You just knew they were going to be huge, getting the audience out of their seats . They were superb. I went out the next day and bought their album ,which I still possess. Nils Lofgren was the main act- he never stood a chance after the support band walked off the stage. He tried hard, but even he couldn’t compete with what happened prior to him getting to perform. Needless to say, I became a big fan of Tom Petty , and was not surprised at how he rose to the top as a well respected musician in every sense.
