Good morning, workers! We’re back at it again and we’ve got a bunch of great music, including part one (of three) Doctor Petty and The Heartbreakers live at the Fillmore ’97 which will air over the first few days of this week.

Here’s your musical Monday lineup:

10:00 a.m. Good Luck, Bad Luck, Dumb Luck: Various Artists

Luck. It’s a funny thing. Sometimes it’s good. Sometimes it’s bad. And sometimes you fall into just plain dumb luck. You’ll hear Stevie Wonder, Steve Winwood, the Beatles, Jethro Tull, Fats Domino, John Lee Hooker, Joe Walsh, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Warren Zevon, The Byrds, Linda Ronstadt, Taj Mahal, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Alison Krauss & Union Station and more!

7:00 p.m. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Live at The Fillmore, San Francisco, CA, Recorded January 31-February 7, 1997, Part One

Back in 1997, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers played a 20-night, sold-out residency at The Fillmore West where they broke the rules and the mold, tossing out their set lists and allowing the fans to suggest songs to sing. The result? Each night, a different set list. Petty announced to the crowd, “We all feel this might be the high point of our time together as a group. It’s going to be hard to get us off this stage tonight.” And that was a very good thing. We will air the first part tonight. The next two parts will be aired Wednesday and Thursday of this week. (Because Tuesday is Bluesday only.)

Not only is this a great day to tune us in, but it’ll be a great week to tune us in as we’ll focus on our two House Bands, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and The Beatles. Join us. We’re totally free and we accept no commercial advertising. We’re not-for-profit music 24/7.
