Gendron: “It took Tom Petty 46 years to bring his first band to Chicago, but he needed only a matter of minutes Saturday at a steamy Riviera to show a sold-out crowd that Mudcrutch is more than a novelty project. Performing with the quintet with which he started out in 1970 before it splintered and he signed a solo deal, the iconic front man treated the nearly two-hour concert as an egoless celebration of the merriment that comes from playing with longtime friends linked by common musical bonds – and first-rate chops.”
