Amazon.com essential video:
If your ideal concert experience depends on flashpots, lasers, and fabulous costumes, turn back now. On the other hand, if you're looking for no-frills, straight-ahead rock & roll played with good humor and passion, you've come to the right place. Filmed in March '99 at San Francisco's legendary Fillmore and seen here in letterbox format with great sound, High Grass Dogs finds Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers in fine form, charging through a series of tunes from the guitarist-singer-songwriter's first album ("Breakdown") to his latest (four tunes from Echo). Petty's core musicians (guitarist Mike Campbell, bassist Howie Epstein, and keyboardist Benmont Tench) have been together for so long that their onstage communication is almost telepathic; the emphasis is always on dynamics and interplay instead of bombast. There may not be any surprises here, with the possible exception of an appearance by Bo Diddley on his own "Mona," but that's a good thing. Indeed, the only mystery may be where Petty came up with that weird title. --Sam Graham

I've watched all the various Tom Petty and Heartbreaker's DVDs available, and this is the best of the bunch. The whole set Runnin' Down a Dream taken together may be better, but otherwise, this is the best concert footage of Tom Petty that I've found, and I find myself watching this one over and over. The Bo Diddly visit for Mona is just awesome, the respect that this band pays him is fantastic to see and puts them on the level of the Rolling Stones in that sense of paying proper dues to the blues. ...

Tom Petty's concert at the Fillmore was to promote the new Echoes album back in '99. Great year and great performance. This is one of the last times that we get to see Howie Epstein play with Tom, and he does an amazing job performing. The setlist is great, but a bit lacking compared to Tom's recent shows. Scott and Steve also make fantastic additions to the Heartbreakers along side "co-pilot" Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench. DVD quality is not the best (remember that this is a '99 DVD), but direction ... Read More

I thought the sound was fantastic, earthy and clear. Every instrument could be heard. I enjoyed it immensely. However watching it? I could only take it in small doses because the quick cut style got to be really annoying after 3 songs. Some great moments were captured, and Tom's smile is worth the price of admission, but I tend to like the Martin Scorsese style in The Last Waltz...keep the camera still and let us absorb the charisma of the artists.
Still.... an exciting show which included the super ... Read More

All Tom Petty things are great, but this wasnt my favorite. Its good, but not the best Ive seen. Still worth buying if youre a big Tom Petty fan like I am, but I'd go for the Runnin Down A Dream video if you want something really cool from Tom Petty. This video was kind of different because it would show random things happening back stage while the concert is going on, and I think that detracted from the concert. Still great songs and great performance by Tom & The Heartbreakers though.

I had to have this DVD! After receiving many phone calls from people telling me that I was "all over the Fillmore dvd", I finally got it for myself! My friends and I went to night after night of this historic run at the Fillmore (one of two long runs in a couple of years that they did). I don't think Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were ever before or have since been so good! And I've been seeing them since I was 15 (now 42!). Unbelievable shows. Rock and roll doesn't get any better! It was a shining moment ... Read More
