Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Whiskey, LA
January 21, 1980
As promised, here is another of my Petty shows. This has a great setlist and, as far as I can tell, never been seen anywhere before. This is the master tape that I got from the person who claimed to have taped it. I can’t confirm that, but I see no reason why she would lie. Anyway, the sound on 3/4’s of this is really, really good and then on the encores it drops off a bit. Judge for yourself.
If you missed my first Petty upload from the Palladium, it’s still running on the tracker.
This show has Petty and the band pulling out all the stops. It would be the last time that they play a small club, with Refugee taking off and the band moving on to bigger venues. 24 songs on this setlist with more than a few gems making a return to the Heartbreakers repertoire.
Please leave a comment about the sound, if you can. These old shows play a lot better on a stereo, rather than a computer.
Thanks again to Scott S. for the transfer and to Hitwitstuff for the inspiration. I’ll keep going as long as people enjoy these.
I may be off on song titles, if you know better then correct me. Anyone who wants to remaster or otherwise improve this recording is absolutely free to do so, as long as you share it here. And, if you’re good with artwork…share it.
