I saw Tom Petty waaaay back in the 70's. I'm thinking it might of been 1978 or 1979ish. There was an old theater called The Uptown (I think) around 52nd and North or there about. I saw Devo there too. The Tom Petty concert is one of my favorite that I've ever gone too. The Devo concert on the other hand was pretty darn bad. They were a new band and apparently didn't have much money because when one of the band members threw one of their hats out to the audience, a roadie had to run out and wrestle it from the guy who caught it and take it back to the band. Then one of their speakers caught on fire. We thought it was part of the show but it wasn't.
