Review > Concert > Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers


I was right on the floor Friday night as I saw Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers rock the house in a packed Wachovia Center.  He ripped through many of his hits ("Free Fallin'", "Don't Come Around Here No More", "American Girl") and even busted out a few obscure tunes like "Girl on LSD" and "Cabin Down Below".  Steve Winwood joined Petty to jam on Winwood's own "Gimme Some Lovin".  It must have been 10 years since I last saw Petty, and I remember him putting on a great show, but the sound Friday night was amazing.  Hopefully he's still got some years of touring left in him despite rumors to the contrary.
