Tom Petty-The Live Anthology-Early Nov.

www.rollingstone.com should have more information, but I just read in the new print edition that Tom Petty-The Live Anthology is coming out in early November. It will come in a 4-CD box set and as well as a Deluxe Edition. I just wanted to pass this along and then the details can get filled in.

 

Sounds Great!

 

Hopefully it's a ton of stuff from the late 70's/early 80's when they were a kick *** live band.

 

Hopefully it won't be "mastered" to death.

 

Wow, this is great. I've always had the same idea for these guys. I hope there's lots of early stuff on there (back when people used lighters).

 

he said he loved the sound quality of neil youngs archives so at the very end of mixing he asked about putting out blu ray. And we get blu ray with every other format for the $100 set. Cool if you choose it, otherwise the cheap version of four cd's for under $15. real cool.

Tom Petty is da man, I guess hitting his head after slipping on pee pee at the Costco didn't screw up his great judgement!

 

Sounds enticing. I'm not a huge Petty fan, but if this is a good career-spanning set, I'm there!

 

Fantastic - another artist doing what Springsteen should have done years ago but apparently can't figure out how to do.

 

Springsteen was one of the first to do this with Live 1975-1985. It was a boxed set.

 

I know - it's awful. One song from 75 and a ton of stuff from the previous year's tour.

Anyway, good for Petty.

 

"Awful" is a real exaggeration, IMO. Could it have been better? Sure, but "awful" is way too harsh. While not perfect, I think
"1975-85" is pretty damned good...

 

Huh?

 

Sure hope you're right!

Nothing they ever did after that golden period compares IMO.

 

Only 4CDs? Sure, it's better than nothing. But I'd prefer a series of "official bootlegs" containing complete shows from each tour. Hell, I'd gladly shell out for a box set containing the complete 20 show run at the Fillmore from 1997. If the Allman Brothers could release their Beacon box, surely TP fans deserve a Fillmore box.

OK, I was also suckered in by curiosity over this post...... A Google search on "Tom Petty Costco" comes up with nothing and adding "pee pee" didn't help either.

 

+1

I would be a VERY happy man if the complete recording of the "Official Live 'Leg" promo, recorded at Paul's Mall in Boston in 1977 was on this. If there is plentiful stuff from 1976 - 1983, I will be quite pleased. Personally, that period is my favorite for live performances by TP.

 

I thought someone would've guessed...from King Of the Hill's Wiki page
Elroy "Lucky" Kleinschmidt (voiced by Tom Petty) - Elroy is Luanne's dimwitted, itinerant, but generally benign redneck husband. He lives on the remainder of the $53,000 "settlement monies" he received after "slipping on pee-pee at the Costco" (which he almost always refers to as "mah pee-pee money"), and is the father of Luanne's child. Peggy tried very hard to break he and Luanne apart, but after Luanne's pregnancy was revealed, she and Hank reconciled the two, giving them a shotgun wedding on Lucky's request. He is also a former guitarist for John Redcorn's band, Big Mountain Fudgecake, and occasionally plays gigs in biker bars. His favorite band is Brownsville Station. Surprisingly, he has moments of insight that prove he isn't quite as stupid as he appears, which may stem from his being consistently drunk. Despite how he may come off, he loves Luanne very much, and is very involved with her family. He enjoys the "gentlemanly pursuits" of mudding, stickin', cat-fisting, stumping, and Truck Racing.

 

I was at that show There's also a great show from Boston's Paradise Theater from a year later(which I was at) and a rockin' show from '77 in SF. Plus the Old Grey Whistle Test, a show at Boston's Rat, and, well, there are others. A great period.

 

The article mentions that the set has no studio trickery involved. That scores big points with me. The basic edition will be a 4-CD box set priced at around $25.00 while the Deluxe Edition will be around $100.00 and include a 5th CD of extra tracks, bonus DVDs, a vinyl EP of a 1976 club date and a Blu-ray disc of every track in 5.1.

 

Then you MUST have been at the twice postponed, and subsequently KILLER show at the Orpheum in 1979, yes? I thought I would spontaneously combust when he did DC5's "Anyway You Want it"! I wish I had seen those other shows too, but I wasn't quite "emancipated" from my mother's iron fist at that point.

Did you happen to catch Dwight Twilley at Paul's Mall? I was supposed to go to that and was quashed....

 

And Wildflowers is my favorite...to each their own....

 

4-CD Box for $25? Sweet.

 

Those Caravan shows with Del Fuegos and Georgia Satellites were pretty wild, setlist-wise. He didn't play much from Let Me Up (overall, that was good, but he did miss some good songs) and did some wacky covers, liek The Image of Me, For What It's Worth, and Should I Stay or Should I Go.

For years, Petty nuts have been putting together compilations of live oddities (mostly covers), often in pretty bad sound quality. This will hopefully make them mostly obsolete, and maybe we'll get the live Spike and LittleBit of Soul on cd finally.

We really don't need live versions of Refugee and the rest, but with 4 cds worth, I think there should be enough for everyone.
