There’s always a lot riding on a band’s second LP. According to conventional industry wisdom, a band has its entire life to hone a debut, but only a year to come up with an even bigger follow-up. And so, when an artist can put out a third set with a handful of iconic singles, as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers did with Damn the Torpedoes, it says something about that group’s staying power. As part of the Classic Albums Live series, the Montalvo Arts Center presents Petty’s 1979 triple-platinum release, performed by a cover band in its entirety.
