Вот как раз хотел спросить про лого. Что это "3" или рога перевернутые?

Это вариации на тему знака Ом. :)

Судя по всему- новое лого, это 30. Столько лет группе.

Bogdanovich to Film Tom Petty Tour Tue Apr 25

LOS ANGELES - Peter Bogdanovich will tag along with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers to film their upcoming concert tour for a documentary.

Bogdanovich, who directed "The Last Picture Show" and "Paper Moon," began work late last year on a feature film documentary chronicling the band's three-decade career.

"We've given him access we've never given anybody," Petty, 55, said as the dates were announced for the Highway Companion Tour, which will open June 9 in Charlotte, N.C.

Pearl Jam, Trey Anastasio and the Allman Brothers Band will share the bill at some performances and more guests will be added, according to band's Web site. Petty is putting the finishing touches on his solo "Highway Companion" album.

"We're trying to give a sense of what happened to this group of kids that came from Gainesville, Fla. — how they made the big time," Bogdanovich said. "How did that change them, and how did they change the world?"

"I'm not an expert on Tom Petty, I'm just a fan," the 66-year-old director said. "But what appeals to me is that he's a real American artist — an impressionist — very much of the American grain."

Other stops on the tour include the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival near Manchester, Tenn.; St. Louis; New York City; Indianapolis; Milwaukee; and Denver.

Two members of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers -- guitarist Mike Campbell and keyboardist Benmont Tench -- will appear on the upcoming Johnny Cash album American V: A Hundred Highways. The CD, which is due out July 4, will include the last song the late country legend ever recorded, as well as a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Further On (Up the Road)." Campbell and Tench also played on several other recent Cash discs.

Tom Petty on Making It Big
The rocker reflects on his "crazy days" and his first cover shoot

ONLINE EXCLUSIVE
Looking at this cover image, Tom Petty could only say, "Those were crazy days, man." They were also more than twenty-five years ago, as Austin Scaggs points out in his interview with the influential rocker for our 1000th issue.

Back then (as now), Petty hated photo shoots -- but he did manage to tolerate Annie Leibovitz since she's "quick" and "better than most." Petty felt his first cover, shot by Leibovitz in the spring of 1980, was a serious achievement. "It meant you arrived," he says. "Because not just anyone appeared on Rolling Stone -- it was a music thing, not bubble-gum pop or movie stars."

Petty and his band, the Heartbreakers, are embarking on what may be their last major tour this summer. His solo album, Highway Companion, is also due in the coming months.

У меня был этот номер. Тогда на Петти я особенного внимания не обратил, более интересна была статья об аресте Пола с кучой фотографий.

Не самая моя любимая обложка. Мне больше нравится 81 год. где он доллар разрывает.

Fans cry foul Tom Petty cancels 460 tickets to stop scalpers
BY ROSS RAIHALA
Pioneer Press
If you bought a ticket from an online broker for Tom Petty's upcoming shows with Pearl Jam at the X, you may be out of luck.

In a move that could be a first in the industry, Petty's management and Ticketmaster have canceled some 460 seats for the June 26 and 27 concerts that were set aside for fan club members but have since shown up on Internet sites that resell tickets at a higher price.

The tickets will be offered once again to fan club members under more strict guidelines that will require a photo ID to pick up the tickets on the night of the concert.

"We don't claim to have completely eliminated all reselling activity on these or any other shows," said manager Tony Dimitriades in a statement on Petty's Web site. "But this is definitely a step in the right direction and a major strike on behalf of the good guys."

Like many major touring acts, Petty offers his audience a chance to purchase prime seats for his concerts before they go on sale to the general public. But fans took to the Internet, via Petty's message board, to complain that many of the St. Paul tickets supposedly meant for that very purpose were already available for purchase at inflated rates through online brokers.

"It was the fan outcry that brought it to our attention," said Catherine Swedberg, marketing director for Jam Productions, the local promoters of the concerts. "I think everybody gets frustrated when they see tickets online going for $300 or $400 each."

Numerous scalpers apparently had joined Petty's fan club solely to buy tickets and resell them at a higher price — a violation of the club's terms, as well as Minnesota state law.

Petty's management and Ticketmaster worked together to figure out which of the seats that had been set aside for fans were up for sale online. On Thursday night, about 460 tickets were canceled. Swedberg said it's the first time she's heard of such a move.

"I think it's a step in the right direction," Swedberg said.

It's also possible other artists will look to this move as a test for preventing their own fan-club seats from being resold.

А мне больше всего нравится 1995. И внутри тоже (особенно черно-белая на всю страницу - напоминает генерала Ли, почему-то).

О другом. Мир тесен, однако. Просматривала выборочно сайт, где выложены сканы обложек бутлегов, нашла там один от концерта (Верона 1987 с Роджером МакГуином и Диланом), который имеется у меня, только я свою обложку делала сама. Думаю, наконец появится что-то более-менее официальное. Открываю - там моя обложка. :-)

Обложка здесь (если кому интересно). Только у меня она полностью не открывается, зависает на середине.(http://www.zombiezoo.net/cover/dylan-mcguinn.html)

Думаю теперь посмотреть, может еще что из моих обложек там есть? Это было бы забавно.

А мне нравится фотка Тома на верблюде

а, что же, новый альбом?

