July 10, 2012 > Petty Theft at the lake Petty Theft at the lake Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is considered a classic representation of contemporary American Rock and Roll. With an amazing repertoire of songs on the lips of a wide swath of age groups, their music is heavily represented by "tribute" bands that attempt to deliver Petty's sound and rhythm. One of the best, Petty Theft, performs at Thursday evening at beautiful Central Park in Fremont. With Lake Elizabeth and Mission Peak as a backdrop, Petty classics such as "Free Fallin" and "American Dream" will create just the right mood for a summer evening. Petty Theft, composed of six Bay Area musicians, delivers a sound and rhythm so close to the original that audiences rave about their authenticity. Forsaking costumes to cloak the music, attendees will swear they are listening to Tom Petty himself.
