Just some boys from Florida, doing what they do! Mike Campbell, who is responsible for one of the hottest guitar licks ever recorded!

Breakdown my friends! Excellent! I Love my Tom Petty!!!

What a a genius, now that was a loss. One of the most prolific rock singer song writers ever. RIP Tom.

Gone but never never forgotten... Rest In Peace, Tom Petty,❤

Goddamn this is gold absolutely timeless and such swag. Fuck I can't believe he is gone

This song ages like a fine wine. Beautiful.

Break-down is all right!! Gosh, I Love you so much, forever more!!

The best version of "Breakdown" , I have ever heard. Tom Petty is convincingly sexy in his performance of the song, but it's Mike Campbell's guitar that makes it a home run!

That may be true but play it without the real Tom Petty and its crap .. not many can sing this song like the real Tom but I've heard many guitar players do it same if not better than mike .. so its really all about the vocals Tom Petty had a special quality and that is the key to this tune.

the 1985 live recording still my fav cause he goes off on that cocaine rant, but this is a close second.

I have been to many live shows in my life, Santana, Elvin Bishop, Chicago, The Doobie Brothers, The Eagles, Concerts on the Green, Peter Frampton, Earth Wind and Fire, Tower of Power, James Brown, Billy Joel, Elton John, and many more, But The Greatest Live Concert I ever attended was in Sept 1982, I went to see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium. They have a lot of popular songs you'll hear on the radio, however their popular songs do not do this band justice. LIVE, they are the Purest, Get Down, Rock and Roll Band I have ever heard, their musicianship is among the best in the world, their Showmanship, and the Love of what they do come across and they interacted with the audience who gave them the Endurance to Go On. They did 5 Encores and were Dripping with Sweat when they finally left the stage Three and a Half Hours after they took the stage to an audience who was still Screaming For More, but they were just simply too exhausted to go on. Rest in Music Tom Petty.

Wow! I never heard this version of this song.with hit the road jack.. Love it any way he does it.

Stan Lynch is an outstanding drummer.

We will miss Tom deeply, He was one of the very best & the Heart Breakers were perfect behind him. Tom You will always be remembered in my house

He look so cute with that bandana lol. Great performance

Tom Petty is no doubt one of the rock legends of America; stayed close to his roots, his heart and always fair and honest

EXCELLENT! Thank you! *SO VERY MUCH!* for Sharing!!!

Amazing performance by Tom, and love that guitar...

I seen them 6 times and it was a better version of this song every time it saddens me to know I'll never see nor hear them again live.

T.P. looked beautiful and dangerous in this song.

R.I.P. brother Tom. You were the sound track to our lives.

RIP Tom. As all great music, yours will live on forever.....

We did a personal memory lane for Tom Petty.. started on sunset blvd at the 2 motels that he stayed at waiting to sign his record deal... Went into malibu to see his house across from garphs restaurant And detoured to his lake house.. the lakehouse seemed to be designed by him It said TOM PETTYs HOME. Both Tom and his wife were advocates for the homeless!!!!!!

Great version!, mix up with hit the road, awesome!

Tom was awesome. Saw him 3 times in Atl. got better everytime.

Can't Touch This..... Damn, I miss going to see him while on Dead Tour throughout the mid - late 80's ... Good Time's .... R.I.P. Tom... much love⚘️⚘️⚘️

Great version... Petty rulez!

fav tom petty song and this performance is perfection

Oh I really like this performance. I like breakdown slower, and with some punch. The longer the better.

Can't go too long without hearing this version love it! R.I.P to the goat! Glad I got to seem him three times in Colorado

That does have to be one of the sexiest recordings ever made.

I watched the Foo Fighters live version and now this one. The Foo Fighters did a very good job, but their main problem is that they don't have Tom Petty. This is the TP I fell in love with way back in the 70s. He is great!

Insatiable when it comes listening, to him!

Tom Petty had such phenomenal stage presence. All those different facial expressions.

Just watched 10 times in a row

Greatest sound ever going to miss his music

Tom Petty the coolest sexiest dude that ever walked on to the stage .. its all about the voice.. The first time I was introduced to Tom Petty was in 1977 and my friend saw my brothers album and she was the coolest rocker chick I knew at the time.. me only 18. She held up the album with so much excitement it was amazing! She said, This is the coolest dude omg and rolls her eyes and swoons and hugs the album and with both hands and arms holds the album up the sky and worships it .. and says "This is the coolest sexiest dude ever you gotta hear this one!!! OMG!!! He's the only dude that can GRUNT and make it sound good." Its all about the GRUNT .. the Tom Petty Grunt .. She said they ain't another dude that can grunt like this and make it sound sexy. Sounds like crap if anyone else did that!!!!!" and then I just fell in love with him that day! And even jumped of the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium in 78 to see him .. it was sold out and the only way in!!!!!!!!!!! So awesome!!! I wish there was man alive that could grunt the Tom Petty Grunt and not sound like crap!!! lol Tom will always be missed and loved. No one can do it better .. better than all the rest!!!!!!!!!!!!!
