Tom Petty's greatest hits from performances in 1989 and two bonus tracks from 1986

Tom Petty was at the peak of his career and fast becoming a cornerstone of American blue-collar rock as well as an MTV regular. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' 1989 Strange Behaviour tour found the band in somewhat troubled territory promoting what was Petty's acclaimed debut solo album Full Moon Fever, a collaborative effort that involved most of The Heartbreakers and ELO's Jeff Lynne. To add to the discomfort, Petty and Lynne were also cavorting to great success as the Travelling Wilburys with Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan and George Harrison. The Heartbreakers gave an energetic and charged performance showing that the band were still very much intact and in control, teasing the crowd with a selection of their revered repertoire spanning eight albums and thirteen years of all-American appeal.

Rox Vox proudly presents Tom Petty's Greatest Hits, featuring tracks performed live at the Dean E. Smith Activity Center, Colorado on 13th September 1989, originally broadcast on WBCN-FM, providing an abundance of well-known hits to satisfy even the most hardened spectator with - Refugee, Breakdown, The Waiting, Don't Come Around Here No More, Free Fallin', an acoustic take on Even The Losers and his then current single, I Won't Back Down.

This release celebrates the blistering career and life of the late Tom Petty as well as highlighting two bonus tracks performed live with the legendary Bob Dylan from 1986, All Along The Watchtower and Knockin' On Heaven's Door in 1986.

It's presented here in superb fidelity and comes with background notes and images.
