Concert review: Tom Petty adds a sharp, crisp touch to his familiar hits

His audience contained a contingent of teens and 20-somethings to go along with all the baby boomers.

...we went to hear Tom and the boys play great rock and roll, and that's what we get every time. This was about my eighth show, not as many … read more as some, but we keep coming back. One thing bothered me though. All you people who feel the need to text message all the way through the show, talk on your cell phones during the songs, or get up during the set because you just HAVE to have another beer, please, do us both a favor, and STAY HOME!

Maybe he should change the moniker to Tom Petty and the Matchmakers. Because when it comes to cross-generational marketing in concert, Petty is a master.

In the 1980s, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers toured with Bob Dylan. In the '00s, as opening acts, he has featured Jackson Browne, Pearl Jam and now Steve Winwood, who joined him Wednesday at sold-out Target Center.

A terrific live band
