Mastering Notes:
- Tape flip during the applause after “I Won’t Back Down”. No music was lost, but some of the following “Chat” is missing.
- Tape flip during the applause after “Don’t Come Around Here No More” – seamlessly spliced, no music lost.
Show Notes:
This is a sort of ‘reseed/remaster’.
In light of Tom’s death, this was not a fun show.
A huge component of that was the venue itself…it seemed the lines painted on the bleachers were no more than a foot wide (dividing the seats), and one almost had to stand sideways if you wanted to stand. I can’t even imagine sitting for a whole show there.
The other component of that was Tom himself…I had no idea he was on the horse at the time, I think this was the final show of the tour, and it may have been the tail end of that use, but in my opinion, he was in pretty rough shape. I say this in no sense of disrespect, as the show itself sounds pretty fantastic.
The one moment that sticks out is “Swingin'”…as there was this intro to the song that to my ears sounds like “mumblemumblemumbleSWIIIIIIIIIIIIINGINmumblemumblemumble”.
The Heartbreakers pretty much picked him up and carried him on their back this night…I’ll leave it at that.
BIG THANKS to Dennis for bringing this one back to torrent land.
I’ll continue on the “golden road of fuck off”.
More, later, as always…
—ballsdeep OUT!!!
Live Petty
