For nearly 40 years Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers have been rockin’ Connecticut. From their first show here (at Shelton’s Pinecrest in 1980) to their final show (at The XFINITY Theatre in 2017) Tom and his band has entertained tens of thousands of fans across our state. Sadly we’ll never see another Tom Petty live concert again, but we are forever thankful to him and The Heartbreakers for all the great shows they’ve given us over the years.
Today we go back 25 years ago when Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers came to New Haven Coliseum on their “Dogs with Wings” 1995 Tour.

Let’s face it, 2020 has been terrible. The Black Crowes were scheduled to bring its much anticipated “Shake Your Money Maker” tour to Connecticut this year, but due to Covid-19 the tour has been postponed to 2021. It’s just one of many shows we missed out on this year, but thankfully we’ll have an opportunity to (hopefully) see them next summer.
Today we go back 25 years ago when The Black Crowes came to New Haven Coliseum on its “Amorica or Bust” 1995 Tour.
