As I said above, I'd prefer they retire the fabricated half time concert shenanigens in its entirety.

Good recommendations, his Greatest Hits is superb and one of the few best of collections which does the artist justice, acts as a great starter and leaves newcomers wanting more.....

Tom Petty's Mudcrutch tours behind debut album


Mudcrutch, featuring Tom Petty and two members of The Heartbreakers, hits the road in April behind the band's first ever full-length album.

The group--which features Petty, Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench, and original Mudcrutch members Tom Leadon and Randall Marsh--kicks off the run April 12 in Malibu, CA, as part of a benefit bill for The Midnight Mission homeless shelter in downtown Los Angeles. The band has lined up 11 dates, all of them in California. The full schedule is below.

Pre-sale tickets are available beginning tomorrow (3/21) for members of the Highway Companion Club, Petty's online fan club. Check the club's website for more information.

Mudcrutch is picking up where it left off more than 30 years ago, when Petty and guitarist Tom Leadon formed a new act in 1970 following their exit from another band, The Epics. Guitarist Campbell and drummer Marsh joined soon after, and keyboardist Tench signed on in 1973.

Mudcrutch released a pair of singles in 1973 and 1975, respectively, but never recorded a full album. Last August, according to an article in Nashville's Tennessean newspaper, Petty provided the impetus for the band to reunite and head back into the recording studio.

"It was just entirely unexpected," Leadon, now a Nashville-based guitar instructor, told the paper. "It was like a dream, the whole thing. Tom couldn't have been nicer. It was great to hang out with him again."

The group's self-titled debut, containing 14 tracks, will hit stores April 29.

12 - Malibu, CA - Malibu Performing Arts Center
14 - Santa Cruz, CA - Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium
16, 17 - San Francisco, CA - Fillmore

not sure if anyone cares... but the new Mudcrutch cd is great.

Nothing mind blowing, which is what I love, but it's a good rock record.

They have a awesome version of "Shady Grove".

It debuted at #8 on the charts!

Mudcrutch has a MySpace page with a song posted- good stuff- may have to get that  CD

It's really cool to see Tom playing the bass!

Pretty damned good show, if you ask me.  I figured "Free Fallin'" as classic encore material (or a late, main set highlight).  The fact that he played it five songs in shows how deep his catalog goes.

I saw Tom and the boys a few weeks back in Hartford.  They always put on a good show.  I assume, "Gimme Some Lovin" was done with Steve Winwood?  We didn't get that treat.

Of course they would do American Girl the night before we celebrate our independence!

Great show dude, glad you enjoyed it!

I got the setlist from an online article, and I'm pretty sure it's at least partially incorrect, as I distinctly remember Steve Winwood doing "Gimme Some Lovin'" in his OWN set.

EDIT: OK...I think I was confused because of the wording in the article...it was a setlist from Chicago, the night before my show.  I'll look for a more accurate setlist.

here are a couple of recent articles, good stuff here!!!
