This may be the absolute best thing any serious TP fan could get their hands on. The movie in itself is amazing...going back to the early days of the HEARTBREAKERS. But the live concert footage from TP's hometown, Gainesville, FL is awesome. I have, and still find myself watching this over and over again. One of the "BEST BUYS" I've made in a long time. If you love TP you will be amazed! Don't walk, run to pick this one up.
What's great about it: For any true TOM PETTY fan...

This is a great item to get for anyone who is a Tom Petty fan or likes one of his songs. You will never get tired of watching it. Not only do you get 3 DVDS and 1 CD, you also get a booklet about Tom Petty's sucess and some pictures of him and the heartbreakers. It is a great box set - it's worth getting.
What's great about it: Covers everthing that has happen in Tom Petty's life.
What's not so great: It ends - I wish that it would never end.

I've always liked TP and the Heartbreakers, but I never really got into them until I caught this documentary on Sundance late one night. Not only did I love the film, I instantly wanted to go out and buy some cd's. I'm not gonna lie, if you're not a fan of music/rock and roll this is probably way too big of an endeavor for you. If you are a rock and roll fan then you are in for a treat. The four hour documentary is entertaining from beginning to end. Plus you get a full two hour 30th anniversery concert and a cd of very rare live tracks. It is well worth it to get the deluxe version to have the two extras.
What's great about it: The complete documentary, plus a full concert, plus a cd of rarities

My mother purchased this for me for my birthday in early 2008. At the time, I enjoyed Petty and the Heartbreakers but they weren't one of my favorites. I am a music fan in general and all I can say is 'WOW!" Everything about this set is fantastic...the length, the quality, the diversity in the media. I've watched the concert DVD over and over and keep the bonus CD in my vehicle for long drives. I always watch the 4-hour documentary in one sitting, and it never gets boring. Even some of my friends who aren't particularly into TP&H enjoyed this set. I thought the DVDs might be good, but I didn't expect it to touch me so emotionally. I went out and bought a few more TPH albums the next day and became an instant fan. If you can find this, I would recomment going out and buying it. At one point, I let someone borrow this set and thought I'd never see it again..so I tried to order another copy and they had discontinued the 4-disc version (lowered the price and brought it down to just 2-discs) If you can get this full version, buy it!

I actually caught some of this DVD on Cable a good while back but since my wife is a huge Tom Petty fan and having recently seen the group live on the Mojo Tour I ordered this compangion Book along with the DVD Box set for her 50th B-day and I was compelety blown away by both!!
I have to say how brillanly I thought the Images was restored and how tastefully the entire book was put together!
The best part about this box-set is you don't even have to be a Tom Petty Fan to get this book. All you need to be is a fan of the arts and you'll be blown away and STILL come out a TP Fan!
You should get it while you can though as they're no longer manufacturing this set and I'd bet berfore too much longer this one's gonna a be tough find -even on Ebay... -P Brown Keyboardist/Producer Ocean Soul Studios

It may well be more information about Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers than you are willing to store for long, or deep. But it's well worth a watch. Even more than one. The two DVD documentary has plenty of great rock n roll 'story'. American kids doing what so many American kids did since the establishment of the Great 28. It has enough of family and background that you have a strong feeling of knowing the subjects, who then continue to grow in ways expected and unusual. Tragedy and loss are not strangers to any of us. Dealt with here straight from hip and heart. A human story, thoroughly.
The music is what will get the most repeated use. The CD is going to please any fan, any!, and the DVD concert footage is one of my faves to watch of any of my rock video.
I like the package, the look, the contents.. and I've become an even bigger fan.
What's great about it: Excellent documentary, fantastic concert and cd

It puts everything into perspective, when it comes to enjoying Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' originality and creativity that have spanned decades. It also places the band within context, among what inspired them initially, as well as their influence, today.
What's great about it: Well designed and executed from start to finish. A great watch.
