Favorite moment: We were two rows back and then allowed to come up during the last few tunes. My 16yr old daughter was floating on clouds the rest of the night. @

Setlist: Most of the classics plus five of MOJO..........this new album, all 15 tunes are excellent. If you dont have it yet pick it up soon!! @

Opening act(s): Caught the last few songs of the Drive By Truckers and regret not seeing the whole set. They sounded great and were having fun and that is what it is all about. @

Incredible show, talent and music. Sound was excellent, band was right on, Tom egaged the audinence and rocked out on all tunes and the whole band was eating it up and just having fun. The new songs fit right in as the new album is the best in years and stands up to the past. The venue was superb as was the sell out crowd which is per the norm.

This was y 10th show and I have never seen a bad one from him and never have seen anything discouraging from the fans. All have been in the groove throughout the show and the band just takes you to another level of peace and contentment. Perfect band for the ages!

Awesome. The Beacon is a great place to see a concert, small and intimate. Tom and the Heartbreakers did a terrific job with playing fan favorites with an acoustic/bluesy twist. Love it.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are as fantastic as they've always been. I loved every second of every song -- and when it was over I was high from the memories I have of the times when I first enjoyed this music and how perfectly he still sounds. Who else can rock a blonde page boy hair style like TP?

Overall I enjoyed myself as did the entire audience. Although it was stated that the show would start at 8PM sharp, the audience was late and the band did not come on until 8:25PM (approx.). The band sounded great and the song selection was varied. My big complaint is that they played 2 hours (including encore) and that was all! I paid a lot of money for the ticket and I expect someone with such a large amount of songs to play at least 5 more. Leonard Cohen played for 3.5 hours, so I expect a whipper-snapper like Tom Petty could put in a little more time, especially considering this is the first time he's played at the Beacon. Again, it was a very enjoyable concert, but give the fans more!

What a great show - I am a die heard fan and his show on 5/21/13 was a real treat. He started by saying that he was going to play some classics and he sure did. Southern Accents and Damn the Torpedoes were represented as well as Green Onions, Grateful Dead and an acoustic of Rebels - unforgettable. Plus the band look rested and like they were having the time of their lives. I believe they is just the best and one of the most under rated acts around. He is my favorite, always and forever!

Tom is always a great show. He has so many amazing albums to pull from that each show I have seen has been different. He may not prance around like Jagger, but he doesn't need to...His talent is more than enough to impress and keep you entertained.

The Beacon is a great setting for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. A little to loud this time. The show, as advertised, was not a greatest hits play list. That being said, there were many songs that one does not hear the boys do, which is good and bad. Not knowing the deep cuts kind of takes away from the crowd participating in the energy. Once the hits are played everyone is up and singing along. Some nights there were three songs in the Encore, we heard only two. I think Learning to Fly, at the Beacon, would make the place take off.

The beacon is such a fab venue- like sitting in my
Livingroom for a private show . Employees there are mellow too.
NOW TPath said tonight would be " deep cuts"
Took my breath away
A jam session more than a concert
No breaks one encore
Totally uncommercial!!!!!!
Perfection -a magnificent melange of music
Can't wait to see them in INDI June 15! :)

The kickoff concert was everything I had hoped for. Tom, Ben, Mike, Steve and the rest played with perfection. All of the songs, one right after the other, were hits that everybody knew and could sing along to.

One of the greatest performances I have seen from any band. And I've seen a lot of concerts.

63 and still going strong. It looks like this is not his last tour.

TOM PETTY WRITES GREAT SONGS AND THE HEARTBREAKERS ARE A GREAT BAND, BUT OL' TOM DOESN'T EXERT HIMSELF TOO MUCH...COULDN'T HELP THINKING "BRUCE'S OPENING NUMBER BLOWS TOM'S BEST AWAY..." SOUND IN LEFT UPPER BALCONY WAS MUDDY AND NO "BREAKDOWN" "EVEN THE LOSERS" "HERE COMES MY GIRL" "DON'T COME AROUND HERE NO MORE" AND A DOZEN OTHERS WEREN'T PLAYED SO SOME VERY DEEP TRACKS COULD BE...FINE MUSICIANS WITHOUT VERY MUCH FIRE IN THE BELLY ON OPENING NIGHT...

Having seen Petty many times over the past three decades, I can say that I've never had the opportunity to see him and the Heartbreakers in such a small venue. Really, the Beacon is perfect for this band providing exceptional sound and the closeness to the audience that is missing in the big arenas. Great idea for Tom to go deep into the catalog and pull out some unplayed gems. Obviously, this crowd was not full of hit seekers, but in case one wanted to here some radio stuff, a few of those were thrown in for good measure. Tom Petty is rock and roll and will always be rock and roll.

I love TP! This was my 5th show.
But for him to only play 5 hit songs the whole night is unexceptable with today's ticket prices. There are at least 25 TP/ TW's hit songs that i would have loved to hear. I wasn't the only unhappy fan. I could tell by the zero energy in the crowd.
Everyone applauded respectfully buy no one was standing or grooving.
I also brought my girlfriend for her 1st TP show and I was hoping she would hear some of her favorites or even mine. No such luck.
If this is what TP wants to do, don't trick us into buying $150 tix expecting to rock out to all the hits !
JUST CALL THE TOUR "THE B SIDES" or "EVERYTHING BUT MY HITS" and I'll know not to go to the show. I go to about 15 concerts a year and a lot of TPs contemporarys play their respective greatest hits. ( VH, Stones, Motly Crüe , Heuy Lewis ect. ) all worth the money spent for the tix.
This will be my last TP concert unless otherwise advertised.
