Hits: A smashing knee-length blue overcoat draped Tom Petty distinctively, and the sweeping, swaying liberation of Free Fallin' suited him just as fine.

Misses: Stop, children, what's that sound? David Crosby was majestic on Almost Cut My Hair, but Stephen Stills and Graham Nash blithely and consistently sang wrongly during a legacy-soiling opening set.

Overheard: " American Woman!" from a well-lubricated yahoo who meant to request American Girl - which Petty did not perform, perhaps in recognition of his Canadian audience.

In short: Torpedoes and aging be damned, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers won't back down.
