Tom Petty Concert Tickets

Tom Petty Concert Tickets
Tom Petty, known in his early years as “Tommy”, was born in Gainesville, Florida and grew up in northeast Gainesville. As a teen-aged, amateur musician he often practiced at home with friends and sometimes even in the family owned fall-out shelter located in his back yard. Petty graduated from Gainesville High School in 1968. Petty did not have any musical aspirations until Elvis Presley came to Ocala, Florida, 25 miles south of Petty’s hometown, to work on a film, “Follow That Dream”. Petty went down to watch him and was inspired. After working with his early bands The Sundowners, The Epics, and Mudcrutch with ace drummer Randall Marsh, (which also included future Heartbreakers members Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench) he began his recording career with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers when the band broke onto the national music scene with their 1976 self-titled debut album. Still, it took America a full year to catch up to the album. “Breakdown” was re-released to radio and became a Top 40 hit in 1977 after word filtered back the band was creating a firestorm in England.
Their 1978 second album You’re Gonna Get It! proved the debut album’s intensity was no fluke. Marking the band’s first gold album, it features the singles “Listen To Her Heart” and “I Need To Know”. Shortly after its release the band was dragged into a legal dispute when ABC Records was sold to MCA Records. Petty refused to simply be transferred to another record label without his consent. He held fast to his principles for nine long months, which eventually led to him filing for bankruptcy.
After the dispute was settled, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers released their third album Damn The Torpedoes (1979) that rapidly became triple-platinum. It includes “Refugee”, their U.S. breakthrough single.
Petty was appealling to an wide range of musical tastes as new wave. Punk and rocker fans alike were taking notice.
Though he was already extremely successful, Petty ran into record company trouble again when he and the Heartbreakers prepared to release Hard Promises (1981), the follow-up to Damn the Torpedoes. MCA wanted to release the record at the list price of $9.98, which was a high price at the time. Petty refused to comply to their wishes, threatening to change the album title to “The 8.98 Album” & actually withhold the album from the label. He organized a fan protest that forced the company to release the record at 8.98. Hard Promises became a Top Ten hit, going platinum and spawning the hit single “The Waiting.”
On their fifth album Long After Dark (1982) bass player Ron Blair was replaced by Howie Epstein, giving The Heartbreakers their line up until 1994. However, Petty had problems coping with the stress and success and decided to slow things down.
On their comeback album Southern Accents Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers picked up where they had left off. The recording was not without problems — Petty became frustrated during the mixing process and broke his left hand after punching through a wall. The album includes the hit single “Don’t Come Around Here No More” which was produced by Dave Stewart. The video for the single, featuring Tom dressed as The Mad Hatter mocking and chasing Alice from the book Alice in Wonderland, then cutting and eating her as if she were a cake, caused some controversy after it was criticized by feminist groups.
A successful concert tour led to the live album Pack Up the Plantation-Live. The band’s live capabilities were put to the test when Bob Dylan invited Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers to join him on his True Confessions tour through the U.S., Australia, Japan and Europe.
Also in 1987, the group released Let Me Up, a studio album made to sound like a live recording using a technique they borrowed from Bob Dylan. It includes “Jammin’ Me”, which Petty wrote with Dylan.
Petty also appeared in several episodes of It’s Garry Shandling’s Show, playing himself as one of Garry Shandling’s neighbors. This show appeared on the then-fledgling Fox network.
In1989, Petty released Full Moon Fever. Though nominally a solo project, other Heartbreakers and well-known musicians participated in the album’s production. Mike Campbell co-produced the album with Petty and Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra. It was in the Billboard Top Ten chart for over 34 weeks and earned triple-platinum status, along the way spawning such hits as “I Won’t Back Down”, “Free Fallin” and “Runnin’ Down A Dream”.
Prior to Full Moon Fever, Lynne and Petty worked together in the all-stars band Traveling Wilburys, which also counted Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Roy Orbison as members. Traveling Wilburys started as a joke in order to record a B-side for a George Harrison single, but the song “Handle With Care” was such a success that the group decided to record a full album, Traveling Wilburys. Roy Orbison’s sudden death cast a shadow on the success and shortly afterwards Del Shannon, whom the remaining Wilburys had in mind as a replacement, committed suicide. A second Wilburys album, mysteriously called Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3, followed but couldn’t quite live up to expectations.
Petty rejoined with the Heartbreakers for his next album, Into the Great Wide Open in 1991. It was again produced by Jeff Lynne and includes the hit singles “Learning To Fly” and “Into The Great Wide Open”, the latter featuring Johnny Depp, Gabrielle Anwar and Faye Dunaway in the video.
In 1994, Petty released his second solo album, Wildflowers, which included hit singles “You Don’t Know How It Feels”, “You Wreck Me”, “It’s Good to Be King”, “A Higher Place” and “Honey Bee”. A year later, a six CD Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers box-sets was released, entitled Playback. Approximately half of the tracks were previously available on albums, while the rest were B-sides, demos and live tracks. Two notable tracks are a version of Tom’s famous duets with Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”, which Tom sings alone, and the song “Waiting For Tonight,” which features vocals from The Bangles. The latter song also appeared on the two CD anthology released in 2000.
1996 saw the release of Tom’s solo soundtrack to the movie She’s the One, starring Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston. Three singles were released from this album, “Walls (Circus)” (featuring Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac), “Climb that Hill” and “Change the Locks”. The album also included a cover of a song by Beck, “Asshole”.
Three years after the release of She’s the One, Tom recorded the album Echo, with the Heartbreakers. Two songs were released as singles in the U.S., “Room at the Top” and “Free Girl Now”. The album reached number 10 in the U.S. album charts. A Tom Petty Anthology was released in 2000, compiled by film director Cameron Crowe.
Tom’s most recent album was The Last DJ, released in 2002. Many of the tracks are stinging attacks on the music industry, criticising the greediness inherent within it, as well as the tendency of record companies to water down popular rock acts and release throwaway pop music made by scantily-clad young girls. The album reached number 9 in the U.S. charts.
Petty has been honored with 16 Grammy Awards nominations since 1981. In that year he received his first nomination for “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” in the category of Best Rock Performance By A Duo or Group With Vocal. Petty earned a Grammy Award in 1989 for Best Rock Performance By A Duo or Group With Vocal for his work with the Traveling Wilburys. In 1994 he received another two Grammy Awards: Best Male Rock Vocal Performance (for “You Don’t Know How It Feels”) and Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical). Wildflowers also garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album.
Other Wildflowers achievements included Best Male Video Award for “You Don’t Know How It Feels” at the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers won the same award in 1994 with the video “Mary Jane’s Last Dance”. At the 1994 ceremony, Petty was also presented with the Video Vanguard Award, citing his longtime contributions to the field. In accepting the award though, while expressing his appreciation to MTV for the award, Petty denied his work was any more important than anyone else’s, saying that all artistic expression was equally valid and implicitly validating the work of up-and-coming and aspiring musicians.
As a songwriter, Tom Petty was acknowledged in May 1996 with the prestigious Golden Note Award from ASCAP. In April 1996, Petty received UCLA’s George And Ira Gershwin Award For Lifetime Musical Achievement. In 2002 the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
