This was Tom Petty's last song performed at his very last concert just a week before his death on September 25.

It was his signature song "American Girl".

Must say he was looking a little peaked. Not at his best.

Always one of my favorite rock performers. I was 17 when "Damn The Torpedoes" came out and I was hooked.

Since his death, I've listened quite a bit to the Tom Petty channel on Sirius/XM. Just an amazing body of work.

Agree, didn’t love it all but that’s always the case. His Buried Treasure show was always great. Now I think it should become Stevie Nicks and the Heartbreakers.

Yeah, I’ve thought about the irony of the band’s name too.

Thank you very much for posting that. I hadn’t seen it and was a big fan. It does really seem like a ‘last song.’ Poignant.

He was a great songwriter and performer.

I have been listening to his station on Xm/Sirius for several years. His Buried Tresures show is a family favorite.

American Girl is one of my all time faves. Tom was a musical genius.
