That sucks. I guess the waiting was the hardest part after the breakdown.
"We're told after Petty got to the hospital he had no brain activity and a decision was made to pull life support. "
RIP TP

This really sucks. Now we'll be subjected to commemorations of his life and career and have to listen to all that boring strummy folksy shit he did after he quit rocking with the Heartbreakers
-
Had never seen him in concert. Saw that he was touring with the Heartbreakers this summer. Put it down mentally as "we should go to that". Closest show is in Baltimore. Grrrrr.
Weekend rolls around and we're like oh crap that's this weekend. Oh well didn't get tix, forget it.
Kid has a friend invite her over for a sleepover so she goes over. Free evening, got to local bar with live music. Wife gets a reminder of Petty playing that night. We're like shit, I guess we can go. Check real quick on stubhub to see prices. Not thrilled but not insane.
Make decision of fuck it, lets go and deal with tix in the car. Make hour drive to Baltimore. Fuck the Beltway and fuck Maryland drivers.
Wife does not like any of the tix on stubhub and keeps waiting for the prices to go down. At 7pm show time for opening act, stubhub shuts off sales. We're walking to the arena at this point.
She's freaking out and I'm like come on let's go to the ticket window. Walk up and say what's available. Lady says some section and we say what about some other section, then she sees there are front row tix in the arena seating (not floor seating) available close to the stage. Done. Get those. I guess they were held back or something.
Amazing show, so close to the stage and not in the mess on the floor. Tom needed singer help of course but they still put on an incredible show. And now even more glad we went. No family pics, fuck all of you forever. -
He was the bridge from the 60's super groups to the next wave. The best thing I can say about him is that his first two albums sounded older than they were.
By the Waiting the 80's had taken hold.
Cool story on the HBO series about how Petty's sound engineer took up a romance with Stevie Nicks while working on her first solo album. She needed a single so the guy asks Tom if they can use Stop Dragging my Heart.
That single made her solo album over shadow his big Waiting album that was his first since he won his lawsuit against his label -
That was none other than Jimmy Iovine.RaceBannon said:He was the bridge from the 60's super groups to the next wave. The best thing I can say about him is that his first two albums sounded older than they were.

Tom Petty was, with no questions, the best concert ever.
Mother fucker put on a show.
Only saw him once.
Fiddlers Green in Denver during the Wildflowers Tour.
It was fucking pouring.
He couldn't believe the audience wasn't leaving ... so he just kept doing encores.
Best show ever. -
He played the rose bowl golf course this year at pasadena's inaugural summer music fest on the same tour. His set started out crunch-groovy 80s, followed by a psychedelic 20-minute "It's Good to be King" and ending up with a half-hour of his electric guitar classics. He's an LA loving transplant like Race. He'd play every venue there was (Fonda Theater, and rose bowl golf course and Hollywood bowl at the end).whlinder said:Had never seen him in concert.

I saw Petty at the Gorge a few years ago ... thinking it must have been 2014
A tremendous show ...
It's a sad, sad day today -

Makes sense about Stevie Nicks. The only time I saw him she came out for a couple songs unannounced. However the sound man must have been distracted as it was the lowest volume concert that I’ve ever been to.RaceBannon said:He was the bridge from the 60's super groups to the next wave.
