Recorded in 1979 and broadcast three years later, this Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers show captures the band on the verge of stardom. Just before releasing their breakthrough album Damn The Torpedoes—and reportedly weeks before Petty’s tonsillectomy—the band powered through early hits like Breakdown, Fooled Again (I Don’t Like It), and You’re Gonna Get It!, alongside blues covers like Route 66 and I’m A King Bee. Performances like this set the stage for Petty’s rise to mainstream fame.
