It sounds good here on my headphones, can't find anything to nitpick, well done!
I think the guitars has the right amount of volume to keep the momentum going.

Wow, sounds just like the original.  Very authentic.  I played this while my wife was sitting around and she just started singing along like anything else on the radio.  She had no idea.  Love Tom Petty, and you did real good right here.

Michael -  Thanks for the listen appreciate it.
 
Wookie - Appreciate it, very glad you found it "furry claw tapping stuff"   The drums were actually pretty challenging to make them sound realistic.  That beat can go mechanical very easily.
 
Daryl - Thanks very much.   This was a challenging mix overall so happy to hear the energy came through.  
 
Mississippi - Thanks for the comment.    Will have to look at the guitars, they are pretty loud on the original song as well so I think that is what I was going for.
 
Ida_Mikke - Appreciate the listen and comment
 
Voda La Void - Glad you and the wife liked this track.   Tom Petty passed a couple weeks after we started this.  As a result, we wanted it to be a proper tribute so probably spent way more time on this than other projects.   It was also a deceptively difficult song to mix.   The playing was not too challenging but the mix was for some reason.   Of course the vocals really make the song and Bacco did a very good job on the lead and backing vocals (and guitar playing).
 
Regards

I'm not a Petty fan at all, but I thought you did a great job on this all around.

Hey, Mark and Philip,
 
Dynamite job on this great Petty cover and staying true to the original!
 
Excellent work on recreating the instrumental performances, and the vocals were spectacular.  The mix and production work sounded crisp, energetic and punchy!
 
Another great collab, guys, super stuff, boys!
 
Have a good one!
Bob
