This list isn't endless.
1st of all Petty played 4 songs...not 3: American Girl, Running Down a Dream, Free Fallin and I Won't Back Down.
2nd of All the performers you listed above are pretty much lounge acts with the exception of Neil. BUT:
In January 15, 2006, Diamond performed a concert on the opening night of the new Stockton Arena in Stockton, California. Diamond had been paid a $1,000,000 fee to perform, but, due to slow ticket sales and inadequate time to promote the event, the city budget suffered a nearly $400,000 loss that resulted in the dismissal of the Stockton city manager several days later.
In the mean time: In July 2006, Petty released a new solo album titled Highway Companion. It debuted at number 4 on the Billboard charts. In the mean time he's kicking off a North American Tour in May that will undoubtedly sell out from venue to venue.
I figued when you mentioned performing artists over 30 years you would mention the Stones and maybe Kiss. They still rock. Paul Anka...come on man...sheeeeeeesh
