Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - VH-1 Storytellers, Soundstage One, Burbank, CA, 3-31-1999

Here's a nice little concert from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It's not the full show, but this is what was shown on the VH-1 TV show "Storytellers." Some performers on that show played in a solo acoustic format. Petty did some of that, but most of the songs were performed with the rest of the Heartbreakers.

However, what differed from a typical concert by the band is that Petty stuck to the format of talking a lot between songs, mostly to explain what his inspirations were behind the songs he chose. He was very entertaining and charming with his dialogue.

The album is only 43 minutes long, which is the length of an hour long TV show minus the commercials. About 13 minutes of that is made up of Petty talking between songs.

The sound quality is consistently excellent, like a professionally recorded live album in front of a small audience. I don't believe any of the performances have been officially released.

For the album cover, I found a screenshot of Petty from a YouTube video of the "Storytellers" show. I later upgraded it using the Krea AI program.

  1. Note that I first posted this album back in 2019. I removed it, along with all other albums from this artist, way back when, due to a copyright issue. But since I want to post all the Storytellers albums I can find (that aren't officially released), I'm going to give this another try. Get it while you can!
