I hadn't either but the record store where I pull some shifts had If I Could See Dallas sitting in the used bin.
Have listened to it a bunch. Nice to rediscover this stuff!
Very cool music with a very unique approach to recording and creating their sound. Inspiring, even.

I love this song, and I love seeing this guy get blown away by the creator dropping in to perform it with him:

The sooner we put those assholes in the grave&piss on the dirt above it, the better off we'll be

Absolute love at first sight for me with this song! Fell in love with it back when it came out and, if anything, I feel even more strongly about it now. Easily one of my very favorite Petty songs, and that's saying something. After Full Moon Fever, I feel that his "hits," as great of songs as they are, feel to me as if they were made from a template in which he puts in specific details and then the "Tom Petty hit making machine" makes the song. This song is refreshingly not of the template, IMHO, and it's just a priceless gem. Seems that with the soundtrack to She's the One he/they didn't feel the pressure of needing hits (especially coming off the tidal wave of success that had just come before with Wildflowers) so they just let it ride and did what they wanted to do (as seen by the cover of Changed the Locks and Asshole (Beck)).

I'm a total sucker for the overall George Harrison/Byrds/ELO feel of the song, but what really pushes this into another completely different level for meis the Lindsey Buckingham backing vocals. I totally love sweet sounding backing harmonies and this song has some of my very favorite backing vocals ever. To me Lindsey is what takes an already great song and makes it something for the ages. The little rise in his voice at around the 4:29 mark in the video is heavenly!



Below is a live performance on Letterman. I include it to show just how different the song is without my beloved backing vocals from Lindsey. I also included it because of the short but oh-so fucking sweet Mike Campbell solo





And for the record, if there was a draft for starting my perfect rock band, Benmont Tench will be picked 1000 out of 1000 times, and Mike Campbell wouldn't be far behind.

Not disagreeing with anything you said......But, let's be careful not to act like Tom's hits aren't great songs.

Chet Atkins, Buddy Killen and a few of those Nashville folks in the 1960's-1980's get a little for shit for having a formula. Their formula might have taken country music in a different direction but most of the songs they influenced or worked on are great.

No need to apologize, it's all good. I should have been more clear: when I refer to Petty having a formula/template, I mean that at times I have thought it's like he has a Mad Lib template in which he only has to put in certain words/names/places and then voila, the computer pops out a standard Tom Petty hit (a la Don't Come Around Here No More, Mary Jane's Last Dance, et al) :lol:

Here's another Petty deep cut that I absolutely love! In a perfect world this one would be a hit.



Such a beautiful song. These lyrics kill me:

I keep wakin' up all by myself
With a bluejay in my brain
Flappin' his wings, makin' me sing
It was just about to rain


and then also:

Ridin' with my mamma
To Glen Springs Pool
The water was cold
My lips were blue
There was rock and roll
Across the dial
When I think of her
It makes me smile
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing

Walls is a Top 5 Petty song for me. I definitely prefer the No. 2 version to the Circus version.
