Great rock song.
Zeppelin feel all over

What's the bass...?

Good one. I liked it enough to download it and listen to previews of the rest of the album, which doesn't sound nearly as promising.

Not bad but ain't no Zep.

I saw Zep 3 years in a row--my sophomore, junior & senior years in high school.
They played 3 hour shows the first 2 shows & 3 & a half hours the 3rd show!!!

Saw Petty once & he played 1 hour & 10 minutes.

Shows the difference in the bands. Zep LOVED to play & the Heartbreakers broke my heart. lol

nice shot of the bass @ 1:10

Can't TP come up with his own stuff?  Really lame lyric.  I saw Zep on their first tour, they closed the Atlanta Pop Festival in '69, Good thing, nobody could have followed them.  Also saw Page playing in 3 piece Yardbirds (Dreja on bass) in '67  IIRC, quite a bit more exciting than Mike Campbell .  It should be embarrassing for a band that's been as successful and enduring as TP&HB to do such a lame 'tribute' if that's what it is. Time to pack up the plantation.

Still the worst band I ever saw live, sloppy, beyond boring.

Glad I only wasted $5.00 on them.
Good in the studio, live - not so much

2nd Knebworth show in '79 was my one and only time - most vivid memory was getting my nose broken when it made contact with a flying beer can - I enjoyed the show but they were better in the studio imho

Might be a DiPinto Belvedere, but the headstock looks different.

[Hornisse]

I believe it is a Duesenberg bass.

Their Starplayer bass gives me G.A.S.

I like the song. That's all that matters for me.

It sounds like Zep and is probably meant to though that type of bloated 12-bar stuff leaves me cold, never having really liked Zep and their use of chords and harmonies that tend to be neither here nor there as regards minor or major key (I know, that is part of their charm, I do respect their contribution to rock music, it just doesn't sound "right" to me though).

This is actually one of the worst songs on the new Petty album. It's overall a very guitarish album (even back in the eighties Tom phantasized about doing "an all-out hard rock album", this is not quite it, but it goes in that direction). And Led Zep isn't the only band that gets a nod, so does Wishbone Ash, twin harmony guitars and all, someone must have given Tom and Mike Campbell a copy of Argus:

I agree.
