“When you have the multitracks, you get to hear what happens after they faded it out in the stereo mix…Usually bands kind of go to a certain point, the energy kind of drops. These guys, once they got into a groove and they got to the outro, they would just keep going. And in some cases what they did was so interesting and so cool, I just decided to let it go all the way to the end.” - Ryan Uylate
The extended mix for “Fooled Again (I Don’t LIke It)” is out now. More extended versions of tracks from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ first two studio albums are available on ‘Origins 1971-1978’. Pre-order your copy now.

"[It was] one of the greatest performances we had ever seen by a band at the top of their game. They played music from another planet to a room packed with manic fans, in one of the most iconic venues in the world. It was an experience so powerful that five decades later we could still remember every chord, every song, every solo.”

"We drove out to California, is what we did, because we didn't want to go to New York. We figured we'd starve either place, and it would be better to starve where it was warm. And we knew the Byrds came from California."
