Tom Petty - 1982-12-04 - Utrecht Netherlands (FM)

I saw Tom Petty live once, on April 1, 1983 at the Brendan Byrne (later the Continental Airlines, and finally, the Izod) Arena. Nick Lowe was the lead-in band, making for quite a new wave night of music. Petty played all the big hits, plus surprised us all with a rendition of Hang on Sloopy!

This FM broadcast recording captures Tom Petty in London on December 12, 1982, 43 years ago today, and just a few months before I saw him.  Petty had released his his 5th album, Long After Dark, in November 1982. The disc was the first to feature Howie Epstein on bass and backing vocals.  Long After Dark climbed to #9 on the US Billboard charts, and spawned the MTV hit single, You Got Lucky.
