I really enjoyed listening to this collection. It's a lot of  great music packed into one sweet little package. I keep coming back to the memory that the guy who turned me on to Tom Petty also turned me on to Devo, Black Flag and The Meatmen. Looking at it with an older mind it actually shouldn't really of surprised me actually. The Punk Rock movement was brought about by music fans that felt Rock music had gotten too bloated and self-indulgent. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers music was anything but bloated and self indulgent. The wrote great Rock songs with great stories in the lyrics. No tours with a 100 piece orchestra and Benmont Tench wasn't surrounded by 60 synthesizers. The same reason their music made some of their influences want to record and tour with them. Bob Dylan, George Harrison, to name a couple. Plain and simple Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers were dA Damn Good Rock & Roll Band. Hope you enjoy this collection!!

A nice sounding FM broadcast recording that I downloaded from Live Petty at livepetty.com. They have a site that features boots from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Mudcrutch, Traveling Wilburys, The Dirty Knobs & Benmont Tench. Another one of my sources that I am sharing with you. So you can grab what you might want without having to wait for me to get around to posting it. I have over 40TB of bootlegs and just had to add another 20TB drive which already has 5TB on it...meaning I have a lot of stuff to choose from so it might take a while before you get what you want...Enjoy the Live Petty!!

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I had to raise the volume by more than double, and even out the volume, as the left channel was about 3db less than the right. I also had to divide the tracks, these tasks were done with Goldwave. The DVD audio was lossy so I encoded the waves to MP3 320kbps using Trader's Little Helper.

This recording shows a little bit of it's age, but is a very enjoyable listen. Not sure how many recordings from the 1982 US Festival are around, I sure am glad to have this one in my Tom Petty collection. I was introduced to Tom Petty's music trough a Punk Rock Friend of mine when I was in Junior High School. We had skipped school to go to his place and smoke some weed. He pulled out Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (the self titled debut) and said "Dave, this guys no bullshit attitude towards Rock & Roll is gonna make him a either a song writers musician or a big star, not sure which." By time the album ended I new one thing, I was going down to the local record shop to grab that album the next day.

The band Lampedusa is a Supergroup with Steve Earle, Patty Griffin, Emmylou Harris, Buddy Miller, & Lucinda Williams every member takes a vocal on their track. Jamey Johnson performs "Southern Accents" & "Room At The Top" acoustic but his band joins him on "Mary Jane's Last Dance". The recording ends with Lucinda Williams also performing "Southern Accents".
