Cruzer 1,992 Posted October 4, 2017 Those here can still get a Petty fix when they feel the need.... A local tribute band (PETTY THEFT) routinely plays in the area.. It's headed by a huge local sport radio personality. http://pettytheftdallas.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is going to bug me. Years ago, I heard a Tom Petty song that I had never heard before that I really liked. Haven't thought about it in a long time and can't at all remember it now.

GobbleDog 816 Posted October 7, 2017 * Hey.....I watched a video of Tom from his last concert last week at the Hollywood Bowl and noticed he had a bum leg, anybody know anything about that? I watched a few videos of his from 2017 and he seemed extremely slow and rather creepy sounding when he talked to the audience. Acted more like a 85+ year old man. For 66, he was in terrible condition. Drugs I guess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted October 18, 2017 I read somewhere that he had a bad hip. As I recall, he was in a pretty bad motorcycle wreck back in the 80s. I remember his return to the stage at one of those benefit concerts (farm aid or live aid?) was a fairly big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
