Live at The Falcon | Marlboro, NY

This October fellow musicians Jeff Slate and Jake Thistle will celebrate Tom Petty's 74th birthday Live at the Falcon in Marlboro, NY, playing Petty’s classic album Wildflowers in full (and more).
Special guests are expected.
In a career full of remarkable peaks, Wildflowers still stands as an astonishing creative achievement. One of Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 Greatest Albums of All-Time, it features some of Tom Petty’s best and most enduring songs and performances, including “You Don’t Know How It Feels,” “You Wreck Me,” “It’s Good to Be King,” “Crawling Back to You” and, of course, the elegiac title track.
Petty long-teased a tour built around celebrating Wildflowers, but didn’t get around to it before his untimely passing in 2017. A box set, featuring demos, outtakes and alternate and live versions of the songs from the album - something Petty had also often spoken of - was released in 2020.
Slate and Thistle have collaborated often in recent years, celebrating Petty’s birthday each year, most notably as part of an all-star show at the El Rey Theater in 2019 which featured former-Heartbreakers Ron Blair and Steve Ferrone.
