Live Anthology songs coming to Rock Band

Most Tom Petty fans have been busying themselves with news about the new Tom Petty Live Anthology, a massive boxed set that includes decades worth of hits from the country-rocker and his Heartbreakers. But younger fans will be pleased to know that you don’t have to just listen to the songs—you can play along to them as well.

According to Pwnordie.com, a number of the tracks off the Live Anthology are going to be released as downloadable tracks for the hit video game Rock Band. This includes “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” and “Refugee,” which should both be great fun to play along to live. Other tracks include “Even the Losers,” “American Girl,” “Here Comes My Girl” and “A Thing About You.”

Hardcore Petty fans certainly can’t complain about that. They’re being offered a true Tom Petty sampler, and it should be great fun to get some friends together (who are hopefully fellow fans) to play along to some of Tom Petty’s biggest songs. Of course, everyone would rather hear the man himself play the tracks. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that Tom Petty tickets show up on StubHub in the near future.
