• Track Listing

The mother of all live Petty comps! Covering 1978–2007, this 51-track set (48 on the CDs) is culled from hundreds of hours of live recordings covering every era of Petty and the Heartbreakers on tour. No fixes here, no overdubs—just the band and their renowned musicianship, spontaneity and songcraft as they put it out there for their legions of loyal fans. In addition to dozens of hits and key album tracks, you’ll hear the covers they’re known for plus some unexpected adaptations: the theme from Goldfinger; the Zombies’ I Want You Back Again; the Grateful Dead’s Friend of the Devil; the early Fleetwood Mac track Oh Well; Booker T. & the MGs’ Green Onions; James Brown’s Good, Good Lovin’, and more. The 4-CD set has a 12-page booklet; the beautiful vinyl set boasts seven 180-gram audiophile LPs plus a deluxe book full of reminiscences by Tom and the band. Heartbreak-ingly good!
