Has Anyone Seen Tom Petty this tour?

[jkmaletic]

I just bought some Tom Petty tickets for this Saturday and was wondering if anyone here has seen him this tour. :D I've always wanted to see him, but never got around to it until now. The tickets were a great price - $60 each.
Anyone gone to any of his shows this year?

Yup. Saw him in June. He rocks. I had a 1000 page review posted here (as usual) , it may be gone though.

I didn't get to see him, and I'm not happy about it. Tom Petty is always great in concert though. Had I not been on vacation I would have seen him for sure. He is one of my favorite people to go see live.

He puts on a great show! I haven't seen him on this tour because he's not coming anywhere near Texas, for some reason. :shrug:

However, the Black Crowes are playing at the Austin City Limits Festival in late September. :thumbsup:

I saw Tom Petty this tour in Cleveland! Awesome, awesome show. The setlist was, like, perfection. I think everyone there knew nearly every single song- there were even people singing along to the new ones. And I really wanted him to stay there and just sing his entire catalog. That would have made it even better...though we'd have been there for days.

i'm a little bitter about tom petty this year... i have seen him every time he's been in a city near me in the last 6 years... and this year he was scheduled to play here TONIGHT- but it was taken off of his tour schedule with no explainations... the radio DJs had even started getting pumped about it. i'm soooo bummed- i LOVE him!

I saw Tom Petty back in June in West Palm Beach. The concert was awesome. I'm not the biggest Petty fan ever, but the concert was one of the best I have ever been to. The music was great....I think there were maybe 3 or 4 songs I didn't know. Plus it helped that we got to go up to the stage after the 2nd or 3rd song. I was looking forward to seeing the Black Crowes, but I have to say that I was a little disappointed with their set. They didn't play one of their hits, and the songs were a good 7-10 mins long. Although, I did get a kick out of the fact that they light Nag Champa before their set starts. The smell filled the covered area of the venue. Thought that was an interesting touch. I hope you have a wonderful time on Saturday!!
