Mudcrutch, the band Tom Petty had before he had The Heartbreakers, have performed their first show in more than 30 years.
The band hit the stage of The Troubadour on Friday night.For a bit of fun, Petty decided to form his old band and record the debut album that they never got around to recording all those years ago.
