Tom Petty will show his support for independent record store operators by releasing an album of live material on November 25. The vinyl only edition will include concert versions of a number of the tracks on Mojo, the studio release Petty and the Heartbreakers put out last year. Tom and the band have also committed to doing a concert to help a listener sponsored California radio station overcome some funding shortfalls so they can re-hire some of the on-air talent the station was forced to let go. The October 29 concert in Northridge, CA is likely to be the only live show Petty does for a long time. He told Rolling Stone he needs a break from '...the same merry-go-round', but plans to get to work on a new album in the coming months.
