Heavy heavy heart...Just kept praying "not Tom-not yet "got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
I want to go but I want to go with you.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. -MT
I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.0 -

Very very sad to hear this news. I had wanted to go see Tom on this recent tour, but wasn't able to go. I remember thinking I would see him next time he comes around. May he rest in peace, and may his music live on forever!

Man this one hit me harder than I thought it would. Rest In peace, Tom. Really wish I could have gone to a show this last tour, but thankful to see him live a long time ago.
On another note, has anyone seen or have 400 Days, the documentary on Wildflowers that I believe is only in the super deluxe live anthology box set? Just wondering how it is, have always wanted to see it, but didn't get the huge deluxe set. Hopefully they'll release it individually someday. Wildflowers has always been one of my favorite albums of his, and I've been playing it nonstop the last couple days.No time to be void or save up on life, you gotta spend it all.0 -
I can't help but think about how he had to postpone the second Greek Theater Berkeley show in August because of laryngitis. Later, he reported that it wasn't just laryngitis, it was bronchitis. I remember thinking that bronchitis is nothing to mess with and that he should take as much time as he needed to get better. But he was back on stage just five days later. I don't want to speculate, but I can't help but think that it could have been a contributing factor.

The thing that excited me though, is that news that came out a year or two ago. That Wildflowers was originally recorded as a double album, but got released as a single album. A few songs got retooled and made it onto the she's the one soundtrack, but there's basically a whole album from my favourite era of tom petty and no ones heard it.
News articles kept indicating it was going to get released and be called "all the rest". In fact digitally release a single from it a while ago, but no release date has ever appeared :(

Totally crushed by this news. Heard of it the day it happened. Just saw him in Seattle not knowing that would be the last time.

I've been waiting ages on this and scour sources every couple of months to always be disappointed.

I'm still having trouble digesting this news even though we are 3 days past the fact. It just doesn't seem fair. 66 years is not long enough for this special soul. For those of us 40 years and older it seems to be even harder to accept. I saw him 9 times over the last 22 years, including the greatest highlight: the co-headlining gig in July of 2006 at the Pepsi Center in Denver with our beloved Pearl Jam. The duet that night EV did on The Waiting, was simply magical. TPATH was always a great evening out at a show. You never had to worry if he was going to play a hit that maybe you loved; he always did. And it was always the largest sing-a-long when those hits came on. It was great. I know most of us love the PJ style where each night is different setlist. And I do too. But TPATH didn't really do that anymore. But damn I didn't care. Play the hits! Give me my moneys worth and send me home happy! That was a Petty show. And fuck, I will miss those nights. Thank you Tom. Thank you for that amazing live arena rock you delivered 9 times to me. You will be missed.Post edited by The Camaros Hood onAustin, TX - 9/16/95 ~ Charleston, SC - 10/5/96 ~ Dallas, TX - 7/5/98 ~ San Antonio, TX - 4/5/03 ~ Denver, CO - 7/2/06 ~ EV - LA #2 - 4/13/08 ~ Austin, TX - 10/4/09 ~ Los Angeles, CA #1 - 11/23/13 ~ Los Angeles, CA #2 - 11/24/13 ~ Seattle, WA - 12/6/13 ~ NYC #1 - 5/1/16 ~ Boston, MA #1 - 8/5/16 ~ Boston, MA #2 - 8/7/16 ~ Boston, MA #1 - 9/2/18 ~ Boston, MA #2 - 9/4/18 ~ Louisville, KY - 9/17/22 ~ Ft.

Take solace in the fact that you saw him live so many times. I saw him for the first and last time in 2013 as I finally woke up and realized that he was getting older and may stop touring soon and could not bare the fact of not seeing him at least once. I took my 20 year old daughter and she told me the other day it was one of her favorite concerts ever. Just Tom Petty inspiring another generation. RIP!0 -

Life is so precious - and incredibly fragile. You just never know when it's someone's time to go.
Thank you, Tom, for leaving for us such a legacy of beautiful songs. May they spin forever. They will on my turntable.0 -

^ that's so cool. I swear that every tribute and cover I've seen this week dedicated to Tom has given me chills. Even acts that I hope to never hear another note from. Great tributes all around.0
