I am a huge fan of this guy!! Always have been since he first came onto the scene back in the late 70s!! He has just completed a phenomenal tour of the USA and Canada in support of his latest CD, Mojo and he has sold out mega arenas right accross the North American continent!!! The thing is, he hasnt been over here to this country in about 20-odd years, which is a total shame, mainly due to his fear of overseas flying and also, if it wasnt for that, he probably wouldnt come anyway, cos its just not financially viable enough for him to come over here as he really hasnt got a large devoted fanbase over here enough to warrant him coming over, which is weird considering it was this country that started his long career!! The thing is, if him and his band The Heartbreakers did come over here, they would have to virtually start out in small clubs, which would be weird considering their ages now(all in their late 50s/early 60s)

Anyway, I was wondering, if there are any other fans of Tom Petty over here?? I have moreorless all his CDs, including Mojo and also I have a load of bootlegs of virtually all the gigs of this past tour and he is really on top form and one, if not THE top band in the USA right now!!!

Any fans???

I'm English born and bred and moved to the US just over 18 months ago - at the end of July I was lucky enough to see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers live here in Philadelphia.
Brilliant.
Up there with Springsteen and the Foo Fighters for me.
American Girl is my favorite followed by Don't Come Around Here No More I think.

The stuff from MOJO is damn good too!
