Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Tom Petty/London,UK 1978 Upgrade

The historical footage that symbolized “Tom Petty before DAMN THE TORPEDOES” has been upgraded. The complete master quality version has been released urgently. This work includes the prestigious BBC’s famous program “THE OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST”, which was first broadcast on “June 20, 1978”. It is a digital rebroadcast. At that time, Tom broke out in the UK rather than his native America, and in 1978 he was riding the aftermath and invading his home country. The masterpiece 3-disc set “WINTERLAND 1978” that conveys the scene is also popular, so be sure to check your position on the schedule at that time.・April 22: New York performances {May 2nd release of “YOU’RE GONNA GET IT!”}・May 7th – June 15th: North America #1 (14 performances)・June 20th – 27th: UK (4 performances)←★Here★・July 6th – August 6th: North America #2 (20 performances)・September 10th – 24th: North America #3 (10 performances)・December 29th – 31st: North America #4 (3 performances)←※WINTERLAND 1978 This is Tom Petty in 1978. In the previous year of 1977, he solidified his popularity with a full-scale UK tour, but in 1978, his target was completely America. In the UK, he only performed four times, centered on participating in the festival “A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM 1978”, and his appearance at “OGWT” in this work was the first one of them. It’s a super famous program that any British rock fan would know, and its footage has been a classic among classics for a long time. It has been repeatedly upgraded to meet the “fully official” standards that have evolved with the times. And this work is the 2021 version. After all, it is the latest version that was digitally rebroadcast just recently (December 10th). The beauty of the image is exactly “fully official (by modern standards)”, and it is ultra-digital quality with no analog process from the station master to the DVD. Moreover, there is no cheapness in the film feeling of the time when it was shot, as there is only the prestigious BBC. Speaking of the 70’s feeling, it is only the taste of the lighting and sound equipment in the studio, and the picture quality / sound quality is super superb that it would not be strange if it was shot yesterday. No, there was another thing that was 70’s. That is, the youthful performance of the members. Unlike mime programs such as “TOP OF THE POPS”, this program is a live performance. Although the 50-minute stage, which is based on the broadcast time slot, is far shorter than a regular concert, the selection and performance are richer. Let’s summarize the contents here. American Girl (5 songs) Anything That’s Rock ‘n’ Roll / Fooled Again (I Don’t Like It) / Breakdown / American Girl / Strangered in the Night Others (4 songs) You’re Gonna Get It!: I Need to Know / Listen To Her Heart / You’re Gonna Get It Cover: Shout (THE ISLEY BROTHERS) … and so on. The first two works are condensed and reduced, and then the cover of THE ISLEY BROTHERS’ “Shout” is finished. The repertoire unique to that time is full, including the precious “You’re Gonna Get It” and “Strangered in the Night”. In fact, all the songs can be seen in the professional shots included in “WINTERLAND 1978”, but the other one is a monochrome video with a priority on preciousness. The meaning is completely different from the superb and completely official quality of this work. Young Tom Petty before reaching the breakthrough in “DAMN THE TORPEDOES”. This is the latest version that allows you to enjoy the passionate performance of “Challenger Tom” before winning in the ultimate quality. The beauty of the 2021 video, where the familiar live performance looks completely different. The highest peak updated version of the classic professional shot THE OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST (first broadcast June 20, 1978). The latest version was digitally rebroadcast on December 10, 2021, and its quality is completely official without question. You can enjoy the stage that condenses and reduces the first two works with ultra-digital quality that does not include any analog process from the station master to the DVD.
