I've heard that the setlist hasn't changed much from show to show and that the show lengths have been on the short side. Any comments would be much appreciated. Thanks!  |
The fact that you've never seen Tom Petty LIVE before tells me one thing: YOU are going to have a great time! Tom puts on a great show and he is part of an amazing band, from Benmont Tench (piano, keyboards), Mike Campbell (lead guitar), Steve Ferrone (drums) you are going to hear almost every song you can think of, and then some more! If you want specifics, go to this great website:

Like fans of Fleetwood Mac, fans that go to multiple shows all complain about hearing all the hits at a show, but Tom does throw in more surprises and includes stuff from their latest album as well. The audience tends to be mellow--seems to be a scent of Genja in the air at their shows.
