You could feel the energy leaving the crowd as the wait got longer and longer...
Finally they came back out, apologized and played for about 3 frickin hours of the best shit you have ever heard! I will be a TP fan for life!

I remember back in the 70's Tom Petty was coming to LA. My brother (16 or 17 at the time) was a huge fan and this was going to be his first concert, and he was going to see his favorite act. Very excited.
The day after the concert I called Joe to ask him how the concert was. Turned out he had been drinking and by the time Petty came out he had passed out and he missed the entire performance.
