Over the last year, the Tom Petty Estate has been opening their vault and sharing previously unreleased music and never-before-seen, newly remastered film from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ prolific 1982 to ’83 era. Their latest reveal is a newly restored video of Petty and the Heartbreakers performing The Troggs’ classic “Wild Thing“ at the Los Angeles-based studio The Record Plant in 1982.
“Wild Thing“ is the fourth video released from The Record Plant series, following “Keeping Me Alive,” “Finding Out” and “Stories We Could Tell.” The performance footage, directed by Justin Kreutzmann, was originally recorded for the French TV program, “Houba Houba.” The video additionally features never-before-seen bonus footage originally captured by Cameron Crowe for his 1983 film, Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party. The film has been restored and released for the first time in more than 40 years and is now streaming on Paramount+.
