I just saw them live, tonight in Atlanta at the Lakewood Amphitheater. Holy shit, I love Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. <3

And probably a few more. It was a super long and super kick ass set. I am so spazzed out right now. :spaz <3

Note: You can find much better audio, but I went for live performances from this year whenever possible, since that's what has me flipping out right now. XP

Iconic. Classic. Kickass. Especially Runnin' Down a Dream. I have always loved that song (since I was 5), and the solo (the one at 2:30) STILL blew me away when I saw it a few hours ago. Fuck.

One of the best and most consistent bands of the last 25 years for sure (astute observation, Mr. Crowe ^^).

I am going to have to pimp some Petty soon. Parts of his discography really are essential, and I haven't even seen Tom mentioned on the forums since I joined. :S

I pimped Petty's newest solo album Highway Companion when we had the pimp-list celebration thing but I don't know if anyone listened to it since it didn't get any comments.

Anyway, Tom Petty is great and if you like classic rock, you definitely need to check him out. It doesn't matter if it's his solo work or his work with the Heartbreakers, it all rocks. I don't even have a single favorite album. Wildflowers, Echo and Into the Great Wide Open are all very good. Not to forget Full Moon Fever, Damn the Torpedoes and of course Highway Companion.

<3 to Petty

A bit of a legend, right there :love

DAmn that sounds like an awesome show!!
I would love to go see him..I too have been a fan since i was young!
One of the best and most consistent bands of the last 25 years for sure
I couldnt agree more:nod

Tom Petty is not just an amaxing musician who continues to evolve, he's a fucking icon of Rock and Roll.

I got to hear both Two Gunslingers and Zombie Zoo when I saw him back in '01.

An amazing show.

You saw Tom LIVE!!! And you didnt take me with you! Cmon man! We are only two states apart! ;)

[jkingler]

Where are you now? I am in Atlanta, you know. :oh

[o0oEnderIlleso0o]

Werent you in California just a while back or am I just retarded? Maybe both. Im still in good ol SLC. Wishing my life was a little more "SLC punk" and a little less SLC.

I guess thats a good enough excuse for not inviting me. ;)

I know for a fact that I was in CA not too long ago. I am not so sure about that second bit. :P

Well, he sorta turned plain old SLC in the end anyways. :amuse

I figure inviting someone from Utah to a concert in Georgia would be reason enough for a thorough ass-kicking. XD

It WAS a fucking amazing concert though, >.>

[o0oEnderIlleso0o]

Ok, now your just rubbing it in. ;)

[Lacus Clyne]

You are lucky, Joe!!!!!! I love Tom Petty <3 I am glad you had a good time!!
