This is Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, one
of America’s last great rock ‘n’ roll bands. (after Masters Of
War)
Thank you. Here’s one I wrote about
twenty years ago. About (inaudible). (before It Ain’t Me, Babe)
Thank you. People say that (inaudible) my favorite song too. (inaudible) It was just (inaudible) it’s that
time, that’s all. Anyway, we’re gonna close (inaudible) tonight now. Oh yes, we are. Everybody
(inaudible) their heroes, you know. Lots
of people…their hero may probably be Ronald Reagan. I’m sure you’ve heard of him. And some other people they have heroes. (inaudible) Shut up now! Shut up! Ronald Reagan, he’s a hero. You know, lots
of the heroes even have a hero. Al Pacino is a hero. Oh yes. That’s right,
Richard Price is a hero for those people. Even
Mohammed Ali was a hero for them. That’s
right. And of course, Bruce Springsteen became a hero. But none of those
people are heroes to me. I’ve got my own hero. I wanna
sing you a song about it now. (before In The Garden)
Thank you. You’re a kind audience.
One of the greatest guitar players in the world actually is (…..) was fast
asleep. We go back a few years, he’s been on several
of my records. He helped me produce one. You all know him, because you’ve heard

BobTalk
Thank
you. The name of that song of course was Trust Yourself. If you hadn’t guessed.
All right, thank you all. I wanna introduce to
you right now, one of America’s last great rock ‘n’ roll bands, Tom Petty &
The Heartbreakers. (after Masters Of
War)
We played that already, you missed it, you got here late. [in response to shouts from the audience] We got a song that we wanna play for you,
‘cause it’s kind of like the music we were raised on. We have no idea where all
this music nowadays comes from. Of course the song It’s Alright, Ma, that one
came out of Nashville, anyway (…..). Tom Petty (…..). (sings I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know) We had to do that song ‘cause we
both sing about the same person. [in response to shouts from the audience] Told you man, you missed it.
All right, thank you. That was called House Of
The Risin’ Sun. You’ll find it in New Orleans if you ever take a trip down there.
How are you all doing out there? (…..). You know we can't play it all.
We just have to pick out certain ones, you know. Got any individuals in the
crowd tonight? Anybody out there who thinks for themselves? Well, don't let
anybody take that away now. Always (…..) thing, isn't it? (…..)
they don’t understand. Ain't that the truth? Anybody out there that's
misunderstood in any kind of way? Hmm, you’re a lucky bunch of people. Me, I'm
misunderstood all the time. Just about everything I do is misunderstood. It gets
hard you know. Sometimes even your best friends don't understand. Has that ever
happened to anybody out there? Hmm, maybe once in a while, right? Well, let me
tell you it's OK to be misunderstood. All anybody can do is kill you, right?
All you can do is die, ain't that right? That's not
such a bad thing. There's a lot of things worse than death. Is that right or
not? Hmm, I don't know, maybe it's not. I guess if nobody agrees with me, maybe
it's not right. I'd hate to fall out of agreement with anybody. I guess this
world is run on people who are always in agreement with everybody, ain't that right? People just do what they wanna do anyway. Anyway, this is a song about somebody
who's (sort of) misunderstood some of the time. For all those people out there
I wanna sing this song. (before
Ballad Of A Thin Man)
OK. All right. Uncle Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers are gonna play a
few more songs for you. (after Ballad Of
A Thin Man)
It's about that time of the evening again when we have to bid each other
adieu. But before I get out of here I gotta sing you
all this one song. This is a song about my hero. Everybody got heroes, right?
For lots of people Mohammed Ali's a hero, right? Yeah. And Albert Einstein, he sure was a hero. I guess you
could say even Clark Gable was a hero. Michael Jackson, he's a hero, right? Bruce
Springsteen. I care nothing about them people
though. None of those people are my heroes, they don't mean nothing to me. I'm
sorry but that's the truth. I wanna sing a song about
my hero. (before In The
Garden)
Anybody out there…anybody out there know how to tune a guitar? I don't.
I forgot how to tune a guitar a long time ago. (…..)
tune this guitar? Low string. Well, that's good enough for folk music, right.
This is a song I wanna play for you now called Money Money Money It's So Hard To Get,
Money Money Money It's
Faster Spent, Roll 'Em Over Baby And Rock 'Em Dead.
6 new songs
(24%) compared to previous concert. 6 new songs for this tour.

