Live reviews

I was always a dork when it came to music, until about the age of 13. I listened to old R&B and stuff that my mom listened to but then I decided to separate myself into a category of my own musical tastes. Tom Petty was a flame that lit my love for music. There's just something about the sound, the way Petty is able to grab you on the very first note of a song. I remember hearing Last Dance With Mary Jane in the car for the first time. I also remember seeing Tom Petty live for the first time last year and the performance was one of the best I have seen in years. His memorable voice and incredible lyrics have always had me hooked. I can only imagine what it must have been like to see him in his absolute prime, but I can tell you now that his performance was one I can't forget. I fell in love with a man for 35 minutes while "Free Fallin'" played and I slow danced with an absolute stranger. That's the sort of feeling that Petty gives me. There's nothing quite like a road trip without a little "American Girl" in it somewhere. If you love rock and roll, and love good cruisin' music, Petty is the way to go!

30 Years Ago: Tom Petty Mends Fences on ‘Great Wide Open’ Tour

In the early '90s, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were between two worlds.

Petty himself was fresh off the success of his debut solo album, Full Moon Fever , but only a few years away from his most poignant songwriting period, which would yield much of the material included on   Wildflowers .  Somewhere in the middle, there was 1991's  Into the Great Wide Open , the band's eighth studio LP, for which Petty reunited with the Heartbreakers but brought along his  Full Moon Fever  producer Jeff Lynne . That decision initially put off the Heartbreakers, but the success of singles like "Learning to Fly" made it a bit easier to look past.

"That's the paradox of the whole thing," Petty noted in the 2005 book, Conversations with Tom Petty , "I think they were kind of pleased with it. And it did well for us, and we went on to perform everything live. ... I think whatever their hang-ups were kind of dissipated once the record was done. Then they felt good about it."

When the tour launched in Denver on Aug. 29, 1991, the audience view wasn't of your typical rock show. An elaborate set design featured a large, storybook-styled tree with a staircase leading down to the stage, along with dangling chandeliers. The mystical-looking layout was created by Jim Lenahan, who would later design several more Petty tours in the mid-2000s, as well as stages for Don Henley , Santana , Marty Stuart and more.

"It's been maybe two years since we played in front of people," Petty told MTV at the time, "so I'm kinda jazzed up right now."

But on the tour's first night, Petty was so ill that his manager had to coax him into performing. "That's all part of life on the road," guitarist Mike Campbell said. "The show must go on and all that." ("I was just up all night and didn't sleep," Petty assured, "I think I'm okay now.")

The Heartbreakers were joined by a special guest, Texas blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter Chris Whitley, as they made their way across the U.S. and then on to Europe for a total of 64 concerts in eight months, wrapping up on April 2, 1992 in Malmo, Sweden. Average set lists included multiple songs from Into the Great Wide Open , though they were nearly evenly balanced out with  Full Moon Fever  material, along with a handful of tried and true fan favorites like "American Girl," "Refugee" and "You Got Lucky." Sprinkled amongst the originals were a few covers, including Count Five's "Psychotic Reaction" and Van Morrison 's "I'm Tired Joey Boy."

Those unable to catch the tour in person were in luck: A full-length concert film, 1992's  Take the Highway Live , was released as a TV special, highlighting the show's dramatic stage lighting and the crowd's raw energy.

And in October 1991, the band paid a visit to the Saturday Night Live studios,  performing "Into the Great Wide Open" and "Kings Highway."

As proof that the Heartbreakers were shifting toward a new musical era, this would be the last tour featuring original drummer Stan Lynch, who formally left the band in 1994, replaced by Steve Ferrone . After concluding the tour in 1992, Petty would spend most of the next two years off the road, working on the songs that would ultimately appear on Wildflowers .

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Plot 40th Anniversary Tour

By Jon Blistein

Jon Blistein

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will embark on a lengthy U.S. tour this spring to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their self-titled debut album.

The 30-city trek kicks off April 20th at the Chesapeake Energy Center in Oklahoma and wraps with a two-night stand at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York, July 26th and 27th. Joe Walsh will serve as opener for most of the tour, while Chris Stapleton will perform at a June 29th gig at Wrigley Field in Chicago and two shows at Milwaukee’s Summerfest on July 5th and 6th.

Tickets for most shows will go on sale December 16th at 10 a.m. local time (Petty’s Forest Hills show will go on sale Saturday, January 14th). Pre-sale for members of the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Highway Companions Club begins December 14th at 10 a.m. local time.

Petty first announced the tour Thursday night on  The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in a bit that found Fallon questioning just how “live” Petty’s live announcement really was.

Petty and the Heartbreakers are also celebrating the 40th anniversary of their 1976 debut with two companion box sets featuring all of their studio albums on 180-gram vinyl. The sets are out today, December 9th, and include several LPs that have been out of print on vinyl for years. Most of the records were also re-mastered for the release. Both sets are available on Petty’s website .

Watch the Final Moments of Tom Petty’s Last Ever Live Show

T om Petty had some final words for his audience in Los Angeles, California as he closed out the last concert of a world tour. “I wanna thank you for 40 years of a really great time,” he said. One week later the rock legend would be dead, after suffering cardiac arrest in the early morning of Oct. 2. He was 66.

On Sept 25, Petty and his band the Heartbreakers finished a three-night stint at the Hollywood Bowl as part of their 40th anniversary tour. YouTube user Kim Roberts caught footage of the band’s encore, the hit songs ‘You Wreck Me’ and ‘American Girl’.

“My tears are falling down as i write this as the news of Tom’s death from cardiac arrest is reported,” she wrote in the video’s description. “Unbelievable that one week to the day of this performance at the Hollywood Bowl, last day of the 40th anniversary tour, Tom would have left us.”

The footage shows an appreciative crowd whooping as the band finish their performance and then stick around to sign autographs. “God bless you! Goodnight!” said Petty just before walking off the stage.
