Anyone ever see that Old Grey Whistle Test concert on VH1 Classic?  I've watched it three times and still can't get enough.  Looks to be from the early-mid 70s.  The Faces' one (Sounds for Saturday) is also unreal.  Wish they'ld release them.

No supporting act for NY or Philly ~ I would of liked to see Crosby Stills and Nash. Oh well I already have 2 shows lined up for July so maybe I'll catch the August gig in NJ, so how much are the tickets are going for?

I didnt buy a ticket because it was almost $200 for a single. If I decide to go, I'll wait till the last minute for a ticket drop or just show up and buy from a fan at the gate. I'm only paying $100 or less these days, except for a rare occasion MUST see! Maybe if Petty doesnt sell out they will discount the prices, that happened last summer.

TP & The Heartbreakers will be on "Saturday Night Live" next week.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
by Gary Graff

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers have always been a rock'n'roll band. But "Mojo," a mostly blues-rock opus clocking in at nearly 65 minutes, is for those who've been waiting for the long-lived group to let the throttle out all the way. Petty and lead guitarist Mike Campbell don't restrain themselves with these arrangements, ranging from the tasteful licks of "Jefferson Jericho Blues" (about founding father Thomas Jefferson's plantation proclivities) to screaming solos on "I Should Have Known It" and the album-closing "Good Enough." Benmont Tench gets his own piano and organ spotlights on such tracks as "Running Man's Bible" and the swirling "Something Good Coming," while Petty and company cut a wide swath through Delta blues ("Takin' My Time"), reggae (the pro-pot "Don't Pull Me Over"), garage rock ("Candy") and nods to soul ("No Reason to Cry") and folk ("Something Good Coming"). It's not news that these guys rock, but on their first new album in eight years the Heartbreakers have their "Mojo" working like they never have before—which is a fine thing indeed.
