Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – The Live Anthology (4-CD)
Product Details
Tom Petty spent decades insisting that the Heartbreakers were, above all else, a live band, and four discs pulled from nearly thirty years of touring makes that case without argument. Mike Campbell's guitar work, often undersold on the studio records, gets room to breathe here, and the interplay between him and keyboardist Benmont Tench is what separates this band from their American rock contemporaries.
THE LIVE ANTHOLOGY brings together material from 1978-2007, culled from hundreds of hours of live concert recordings covering every era of TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS tours and represents the best tracks as chosen by producers Tom Petty, Mike Campbell and Ryan Ulyate. There are no fixes or overdubs. The newly mixed original recordings showcase the invention, spontaneity, craft and the musicianship that has made TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS among the most celebrated live performers of their time. Along with powerful interpretations of their own classic hits and originals, THE LIVE ANTHOLOGY features the band tackling some of their best-loved cover material, from classics to obscure beauties to unexpected adaptations like the theme from Goldfinger, the Zombies' “I Want You Back Again”, the Grateful Dead's “Friend of the Devil”, early Fleetwood Mac's “Oh Well”, Booker T. and the MGs' “Green Onions”, James Brown's “Good, Good Lovin'” and many more.
