The Superhighway Tour is a brand new online music experience developed by the Tom Petty Team.  Simply put, it's a direct to consumer digital configuration of the upcoming The Live Anthology – a collection of 48 definitive tracks from 30 years of TPHB live touring. 

The fan value is extraordinary: 48 digital tracks for $24.98.  What is unique is that the digital tracks are presented within a dedicated web site and delivered with truly compelling additional material.  That material adds context, depth and understanding to what is already a career-defining live music anthology.   It includes streaming audio commentary from Tom and the band, historic photos and videos, show reviews, recreated vintage merchandise (for sale), and areas for fans to share their experiences and photos from TPHB shows.

The tracks are delivered as MP3's, but also in FLAC format (lossless audio that is close to Blu Ray quality).  The first 24 tracks, which make up the body of the Superhighway Tour are delivered to the consumer over the 8 week period that leads to street date (11/23/09).  The remaining 24 tracks will be delivered collectively on street date. 

The Superhighway Tour represents a new means of delivering music to fans that is more than a collection of digital files;  but one that deepens fans’ appreciation for, and love of, an artist and their artistry; that reinforces the importance of quality in the music experience; and that rewards a fan’s decision to spend their hard earned dollars.
