Tom P*tty & the Heartbreakers - Live Cover Versions, 1997

Here's the next in my long series of dealing with Tom P*tty and the Heartbreakers' live covers. The second half of the last one had songs from the band's famous month-long series of concerts at the Fillmore in San Francisco in 1997. All of this album is from those concerts, and nearly all of the next one is as well.

(Note that I'm not using the full name of this artist due to concerns about copyright issues.)

The reason there are so many songs from those Fillmore shows is because they opened up their set list and played all sorts of unusual songs. This time around, nearly all of the songs are from the 1960s or early 1970s. The most recent song is "Crazy Mama" by J. J. Cale in 1971. There are three songs from before the 1960s, two of them Chuck Berry songs ("Around and Around" and "Johnny B. Goode"), plus "Country Farm."

During these Fillmore shows, the band had a number of guest stars join them, typically figures who were major influences on them, such as John Lee Hooker or Bo Diddley. I didn't include any songs where it was a guest star singing their own songs. However, I did include Carl Perkins singing his 1969 song "Restless," because he did it as a duet with P*tty.

The sound quality is generally excellent. Four of the songs are officially released, so of course they sound great. Most of the rest are from soundboard bootlegs or concerts that were played live on the radio at the time, so those all sound great too. In fact, I'd say the sound quality is the best of the series so far. If you've been missing out on this series, this is a good place to start.

This album is 46 minutes long.

I'm not including the track list due to copyright issues. But you can find it in the mp3 download file.

As I mentioned with the last album, four concert posters were made for the Fillmore concerts that all had the same artistic style. I'm using all four for albums in this series. As usual with concert posters, I had to do some severe cropping to get the rectangular poster into a square shape.
