CommentsRecorded live to 2-track at the Paradise Theater, Boston, Massachusetts. (1985, MCA Records) From the Paradise in Boston, when the Heartbreakers were young and Ron Blair was still aboard. "The thing that I brought to the band was Eric Burdon and the Animals," Stan declares. "I was an Animals freak, I loved everything about them. I was more excited about the Animals on Ed Sullivan than I was ever going to be about the Beatles. I freaked out. I remember thinking, 'These records are killin.' I love that sound!' I played those records for Tom and he wasn't totally aware of them. I thought that was what Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers was going to grow up and become. We were going to go bluesy and gutbucket and mean and we were going to be a little ornery."