"I Just Try to Write a Good Song"
Sean Bresnan - gonegator.com

Thats what Tom Petty said when asked about his songwriting methods at ASCAPs I Create Music Expo this past Saturday. The expo was aimed at practicing song writers. So, if youre not one, or not interested in the music business, the rest of the three day expo would have put you to sleep.
Tom spoke for an hour in front of a standing room only crowd of 700 - 800 people. I felt quite honored sitting on a reserved row along with Jon Scott, Bugs, Peter Bogdanovich, George Drakoulias, Tony Dimitriades, Mary Klauzer and Mrs. Dana Petty. Tom sat center stage with an interviewer and the room had two large video screens on either side, but there wasn’t a bad seat in the room. It was just great to listen to Tom talk in such an intimate setting.
To be honest, if you read Paul Zollos book, Conversations with Tom Petty, there really wasnt too much new information given. I did supply Mary Klauzer with three questions from the Tom Petty Bulletin Board. One of which was answered directly (kinda). The other two were kind of covered by other questions asked.
The first 20 minutes, the interviewer asked pretty standard questions. Tom wanted to give most of his time to the songwriters in the crowd, so the remaining 40 minutes or so was opened to the crowd. ASCAP had two microphones set up near the stage where people stood in line to talk to Tom Petty. They actually cut off questions when my friend and photographer, Michelle, was next in line. My heart just sank for her. But hopefully I will have pictures up at gonegator.com soon.
I know I didnt get all the questions, but my main concern was what Tom was saying. So, I will paraphrase some of the questions and give Toms answers. What I love about Tom Petty is what an honest, down to earth, humble and FUNNY guy he can be. And all of these things came out in this interview
Something of note, in the introduction part, the interviewer was mentioning tour dates. I havent seen or heard it mentioned anywhere else, but the band will be playing the Austin City Limits festival in, thats right, Austin Texas in September.
Interviewer: Where were you [in life] when music took you over?
Tom Petty: In my front yard
Tom then told the classic Elvis story we all know and love.
Interviewer: Tell us about your 1st band
Tom Petty: Tom never said which band it was, Epics or Sundowners, but did say I put this band together with the only other guy in Gainesville with long hair. He went on to say that this girl had asked him if his band would play a dance, so Tom said they got to the dance and had three songs worked up real good. We played these three songs really good [pause] and then we played them again. When I got into Rock n Roll, it was all about gettin the girl, so we did like Wooly Bully for this dance, never got that girl though. Tom went on to say that they auditioned for Capricorn at the studio in Macon, GA where the Allman Brothers recorded. He said, we were rejected for sounding too English.
Interviewer: Tell us about the songwriting process and lyrics, can you just call your muse up on the phone?
Tom Petty: Just lucky really, I like it when the words and music come together at the same time.” Tom went on to say how he wrote “Wildflowers.” He said basically, he had gone on a drive, turned the tape recorder at home and recorded that whole song, chord changes and lyrics in one take. On songs Tom said, “It just happens really and it keeps happening.” Who’s your muse?, “My wife [pause] inspiration comes at different times really, I just try to keep my antenna up because it’s downright impolite to ignore the muse. I just try to write a good song. I may write ten songs and throw them away before finding the right one.”
Interviewer: Tell us what its like working with the Heartbreakers.
Tom Petty: Theyre my family, theres nobody else I would rather work with.
Interviewer: Any advice for our songwriters?
Tom Petty: Always be yourself and never follow trends
Here are a few of the better questions asked by songwriters in the audience.
Songwriter: Any advice for writers block when your own worst critic?
Tom Petty: The Heartbreakers can be very critical surround yourself with good people find yourself a good producer to bounce things off of.
Songwriter: What did you think of the Strokes ripping off American Girl?
Tom Petty: I did hear that song, and if they had used my lyrics, I would have been upset I got a really nice letter from the Strokes saying please dont sue us, we meant it as a tribute to you So I let it slide.
Songwriter: Do you ever check your MySpace account?
Tom Petty: Whats that? [shrugs shoulders] I dont know what that is!
That answer received a great laugh and round of applause from the audience. Im writing this from my notes and I dont remember the exact question asked, but on collaborating with Stevie Nicks, Tom said Stevie has agreed to come out and do a few songs with us on this tour. On wardrobes and look, Tom said we got into the music, never got into the jewelry.
So, I supplied Mary Klauzer with a few questions from TP's BBS. And the interviewer goes we're going to pause and ask a question from the BBS... someone in the audience said something like "Is it from the 'Crazy Chick'" and I swear Tom goes yeah it's probably from the Crazy Lady or something like that.
Now I've only done the Crazy Chick bit on Gone Gator Radio during one of my live shows. So, it kinda made me feel like Tom heard that and thought it was funny. It may have been purely coincidental with how he responded to the girl in the audience. But it was flattering that the girl in the audience HAD heard the bit!!!
From the BBS: How do you develop your characters for your songs. Looks liked they picked Cathees question!
Tom Petty: Its just fun reallyits fun to try and be someone youre not to try to imagine what that person might be doingto tell a story. In a song, each line is so important. Tom goes on to give the 1st line of Blue Sunday as an example she took a rolled-up twenty out of her pocket and paid for my cigarettes now we have this guy who smokes he cant afford them and for some reason, this girl rolls up her money. Its just fun.
Ive got several more notes and an audio recording to go through with many more questions, but these were the best ones. Ill close with one of the last questions asked and I think with one of Toms best answers, ok, 2nd to the MySpace one.
Songwriter: What are your governing values?
Tom Petty: Have morals be good and treat other people the way you want to be treated.
In other words, dont be a dick!
