Summary: 90 Minutes of Greatness
Review: This video is a must have for any Tom Petty fan. The songs are great. Some of the endings to the songs are new and different. Bo and Tom together is something to see. This is a great video.

Summary: TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS ARE ROCK AND ROLL!
Review: TOM AND THE BOYS MIX IT UP IN THIS VIDEO OF TWO NIGHTS AT THE FILMORE.ALL THAT TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS HAVE BECOME OVER THE YEARS COMES OUT IN THIS VIDEO.FROM THE VERY FIRST SONG TO THE LAST IT IS A VIDEO RECORD OF HOW A REAL ROCK AND ROLL GROUP SHOULD SOUND.TOM AND THE GROUP HAVE REMAINED STRONG AND HAVE LOST NONE OF THE INTENSITY OF THEIR EARLIER YEARS.ALTHOUGH IT IS MOSTLY THEIR OLDER STUFF(WHICH I REALLY ENJOYED!) IT IS INTER-MIXED WITH SOME NEWER MATERIAL WHICH I HAD NOT HEARD AND FOUND IT ALMOST AS GOOD.THE SOUND AND VIDEO QUALITY OF THIS DVD IS EXCEPTIONAL AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANY OF THEIR FANS OUT THERE.

Summary: Simply the Best, Better than All the Rest
Review: Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers are just simply THE best rock and roll band ( and probably other genres, too) ever. They are the real, true, genuine deal and they are such fabulous musicians. Like other TP & the HB fans, I can't get enough of them and could easily become a groupie! (I first said "roadie" but my husband pointed out that would a hard-working crew member and suggested that I meant "groupie"...:-) )There is just no one like them, no one to compare and I love them! This DVD is great for the music and the shots of the guys and their work - the greatest concerts anywhere, ever. It could have been only somewhat better if it had included some of the things that one has gotten familiar with in concert DVDs: lyrics, interviews....and things like that. But that's ok; a video of a concert by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers is better than all the bells & whistle enhanced performances by ANYBODY else. This band PLAYS HARD AND PLAYS RIGHT and they rock.

Summary: an injustice
Review: Tom Petty is one of the best ever. People leave his shows awestruck. A film of a concert should make you feel as if you were there, as part of the audience. It should not make you feel as though your head were a ping pong ball being bounced about at two-second intervals by nine different cameramen, none of whom seem to be able to get a decent view. Why oh why must the filmmakers try to upstage the band when they are making these things? It never, ever works. To the powers that be: Please, please, please release Tom Petty's Pack Up The Plantation film on DVD. It is a wonderful perfomance and a much better film than this one. And next time you get ready to film a concert, watch The Last Waltz to get an idea of how it should be done.
