Tom Petty is playing Newport

[Mojooo]

But Newport, Wales not Newport, Isle of Wight (Fesitval)

Surprised there's only 1 UK date considering they were more popular here than the US to start with.

I saw them in the US about 5 years ago and the crowd had was really varied, from white-haired hippies and hairy bikers to college kids and hipsters.

But it is IOW, not Newport, Wales

[Mojooo]

The IOW fesitval is in newport, IOW.

The person who does the Tom Petty website obviously doesnt know where the IOW is as they have put it on the map as Newport, Wales.

Damn, that got me all excited. Would love to see him live.

[Fetchez la vache]

Well I did see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in South Wales.


Supporting Nils Lofgren (and trampoline) at the Capitol Cinema, Cardiff. 1977 I think. I know I travelled on my 1975 Honda CB750F1.


EDIT: 8 May 1977
