What SMOKING music are you listening to? (2026)

Live Friday

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Pack Up The Plantation - LIVE! (1985)

Their first live album out of 6 was a double album set available in a 16 song vinyl set or a 14 song CD or cassette. I can understand why the CD was shorter but you can always stuff more tape in a cassette since there were many longer double albums on tape. There was also a VHS tape made with 4 more songs that has been released on DVD. It is the show at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles where most of the live album was recorded.

In 2015 the CD was remastered in a 24/96 hi-rez format but only the 14 song CD even though the missing 2 song were available as a free digital download. That was corrected about 6 months later with all 16 songs being available in hi-rez.

This was Tom's mini comeback after he had punched a wall during the recording of Southern Accents. Doctors weren't sure he would be able to play guitar again. The album is most noted for the 2 live songs with Stevie Nicks, the crowd sing-a-long on Breakdown and the cover of The Searcher's 1964 hit Needles and Pins of which Petty's version reached #37 on the charts. That song was originally written by Sonny Bono.
