Did you really see that or are you having fun? I got
Pack Up The Plantation, but I actually didn't attend any Petty shows in 1985 and I would have loved to see them perform
Needles and Pins live.
With Don, I knew what was coming, because I'd read the fan reviews before I saw them in Michigan. I can't even think about what it would have felt like if she had appeared during that song as a surprise. My goodness.
I can tell you when Lindsey showed up at the first
Behind The Mask show I was so depressed. A friend from San Francisco called and told me that he had made an appearance in Oakland. I could have easily flown up there, but I didn't see the point. I thought he and the band were estranged, based on Mick's recent book.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think he would be there. Although, in retrospect, seeing as how his brother had just passed away, I am not surprised that he and FM had been in contact. When I heard he appeared at the show, I was not only in tears, but sick to my stomach miserable about having missed him.
I had tickets for Los Angeles at the Forum the next day, so I went with a very heavy heart. Well, to my surprise and joy he showed up again. I was absolutely beyond elated. The interaction between him and Stevie was painfully tense. So, it was awkward and somewhat bruising to watch that and it ruined the end of
GYOW, but her earlier words to him still get to me and the interaction between him, Mick, Christine and even John was breathtaking to see at a time when I
never thought I'd see them all together again.
Obviously, a top 5 musical moment of all time.
