Tom Petty's most famous performance of Breakdown.

Breakdown (Live At The Wiltern/1985).
Tom Petty once said in an interview, that he just had a brain fart when he went up to sing and realized he had forgotten the words to his own song. He paused and gestured towards the audience as if to ask them to wait a moment. When they simply took up and started singing where he couldn't remember. Hence his famous, "gonna put me outta job". But that gave him enough time for his brain to reset and remember the lyrics.
