Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 08/30 @ The Greek

[Drunk Monk]

I luv Tom. He once had the audience at Cal Expo applaud the pit crew for pulling this asshole out of the crush. He was punching people - not high, just an asshole. Guess who was in that pit crew?  He stopped the song, pointed at him, and had us kick him out. Then he told the crowd to applaud us. We made direct eye contact from about 15 feet away and he gave me a nod. It was one of my proud moments in music.

Saw that whole show from the pit, except when I was carrying out passed out girls. Tom was amazing.

I really wanted to get up to the Greek for this run but just couldn't swing it schedule-wise. Glad you finally got to see him.
