As with other concerts I have attened since starting this blog, I am going to do my conert review blog post.
Last night I went and seen Tom Petty and the drive by truckers play thier music. I didn't really get into the drive by truckers that much. If I knew any of their songs to anticipate, I might have enjoyed them some more. As it was however, I didn't really know any of their songs and didn't much enjoy them. You can throw all the tough and bad ass things you know into a song, but I'm not young enough for that to impress me. It seemed like I should have thought they were good because they sang about drining too much and getting into fights. All in all, not the type of music I enjoyed.
The main event however was a different story. Admittedly I don't know Tom Petty's whole library and wasn't entirely sure what he was going to play. After freefalling, the mary jane song, the song about solving mysteries, and one other one song, I don't know what music is his. The first half of the show, he played his hits and the riverbend audience was loving it. The second half of the show they played some good music, but it was from their newer mojo album and I really couldn't get into it. For the encore they did play some more of their classic hits. I remember wondering what they could play as an encore that they haven't played yet, but then they played that mystery song and refugee. So overall it was a good show. My brother ended up going and buying lawn seats. The crowd back in the lawn area was as crowded as I had ever seen it. I don't know of any better concerts that I could go to. Newer bands would just have a bunch of young hippies running around. Country bands would have too many rednecks going around drinking and spitting. I'm glad I picked out this concert to go to.
