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.
