Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers- Rainy Day Women #12 & #35- Gainesville 11-4-93

/in

Maybe I chose this terrific version of Bob Dylan‘s “Rainy Day Women #12 and #35“, performed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at a homecoming Gainesville FL concert in November 1993, because the calendar says 4-20.  But then again, with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performing live, do you really need a reason? – Redbeard
