Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Grand Olympic Auditorium was a legendary boxing venue that hosted Nirvana's first LA show; Petty specifically chose it for its raw, un-corporate energy.
The Last DJ album was Petty's most overtly political work, attacking corporate radio consolidation — this concert captures the rare moment an arena rock star performed an entire protest record to an adoring crowd.
