EXTD=eleased 1985\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Considering that Southern Acce
EXTD=nts took so much time and money to complete, finally hitting the 
EXTD=stores two and a half years after Long After Dark, it wasn't surp
EXTD=rising that Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers decided to release a do
EXTD=uble live album, Pack Up the Plantation: Live!, a mere eight mont
EXTD=hs after its release. After all, Southern Accents was criticized 
EXTD=from many corners for being too slick, too much in Dave Stewart's
EXTD= corner instead of the Heartbreakers', so it made sense to quickl
EXTD=y return the focus to the band, showcasing the group as the rocke
EXTD=rs they are. Pack Up the Plantation does do that, even if it isn'
EXTD=t quite the barnburner it should have been. Part of the problem i
EXTD=s that the song selection isn't quite as good as it could have be
EXTD=en, relying heavily on Southern Accents material, including the w
EXTD=eak "It Ain't Nothin' to Me." Then again, the weaker songs and du
EXTD=bious choices are outweighed by a strong performance and neat sur
EXTD=prises like a tough "Insider" and covers of "So You Want to Be a 
EXTD=Rock & Roll Star," "Needles and Pins," and "Don't Bring Me Down."
EXTD= That alone makes it worth investigating for dedicated fans, even
EXTD= if it doesn't quite deliver the knockout punch many listeners mi

EXTD=ER REVIEW\nA Thrilling Mid-Period Live Set , January 24, 2006\nRe
EXTD=viewer: Todd and In Charge (Miami, FL)\nI find it a bit curious s
EXTD=o many of the reviews here dislike the live covers on this album;
EXTD= as a fan I really enjoy the boys' takes on the Byrds "So You Wan
EXTD=t to Be a Rock and Roll Star," or "Needles and Pins," or even "Do
EXTD=n't Bring Me Down." I don't look for a "greatest hits live" packa
EXTD=ge from a performer I respect -- I want that artist to dig deep, 
EXTD=find some chestnuts from the catalogue, or do some covers that me
EXTD=an something to them -- and that's what Pack Up the Plantation is
EXTD=. \n\nIs it representative? I'd say, after two and half years of 
EXTD=effort to create Petty's statement on the South of his raising --
EXTD= Southern Accents, the live album from the tour of Southern Accen
EXTD=ts finds Petty in his most meaningful, heartfelt period. My perso
EXTD=nal view is he feared revealing his most innermost thoughts about
EXTD= the South and himself on Southern Accents, so he felt he needed 
EXTD=to gloss up those concepts with Dave Stewart's production tricks 
EXTD=and copious horns. Don't forget -- this was 1985. But strip all t
EXTD=hat away and you have pure Petty, from the heart. The songs skew 
EXTD=toward that album, with strong performances of "Rebel" and "It Ai
EXTD=n't Nothing to Me," but he throws in some fan favorites as well. 
EXTD=It's rounded out with some fun covers, though I agree "Shout" pro
EXTD=bably didn't need to be included. \n\nI do find this particular c
EXTD=d release to be lacking, however, in that two songs are cut short
EXTD= and the order rearranged from the original release. There's no r
EXTD=eason to truncate or reorder the original, and I hope subsequent 
EXTD=pressings fix this glitch. \n\nIn sum, this is vintage mid-period
EXTD= Petty, rocking out on songs from his heart, even getting Stevie 
EXTD=Nicks to join in a few tunes. Is it a comprehensive overview of h
EXTD=is career, live? Clearly not. But taken for what it is, Pack Up t
EXTD=he Plantation is a very enjoyable live Petty experience and an ex
EXTD=ample of why this artist has been so enduring for so many years.\n

EXTD=ath Cowboy "rockerusa2002" (Suffern, NY United States)\nPACK UP T
EXTD=HE PLANTATION: LIVE! is a great live album by Tom Petty, with onl
EXTD=y two flaws: the addition of horns to many of the songs, which we
EXTD=re previously rawer in their studio versions, and the excessive n
EXTD=umber of cover versions that fill out the album. It would have be
EXTD=en nice to hear more of Petty's own songs, but some of the rendit
EXTD=ions of other people's compositions are great, and, combined with
EXTD= Petty's advocacy of sanctions against Indonesia for that country
EXTD='s recent trumped-up drug-smuggling conviction of a young Austral
EXTD=ian tourist, that more than compensates for the lack of original 
EXTD=material on this album.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nwhy not ev

EXTD=t finished listening to the tape version of this release, which t
EXTD=imed out at 78:04. So why were those songs left off the CD?\nThat
EXTD= being said this is a pretty good document of the band at the tim
EXTD=e and nearly twenty years later holds up as an introduction to th
