    I’ve never seen Petty with a Hiwatt before. My favorite amp with one of my all time favorite rock’n’rollers.

    KinkySmallFace1991 Will you come back to me, Sweet Lady Genevieve?

    He used a Hiwatt 50 watt head on the road along with a Marshall JTM45 from about 2005-2008, both of which drove one of the two Vox Super Beatle cabinets that were behind him. One Super Beatle head drove the other, which I know he used for the tremolo on "Mystic Eyes".

    He said he loved playing his Rickenbackers (particularly the 12-strings) through the Marshall and/or Hiwatt because it gave this really wild and different sound.

    He would switch to Fender Vibro Kings, starting out with blonde tolex versions, then switching to custom-made, one-of-a-kind Tweed versions in 2012, which he used onstage from then till the end of his life.

    I'd love to have a Hiwatt 20-watt combo, one day. Don't have the space to justify a half-stack or a Vibro King.

    I missed him on those tours.

    If you’re serious about the 20-watt combo, check out Hi-Tone Amplification. They make replicas that sound identical to vintage Hiwatts...I have one of each and can attest to their quality.

    This is supposed to be a thread for Tom Petty photos, not Willie Nelson.

    this one I took of his show at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto in 2010. I was accredited media and the photo release was quite generous, stipulating that if they wanted to use your photo for a live release, they'd pay you a fair amount (I forget how much). Of course, they didn't actually provide a contact to send the completed release back to, so...

    great show, except they didn't play "American Girl".

    I like these shots a lot, not just because I took them, but I think they capture him at his peak, or at least one of his peaks. I don't have a favorite, I like them all in general. A fun show to photograph for sure.

    Wow. You have a real talent. Some lovely shots. I’m guessing they were performing Insider on this one.

    Oh thanks, glad you liked them and commented. I recall "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" being performed that night, perhaps another one too?

    I'm always finding fault with my pictures, and try to not go there anymore. It helps to be right up front, I'll admit that.
