On this date in rock history, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers played the first of seven sold out dates at The Fillmore in San Francisco in 1999. It was a return to playing live after a two year break. Performances from The Fillmore gigs were filmed and released later in the year on the home video, High Grass Dogs: Live from The Fillmore. The 90 minutes of footage includes renditions of songs from throughout Petty’s career. A strange name for a concert, but then, maybe it means something to Mr. Petty. If you saw them at the Super Bowl half-time show, you know that Petty and the Heartbreakers are still out there layin' 'em down. Here's a preview from the Petty documentary film, "Runnin' Down a Dream." Thanks to www.garylessard.com for the trivia, please visit tompetty.com, and keep on rockin'!

Total synchronicity charlie mac -- I was in a sudden mood to hear Petty & so pulled up another Wilbury twist & meanwhile you're posting this gem. This preview is a double play ball for me because I actually didn't even know about the movie & most definitely had never had a chance to watch the opening chords to The Waiting before.
