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.
