Hey Seth

So is there any guarantee the set will mainly be Heartbreakers songs with a few Mudcrunch songs sprinkled in, or is there danger than Tom will go full on Mudcrunch?

How do those ticket prices compare to Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Johnny Cash tickets at the Club? I know Cash was much, much cheaper…but that was many years ago so apples to oranges.

And as much as I love American Girl (the song), I still don't think he's in the same category as those other three, certainly not if he's heavy on Mudcrunch material.

$255 must be a VIP / meet and greet / soundcheck thing, or some combination.

Paul Simon was $75 (?).  I think Lou Reed was $45, but that was a while back.

I'm guessing the show will be mostly Mudhoney with a few TPH hits.

I doubt they will play ANY Heartbreakers.. I doubt they will play even one Heartbreakers song….. this is a MUDCRUTCH show.. MUDCRUTCH was a band for many many years before Petty and the Heartbreakers.. They will have two full albums by the time of this show.. plus whatever they used to play in the old days including I'm guessing many covers… they were a fixture in Jacksonville for years…playing bars I assume..

This is kind of pricier than those shows you mention.. all of which I was at….. I noticed Philly FIllmore said tickets were $64..  

It just comes down to an individual choice..sometimes if you want to see a show you pay what it costs even if its more than you usually pay.. seeing Petty in a club- for me- has always been a dream so I'm going to try to make it happen! The way I look at it a ticket in the first 20 rows of a Petty show at Jiffy Lube would probably set you back $200 anyways… and I've seen Petty and the Heartbreakers do all the songs we know.. I stopped going to Petty shows cause I dont' need to hear them and I dont' go out of my way to go to Nissan.

Petty is a Wilbury.

The end.

Seems like if Paul Simon or Lou Reed had played some Mudcrunch songs instead of their own, they would have been able to charge more for the tickets.

Petty has made this decision a lot easier by not even playing DC the last few tours….. I think (but am not sure) that he hasn't played here since 2010, maybe 2012….. and I don't count the Lock'n Fest that he played a couple years ago, that was probably a longer drive from DC than Philly is….

Air!  They just announced a US festival in LA, surely they need a couple gigs as warm-up

Hey Seth, saw you on the 1980's Washington, DC special on PBS last night. No clue how old the program was, but it was interesting!

My favorite French band. Yup. Their live shows are the best. So happy to see they're performing again.

Dark Tranquillity is on tour later this year and has three days off after their Philly show!

Bringing Air into town would just be the best!

Any chance of sneaking in Sigur Ros Oct 9th between the Philly and Asheville dates?

not to be one of those people… but do you have any presale info?

well the band website may be your best bet when they announce shows…. the venue site is saying a live nation presale starts in 6 days.. so on the 14th.. and general on the 15th.. cost $65


this would be a great show to see at the 930 but it looks like the routing has already been made…

They have not announced any US dates and only festival dates so far, but it would be awesome to see the Avalanches if they tour here!

New album!!! Who else has waited since 2000 for this album?
