Jim Feeley Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Apparently, he's been pulled off life support but there are no solid reports of his dying. At least it's not yet officially confirmed. Of course it's a tough situation. BTW- I thought this article on his tour that wrapped up last week give a little nice insight into Petty and his band: Inside Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' Last Big Tour Behind the scenes as Petty and his band battle the elements, remember old times and celebrate a 40-year bond http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/inside-tom-petty-and-the-heartbreakers-last-big-tour-w490231 Petty and the Heartbreakers were musicians I respected more than I enjoyed; that was probably largely a function of my (then young) age and tastes. Then I saw the band live. Man, they were solid. Really really solid. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Caught the Bowl show on the 21st. So much love and talent evident that night. Hard to comprehend he's gone. Thanks for the great gifts you gave us Tom. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimKeaney Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 "You Don't Know How It Feels" was one of my favorite songs to reference an unfamiliar PA system. You can almost mix the song with a graphic EQ. Timeless music - never sounded dated to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
