It’s Really Been A Year

Today 10/2/2018 marks the one-year anniversary of the death of Florida's greatest rock export, Tom Petty. It's not a date for celebration, per se, but it is a time to look back — especially through a new posthumous video.

Petty's family and label has unveiled a new video for Gainesville, a song unreleased until last week's box set An American Treasure, featuring recordings from throughout his more than 40-year career.

The video features vintage footage of Petty and the Heartbreakers and the town of Gainesville, with shots of local landmarks like Lillian's Music Store, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and a mural that went up after Petty's death. If you look close enough, you'll even see Petty wearing an orange University of Florida T-shirt.
