From Live Update
With just over a month to go before they launch their summer tour with the Black Crowes, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers continue adding dates to the run.
New stops extend the trek into early September, and include a late-July return to the Boston-area Tweeter Center--which the tour first hits in mid-June--and a two-night, late-August engagement at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA. Details are shown below.
The itinerary has also been tweaked to move up one day to June 7 the previously announced kick-off in Estero, FL.
The Black Crowes are slated to open most of the currently confirmed shows; exceptions are noted in the itinerary below.
Dates for a number of shows are on sale now, and Petty's website has been rolling out tickets via online pre-sales for fans who register at the site for free.
The most recent release from Petty & The Heartbreakers--Mike Campbell (guitar), Benmont Tench (keys), Ron Blair (bass), Scott Thurston (guitar/harmonica/backing vocals) and Steve Ferrone (drums)--is 2002's "The Last DJ." Last year, Petty said that he was sorting through live material for use in a planned two-disc release, and also said a "Greatest Hits, Part II"--featuring some new material--was in the works. No word on the status of either project was available at press time.
Before hooking up with Petty, the recently reunited Black Crowes will complete their current stretch of headlining and festival shows (dates shown below). Led by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson--the only original members still in the group--the band's lineup also features guitarist Marc Ford (who was fired from the band in 1997) and keyboardist Eddie Hawysch (a.k.a. Eddie Harsch), both of whom joined the group after its debut album and tour in 1990; bassist Sven Pipien, who departed the group in 2000; and drummer Bill Dobrow--Rich Robinson's bandmate in Hookah Brown--who takes over for Steve Gorman.
