A brand new episode with Sarah Freels and Adam Rice at the desk, as it were!
2:00 p.m. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Live at The Paradise Club, Boston, MA (1978)
This is a retro rare gem. I’ll be honest, we edited out some Levi’s ads because this was a radio broadcast, so it may be a bit choppy. This is a very young, energetic Tom Petty and his crew.
5:00 p.m. The Grateful Dead: Live at the Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco (1966)
Our favorie jam band in an early live performance here.
10:00 p.m. The #BecomeUngovernable House Playlist

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Thought we’d do something a bit different today, so we’re taking a close-up look at three Tom Petty albums, two with the Heartbreakers and one solo effort, Highway Companion, one of my all-time favorite Petty albums.
Here’s the line up:
10:00 a.m. Stevie Ray Vaughan Live at Montreaux (1982 & 1985)
Today would have been SRV’s 65th birthday, born in the great year of 1954 (along with yours truly). This guy’s life was cut far too short. One of the greatest blues singers and guitarists ever.
1:00 p.m. Tom Petty’s Highway Companion (released July 25, 2006)
Don’t bother to listen to the critics. All they ever wanted this guy to do is rock out. He’s a whole lot more than that. In fact, his bandmates never understood why he didn’t make an all-acoustic album. He apparently didn’t think he was a good enough guitar player to go there. (He may be no Mike Campbell, but he’s no slouch on that thing.) This is, in my humble opinion, one of the finest albums I’ve heard.
4:00 p.m. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ Hypnotic Eye (released July 29, 2014)
The Heartbreakers’ thirteenth and final studio album was one of the best ever. Up until this release, I truly believed that Damn The Torpedoes, would go down in history as the band’s crowning achievement. Not so. (We will get to DTT also.)
7:00 p.m. Tom Petty & The Hearbreakers’ Mojo (released July 15, 2010)
The Heartbreakers’ twelfth album was recorded live in the studio with no overdubs, and was created as a blues album. If you are a music aficionado and care to explore, there’s a cool little story behind this one.

Tom Petty left this world two years ago today at the age of 66. For his fans, his friends, his bandmates, and his family it was all too soon. This month we celebrate all the great music he gave us, and remember how much he loved his fans.
11:00 a.m. Abby Martin with Richard Wolff: Understanding Marxism and Socialism
2:00 p.m. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Live: Pack Up the Plantation!
This was the Heartbreakers’ first official “live” album, released in November of 1985. It was primarily recorded at The Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles, but several tracks were recorded earlier.
5:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of The Shelters
Let’s not forget that Tom Petty was also a producer and mentor to a band called The Shelters. He produced their first album, and was at work on their second with them when he passed. It has since been released, and we have updated the playlist accordingly.
7:00 p.m. Tom Petty’s Final Interview
This is a wide-ranging interview about the future. It’s clear that Tom Petty was intending to be around for a while yet.

Here’s a chance to dig deep into the Tom Petty library and pull out songs you probably do not hear much on your local station. Most bands would kill for The Hearbreakers B-sides.

A play list focusing on the subject of the new documentary, “Echoes in the Canyon,” which chronicles the birth of the California sound as it came together in Laurel Canyon. Featuring the songs of The Mamas & The Papas, The Lovin’ Spoonful (pictured), Jackson Browne, The Byrds, and Joni Mitchell.
5:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of The Shelters (Updated)
When we put together this play list originally (a few months ago), the Shelters were riding the success of their first album under the guidance and production of Tom Petty. Since then, their second album has been released and we have updated the play list to reflect that.
7:30 p.m. The Ungovernables Report
News and notes from the world with Sarah Freels and Adam Rice putting their own little twist on it.
