OK, who remembers Tom Petty's "Dog On The Run" from 1976?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

NOT "Dog(s) On The Run...plural...from "Southern Accents." It's a different song.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' first album was frigging HUGE.



Legendary San Francisco FM station KSAN (and I'm sure many others across the U.S.A.) had a copy of a vinyl 1-sided "authorized live bootleg" (called "Official Live 'leg, Recorded Dec 12, 1976 at Paul's Mall, Boston) which featured:

Chuck Berry's "Jaguar & Thunderbird"
Fooled Again
Luna
Dog On The Run

I was lucky enough to buy a copy at the late, GREAT Palo Alto record store "Chimera Records." Some of the lyrics:

"Sittin' downtown waitin' for the number to be called,
See you in the alley outside against the wall
Now I don't think you realize, baby
What one little kiss can do
I would really love to make you understand honey,
But I can't get close to you
Said, better stop it
Look at what you've done,
Try to keep me livin' like a dog on the run..."

It had a spacy extended jam in the middle, and the beginning and end rocked hard and furious. It was played to DEATH...justifiably so...on KSAN.

Anyone ever heard it?

1. Never heard it........

....but I do notice Tom likes to go back to the well with certain phrases and titles in his songs.