EXTD=eir music.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nEssential for TP&HB fan
EXTD=s, but not representative, June 2, 2004\nReviewer: A music fan\nT
EXTD=om Petty and the Heartbreakers have been together for well over 2
EXTD=5 years, they have an extensive, excellent catalog of their own s
EXTD=ongs and are an awesome live concert band. So the problems with t
EXTD=his album (for me, as a major fan) are that 1) there's only this 
EXTD=one CD of live music after more than 25 years; 2) a lot of the so
EXTD=ngs are "covers", rather than the band's own self-authored songs;
EXTD= 3) the songs are taken from various tours from 1978 to 1985, and
EXTD= not even presented in chronological order; 4) there's none of Pe
EXTD=tty's commentary between the songs as there would be in a concert
EXTD= 5) a lot of these songs include horns in new arrangements, quite
EXTD= a change from their original form. So while I enjoy this CD, it'
EXTD=s not really representative of the band's overall work.\nOk, so w
EXTD=hat's good about the CD? While it falls down as being "representa
EXTD=tive" of the band, it is a nice supplement for those who have hea
EXTD=rd some more "typical" TP&HB concerts in person, via the official
EXTD= live concert videos, via radio concert broadcasts, or via bootle
EXTD=g recordings. I've been to many of their shows, have the official
EXTD= concert videos, have tons of bootlegs, etc. so for me the horns 
EXTD=on "Refugee" and "American Girl" are interesting, but I'm glad I'
EXTD=ve also heard them performed live elsewhere, without the horns. A
EXTD=nd the songs where horns were in fact intended, "Rebels" and "It 
EXTD=Ain't Nothing to Me", do truly rock here. Another treat for fans 
EXTD=is "Rockin' Around With You", on the CD here from a late 1970's l
EXTD=ive recording with Ron Blair on bass - I've never heard this song
EXTD= performed live anywhere else, not on any bootleg. And it's great
EXTD= to have Stevie Nicks on a couple of the songs ("Needles and Pins
EXTD=", and "Insider") even though, again, she's not normally with the
EXTD= band, so those songs are untypical. \n\nAltogether, this CD is a
EXTD= mishmash of well recorded and well performed songs, but it doesn
EXTD='t really work as an overall album - because it's not at all like
EXTD= a typical TP&HB concert. If you were wanting to hear a typical c
EXTD=oncert from this band, with mostly the band's own songs, Petty ta
EXTD=lking between songs, etc., you'll be disappointed if this CD is t
EXTD=he only live material you hear from them. Personally my favorite 
EXTD="official" live release from the band was the "Take the Highway" 
EXTD=video concert (now out of print, unfortunately). And there are se
EXTD=veral bootlegs I prefer to this CD, but I won't name them since t
EXTD=hey aren't for sale. However, if you are a fan and you can enjoy 
EXTD=these tracks one song at a time, taking them for what they are ra
EXTD=ther than a full "typical" TP&HB concert, then you ought to buy t
EXTD=his CD. And hopefully they'll release more official CDs from this
EXTD= band eventually (they do include a handful of live songs in the 
EXTD=6 CD boxed set, but only one is a Petty authored song, a slow tho
EXTD=ugh excellent version "King's Highway") - they would do well to r
EXTD=elease some of their old tv and radio show concerts to DVD and CD
EXTD=, but even if they do, this CD will still have something to offer
EXTD= for serious fans.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nnot bad, Novemb
EXTD=er 14, 2003\nReviewer: A music fan\nIn the late 80's, Tom Petty w
EXTD=ent into a bit of a creative slump, and a live album let him put 
EXTD=out a record without having to write new songs. Fair enough, this
EXTD= isn't a bad recording, and it's nice to have another Byrds cover
EXTD=, something T.P. and the Heartbreakers have always done really we
EXTD=ll in concert. My main problem with this CD is that the horns rea
EXTD=lly detract from the band's original sound, which was great in th
EXTD=e way it recaptured the simple (brass-free!) flavor of late 60's 
EXTD=rock bands. The horns ruin that for me, but you may feel differen
EXTD=tly (I mean, I didn't like the bit of trumpet the Byrds put after
EXTD= the chorus in the original "If You Wanna Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star
EXTD="). As someone else noted, to fit the original double album onto 
EXTD=a CD, two good tracks were removed, including "I Need to Know", o
EXTD=ne of my favorites on the vinyl version.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER R

EXTD=uary 5, 2003\nReviewer: "chuckdutoit" (Montreal, PQ, Canada)\nIMH
EXTD=O, Petty and the Heartbreakers can do three things very well: 1. 
