I have to say, this was one of the worst crowds I have ever encountered on the Chicago music scene. Admittedly, they were raucous and raunchy on the fast Deer Tick songs as well they should be. The few duets and quieter songs, however, got completely drowned out by the crowd noise (and I was only five rows from the stage). I can only attribute this to Metromix featuring the show and attracting a lot of wannabes.

The Petty tune you speak of was Breakdown.

I saw them opening for Jenny Lewis in St. Louis, they put on one hell of a show – but they are a lot more fun to see when they are doing their own thing. Nice review – these guys deserve all the praise they are getting, great band.
