Description

The third album by Tom Petty and the Hearbreakers,* released in 1979,* has long been regarded as a classic. A mix of rootsy American rock *'n' roll and the best of the British invasion,* of jangling Byrds guitars and Stone-like rhytms,* *'Damn The Torpedoes" was the album that took Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers into the major league,* and re-defined American rock.This DVD tells the story behind the creation of this great rock *'n' roll album and the dramatic transformation in the band's career that took place following its release. Through interviews,* new and archive performances and analysis we discover how Tom Petty,* Mike Campbell,* Benmont Tench,* Ron Blair and Stan Lynch created their songs and sounds with the help of Co-Producer Jimmy lovine and Engineer Shelly Yakus. Recorded during a dramatic period in the band's history where they were fighting for their creative independence,* the album is imbued with the anger and the gutsy attitude the band were portraying in their battle for professional freedom.Many songs from the album are still played live,* and form an important part of Tom Petty's terrific body of work. They include *'Refugee',* *'Here Comes My Girl',* *'Even The Loosers',* *'Shadow Of A Doubt',* *'Don't Do Me Like That',* *'Louisana Rain',* *'You Tell Me' and *'Century City'. *'Damn The Torpedos' stands as one of the great records of the last *'70s and early 80s,* and is truly a Classic Album.Bonusmaterial:Contains over 42 minutes of additional material not included in the TV broadcast;
