Tom Petty

From The Plain Dealer, November 4, 1979.

This was a fun show, sold out well in advance. This was one of the only shows I ever had tickets for in any of the theatres. I went to this with my friend Nancy, we sat in the front row of the loges, right on the center aisle. In a vaudeville house these are the best seats in the house. I don't recall much, they were playing Breakdown for the sound check when we walked in. Nancy had their new long player and was saying that it was pretty good. They put on a good show. This was at the beginning of the tour, by the time the tour ended these guys were huge stars. It would be decades before they'd play venues this small again.
