Tom Petty died almost 7 years ago. She's still doing the tribute?
I was watching a Heart concert and Nancy did the most wonderful tribute to Eddie Van Halen. They used to tour together and the Wilson sisters would hang out with the Van Halen brothers. Nancy's tribute was just a song with no photoshopped photos, no long intro. Nancy did not make it about herself. When I saw it, I was like this is how you tribute someone in a concert set. Eddie told Nancy that he loved how she played acoustic guitar. She told him he should play more but Eddie said he did not have an acoustic guitar on the road so Nancy gave him one. One night Eddie called her and played her a song he wrote on the acoustic guitar. Nancy wrote a song based on his song. And guess what, its only 2 minutes long. Very touching story. Authentic. No floating posters behind her. And it was over.
Stevie, this is how you do a tribute.