BobTalk
Thank you, all right. We have a very special
friend here tonight whose birthday is today. So if you all wanna
help me out here, I want to sing Happy Birthday to my very special friend. Her
name is Queen Esther. So, you know Happy Birthday. You know how it goes. It
goes like this.
(sings Happy Birthday) <inaudible>. Anyway,
I had to do that, because I forgot to get her a birthday present.
Thank you. Thank you. Lets have some light up here. A
little bit more light. All right, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are gonna
play a few more songs for you so give 'em a warm
hand. (after Ballad
Of A Thin Man)
All right, we're gonna try something
different here. Here's something I wrote a while back, it’s all about the space
program. I suppose you heard about this tragedy, right? I don’t need to tell
you it really was a tragedy. It was a tragedy , it
really was a tragedy. You see, these people had no business going up there.
Like, there's not enough problems on Earth to solve?
So I wanna dedicate this song to all those poor
people, who were fooled into going up there. (before License To
Kill)
All right, thank you. Thank you very
much. Another hand for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. On the keyboards, Benmont Tench. On the drums, Stan
Lynch. You can do better than that. Playing the bass, Howie Epstein. You can
clap louder than that. On the guitar, Mike Campbell. And on, the center, Tom
Petty himself. You know my singing girls are over there. I know you know who
they are. It’s now that time ... (loud calls from the audience)
Shut up! Shut up! Anyway it's that time of the night when we must part company.
Anyway I wanna sing you a song about my hero.
Everybody's got a hero, right? You know back in the States Ronald Reagan is a big hero to a lot of people.
Sylvester Stallone he's also a hero. Ever heard of
him? Or over here maybe Mad Max is a hero? Yeah we got a lot of
heroes over in the United States at the moment. Michael Jackson, he's one of the biggest. And my good friend Bruce Springsteen. He's turned into quite a hero these days. I'll tell you something. I
don't care nothing about none of these people. I got a different hero. He might
have lived a long time ago, but you know what was good yesterday is still good
today. He's the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. I don't know if these
current heroes are gonna be. (before In The Garden)
<inaudible> and she is here
right here all the way from the shores of the USA. (before Knockin' On Heaven's Door)

Thank you. Good evening. All right, I'm Bob
Dylan, this is Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. <inaudible> Queens Of Rhythm. This is a song I wrote in
my protest song period. Actually, I'm still in that period. It's still relevant
don't you think. Well this is one I wrote a pretty long time ago, but it still
holds up pretty good. And we're gonna do it for you now called Masters Of War.
Thank you. That last song was called
Lenny Bruce. It's off some obscure record that I made. <rest mostly inaudible>
Thank you. All right, Like A Rolling
Stone. All right, it's that time of the evening again when we must part
company. It always happens. Anyway, I want to sing you a song about my hero.
Everybody has a hero these days. I know I got one. Sylvester Stallone he's one. Anti-hero. I think so.
Ronald Reagan is a hero to many people. [booing] I know, I know, but he is. Michael Jackson, he's a hero. Bruce Springsteen he's a big hero. Anyway <loud calls from the audience> Shut up! I don't care nothing about those
people, none of those people are heroes to me. I wanna
tell you now about my hero. (before In The Garden)

All right. This is a song I wrote about twelve
years ago in my <cough> protest period. And I'm still kind of in that
period. All right, there's still certainly a lot to protest about, ain't that right? Anyway, I wrote this about at least
twenty years ago and it still holds up pretty good so I'm gonna sing it for you
now. Called Masters Of War.
Thank you, all right, you’re a very
kind audience! All right, I gotta get out of here now
for a minute now. I'm gonna leave you with one of the last great American Rock
and Roll bands. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Give them a warm hand. (after Masters Of
War).
Thank you. I broke a string on that
last song. Somewhere in the first verse. <inaudible> Some performers they just stop when that happens. Anyway, you know,
I’m from the States <inaudible>
I come from someplace called the Midwest. I figure if I had come from the South
I'd probably either killed somebody or been killed by this time. Anyway, hmm I
used to know this special person up there and I wrote this song for her a long
time ago. (before Girl Of The North Country)
Thank you. I wanna
bring Tom Petty here now. I wanna do a song that
people used to rave about. This is a song they used to play on the radio. They
don’t play this kind of stuff anymore. I wanna sing
you a song with <inaudible>. (before I Forgot More Than You'll Ever
Know)
All right. Anyway, you know
Tennessee Williams he died in a hotel room in New
York City. He was one of America’s great artists <inaudible> appreciate it. In fact people are doing now today much far worse
things than he ever did and they’re making lots of money cash. I’m writing a
song about another guy. I wrote this one a while back because I figured he
deserved it. He deserves something, he didn’t get anything at all when he was
alive, that’s for sure. And just like Tennessee Williams, there are people now
who are much further than he did, but he laid his body down for them. (before
Lenny Bruce)
All right, thank you. This is a song
I wrote a while back, about .... People keep asking me questions. <loud calls from the audience> Shut up now! Shut up! <cheering> They’re always asking me questions that you
can’t or anybody else can’t answer, you know. So, you know like “what's your
political life like? Or your religious life?” Personal questions like ..., you
know even about your love life. So anyway, I don't answer any of them
questions. People are asking me about my songs <inaudible> You know, because there comes a time when
people have to be put in their place, ain't that right? It even happens to me once in a while.
And I'm glad when, when someone puts me in my place. Cause sometimes, that
needs to be done. Anyway this here is a song about somebody else that I figured
I just had to put in his place. I’m not sure if he’s still there. I don't even
know if he got there. (before Ballad Of A Thin
Man)
All right, everybody must get
stoned! That's a song that can be sung in a couple of tones and took a couple
of ways. Like that. Well here's one that can only be taken one way. Only taken
one way. You see if you can figure out what that is. (before Seeing The
Real You At Last)
Thank you, all right. It’s about
that time of the evening again when we must part company. Anyway, I just want
to sing you a song about my hero. You know, everybody’s got their heroes today.
<audience:
Hurricane!> You know, where I come
from, Sylvester Stallone is a big hero, awfully big hero <inaudible> Ronald Reagan’s a hero to many people <booing in the audience> Oh, I know, I know, but he’s still a hero
to a lot of people you know. Michael Jackson,, he’s giant <inaudible> You know, I don’t care nothing about none
of those people. None of those people are heroes to me. I’ll sing a song right
now about my hero. (before In The Garden)

