Tom P*tty & the Heartbreakers with Stevie Nicks - PBS Soundstage, Stephan C. O'Connell Center, Gainesville, FL, 9-21-2006

Sometimes, no news is good news. That's definitely been the case for my music blog in 2025, because for nearly all of this year so far, I haven't had any copyright issues to deal with. I guess I like to flirt with disaster, because I'm posting an album from the musical act I've had the most trouble with up until now. Look at the name of this album to see whom I'm referring to. I want to post all the good episodes of "PBS Soundstage" I can find, so I have to at least try to post this one. But get it quickly, while you still can.

I think the reason I've had a better time with copyright issues is because I've gotten even more cryptic with the names of the download zip files. That times well with the sudden lack of copyright notices. That said, I figure the fewer times I mention the name of the musical act, the better. So I won't say much here. I'm not even going to include the track list, because it includes the name of the musical artist many times. But it's included in the zip file if you want it.

I will say a little bit, however. The star of the show was born and raised in Gainesville, Florida, and in fact most of his band was from there as well. So this concert was a rare homecoming, giving it extra emotional appeal. For the band's entire 2006 summer tour, they were assisted by Stevie Nicks, despite the fact that she was a big star in her own right. She has publicly stated more than once that she wishes she could have been a member of the Heartbreakers, so this tour was probably the closest she came to fulfilling that wish. She didn't sing any of her own songs, but sang back up on some of songs by the main act (including duet in which she sang on the original). 

This album is a lot longer than the typical hour-long episode of this TV show. That's because this is the full concert, from the DVD. It hasn't been released in any audio format, however. 

Note that this musical act did another episode of "PBS Soundstage," back in 2003. I don't plan on posting that one though, because it's nearly identical to another concert that I have, which was recorded in the same city only a couple of days apart. 

If this post manages to stay up for a while, I may try to experiment with reposting some of the other disappeared posts by this musical act. I may also try to post the 2003 concert I just mentioned above. Whereas if this disappears, you can guess what happened. 

This album is an hour and 54 minutes long.

  1. Thank you very much for this one! I got it through pixeldrain, because the link for bestfile brought me to a 'file not found' message. So looks like someone shut that option down. Thanks again, G.
