I wasn't going to watch it, but I did end up having a look on Youtube.
It was... lackluster. Bland. Boring. But I'm not surprised. Stevie has lost so much range, plus she looked like she was going to fall asleep up there. As a lifelong Tom Petty fan, I have a lot of respect for Mike Campbell. I still do, but he lacks Lindsey's stage presence. I think arrogance in a performer can be actually be a very good thing and Mike just doesn't have it. I had no opinion of Neil Finn going into this - and I still don't.
Maybe they'll get better as time goes on and they do more live performances, but I don't think I'll be watching to find out.
