30th Anniversary Concert from Gainesville, FL, as Tom Petty turns 60 today
Tom Petty started in 1976 with Mike Campbell on lead, Benmont Trench on keyboards and Stan Lynch on drums as the core group. They lasted through most of the 1980s and 1990s with Howie Epstein stepping into the bassist slot in 1982.
Tom Petty has had a long association with Bob Dylan, backing him with his band, and as a member of the super group The Travelling Wilburys.
His hits are legends of rock like Mary Jane’s Last Dance, I Won’t Back Down, and Free Fallin.
For his 30th Anniversary Concert, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers returned to his home in Gainesville Florida for a concert filmed by director Peter Bogdanovich. Stevie Nicks is a guest vocalist during part of the concert.
You can watch the whole concert Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers‘Running Down The Dream” on YouTube free on your computer. It’s low res 240p so it looks awful on television. The YouTube sound is decent because it came from the DVD.
