Love ya Tom , but why , why , why did you choose that hack Sheppard Fairy to do the artwork ?

That being said , I’m looking forward to this very much.

Go TP!

Wow, some serious thought has gone into this, great to see FLAC available too! More bands should do this and sell their stuff direct instead of through iTunes.

Shepard Fairy, a hack. You my friend are a fucktard.

They still have yet to release their first two live videos on DVD: Pack up the Plantation and Take the Highway Live. The latter is from the Into the Great Wide Open Tour and would really be great to have.

to “mfingnija”….

I may be “fucktard” as you so eloquently put it… but I’m a “fucktard” that knows a hack when I see them… and that dudes a hack.

T.P rules….

To “mfingninja”….

That I may be , but I still know a hack when I see them & that dude is a hack.

Still looking forward to this box set regardless.

Does anyone know if the Deluxe edition will be available outside the US ? BestBuy does not have stores in Europe, and they don’t ship to addresses outside the US. When David Gilmour released “Live at Gdansk” last year, the Deluxe edition was a BestBuy exclusive in the US, but it was available anywhere outside the US. I hope the same will hold for the Live Anthology.

Tom Petty’s website announced that the Deluxe edition will be released outside the US

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And, by decree in the Bill of Rights, we may express them openly. But we should be responsible for what we say, and provide facts in support. Natch considers Shepard Fairey a hack. Natch also mispelled the artists’ name. So for someone familiar enough to call him a hack, get it right, it’s Shepard Fairey, not Sheppard Fairy. Has Natch met the man, read his books Supply and Demand or E Pluribus Venom? Has Natch actually studied his work? Do some research, then spout off. Mfingninja coined it well: Natch is indeed a fucktard for making a flat, unsubstatiated statement, and in such an emphatic manner. The Live Anthology piece by Shepard Fairey was wisely commissioned. It’s a dynamic composition in Mr. Fairey’s familiar style and captures a visual equal to the music by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Thanks for tuning in.
