CONCERT REVIEW
Petty’s distinct sound still enthralls
By Aaron Beck

.

We all have gifts. Some are blessed with athletic prowess, some with the patience to teach children, some with the capacity to endure office work.
Tom Petty is blessed with a voice like no other, and a person who has spent even the slightest time near FM radio since 1976 -- the year Petty and the Heartbreakers released their self-titled debut -- can recognize that tobacco smoke-bred, nasal delivery coming at them through the man's ample, seemingly clenched teeth.

It sounded rare then and -- in 2006, when can hear so many new voices 24 hours a day on the Internet, satellite radio and beyond -- it sounds even rarer.

Rock 'n' roll fans should be thankful the Gainesville, Fla., native is still gracious enough to share that instrument with us.

Petty and the Heartbreakers, on what they're hinting will be the final big-venue hits parade, performed last night in a packed Germain Amphitheater.

Petty, with drummer Steve Ferrone, guitarist-harmonica player Scott Thurston, bassist Ron Blair and the two who have been with Petty since 1975 -- guitarist Mike Campbell and keyboardist Benmont Tench -- gave a performance suitable for a joint that holds 20,000.

There of course were hits and the set was packed with the familiar from four decades, including Listen to Her Heart, from '78, with its conspicuous Byrds jingle-jangle; You Don't Know How It Feels ('94); I Won't Back Down ('89) and a duo of new tunes.

Those new songs, to be included on Petty's first studio album in four years, Highway Companion, included Saving Grace. Carried by a John Lee Hooker/Billy Gibbons-like guitar line, was sinister, bottom-heavy rockabilly. Square One, with Petty on acoustic guitar, touched on absolving one's self of mistakes and guilt, was something anyone with age marks around the eyes ought to be able to understand.

There were surprises, including I'm a Man and Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac's Oh Well.

And there was a guest: Stevie Nicks, whose husky, dusky pipes make a perfect companion for Petty's twang.

Nicks' performance and presence really upped the energy of the show. Twirling in her trademark frilly, friendly-witch garb, she belted out Stop Draggin' My Heart Around ('81) and burned the barn down with Petty and the Heartbreakers on I Need to Know ('78).

"We're just havin' some fun is all," said Petty. "Just having some fun."

And it was. But what truly is exciting is the future. Hits-stoked, two-hour amphitheater shows are fun, familiar and a good way to persuade people to pay upwards of $80 a head to see them. If Petty is serious about shelving the idea for a while, or for good, so be it. The guy's discography is deep and lined with so many good rock songs. Watching him play those in new ways in new venues and using that distinct voice that is going to get only more distinct will make for some real news to share.

A man with a not so distinct voice played first last night -- former Phish guitarist-singer-songwriter Trey Anastasio. His previous band played three-hour noodlefests and were known for covering an entire album by, say, the Beatles.

Solo, Anastasio played it more straight-ahead, going for '70s soul-rock vibe as he played not-so-distinct solos and singing in a voice that if it were a color would be beige.

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers are on tour to celebrate 30 years together. They played Nissan Pavilion on Saturday.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers celebrate 30 years at Nissan Pavilion

Date published: 6/15/2006


By EMILY GILMORE

BRISTOW--There's a line in Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers' "Mary Jane's Last Dance" that goes, "You never slow down, you never grow old." The band seems to have taken the lyric to heart, churning out chart-toppers in the studio and onstage for the last three decades.

The group is celebrating 30 years together with a tour that stopped at Nissan Pavilion in Bristow last weekend.

With the opening of the very first song, "Listen to Her Heart," everyone in the manic audience shot to their feet, where they remained, cheering and dancing.

Having clearly learned a thing or two during their time together, Petty and his ace bandmates--bass player Ron Blair, keyboardist Benmont Tench, guitarist and harmonica player Scott Thurston, drummer Steve Ferrone and guitarist Mike Campbell, whom Petty called the band's co-captain--played hits like "You Don't Know How It Feels" and "Free Fallin'" with unfailing precision, but the players had that extra energy that comes from performing live.

The audience, which almost drowned out the band at times, fed off that energy, and there was an electricity in the air that made everyone go nuts every time Petty said a word.

He must be used to this sort of thing by now, but he seemed truly in awe as he raised his arms and thanked the audience after each song.

The Heartbreakers covered the band's whole career during their blistering set, from songs they played growing up to a couple of numbers that will be on Petty's new album, "Highway Companion," due out in July.

About halfway through the show, Petty introduced special guest Stevie Nicks as the band's "little soul sister" before she came onstage to sing the requisite "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around." Slightly spastic, she also took lead vocals on "I Need to Know" before leaving.

She made periodic appearances through the rest of the show--singing "Insider" with Petty, thumping a tambourine with scarves tied to it, providing backup vocals--but she wasn't featured as prominently as it seems like she should have been.

