Friday night's headline set from the rock legend featured all his massive hits, pls a special guest spot by Stevie Nicks.

Suddenly, Tom Petty is the coolest rocker on earth. Not sure when exactly that happened, but no one could have stood as tall upon Bonnaroo's main stage last night. Playing a barrage of his massive radio hits -- "Refugee," "Mary Jane's Last Dance," "Don't Come Around Here No More," and the epic "Freefallin'" -- Petty bathed in the crowd's warm responses for every moment of his two-plus-hours onstage. Even better: an impromptu duet with Stevie Nicks on "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around." Spin climbed the rafters and got these amazing shots of the stellar headline set.

Everyone MUST click the link. Those pics are fantastic. I see our girl has a new duster thingy layered over her black dress. Don't recall seeing that glittery dotted one before.

I think she wore it a few times during the SYW tour for BC. I also saw it a few time during the Cleveland GD tour show I saw.

I hate to be a critic about her fashion...but I don't understand why she makes her skirts longer now where you can't see her legs, and you know she's wearing those leg warmers now, would be kind of a cool thing to show off ya know....

I could be wrong, but that's my .02

She's worn her skirts longer for quite some time now, though. I didn't realize this until I was watching a show from the Street Angel tour the other night. Not only was she wearing the longer skirts but the dancing was very similar. The only difference was she was wearing the "real" boots and still had more of a chimera of the old days about her.
