Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - Runnin' Down A Dream (2007) [3 DVD Box Set] Re-up

Runnin' Down A Dream: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is an epic four-hour documentary feature in which Tom Petty, interviewed on camera, reveals anecdotal details about his band's development and quirks. Petty's laid back and somewhat self-effacing manner is quite appealing, as he talks about the good moments and some of the bad moments he and his musical cohorts have experienced.

Petty's saga begins with his childhood and guitar-plucking adolescence in Gainesville, Florida–long before the Heartbreakers released their debut album in 1976. Since their first album, the band has sold more than 50-million records. They remain one of the biggest touring acts in the music business.

To mark the 30th anniversary of his reign as king Heartbreaker, Petty chose Peter Bogdanovich to direct this celebratory, Warner Bros.-financed film. It's Oscar-nominated (The Last Picvture Show)Bogdanovich's first documentary, and in it he brilliants interweaves Petty's on camera commentary with archival footage of Petty's past: childhood and adolescence, music making with pre-Heartbreakers bands, live concert clips, music videos and on camera praises from famous musicians including George Harrison, Stevie Nicks and Eddie Vedder, among others.

There are also extraordinary clips from the Traveling Wilburys, the superband formed by George Harrison with Petty, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison. ~ Review by Jennifer Merin
