Tourmates: The Black Crowes
The buzz: The Grammy-winning rocker has been busy hosting his XM Radio show Buried Treasure, which airs hidden gems from his own personal record collection, and this summer's tour is his first with the Heartbreakers since 2003. But even though they haven't released an album of new studio material since 2002's The Last DJ, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers have enough classic material to take them through several encores. The recently reunited Black Crowes, meanwhile, are in the midst of their first tour since fall 2001.
The hits: Petty's "Don't Do Me Like That," "Free Fallin'," "I Won't Back Down" and "Mary Jane's Last Dance"; the Crowes' "Hard to Handle"
