Tom Petty - Live At The Fillmore 1997 (Deluxe Edition)

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers famously played 20 nights at the legendary Fillmore venue in San Francisco in 1997. Six of the shows were professionally recorded and this release features some of the high points of the residency. The small venue allowed the band to vary their sets each night; they included re-arranged and distinctive versions of their biggest hits, deep cuts, and many cover versions - paying tribute to the artists that Tom Petty and the band had been influenced by.

This deluxe edition of Live At The Fillmore 1997 includes 58 performances spread over 6LPs, 35 of which are covers, giving fans over 4 hours of music.

"I'm really proud of it," guitarist Mike Campbell told Ultimate Classic Rock in 2022. "It was one of the greatest parts of our career. We changed the songs every night and took some liberties with some of the arrangements here and there. I'm really glad we got that on tape. Of course, we had some guest artists like John Lee Hooker, Roger McGuinn, Bo Diddley... It's a really good illustration of the Heartbreakers just being spontaneous and in the moment without being too rehearsed."

"We played everything that came across our minds," Petty said in Paul Zollo's 2005 book Conversations with Tom Petty. "One night we played for four hours - which really isn't like the Heartbreakers. But we just got into a groove, and it went fine. The encore was an hour and a half. And it was great, because it was intimate. ... And you can do things in a smaller theater that you can't do in a coliseum, so it's kind of liberating."

"When Tom said, 'We're going to do all these concerts and do a bunch of different stuff,' I was like, 'We can't do that. That's chewing off way too much," keyboardist Benmont Tench told Rolling Stone in 2021. "But it wasn't chewing off way too much. It was the best thing we could have done. It refreshed the band as much as touring with Bob [Dylan] did in 1986 and 1987, and as much as doing 'Full Moon Fever' refreshed Tom. It was really great."

The Fillmore dates "may be the best time we've ever had musically," Petty told BAM magazine in 1997. "We're all getting along real well, everyone's happy. It's maybe the best time of our lives really."

The 6 LPs are packaged in a box with a 24 page (12" x 12") booklet (with previously unseen photographs); 3 custom guitar picks; a replica All Access laminate; facsimiles of 3 set lists; a reprint of the 8-page Fan Newsletter published in 1997; and an embroidered patch ("The Fillmore House Band" - a term that was bestowed on The Heartbreakers during the shows at the Fillmore).
