All tracks from an FM broadcast transmitted live from the Stephen C O'Connell Center, Gainesville, FL, November 4th 1993.



2CD FM BROADCAST CAPTURES TOM PETTY s COMPLETE 1993 HOMECOMING CONCERT, HIS FIRST SHOW IN GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA FOR 20 YEARS Following the breakup of Heartbreakers Mudcrutch in 1975, Tom Petty and former band-mates Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell, joined up with some other Gainesville musicians, bassist Ron Blair and drummer Stan Lynch, to become Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, in 1976. But, even then, success was not immediate, and they had many struggles ahead. When their first album was released in November 1976, it initially received little attention, selling only a few thousand copies over the `initial months. They released two singles, 'Breakdown' and 'American Girl', and both failed to chart in the US. Apparently, potential punters were confused; they looked like a new wave band (the album cover photo especially), but the music was pure rock n' roll with a definite 60's throwback style. Fortunately, however, the UK seemed to 'get it', and they became popular there, with the album climbing to #24 on the British charts. Slowly, after news of their success in Britain, the album began picking up interest in the US, finally entering the Billboard charts almost a full year after its initial release. 'Breakdown' was re-released too, and this time made it into the top 40. Back in Gainesville, the community was very supportive and proud of Petty's success. However, by the late 80's, there was also some growing resentment, that Tom had forsaken his hometown, that now that he had made it big, he rarely came back to his local fans and his roots there. Thus, the show presented here, from 1993, represented his homecoming to Gainesville, his first major concert there since packing up his van and leaving with Mudcrutch, almost 20 years before. This show was just prior to the release of his greatest hits album and while he was in the process of moving to a new label. The greatest hits album also included 2 new recently recorded songs ; 'Mary Jane's Last Dance' and a cover of Thunderclap Newman's 'Something in the Air', both of which are included in this show. And the show was broadcast on the radio nationwide, in superb FM quality. So, here is Tom Petty's triumphant, yet somewhat overdue, return to Gainesville. Although some of the circulating FM versions of the show are shortened substantially, this is the full show in all its glory.

Here we have a double-live album, from a 1993 concert that was a radio broadcast at the time. I captures Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers in fine form, tumbling out the hits with a focus on the more recent material (Full Moon Fever, Into The Great Wide Open) though plenty of the old chestnuts (Southern Accents, American Girl, Refugee) get a hearing.

Sound quality? Well – it’s bootleg/radio-broadcast but it’s something you can cope with. It’s good enough. It’s what you expect really, cleaned up enough where, if you’re a fan, you’re certainly going to want to hear this. A pretty terrific setlist, with some nice changes – a reworking (already) of King’s Highway, and the then brand new song  Mary Jane’s Last Dance (they’re playing it live here to promote the upcoming Greatest Hits album it was included on) with a particularly explosive guitar solo and feeling, already, like a live stand-out with elongated jam-sequence.

Where Breakdown was the emotional centre of the official live album from the 80s, Pack Up The Plantation, here it is Don’t Come Around Here No More – the audience taking delight in screaming “Stop!” right on time. Every time.

It’s a bittersweet reminder that I’ve never seen one of the great live bands. And it also captures Petty and the Heartbreakers around the time I cared most about them. So for those reasons I enjoyed this immensely. And I reckon fans will want to get hold of it – to feel similarly enthralled no doubt.
