Consol Energy Center, Pittsburgh, PA..... I had never seen them and my brother-in-law was going so I thought, why not?

Consol Energy Center, Pittsburgh, PA My third time seeing Macca live. Compared to seeing him in 1989 , it was noticeable that his voice had lost a bit of strength but the 36 (or so) song setlist shows his stamina was strong as ever. A splendid time was had by all.   My crummy pic of the pre-show visuals.   setlist: Venus and Mars Rock Show Jet All My Loving Letting Go Got to Get You Into My Life Highway Let Me Roll It The Long and Winding Road Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five Let 'Em In My Love I'm Looking Through You Two of Us Blackbird Here Today Dance Tonight Mrs. Vandebilt Eleanor Rigby Something Sing the Changes Band on the Run Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da Back in the U.S.S.R.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

First Niagara Pavilion, Pittsburgh, PA My wife and I went, with my wife coming along a little reluctantly. But as the show progressed, at nearly every song, my wife exclaimed, "Hey, I love this song!" It just goes to show how many great songs Petty made. setlist:  Listen to Her Heart You Don't Know How It Feels I Won't Back Down Free Fallin' Oh Well Mary Jane's Last Dance Honey Bee Breakdown Jefferson Jericho Blues Good Enough Running Man's Bible First Flash of Freedom I Should Have Known It Learning to Fly Don't Come Around Here No More Refugee encore break Runnin' Down a Dream American Girl
