we bought this for friends for christmas, and we have not got to watch all of it yet, but what we have watched is just amazing. The film footage that they have managed to dig up from his earliest gigs is just fascinating in itself. We are also huge petty fans, & like another reviewer mentioned, we learned so much more from this documentary. And the concert???? stick it in & crank it up!!!!!! You will not be sorry, this is a must have, & I cant wait for next date night to watch the rest!!!!
What's great about it: everything
What's not so great: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Although I haven't been around for the length of Tom Petty's entire career. This documentary has given me the ability to see how the group came up before I was able to see it for myself. Peter Bogdanovich does an amazing job from start to finish directing this movie. Alot of home movies pulled from the Mudcrutch and Heartbreakers vault sets the mood for this entire film. A must have for any Rock N Roll fan! You will not be Disappointed!
What's great about it: All
What's not so great: N/A

I received this wonderful package as a birthday gift. The 4-hour documentary is worth every minute. Anyone who watches "Running Down A Dream" will see what an incredibly original artist Tom Petty is. The music and human interest parts tell an amazing story of persistence and artistic. I can't recommend this highly enough to all lovers of popular music. Wow!
What's great about it: Tremendous documentary, tons of material
What's not so great: None

This is one of the BEST career documentaries I have ever seen. Completely rivals and can stand next-to The Last Waltz. I was completely impressed by the willingness of Director Peter Bogdanovitch to keep himself out of it and allow Tom Petty to tell his own story. Petty shows a willingness to reveal his strengths, weaknesses, his mistakes, and above all his love of the music. Also evident was the importance of his vision to keep the band as one cohesive unit, which explains their lasting thirty years together. The included interviews and comments with other musicians, such as Eddie Vedder, gives a real glimpse of the respect for Petty's contribution to music.
The accompanying 30th Anniversary Concert DVD and song-mix CD are added bonuses that will be enjoyed over and over. I truly felt after watching and listening that Tom Petty was having as much fun as I was, probably more.
Best Buy gets kudos for offering this gem, and their shipping time was Excellent, as usual. This belongs in your archives.
What's great about it: Entertaining
What's not so great: None

"Running Down A Dream" is by far the best documentary ever made detailing the history of a rock band. Even if you are not a true fan of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, you will be after watching this wonderful DVD. Their struggles to become one of the greatest rock bands of all time is exquisitely depicted. It is full of humor and real emotion. Plus the music is great. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers are "THE REAL DEAL"; a genuinely authentic pioneering American rock and roll band who are carrying the torch. They are one of the very best LIVE bands and are all terrific musicians. Like Dylan & Springsteen, their music is an important part of our culture and history. Plus, they ROCK!!! Check this DVD out. I promise you, you won't be disappointed.
What's great about it: Great Concert/Inteview Footage; Some Very Rare
What's not so great: None
I would recommend this to a friend!

From a World Class Filmmaker (who clearly also happens to be a huge Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers fan) and a World Class Band.
Can you imagine being Peter Bogdanovich and his crew producing and directing this film? It would be like a having wet dream!
This is getting to live your life all over again as you watch Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' own professional and sometimes personal lives unfold on the screen.
How many people get grow up watching the Beatles on TV then go on to not only become BIGGER than them but also gets to actually record music with a couple of them. What would it be like sitting in the studio with George Harrison and Ognir Rrats (a.k.a. - Ringo Starr)? How many people get to actually live "RUNNIN' Down the DREAM"?
This of course is a MUST HAVE for any fan of music! You get to see and feel the passion of an average everyday ordinary group of guys reach the pinnacle of their profession with unimaginable succes.
You'll be captivated for the entire four hours of music, interviews, rare footage, and live concerts this gifted filmmaker painstakingly enjoyed providing for all to see. We get an inside view, the front row seats if you will, of the band' professional lives at every stage of the Heartbreakers story.
Steve Ferrone was clearly the missing link. He instantly made Heartbreakers a much better band the moment he walked in the door. He deserves recognition for his incredible contribution to this band.
I need to correct a previous review, so please allow me. To Udey Hussein who wrote a review on 10/20/2007, to quote him, "The included concert is a superb finale to the Heartbreaker's career and is an awesome experience.".
What finale? By ANY means this wasn't a finale to TP & the Heartbreakers! They've only just begun, the final chapter hasn't even been written. You should just wish you were among the priviledged few, okay a few MILLION, who actually have been fans for the entire 30 years of TP & the Heartbreakers.
This set is something we'll all savor for generations to come!
What's great about it: The Music, The Interviews, The Rare Footage, Tom Petty, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, The Music, The Interviews...
What's not so great: NADA, ZIP, ZERO, ZILCH!!!
