Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers
It’s been a while since he’s commanded attention from more than his weathered fans, but Tom Petty has enough knockout anthems to make any show right for rapture. Unlike many rockers who have been at it for ages, Petty has great albums in his recent past—1994’s Wildflowers and 1999’s Echo are among his best—and songs like “American Girl” and “The Waiting” are worth the few duds that might fall between. Live, he still sings hard and carries his share of the guitar work, instead of just falling back on the Heartbreakers for support.
