Live at the Fillmore 1997 is a 2022 live album compiling Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 20-concert residency at The Fillmore in San Francisco in January and February 1997. The album includes 58 tracks pulled primarily from the last six concerts performed in the residency.[1][2][3] Those six shows were professionally recorded and tracks from the setlists in those shows have been previously released on The Live Anthology and the 2020 expanded reissue of Petty's 1994 album Wildflowers.

Tom Petty considered the residency by the Heartbreakers at the Fillmore "a highlight of his career" and guitarist Mike Campbell labeled the concerts "some of my favorite gigs ever."[4] During the final concert at the Fillmore, Petty remarked to the audience that, "We all feel this might be the highpoint of our time together as a group… It’s going to be hard to get us off this stage tonight."[1]

In addition to a selection of the Heartbreakers and Tom Petty's solo tracks from their career by 1997, the residency and the album documented the band's music interests and featured performances by guests such as Roger McGuinn and John Lee Hooker.[5] Of the 58 songs included in the collection, 35 are covers of songs by those that influenced, inspired, or performed with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.[3] The first two singles released from the set in September and October 2022 highlighted performances of "Listen to Her Heart" and "I Won't Back Down," while the third single released in early November 2022, "Call Me the Breeze," showcased one of three tracks originally by J. J. Cale covered by the band during the Fillmore residency.[6]
