Back in 1981 I saw a strange double-bill concert of Tom Petty and Split Enz.

 

[California Dreamer]

That would have been jarring. Imagine if it had been in the '70s, when Split Enz where in their make-up and arty weird clothes phase.

I saw Petty in a double-bill with Jackson Browne in Concord, CA. That was a much better line-up, I suspect.

It was a strange mix. I think that it was just the timing...both bands were touring through and the city wasn't big enough to support two concerts on the same night.

There was some animosity between the two sets of fans. I went because of Split Enz but stuck around for Tom Petty also.
