Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

The Petty concert was fantastic! He had alot more energy than he last time I saw him here. I knew every song but two and he played some rocked up versions of slower songs from his new album. Stevie Nicks was a surprise guest and it was a real treat to see her. We kept saying "Stevie Nicks is n Spokane. Wow!!!"

The encore songs we great, he played "You Wreck Me", "Mystic Eyes" and "American Girl". They all sounded great and he appeared to be having a good time. The band is obviously very tight and there were some awesome riffs and solos. The house was packed except for a handful of seats on the nosebleeds. We had some of the best seats in the house. A few rows up from the floor on one side and about a third of the way back from he stage. We could clearly see everything and the sound was top notch.

Ran into a couple of people I know from an old job (happens every time without fail) and we traded quick life updates and phone numbers. The opening act was a guy called Trey Anastasio. I had never heard of him, but I guess he usesd to be the lead guy the band "Phish". Great guitar player, he put oin a good show too.

Unfortunately, we st next to the "heavy drinker, small bladder" crew, so we had o move alot to let them out and in.
