CommentsRecorded at: Ocean Way, Hollywood, CA. Mixed at: Johnny Yuma Recordings, Burbank, CA "Oh right, real fast," Stan says when asked about this outtake from the last days. "We were doing that as an encore song on the last tour I did with them. That's a road song." "That was one of four songs I wrote at a rehearsal just before we went on tour," Petty says."Then we played all four on that tour. There was 'Driving Down to Georgia,' 'Lost Without You,' 'You Get Me High' and 'Come on Down to My House.'" "I was just trying to do something a little wilder than we'd been doing," Tom explains. "I'd just heard Nirvana and was taken over by that. I thought, 'Damn, we've really got to catch up to this shit! It just floored me, I thought it was the first significant thing I'd heard in a decade and it really did straighten out a lot of us older guys. Really threatened us, kicked us in the ass. I thought, 'Yeah, let's just try letting it go and see what happens.'" After Stan left the band, he was almost replaced by Nirvana's Dave Grohl. Grohl did one TV show with the Heartbreakers, but he already had a deal with his own band, the Foo Fighters. "He came very close to joining the band," Tom says, "and we would have been glad to have him. I think he made the decision he had to make; when you have a chance for your own career, you should certainly follow that. He can play with us anytime."
