petty


leave it to jay to come up with floor seats to one of the best shows that has rolled through the AAC in a long time.

we saw tom petty and the heartbreakers (also with steve winwood) perform before a sold out crowd last night - and let me tell you, it was quite a show. petty has always been one of my very favorites, and he did not disappoint. we loved every minute of it, sang along and just enjoyed an old favorite. the stage was incredible, illuminated with crazy lights and big screens. when i heard the first few cords of each and every song, i shreeked with delight, knowing i was about to hear another classic. i'd have to say "free fallin," "i won't back down" and "mary jane's last dance" are some of my favorite songs ever - and he plays them even better live. how often (bono and the boys aside) can you say that about an artist?!?

i am thrilled i finally got to see him live - thanks for hooking it up, jay-man!
