    Playing at hte brandy new Verizon Amphitheatre in Atlanta.

    Yummy.

    no more going to through the ghetto to see bands at Lakewood! And since i live on the oppisite side of town no more having to leave 45 minutes before i want to get to the show to arrive.

    I have not seen Tom yet so i'll make this a priority.

    Awesome news.

    Well, looks like Mr. Petty has fallen in line with PJ, basically skipping the south. Oh well, I won't be traveling to Atlanta, so looks like the closest I'll get to seeing a Petty this summer will be Kyle at Talledega
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    .

    You are right, that is hardly skipping the south as I said. I, however, live in Mississippi so I typically look for Birmingham, Memphis or New Orleans -- all about three hour trips for me -- so I guess I should have said skipping my part of the south.

    It wasn't so along ago we used to get some pretty good shows in Jackson, but no more. I can't remember the last worthwhile coliseum show there though. I first saw Petty in Jackson about 10 years ago

    I may have to pass considering I have seen him 3 times already. I am surprised he didnt announce Milwaukee yet, he plays Summerfest just about every year. I wonder why he never plays world tours anymore? Maybe its because other countries just dont seem to get him like we do.
