Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
You and Me by Tom Petty Live at the Olympic in Los Angeles
In this live performance from November 30, 2002, at the Olympic in Los Angeles, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers delivered a stellar rendition of "You And Me." At this point in their career, the band was fresh from the success of their album "The Last DJ," released in 2002, which had stirred up conversations around the music industry's direction and commercialism. This was a notable period for Petty, as the album, while critically acclaimed, tackled heavy themes and reflected Petty's sentiments about the changing landscape of music. Fans appreciated his straightforward honesty in songwriting, and this live version brings out that raw energy. Interestingly, during this era, Petty also began solidifying his legacy as a rock icon, actively engaging with political themes in his music, which made moments like this concert significant not just musically, but culturally as well.
