Remastered ‘Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party’ to stream on Paramount+

Paramount+ will release a remastered version of Cameron Crowe’s 1983 documentary Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party on March 11.

The long-lost documentary followed Petty and the Heartbreakers during their 1982-83 tour for the album Long After Dark, originally airing on MTV in 1983. The newly restored version of the film includes a new intro from Crowe, along with 20 minutes of previously unreleased footage, live performances, and footage of Petty and the band.  You can view a trailer for the restored film – HERE.

A press release reads: “The highly anticipated film, restored from its original 16mm source, is an era-defining look at rock & roll that captures Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers as they finish, promote and tour the groundbreaking Long After Dark album, the band’s third and final project with legendary producer Jimmy Iovine.”

The film was released in theaters back in October to coincide with Petty’s 74th birthday, but has remained unseen since its 1983 premiere on MTV; Crowe said in a statement: “Heartbreakers Beach Party occupies a special place in my heart. Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers leaned into the making of the film with a kind of hilarious music-filled honesty that still feels fresh forty years later. I’m especially happy to add a postscript with the never-seen outtake footage I always treasured. The fact that the original film was yanked from MTV after only one airing shows that it was, and still is, an outlandish feast for fans in the best ways. Turn it up!!””
