So for the second weekend in a row (and next weekend will mark the THIRD) I trekked out to Nissan Pavilion for what ended up being one of the best shows I have ever seen hands DOWN.
The weather last weekend was near-record breaking. Apparently some of the hottest June weather we've had here since like the late 1800s or something like that. REALLY... really... REALLY hot. So tailgating was more of a stand-in-the-little-speck-of-car-shade-and-drink-water concept. When the sun went down the temperature did not really drop, so we resigned ourselves to the sweat and being part of the sold out crowd. At one point during the concert, Petty was like "well how appropriate to be playing here on a hot Southern night." Crowd went wild.
The concert was just so good. I feel like I'm being annoying with how much I'm raving about it, but it was just SO good! The sound was great. There was a LOT of aggressive dancing going on.
He played so many of our favorites - Mary Jane's Last Dance, Won't Back Down, Even the Losers, Free Fallin', Honey Bee, Rebels, You Don't Know How it Feels, Learning to Fly, Don't Come Around Here No More, Refugee, Running Down a Dream, American Girl... I was only really sad about not hearing Wildflowers :(
Muffin and I kept shaking our heads and commiserating that we were born in the wrong music era. Pretty awesome we still get to see some of these legends while they're still around and touring!
