Listen: Tom Petty Shares Fonda Theatre Playlist with Commentary

Rob Slater on August 13, 2014

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have shared a playlist from their June 3, 2013 show as a part of their long residence at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, CA. While not all tracks are live versions (some are simply the studio recording), each song is preceded by a brief commentary track from Petty himself. The guitarist talks about some of his biggest hits including “I Won’t Back Down,” “Runnin’ Down a Dream,” the show-closing “American Girl” and more.

There are a few tracks that are featured as live recordings from the Fonda that night as well as Petty’s show at the Beacon Theatre. Fans will find exclusive clips of “So You Want to be a Rock ‘N’ Roll Star,” “(I”m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone” and “Tweeter and the Monkey Man” from the Beacon Theatre as well as a cut of Little Feat’s “Willin'” from the Fonda Theatre.

Listen to the tracks along with the commentary sections from Petty below.
