From Wikipedia: "Breakdown" was a song written and recorded for the band's debut album. Initially, the song had lead guitarist Mike Campbell with a distinct guitar lick being played only near the end of the song. While playing it back one night, Tom Petty and Dwight Twilley, a bandmate of Phil Seymour, were in the studio, and Twilley enjoyed it. He suggested that the lick should be used throughout the song, and Petty obliged. At 2 AM, he gathered the Heartbreakers to join him in re-recording the song.

We're done here, band. Good job. I hope you agree.
Just my lead playing left. Working on getting it smooth. The vocals were a bit out of my range, but I couldn't find anyone else.
Great drumming on a tricky beat, Grant. Thanks.
Added backing vocals for review.. Thanks for the invite..
I had a small breakdown too! But here's some Fender Rhodes electric piano. Hope it's okay.
