Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

On December 19, 2015, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performed at the Troubadour in West Hollywood for the 4th Annual Merry Minstrel Musical Circus. By this time, they had just released their album 'Hypnotic Eye' in 2014, which was notable for being their first album to top the Billboard 200 since 1989. The group was really hitting their stride, showcasing their timeless sound and blending rock with a hint of Americana. An interesting tidbit: during this performance, founding member Ron Blair took on bass duties, while drummer Steve Ferrone was out of the country. It's a reminder of how dynamic the band could be, shifting members seamlessly yet still delivering that iconic Tom Petty vibe. Who knew a holiday concert could feel so intimate and electrifying?
