band and shouldered the responsibility. There was no reason to undermine him. Get real.

Agreed! Especially on this tune!

God bless you!

Thank Goodness for the Brits who liked the band better than they did in the US. Denny Cordell sent them to tour the UK because they were so popular and finally the US came to their senses. The Boomtown Rats were their opening act on their first tour to the UK.

U2 raised my arm hair when he got that crowd reaction going down to get that girl free of the crush of the crowd.

Had no ideal. Thanks!! Who knew Tom petty before Queen. Blows my mind!

Black Sabbath had a great set too- that's a real reunion

Bryan ferry was wicked too.. jealous guy and those guitar solo's then that whistling.. unreal!!

We sure do
