Cameron McMenemy 20th Jun 2020		Live Music Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers @ Sioux Falls Arena	Review CROWD GETS PETTY WORKED UP AT ARENA Robert Morast, Argus Leader, Friday, June 27, 2003 Tom Petty may have been the most gracious rock legend on Earth Thursday night. In front of 6,100 very appreciative fans, and with obvious zeal on his face, Petty constantly thanked his audience between songs as if the guy hadn't heard cheering in 12 years. "You're getting me all excited," Petty said from stage. "When I get all excited I go wild. I can't be responsible for myself when I get all worked up. Just, so you still respect me tomorrow." Arena officials were excited too. Petty's performance was the Arena's highest grossing concert ever. Final numbers weren't available, but Arena officials confirmed that it broke the previous single-show record held by Aerosmith for a 1998 show that grossed more than $250,000. Even though the show wasn't a sell-out - Arena capacity is 6,800 - an average ticket price of $44.50 made it the top grossing show. Aside from making Arena history, the show was special because it was the first date of Petty's current tour. Even more special may have been a rare symbiosis between musicians and spectators where the two actually seemed on par with each other. After spirited renditions of Petty and the Heartbreaker hits like "Mary Jane's Last Dance" and "Free Fallin'" (to which the crowd freely sang along) the audience bathed the blond rocker with honest applause. Amped up by the appreciation, Petty smiled, danced and shimmied his way through classic rock tunes while actually looking like he was having fun - not a trait exhibited by all musicians when they hit Sioux Falls. Because of Petty's excitement, the symbiosis was less parasitic than most concerts and felt more spiritual, resulting in a very enjoyable and entertaining concert. The entertainment factor started early when opener Mavis Staples ended her set by talking to the crowd during a rendition of "I'll Take You There" and paying heed to "Sioux City, S.D." Not surprisingly, boos followed. Unphased by the major faux pas, the crowd clapped when Staples left the stage and began waiting for the main draw. At 8:45 Petty and his longtime backing band the Heartbreakers took the stage and strolled into "American Girl." For a first tour date, the band sounded surprisingly good with no major hiccups or minor malfunctions. Wearing a turquoise blazer, Petty danced through "You Don't Know How it Feels" for the night's second number and gave the crowd its first clue that he was feeling good. Portions of the crowd also took Petty's advice from the song. When he sang "Let's roll another joint," wafts of marijuana smoke christened the show with the smell of a "real" rock concert. "The joint is jumping tonight, just jumping," Petty said from stage. Maybe the fans just appreciated a good sound. Petty's voice was what you'd expect: it sounded just like the albums, but with enough added spunk to raise the energy level. Ditto for the Heartbreakers. This was especially evident during "The Waiting," which sounded excellent thanks to an evident tempo boost. Petty also served up the title track from last year's album "The Last DJ" and an unrecorded new song with a title that wasn't easily understood by this writer. It could have been "The Limit" or "Melinna" or something phonetically similar [ed. note: "Melinda"]. Regardless of the name, the acoustic guitar driven tune was good, with a driving country beat and keyboard quality reminiscent of the Doors. An hour into the performance, Petty still had the crowd standing and singing along. Walking away, two things were evident: Petty had a ton of fun. And he's definitely a living piece of Americana. Each of his songs reads like a journal entry that could easily have been written by Joe Average in Anytown, U.S.A. He captures the experiences we all live through. But manages to romanticize them in a way that makes life feel a little better, at least until the song is over. Or in the case of last night, until the concert was over. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Cameron McMenemy 11th Mar 2020		Live Music Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band @ LA Memorial Coliseum	Review Springsteen Has 83,000 Celebrating By ROBERT HILBURN THE LOS ANGELES TIMES - SATURDAY, SEP. 28, 1985 TIMES POP MUSIC CRITIC The 83,000 fans who filled the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Friday night for the first of Bruce Springsteen’s four concerts came to celebrate. They stood in front of their chairs (or on them) and danced as the New Jersey-born rocker, performing in front of a huge American flag, opened the show with “Born in the U.S.A.,” a rousing but complex song about a Vietnam veteran rallying against the disillusionment of returning home to indifference. The audience moved even more energetically two songs later, when Springsteen and his seven-member E Street Band raced through “Two Hearts,” an uplifting tune about renewing one’s dreams. With the audience’s spirits so high, the last thing most rockers would do--especially in a vast stadium setting--is slow the pace for a series of stark social commentaries. But Springsteen’s commitment to exploring failures--as well as victories--in America is what has helped make him the most acclaimed figure in U.S. rock since Bob Dylan in the mid-1960s. In songs like “Johnny 99" and “My Hometown,” Springsteen explains how the American dream has been replaced by a nightmare for many of his fellow citizens. Introducing “The River,” one of his most poignant songs, he reminded the crowd about the plight of unemployed steelworkers in Pittsburgh and Los Angeles. ‘Shadow of a Dream’ “What do you do when the jobs go away, but the people remain?” he asked. “When communities begin to disappear and families fall apart, and you end up living in the shadow of a dream?” Although the 36-year-old singer-songwriter’s show was also filled with endearing songs about romance and good times, the heart of the concert revolved around the idea that the challenge of the individual is to refuse to give up in the face of defeat, and that a citizen must help his neighbors regain any loss of dignity. On the latter note, Springsteen, as in past concerts, urged the well-behaved audience to support local food bank organizations, specifically Community Food Resources of Los Angeles and the Steelworkers Oldtimers Foundation. “The response around the country to Bruce’s endorsements has been phenomenal,” Doris Bloch, executive director of Community Food Resources, said. “We’ve had fans call up after the concerts in each city offering to volunteer.” In moving to the larger outdoor setting, Springsteen lost little of the intimacy of his smaller Sports Arena shows here last winter and he showed no evidence of compromising his strong artistic vision. ‘As Good as Ever’ “I’ve been a Springsteen fan for a long time and I was worried that all this new popularity may have led to . . . compromises which would have weakened his show, but he’s as good as I’ve ever seen him,” said fan Martin Sanders, 28, of Lomita. The Coliseum stand--which continues Sunday, Monday and Wednesday--ends a 15-month record-breaking world tour. Springsteen will have been seen by an estimated 5 million people by the time he leaves the Coliseum stage Wednesday. The tour box office gross will be almost $90 million. His Los Angeles audience for this series will have totaled 332,000. Despite the vast numbers he attracts, Springsteen’s appeal lies partly in his ability to reflect his blue-collar roots in an age when so many affluent rock stars seem out of touch with their audiences. “He’s the kind of guy who makes you feel that if you were stranded after the concert, he’d take you home in his pickup truck,” said fan Stuart Levine, 21, Canoga Park ✔︎ Helpful Review?
