Ending the first half with Runnin’ Down a Dream they’re soon called back on stage for You Wreck Me before closing the complete circle and ending where his career started with the Byrds influenced American Girl, which the crowd are still singing as they drift out through the exits into the night. It is the song that made me a fan all those years ago and as darkness falls it sounds as powerful as ever. Refugee brings the crowd back to life and is greeted like a long lost friend. Learning to Fly picks up the tempo as the band heads into the home straight. It wasn’t a bad album but the one hit off it had come earlier in the show and these three just don’t fit into this environment. Stevie Nicks returns for Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around before he announces a trio from the Wildflowers album and that, unfortunately, is where the show dragged. Forgotten Man off the last album shows that not only can be still write quality songs but also that he’s not lost his political bite.
Mary Jane’s Last Dance gives the crowd its first chance to sing as the hits keep coming. With his long blond hair Tom looked the archetypal surfer dude, but now like many of his fans he’s a grizzled veteran of the music scene. Ambling on stage the band opens with Rockin’ Around (With You) to a backdrop of Old Grey Whistle Test clips, the band’s first UK performance.
Tom Petty has a back catalogue that many artists would die for, tagging the show as a 40th anniversary tour gives him scope to delve into most of its eras. As she said when she introduced Rhiannon, she never expected to still be singing it 42 years later, but the song and her voice have both aged well.

Walking on stage at the not very rock and roll time of 6.30pm, which plainly caught many fans by surprise, Stevie Nicks scattered her set with five Fleetwood Mac classics as well her own solo hits, of which ‘Edge of seventeen’ still stands the test of time. It would be pushing most people’s imagination to compare Hyde Park with 70’s California but on a balmy sunny evening that’s where these two acts have transported us. So when it was announced that he was going to headline and close the British Summer Time Festival at Hyde Park this year, my credit card started to twitch because the last time that I saw him was as a fresh faced twenty year old on 22nd December 1982! The deal sealer was the announcement of Stevie Nicks as the main support act. The fact that Tom Petty has only played one very rapidly sold out show, two years ago, at The Royal Albert Hall shows that either he’s not a big fan of touring Europe or that these days he’s simply happy plying his trade in his homeland. The comedian’s “young Tom Petty” is certainly as good as David Spade’s “middle-aged Tom Petty,” and Nicks sounds great, too.Keith spends the afternoon in a London park Fallon’s somehow been able to convince celebrities to impersonate their younger selves on his show, and as always the attention to detail here is impressive. It was the 25th video to be played on MTV back in ’81, and since the channel didn’t have a lot of videos then it remained in pretty heavy rotation. In addition to performing “Edge Of Seventeen” with Waddy Wachtel and the Roots, the Fleetwood Mac/ American Horror Story icon joined the host (as Tom Petty) for a loving recreation of the video for “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” Nicks’ first and biggest hit.
Stevie Nicks was Jimmy Fallon’s musical guest tonight at the Rock Hall event she’ll pay tribute to Linda Rondstadt, who will not be attending because her Parkinson’s disease makes travel difficult. This week The Tonight Show has booked talent from the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony, which goes down in Brooklyn Thursday night.
