Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Concert: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Crosby, Stills & Nash in Hartford, CT
The focus was on guitarists during Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers ' Tuesday night (8/17) show at Hartford, CT's Comcast Theatre with Crosby, Stills & Nash -- and not exclusively for good reasons.Album: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, "Mojo" (Reprise)
Tom Petty has been making solid albums with and without the Heartbreakers for nearly 35 years. It's the sort of legacy that brings in loyal fans by the thousands to see the band playing its greatest hits on the road, but those same fans aren't necessarily clamoring for new material. (In fact, at least part of the album's impressive debut at No. 2 of The Billboard 200 can be attributed to a promotion that had a download of album bundled with ticket purchases.) And that's a shame, because on "Mojo," Petty and company prove they can still deliver quality classic rock that does their legacy proud.In Pictures: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers in Oakland, CA