EXTD=they can write some intelligent songs, 2. they can get VERY inten
EXTD=se musically when they let themselves go a bit, and 3. they can a
EXTD=lso be very effective with quick three-to-four minute songs, as l
EXTD=ong as they're well-written. On this album, the first three track
EXTD=s, "American Girl," and "Southern Accents" accomplish task #3 rea
EXTD=lly effectively. "Refugee" and "Rebels," meanwhile, merge the fir
EXTD=st two qualities--really effective jamming on powerfully written 
EXTD=songs. So the album's really building up to be a heck of a piece 
EXTD=of work, and then--we get "Don't Bring Me Down" and "Shout," whic
EXTD=h are basically just good-timey get-down stuff. It's a major letd
EXTD=own for me.\nSo as always, it all comes down to taste. If you're 
EXTD=into the three qualities I mentioned above, you'll really like th
EXTD=is album but feel let down at the end. If you're only into good-t
EXTD=imey get-down stuff, there's only a few things here for you ("Bre
EXTD=akdown" is another example). If you're into both, this is five-st
EXTD=ar stuff!\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nWhat you would expect, J
EXTD=uly 10, 2002\nReviewer: J. Carroll "Jack" (Island Heights,NJ)\nPa
EXTD=ck up the Plantation is pretty much what you would expect from a 
EXTD=Petty concert CD. A raucous crowd, (Check out the sing along on "
EXTD=Breakdown" they even get the two part harmony right) solid perfor
EXTD=mances by the band, and emotive singing by Petty (particularly on
EXTD= "Southern Accents" where Petty slows things down and gets to the
EXTD= emotional heart of the song.) There are no major surprises here,
EXTD= just the talent and performances you would expect.\n\nAMAZON.COM
EXTD= CUSTOMER REVIEW\nPacks a Pretty Good Punch - But Could be Better
EXTD=, June 28, 2000\nReviewer: Sal Nudo (Illinois)\nOverall, this is 
EXTD=not exactly Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers at the top of their g
EXTD=ame, somewhat due to the song selection. Granted, it was released
EXTD= in 1985, so obviously future Petty classics are missing. Nonethe
EXTD=less, they could have left off songs like "Rockin' Around (With Y
EXTD=ou)" and the ever-played cover, "Shout," in order to include cool
EXTD=er Petty live tracks.\nHaving mentioned the bad, there is still p
EXTD=lenty of good to "Pack up the Plantation," a basically fun, crowd
EXTD=-pleasing disc in most spots. They begin with a cover of their he
EXTD=roes, The Byrds, on "So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star," whi
EXTD=ch starts things off in a good time mode. The crowd also eats up 
EXTD=popular 80's hits like "The Waiting" and "Breakdown," which featu
EXTD=res the crowd doing vocals for the entire first verse, a truly co
EXTD=ol and seemingly spontaneous moment, as Petty deadpans afterwards
EXTD=, "you're gonna' put me out of a job." Stevie Nicks joins Petty o
EXTD=n "Needles and Pins" and the great ballad "Insider," where the du
EXTD=o click fabuously on both songs, their voices just melting togeth
EXTD=er. Another nice ballad is "Southern Accents." The rougher "It Ai
EXTD=n't Nothin' To Me" weirdly has an R.E.M. type bridge that will ta
EXTD=ke listeners aback, but Petty's typical lyrics of ignoring trends
EXTD=, hype, fashion, and doing things your own way will all sound fam
EXTD=iliar on that song. Come to think of it, perhaps Petty and R.E.M.
EXTD= have more in common than people would think. Anyway, noticeable 
EXTD=in these tunes is the ever-present background horns, which happen
EXTD=ed to accompany many popular AOR tunes back in the 80's (in case 
EXTD=you forgot). \n\nBy the end, things seem somewhat thrown together
EXTD=, due to changed venues that seem more intimate than before. The 
EXTD=editing between songs leaves a little to be desired, and the flow
EXTD= of the album suffers as a result. Give Petty credit, however, ch
EXTD=oosing and playing songs like "Don't Bring Me Down" and the close
EXTD=r, "Stories We Could Tell." These are not well-known Petty staple
EXTD=s, yet pretty good tunes. \n\nIf Petty's voice annoys you, avoid 
EXTD=him live, since his nasally twang comes off as even more accentua
EXTD=ted. Also, the cover warning, "Configuration Different than CD" i
EXTD=s absolutely no joke; the track listing is completely messed up. 
EXTD=Perhaps MCA Records will remedy this in the future. At any rate, 
EXTD=if you're a fan, check it out.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nSna
