'canes2004 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Both are excellent live! It will be a hit fest for sure so make sure your drunken-sing-along voice is in tip top shape. Oh, and have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Never saw Top, but saw Petty at Summerfest a few years back (when they closed the Pearl Jam show )....Petty and the HBs have been playing live for somewhere around 40 years, and it shows - professional without being slick, practiced without feeling phoned-in; and it's like a jukebox - you know EVERY song, and not in a bad way.

Perchoutofwater Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 ZZ Top, Tom Petty, and Joe Cocker will be playing at Jerry World in September. I've already got my tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Not to date myself, but I first saw Petty back in (I think) 1977 - his initial tour in support of his first album, which was released just a short time before I saw him (he opened for Roger McGuinn) at a small club just off a nearby college campus. None of us had ever heard of him at the time, but we were all hunting the local record stores for his album the next day. As I recall, Petty closed his act with his version of "American Girl" and then McGuinn closed his act by playing his rendition of the same song - with Petty coming back on stage to help with the vocals ... good stuff. Enjoy the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with ZZ Top during an MWR concert for the Marines a few years ago. Along with ZZ, Snoop Dog was the only other talent to hang out with the crew and thank our men/women OFF camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpwallace49 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 GREAT show . . ZZ Top was awesome, and Tom Petty rocked. Weather was perfect (it as an oudoor arena). It was worse than a Jimmy Buffett show for all the pot haze . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
