LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-AUGUST 23, 2019-ELEVEN YEARS AGO TOM PETTY HEADLINED THE OUTSIDE LANDS MUSIC FESTIVAL. I HATE TO HARP ON THIS, BUT THIS IS WHEN THE OUTSIDE LANDS FESTIVAL ACTUALLY BROUGHT IN ROCK BANDS. PETTY WAS SUCH A PRO AT THIS EVENT. HE PLAYED 2 SETS AND AN ENCORE. HE WAS FORCED TO TAKE A BREAK HALF-WAY THROUGH HIS FIRST SET SO A PROBLEM WITH THE FESTIVAL’S SOUND SYSTEM COULD BE FIXED. WHEN HE CAME BACK FOR THE SECOND SET HE STARTED OFF WITH A BLIND FAITH COVER AND A TRAFFIC COVER AND BROUGHT STEVIE WINWOOD OUT TO JAM ON THE SONGS.
HERE WAS PETTY’S SETLIST FROM OUTSIDE LANDS 2008:
