Now, you would think 40 years later how many people would have been begging for a chance to see Tom Petty, especially when we would only be 2 rows off the floor stage left. Shortly after the concert was postponed and rescheduled, I broke up with that young lady and had an extra ticket. The concert was originally scheduled for mid-June 1981 but got postponed due to Tom have throat problems. Wanna know the crazy part of this? When the concert was announced, I went to the local record store which sold concert tickets and picked up two, one for me and one for my last high school girlfriend. Subsequently, when Tom and the guys came to town during the summer of 1981, concert ticket sales were soft. Back then, The Heartbreakers were not getting much radio air play in the Indianapolis/Central Indiana market, which never made much sense to me. Since I am something of a long-time Tom Petty fan, I was one of the few fans who saw the band perform in a half-filled Market Square Arena in August of 1981.
