Klipsch Music Center
Noblesville, IN
May 13, 2017
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers returned to the Klipsch Music Center outside Indianapolis Saturday night to open the venue’s 29th concert season with a hit-laden show spanning the band’s four decades in rock 'n' roll.
Hoosiers have a special place in their heart for Tom and the guys. The band has played many historic concerts at this legendary amphitheater, formerly called Deer Creek, including breaking the attendance record in 2013 and playing amid a thunderstorm in 2005 when lightning struck the venue and temporarily knocked out its electricity.
Saturday night’s crowd at Klipsch was absolutely electric in the moments before Tom and the band took the stage following a fantastic opening set from Joe Walsh. “Rockin’ Around with You” got things off to a upbeat start, but it was “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” that had the 29,000-plus fans at Klipsch on their feet from the song’s first verse.
“She grew up in an Indiana town
Had a good lookin' momma who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night”
See everybody at Bottle Rock!
