Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers-Mary Jane’s Last Dance- San Francisco 2-97

Here is a rare recorded concert performance of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers doing the one-off “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” which did not quite make the 1991 album Into the Great Wide Open  and instead was a surprise hit on their Greatest Hits package. Hyperbole warning: in my humble opinion, along with the E Street Band, this collective could be the best live working band on the planet on any given night, and was consistently over a forty year run. Exhibit “A” here is Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers‘ multi-night residency at the Fillmore in San Francisco in February, 1997. Turn this up as loud as your gear will go. – Redbeard
