I saw Tom Petty for the first time in Phoenix sometime around 2000 (maybe 99 or 01 - I can't remember).
Great Show, had a good time.
I was on a job there and a young engineer from Scotland went with me. He nearly froze in his tracks when he say the Police carrying a sidearm! I still laugh, I think it was the first pistol he had seen.

Cordially,

I saw Tom Petty and the Hearbreakers in 1978 (I think) at the Orpheum in Memphis. The Orpheum is a 1920's or 30's classic theatre, you know, with gold leaf and crystal chaneliers, etc. I estimate it only holds 3,000 or 4,000.

TO THIS DAY - I still maintain that was the best rock and roll concert I have EVER seen/heard. They can really rock. THAT'S why they are still touring - they are just that good.

In Tom's own words after being selected one of VH!s topp 100 Rock stars of all time...

"Ain't it amazing what you can do with three chords!"

gotta Love Tom Petty
