Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - High Grass Dogs (Live from the Fillmore)

Starring:Tom Petty
Studio: Warner Bros / Wea
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video
If your ideal concert experience depends on flashpots, lasers, and fabulous costumes, turn back now. On the other hand, if you're looking for no-frills, straight-ahead rock & roll played with good humor and passion, you've come to the right place. Filmed in March '99 at San Francisco's legendary Fillmore and seen here in letterbox format with great sound, High Grass Dogs finds Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers in fine form, charging through a series of tunes from the guitarist-singer-songwriter's first album ("Breakdown") to his latest (four tunes from Echo). Petty's core musicians (guitarist Mike Campbell, bassist Howie Epstein, and keyboardist Benmont Tench) have been together for so long that their onstage communication is almost telepathic; the emphasis is always on dynamics and interplay instead of bombast. There may not be any surprises here, with the possible exception of an appearance by Bo Diddley on his own "Mona," but that's a good thing. Indeed, the only mystery may be where Petty came up with that weird title. --Sam Graham

I MADE THE CUT!.......2007-06-12

I had to have this DVD! After receiving many phone calls from people telling me that I was "all over the Fillmore dvd", I finally got it for myself! My friends and I went to night after night of this historic run at the Fillmore (one of two long runs in a couple of years that they did). I don't think Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were ever before or have since been so good! And I've been seeing them since I was 15 (now 42!). Unbelievable shows. Rock and roll doesn't get any better! It was a shining moment for both the Fillmore and TP and the HB's. Get your copy of this.....kind of like a little slice of rock and roll history. Not quite "The Last Waltz", but still amazing! In fact, it was one of the last shows where we slept in line for the tickets.....before the computer took the social aspect out of waiting in line with your fellow fans! Nowadays the tickets would be "auctioned" to the highest bidder......at the Fillmore, it was those of us who really wanted to be there bad enough to sleep on a cold sidewalk and get in the front rows to be included in the DVD!

This video is great. The songs are good, it's a good time in the band's life, so buy it if you want a goor Tom P. & the HBrkrs video. You'll love it.

Essential T.P. DVD.......2006-11-04

Fantastic T.P. Concert Film. I've terrorized my neighbors with the soundtrack to this one!! Great camera work/production.

Boring.......2006-10-25

Not what I expected after seeing them perform live in 2005. Boring, on stage performance on this disc. Don't buy this one.

Buy this..........2006-07-31

This DVD is really amazing, the song selection is perfect and the playing is crazy great. Everyone is awesome in this filming, at the historic Fillmore. THis even features Bo Diddley with the heartbreakers playing mona, one of the best on the DVD. Tom even jokes around some between songs. Please buy this, you wont be dissapointed. THis is pure Rock 'n' Roll.
