British Summer Time 2017: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Stevie Nicks

The seminal Gainesville rockers played their only European tour date this year, supported by the one and only Stevie Nicks, all in the sunny surrounds of Hyde Park. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers delivered up the hits – “Rockin Around with You”, “Mary Jane’s Last Dance”, “Free Fallin’”, “Learning to Fly”, “Refugee”, “American Girl” – and were, perhaps unsurprisingly, joined on stage by Stevie Nicks for a rendition of “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”. Nicks focused on the Fleetwood Mac back catalogue, including “Dreams”, “Gypsy”, “Rhiannon”, “Landslide” and even “Gold Dust Woman” – a track that left her visibly emotional and one that she told the audience had never been performed live before this tour.
