It’s 1:22 a.m., and the last lighting, video and sound cases are getting loaded up and pushed off the stage at the Hollywood Bowl, where Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers played three incredible sold-out, hometown shows to close out the band’s 40th Anniversary tour.
Fifty-three shows. Twenty-four states. Twelve lighting crew. Eleven truck drivers. Nine in Production. Seven sound guys. Six backline crew. Six months. Five opening acts. Three countries. Three riggers. One legendary band and over one million legendary fans. Thank you to all!
My favorite Tom Petty song. And one that is strangely appropriate today. I dedicate this not just to Petty's memory but all the American Girls that died in Las Vegas last night.
I hope this is true (he survives) for two reasons:
First and foremost, and obviously, good to see a rock legend still around and for him to see his granddaughter again.
Secondly, it'll reinforce the viewpoint that media are too quick to pull the trigger on unsubstantiated stories in order to get the first scoop/clicks.
Anyhow, hope we see recovery and that reports of his death were greatly exaggerated.

They did open up for Jane's Addiction, Flaming Lips and have praised from both of them and Smashing Pumpkins who also influenced them. They did had minor hits on the Billboards Alternative Charts, and have been played on MTV on the Alt Rock show.
