Title: Tom Petty .... ( Stones Content -- Massive ) Post by Joey on Jul 21st, 2008 at 8:36am
... Oh MY GOD !!!!!!!
Good Morning me Stoneslings .............. What Can I Friggin Say ?! BEST TOM PETTY YET !!! : | | V " The Olympic pool is gone and the swimmers are Beijing-bound, but a pair of classic rockers made their own splash Sunday at the Qwest Center Omaha. Before a sold-out crowd of 15,000-plus fans, headlining act Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and opener Steve Winwood took a rambunctious audience on a musical trip through four decades of great rock 'n' roll. Winwood, 60, opened the concert with an hourlong set that featured tunes from his new "Nine Lives" album, along with classic hits from his days with Traffic, Blind Faith and the Spencer Davis Group, and his 1980s solo career. Among the tunes the British singer/keyboardist/guitarist performed with his four-man band were Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home," the Traffic hit "Dear Mr. Fantasy," the '80s smash "Higher Love," and the exuberant Spencer Davis Group classic, "Gimme Some Lovin'." Like Winwood, the 57-year-old Petty has one of rock music's most distinct voices. During Petty's two-hour set, the singer-guitarist displayed his signature nasally drawl, solid songwriting, rock-star magnetism and just plain coolness. Though he is one of rock's elder statesmen, the lanky, bearded performer is far from slowing down and certainly no dinosaur. Joining him was his longtime band, the Heartbreakers, which features original members Mike Campbell (lead guitar), Benmont Tench (keyboards) and Ron Blair (bass). Drummer Steve Ferrone and guitarist Scott Thurston round out the band. Kicking off with "You Wreck Me," the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers delivered a generous collection of their greatest hits and seldom-played tunes. The concert showcased the multiple sides of Petty's music. There were rock anthems ("Refugee," "American Girl"); heart-tugging ballads ("Face in the Crowd") and songs of self-resilience ("I Won't Back Down," "Even the Losers"). The crowd, which spanned the generations, stayed on its feet and clapped, danced and sang along to practically every word for two hours straight. At times, the crowd's singing was nearly as loud as the band. Crowd favorites included some of Petty's biggest hits: "Mary Jane's Last Dance," "Free Fallin'," "Breakdown" and "Don't Come Around Here No More." Some of the best moments of the show came with renditions of "Listen to Her Heart," "Even the Losers," and an inspiring, acoustic version of "Learning to Fly." Petty didn't ignore his days with supergroup the Traveling Wilburys, which he founded in 1988 along with George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan. He played the Wilburys' rousing hit, "End of the Line." Here's hoping that Petty and his Heartbreakers are a long way from reaching the end of the line.

Thanks Magoo, for the well thought out cut and paste.
I'm seeing Petty on Wednesday night. Huge fan of the man, but somehow have never seen him in all my years. Gone Gator. Should be cool. |

Petty's best song is the obscure Dogs on the Run from Southern Accents. Truly love that song - kind of captures everything that is great about Tom Petty music. I just thought I'd point that out. I mean why the hell not?
Petty also wrote Leave Virginia Alone which I don't think he ever released, but it was performed/covered by Stewart. Great tune. |

I am heartsick over not catching Tom this time out. He played the Mile High Music Fest here on Saturday but we opted to see Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi's Soul Stew Revival rather than battle the crowds, intense unforgiving heat and 5 stages of bands many of whom I did not know of. I hate those damn music festivals now that I'm an old gal (and in physical pain). But I know Petty tore it up. :keithpunky

I saw Tom Petty a couple of years ago and thought that the show was rather boring. That was before I really got into his music though, so I'd probably feel different if I saw him today. The Super Bowl show bored me too, actually.

No comeback...Your knowledge of music always impresses me, as well as your comebacks. In reply to the last few posts. has there been a Super Bowl Halftime show that floored anybody? (IMHO Prince came the closest, probably because I did not expect much). That is why I have mixed feelings about Bruce playing the Super Bowl. Yeah, it would be great to see him there, but Bruce is spontaneous, and to have his hands tied would take a lot away from the performance. But then again it would sure beat Justin Timbersnake. |

Title: Re: Tom Petty Post by left shoe shuffle on Jul 21st, 2008 at 7:14pm I thought the Stones were good. Liked the stripped down band, and the tongue stage was sublime. Prince, otoh, just brang it. Bruce at the Super Bowl? If it means more shows in the winter, I'm all in... ;D |

Saw the Heartbreakers, nothing especially memorable. Didn't like the set list much at all and show seemed kind of short. Its obvious that they are an excellent band, but seemed like they were going through the motions. Just an impression.
I remain, however, and forever, a Tom Petty fan. |

I had lousy seats. Shades of Rosa Parks. Maybe that was the problem. I didn't like the set list. Last Dance with Mary Jane is the worst song they ever did and Running Down a Dream is stupid too. Some more filler in there like Face in the Crowd and it gets down to around 10-11 songs I liked, and only 2-3 of my Petty favs (Losers, Learning to Fly, couple others maybe). |

The Petty show at the new Alpharetta Arena was so hot it blew out all the walls and it is now an amphitheater. They played songs with Windwood, a couple mudcrutch songs with his bro who lives in the ATL, some Wilburys, and the crowd stood and rocked out for nearly three hours. I had sweet fan club seats for under $100 up front as well. Petty is very fan friendly!
Best show I have seen in many years!!! |
