The music legend -- who is originally from Florida -- recently performed with the Heartbreakers on Sept. 29 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. "Tom Petty seemed upbeat, energetic and his performance was great," a concertgoer tells ET. "He bantered with the audience and, at times, seemed sentimental while reminiscing about his 40 years with the band."

The concertgoer adds that Petty showed no signs of fatigue during the concert and appeared healthy and happy.

Another concert attendee also tells ET that the musician was upbeat during his performance. “Tom looked so happy and full of life on Monday night," says the concertgoer. "He told a bunch of stories about his life and talked about how important his bandmates were to him. He ended the concert with two encores”
