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.

Continuing with Tom Petty most people know about the 2 songs he released with Stevie Nicks
Needles and Pins
And Stop Dragging My Heart Around
This is more a Tom Petty song then most realize. It was a finished song when Tom gave it to Stevie. They just cut out some of Tom's vocals and inserted Stevie's - there was no rerecording of the song.
However, there is a third song that most don't know about which Stevie inspired. Stevie had just broken up
with Joe Walsh. Tom along with Dave Stewart and producer Jimmy Lovine had come up with a rough cut of a song which Stevie said she would work on the next day. The boys kept at it that night and Tom had put on a mostly finished vocal to it. The next day Stevie hears what had be done, fires Jimmy Lovine and tells Tom she doesn't want his song. Tom takes it, reworks it a little and when it is released becomes one of his biggest singles
