2010-2011 CHAMPS!!!
Some bands can't pull off a live show. Petty was always excellent.
I saw the Heartbreakers so many times. When they were with Bob Dylan it was so good I went to both shows (Great Woods). Dylan is moody and it can affect his performance but he looked like he was really enjoying himself with Tom and the boys.
I agree - I’ve seen many shows where the bands are going through the motions. Petty’s concerts were always an event.
I started listening to Petty in ‘89 when Full Moon Fever came out so I missed the Dylan/Heartbreakers tours which (correct me if I’m wrong) took place 87-88? I have a great print of Dylan and Petty in my basement.
Funny, when I started listening to Petty I was in the midst of a metal phase (Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Helloween, Anthrax, etc.) but something about his music drew me in. I’ve always preferred heavier music, but Petty was great.
