Obviously, he instead tossed it into the crowd. This is a thing that should, no doubt, be expected at future stops as the young tour continues.Due to circumstances outside of our control, we regret to inform you that Shadow of Doubt has been postponed until further notice. He's a serious musician who doesn't seem to take himself too seriously.Īt the end of the song - following an intense laser and strobe production - Petty made as if he were going to place the hat back in the chest. Donning it, he twirled around, arms outstretched as the band segued into "Don't Come Around Here No More."

Even with artists of Petty's caliber, it can be tempting to go the "let's not and say we did" route with a pair of stretchy pants, one's libation of choice and a concert DVD at home.
