Recorded live at the Catacomb in Austin
Noted Tom Petty fans Spoon have shared recordings of two Tom Petty covers. Their renditions of “Breakdown” (which was broadcast last year as part of a virtual Petty birthday concert last year) and “A Face in the Crowd” were tracked live at the Catacomb in Austin. Find both below.
Britt Daniel was recently a guest DJ on SiriusXM’s Tom Petty Radio. Last year, the band launched a reissue campaign, which followed the release of a greatest hits album in 2019. A reissue of Tom Petty’s Wildflowers also arrived last year.
