Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers : Houston Music Hall, Texas 12/06/79

YOU KNOW SOMETIMES,

I DON'T KNOW WHY

BUT THIS OLD TOWN 

JUST SEEMS SO HOPELESS

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers : 

Houston Music Hall, Texas 

12/06/79

 Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers 

had weathered some tough times

 prior to the release 

of their 1979

 breakthrough album,

 Damn The Torpedoes, 

and the tour that promoted it, 

broadcast on the

 King Biscuit Flower Hour. 

Damn The Torpedoes 

would refine the bands sound

 and become a statement 

of intent for the future.

 Their performance in 

Houston, TX in 1979 

boasts a sizable chunk 

of the then new album 

with cuts from their 

two previous LPs,

 in an explosive set

 that has since become

 a valuable testament

 to the early, 

and often brilliant, 

live career of that 

most American institution;

 Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. 

Timeline proudly presents 

a prized performance
