Tom P*tty & the Heartbreakers - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 4-21-2003

Tom P*tty and the Heartbreakers performed for the "PBS Soundstage" program twice, in 2003 and 2006. I recently posted the 2006 one. But I said I wasn't planning on posting the 2003 one, because it's too similar to another 2003 concert I wanted to post. However, I changed my mind, so here it is.

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

The other concert I'd been planning to post instead took place in the same city of Chicago just two days earlier, on April 19, 2003. So not surprisingly, the set lists are very similar. But that one is half an hour longer, and the sound quality is just as great. That's why I prefer that one. But more music is better. I figure I can post both of them eventually.

Virtually this entire concert has been released on DVD, which is why the sound quality is excellent throughout. However, it turns out the DVD song order was all mixed up, almost like someone threw them together at random. Part of that was due to a bunch of "DVD extra" songs at the end, selected from all throughout the concert. But there were other changes as well. So, being a stickler for accuracy, I carefully rearranged the song order to what was actually played.

Unfortunately, three songs didn't make the DVD at all, so they're not included here. There were two versions of "Peggy Sue," and one version of "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better," which was the last song played. 

This album is two hours and nine minutes long. 

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