Petty appeared to get tired toward the end, but the band returned to form as they ended their regular set with "Refugee" and "Runnin' Down a Dream."

The huge finishes to those songs whipped up a hysteria that continued through what seemed like an interminable break before the encore, which started strong with "You Wreck Me," meandered through "Mystic Eyes" and ended with a blazing "American Girl."

But for all the intensity, Petty seemed kind of out of it the whole show. His playing was dead-on, he remembered all the words, and his voice sounded great, but the way he ambled around the stage and interacted with the audience suggested he wasn't quite with it.

Still, the band played enough hits that even casual fans could have had the time of their lives. But then it was a huge disappointment when the show was over and we began to realize how many songs we didn't get to hear. Those two hours just weren't enough.

Tom Petty Heads Down New 'Highway'
June 15, 2006

Tom Petty has settled on the track list for "Highway Companion," his first solo album since 1994's Rick Rubin-produced "Wildflowers." Fittingly, the set is due July 25 on Rubin's American Recordings imprint via Warner Bros.

First single "Saving Grace" can be streamed from Petty's Web site and will be available July 4 via digital download retailers.

"It's just really a nice collection of songs," Petty told Billboard earlier this year of the album, produced by longtime collaborator Jeff Lynne. "I think it does have an underlying theme of time and what it does to you."

Petty played most of the instruments on "Highway Companion," although Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell handled the lead guitar parts and Lynne chipped in on keyboards, bass and backing vocals.

Petty and the Heartbreakers just launched a summer tour and will perform tomorrow (June 16) at the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tenn. Additional dates are expected to be announced in the coming days.

Here is the track list for "Highway Companion:

"Saving Grace"
"Square One"
"Flirting With Time"
"Down South"
"Jack"
"Turn This Car Around"
"Big Weekend"
"Night Driver"
"Damaged by Love"
"This Old Town"
"Ankle Deep"
"The Golden Rose"

Посмотрела вчера главу из книги, посвященную новому альбому. Интересно, что Том упоминает некоторые песни, которых в этом списке нет. Впрочем, может он переименовал их? А мог и выкинуть. Было бы обидно.

BURBANK, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/15/2006 -- Tom Petty has signed an exclusive recording contract with Rick Rubin's American Recordings. The agreement keeps Petty within the Warner Bros. Records family -- his last four albums were on the Warner Bros. label, including 1994's multi-Platinum, Grammy-winning, Rubin-produced "Wildflowers" -- and Rubin recently brought his American Recordings label back to Burbank.

"Having Tom on American is a dream come true for me," commented Rubin. "Tom is the consummate craftsman when it comes to recording, and has written great songs consistently for thirty years." Rubin is excited to be expanding upon the working relationship he has with Petty & the Heartbreakers, who, in various combinations, have worked with the producer on numerous projects. "Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers is the quintessential American rock band," Rubin added, "and being a great rock and roll band has become a lost art."

"We are delighted that Tom has chosen to continue his relationship with Warner Bros. Records and that he will be working with Rick," says WBR Chairman & CEO Tom Whalley. "They are both incredibly talented and have created some of the greatest music of our time."

The first release under the new agreement will be "Highway Companion," Petty's third solo and 18th overall career disc. Due out on July 25 and featuring twelve new Petty compositions, "Highway Companion" was produced by Jeff Lynne with Petty and Mike Campbell; Lynne also produced the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Petty albums "Full Moon Fever" (1989) and "Into the Great Wide Open" (1991) (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers).

The first radio track is "Saving Grace," which was world-premiered in front of 20-million people on ABC-TV's Dallas vs. Miami NBA Finals last Thursday, June 8. A special video stream of "Saving Grace" is now available at www.tompetty.com.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers are currently on their 2006 U.S. Summer/Fall concert tour, which includes headlining the Bonnaroo Festival on June 16 and Madison Square Garden in New York on June 20th. Both events are sold out. For complete tour dates, visit www.tompetty.com.

This year, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers -- Campbell, Benmont Tench/keyboards, Ron Blair/bass, Scott Thurston/guitars, harmonica, backing vocals, and Steve Ferrone/drums -- will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of their self-titled debut album. For this 30th anniversary, Academy Award-winning director/screenwriter Peter Bogdanovich has signed on to direct a comprehensive feature/film documentary about Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. Over the past 30 years, Petty & the Heartbreakers have sold more than 50-million records, been nominated for 16 Grammy Awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002, the first year the band was eligible. Late last year, Billboard magazine presented Petty with its 2005 Century Award, the publication's highest honor for creative achievement. He recently kicked off his second season of his critically-acclaimed XM Satellite Radio show, "Tom Petty's Buried Treasure."
