Yeah I guess he gave it to him when they decided it didn't make the cut for Wildflowers.... which is wild because the Tom Petty version sounds like it would have easily been a top 10 hit in 1994.

That dude was so fucking talented.

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

Would have been 70 today.

 

[tbone_ 14,132]

That fact that there is even a discussion about what are his top 100 songs is insane.

Top. 100. Songs. Very short list of artist you could have that discussion about.

Straight genius.

my copy arrived in the mail yesterday. it's so fucking awesome i don't even give a shit that I paid like $15 for shipping thinking i would get it early when, in fact, i could have gone to the record store earlier this week and bought it for $15 less. 

i think it sounds great. my favorite TP album. I can't even imagine if he would have ended up putting my favorite TP song Walls (No 3, of course) on the record, as I understand he was writing that track during the wildflower sessions. Apparently there is a home recorded version of it on the 7-LP set. I gotta find a way to listen to that.

^^^^

That's an incredible list of bands/artists... but I have to admit... seeing ADAM SANDLER on the top line has me a little confused, lol.

Alphabetical 

[stc 1,462]

it's available on twitch if you missed it. watched it yesterday while doing other stuff...the dhani harrison cover was my favorite, chris stapleton was pretty good too. margo price took a big shit on crawling back to you. not familiar with her work, but that shit was terrible. 

 

spoon cover of breakdown was very solid too.

WHO THA FUCK is margo price and why was she allowed to desecrate such a  great song?  

[4th&Five 41,565]

id always liked TP well enough, but didn't become a super-fan until I saw in live for the 1st time in Minneapolis. He played well over 2 hours and I knew every word to every song and came up with about another dozen he didn't even play on the way home. I'd never realized how many great songs he had till that night. I remember he played an acoustic, solo version of "I wont back down" on  J200 that sent chills down my back.
FF, I joined the Highway Companions club a few years ago for pre-sale access. That got me in to see Mudcrutch at the Fillmore a little over a year before his passing. He played bass with his thumb. I had never heard a bass sound that big. The whole room resonated with it like you were inside the speaker cabinet or something. I spoke to a friend who works concessions at the venue and he said TP had spent the entire afternoon dialing in the bass to the room. Mike Campbell played a Telecaster with a B-Bender the entire show. Incredible.
A year later or so Im going through a  divorce and my Dad is sick. From the fan club I had 6th row seats at The Greek in Berkeley on Aug 22. I was in Texas with my Dad when he passed on Aug 18, but was back in time for the show. Both Mike and Tom were bringing out out different guitars every song, that was a treat. Tom was kinda mumbling in between songs and my friend wondered if he was a little drunk or something, but I said I though he was just slowly turning into Bob Dylan. Now i think it was the opiates he was taking to get through the tour with a broken hip. Im glad i bought the T-Shirt from that night! From there he lost is voice and they had to postpone the following 2 nights that we scheduled there; the last of which was re-scheduled to a date when my daughter was in town. I offered to get tickets and take her, but ultimately we decided not to go. I regret that. She'll never get to see him now. 
A few weeks later i saw on the internet that he was being rushed to the hospital as soon as it broke and kept hitting refresh and texting with friends about until they announced his death. That was on my ex wife's birthday. 
For me, TP's passing sits right there in the middle of that fucked up period in my life where I lost my Dad and my marriage. Soon after, i got this tattoo over my heart that kinda represents all three. I also have the numbered print poster from that last show and a photo of the band I'd received from the FC for tour displayed as you leave my place. Hell, even the Moroccan lamp hanging in my stairwell was inspired by the set design way back at that Minneapolis show.

What a cool story. For a lot of reasons. When I listen to TP a lot of the songs seem to be born from life’s experiences, the pains that we endure and the growth that (hopefully) comes from those pains. I could totally imagine TP putting your story to song....and what a beautiful one it would be. 
I, too, am sorry for your losses. I hope you, your daughter and her mom are all healthy, and getting along these days.

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

Bump.   Anyone seen any news on availability of the documentary?   I see nothing via the webs. 

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

I don't know how accurate the site is but says the stream release date is 8-21.

[Wally Pryor 5,261]

New release date from the same site now says 9-22.

[stc 1,462]

saw the documentary in the theater last night...maybe 10 people in there. was a pretty good behind the scenes look at the making of the album. it didn't really get into technical details, more of an overview of all the songs and a little about how they came to be...and the events in his life that were fueling them.

Top 5 Band for me and my biggest regret is not ever seeing them live.

You chose poorly. 

I saw him once, roughly November 1991, and the show was absolutely amazing. I’ve mentioned it before, but Tom & Friends could put on a motherfuckin’ show!
