I always liked TP but never went to a concert. Recently watched the Netflix documentary “Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Runnin’ Down a Dream”. Long but very good.
Coincidentally I watched again the George Harrison documentary Living in the Material World which came out in 2011 (Harrison fied in late 2001). Petty is interviewed in the last part of the film due to his collaboration with the Travelling Wilburys and his continued friendship with George.
There is one scene in which TP recalls getting a phone call from George right after Roy Orbison died. And TP said that the first thing that Harrison said to him was “Aren’t you glad that it wasn’t you?” And TP replied, “Yeah, I am.”
Thanks for the memories Tom...RIP.
It’s a bit surprising that of the Wilburys’ lineup, Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne are the only ones left.
