Tom had no fancy gimmicks, no ego trips, no extravagant stage shows, and that's what I love about him. Just a hell of a nice, cool, funny, laid back guy, who wrote the best songs, and enjoyed what he did. I am so greatful I was alive at the same time as this wonderful soul and got to enjoy his masterpieces. He knew what he wanted in life, went for it and achieved it

I love when he says how shy he is, how he wants to hear hits when he goes to concerts so yeah, he’ll play hits for the audience . This is just such a low key natural conversation, it’s a far better interview than it seems at first. He says so much in that easy way of his. How can you not just love him?

I love his smile even before he got his teeth straightened and whitened. He just looks so cute and angelic in this interview.

Tom Petty the coolest dude ever!

Well, this here is a gold nugget.

I remember buying this album at the record store as a teenager. The cashier was impressed with my purchase:)

Nice to see Tom's real teeth. Everyone gets stuff fixed. Miss this guy.

Such a fun interview-her questions were well thought out and didn't feel so scripted, and he was so laid back and engaged with her. He was one of the coolest mofos ever, such a cool rock star. He was a wonderful lyricist and songwriter, and his death hit me hard. We shared a birthday.

He was just darling. Has a sadness in him, yet he makes me feel so happy.

Love when he says, "I think I enjoyed the show as much as the audience.." so true!

Tom was a superstar and a sweetheart, a very special mix, unique. 🎩✨💕

This man is so talented...too bad he's gone 😢

Glad I got to live at the same time as this guy. Loved his music probably since the first time I knew what music was...

Really miss his songwriting abilities. One of a very few with his talent.

I miss this man so much it hurts! I'm so grateful he touched our lives with his incredible gifts of music and even just such an interesting presence and voice. RIP Tom Petty 💙

"there's a lot of players but not a lot of songs." Only the King of Cool could say something so cool.

Wrote songs from life . Great song writer never sold out on his music 🎶. He will live on thru his songs. We lost so many great rock and roll musicians now. He is missed but not forgotten. So lucky 💓 I got to be around his music 🎶.

Genius. Simple genius.

Great interview! Beautiful Tom. So humble, and really a common man with extraordinary talents and soul.

Da bink da bunk, da bink da bunk....LOL Tom, was so relaxed during this interview. Have listened to this at least a half dozen times and it never fails to make me smile.

Petty is real. He talks about things everyone knows but feel they are too cool to discuss, yet it’s that very thing that makes Tom cool 😎

I honestly love you buddy. You're still alive to me.

fabulous man inside and out.

Never saw this before. Good interviewer, she knows her stuff.

Thanks for posting this, Allyn. I never saw this one before. Lisa Robinson was a legendary rock journalist back in the day. She really brought Tom out of his shy, self-conscious self, in the best way. Tommy, you may be gone from this realm, but certainly never forgotten. My love. ❤️💘💞💔💖🎸🎼

My God, the treasure trove that must be the archive of music he left behind that never saw the light of day. Fortunately this means that we will still have years of music to be released.

great interview. thanks. TP never changed. always cared about the music and craft.

My favorite era of Tom's career and life, he was cool AF especially in the early-mid 80s and everything about Southern Accents just fascinates me. It really was one of their experimental albums and my first memory of Tom's music was being spooked by the "Don't Come Around Here" video on VH1!

Great talent wonderful artist . We love and miss you Tom❤💔

TOM PETTY ALWAYS LOVED NEVER FORGOTTEN FOREVER MISSED ALWAYS LOVED FOREVER MISSED NEVER FORGOTTEN

beautiful soul

Him wrapped in the Confederate flag would be cancel worthy now. I’m from not far from where Tom grew up and there was no racism in his thoughts or anyone’s. That was being southern then. Times change fast.

Music has a huge Void with this Man gone......

This is just so weirdly wonderful. I love it. Thank you thank you.

This is the genius! So great watch this beautiful musician talk music. Yes, you are likable Tom and humble with so much growing ahead. The camera guy is having is having a blast with close ups! I thank you for that!! Thanks Allyn for your post. :)

He was super laid back in this interview, like talking in your living room. 'cept for all those cigarettes.

Such a beautiful soul...... Love you Tom Petty

The Songs...yeah Tom had the Songs...😎

Huge thumbs up - thank you!

God ! Is so beautiful here Tom.... I love him!Always!(Honey Bee):)😍😍😍🍯🐝

A great interview getting into the 'mind' of Tom. The right questions produce great interviews, and this is done well this time!

Wow! What a great interview. Tom so relaxed and forthcoming. So interesting, and he looks and sounds so well and together. A magical find, Allyn, slam dunk into my favourites! Southern Accents is such a brilliant album too. Thank you sooo much xx

So glad you're back!!! Thanks for posting!

@Allyn Kessler Your page is absolutely outstanding. The material you have on here is a treasure trove of solid gold. Tom Petty is one of the greatest musicians of all time. I could watch his interviews all day every day.

Fantastic interview!! I'm sure I watched it when it originally aired, but haven't seen it since. OMG we need to find that live album that he spoke about being "mixed and sitting on the shelf ready to go with material from 1977-83". I need to hear that!!!!!!!

My theory is he wrote You Got Lucky about Mike that’s why they didn’t play it for so long. Mike wrote Boys of Summer and tried to give it to The Heartbreakers and Tom didn’t feel it so Jimmy Iovine recommended Don Henley and it was the biggest hit of his solo career. There was a lot of pressure to follow up Torpedoes and there definitely was some jealousy involved. Mike will never admit but I’ve read enough to have a strong argument. The fact is they both got lucky and we the world got lucky. Such a great band.

Great interview. A huge thanks Allyn. You just made my day!

great interview. thanks for posting this.

Someone needs to dig into that live album he's talkin' about & release it

We had an independent TV station (remember those?) that aired Night Flight. It was such a cool show. I was just a little to young to get much of the content. I wish it had stayed on the air in my later teen years. I remember the great music clips. Tom is (as always) the coolest.

Night Flight that goes way back cool show great interview.

Miss you Mr Petty

This is great interview, good questions and answers. It's quite long, too. I'm wondering what point in his recovery he's at in this video. He's very subdued but still so interesting and engaged with the conversation. Going through the playlist is also fascinating, to see this wonderful man at different points in his life and to see what parts of his personality change with time and circumstance and which are constant.

Thank you for posting

Love u tom always will

I saw Tom's second to last show... I still can't believe he's gone.

Mary's New Car is a killer song.

The doctor that gave this man fentanyl for a hip problem should be in a prison cell. He robbed us of even more amazing music and God knows what great songs. Fentanyl should be for palliative care only. God bless you, Tom. We miss you.

Southern Gentleman crossed with LA Cool.

Wonderful! Let’s hear it for them muttonchops.... 💖

Allyn, where are all your great videos? Come back.

Love you....

Fabulous, glad you’re back up and running? I think! He looks like he’s been hanging around Dave Stewart a bit too long💨🎸

Ya Tom Petty got that right to if I'd gone sean Tom Petty-HB I want to hear all my best FAVS.songs got many to, be listning-playing Tom Petty HB songs FOREVER.............

Tom used to have a few tokes before interviews like these....

And I absolutely adored the Eurythmics ad well I still do. I mean everybody loves Annie Lenox. Whew...

😍

SOUTHERN ACCENTS (Cheer!)

I'd love to know him. I wonder if he has other interests besides music.

🎩💜🎸

Tommy at 1:32 LOL

What happened to all your content ??

Dave Stewart

Where’s the live album he said he completed?

the dude was stoned to the bone during this interview. Those glasses arent dark enuff to hide his eyes.
