This is one of several shows where I took advantage of free tickets from work...it was a great perk.
I liked Petty's music and I may have owned one of his albums at this point, but I wouldn't have been looking to buy tickets to one of his shows. Fortunately I took advantage of the freebies.
The show was sort of a revelation. What I never really grasped before was what a great band these guys were...extremely tight! And it also struck me that they had so many great songs. It was like I had taken advantage of Tom Petty, I had let him entertain me for years and I never gave him anything in return...sort of like the relationship I have with my local NPR station. (I used to subscribe)
I can't find a setlist from the show but I found some clips from the tour. The band recorded a concert video during the same month that I saw them called Take The Highway and you can find the entire video on You Tube. Here are a few from the show that really remember being outstanding.