BobTalk
Thank you. This is a song I wrote about twenty,
twenty or thirty years ago, at least. It was in my so called protest period.
Still kind of in that period really. Oh yes, I am. Yes, I am. And ..., there's
still plenty to protest about I guess. Anyway this one
I wrote, like I said, twenty or thirty years ago and it still holds out so I wanna play it for you now, called Masters Of War.
Thank you. I wanna
introduce you now to one of the finest Rock and Roll bands in the United States
and certainly one of my favorites. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. (after Masters Of
War)
Anybody here who hasn't heard of
Tennessee Williams. Ah, I guess not. Anyway he was a great playwright. He's written some
great stuff. From New Orleans, Louisiana. He wrote stuff like "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Sweet Bird Of Youth" and “Fugitive Kind”, all that kind of stuff. Anyway, he died a few years back in New York
City. Nobody even found him till the next day. In his last days he really
couldn't get a job. And there’s another artist like that. He couldn't get a job
either really, but he was way before his time. A lot of people picked up on
what he did, and they took it around. They stole it from him after he was dead.
And they're making plenty of money now, and they've all got big names. So I
thought maybe just for his sake somebody had to say something about it, so I
took it upon myself to write a song about him one time. And I'd like to play
that song for you now. (before Lenny Bruce)
Thank you. We're in Lonesome Town,
learning to forget. Sometimes you got to do that. God knows, there's enough to
remember. You got to find someplace to forget about it all. All right now,
here's another song I wrote quite a while back. May be forty-five years ago.
Anyway, this one still holds up too. I'm almost surprised myself. Anyway, you
know famous people they have to do press conferences. I'm sure you've heard about
them. And you sit there and you kind of face ... shut up, please! ... so you sit there and you’re faced by oh maybe a hundred, two
hundred people and they're all asking .... Did someone get hurt? <comment regarding ambulance
sirens>. So they ask you all different
questions about your personal life, you know. Your politics, your religion, your love
life, your sex life, just about everything. And, you know, it don't make no sense to answer these kind of questions, to me
or anybody else really. I just don’t think it’s a good idea to be answering
personal questions. I figure a person’s life speaks for itself. So, every once
in a while somebody got to put somebody in their place, so I wrote a song about
that. Puttin’ somebody in their place. You got to do that
once in a while. It just so happens that way. I know sometimes once in a while
I got to be put in my place, and I rather appreciate it actually. <girl
shouting in the audience> Why, you got
such a loud mouth! So, you wanna
come up on stage and sing a song? I been doing this for forty years longer than
you have. What do you wanna say that's so important? <inaudible
response> Well, just get up! Climb
over there I'm not gonna stop ya.
You think some bullies gonna hit you on the head? No, you be a good girl. (plays
Ballad Of A Thin Man) Thanks a lot! I wanna thank that beautiful
girl for her perfectly Nashville sweater. Once more Tom Petty and the
Heartbreakers.
Name of that song was Everybody Must
Get Stoned. You can take that a couple of ways. Can be taken a couple of ways,
that song, Everybody Must Get Stoned. Everybody must get their guitar tuned up.
So, anyway. here's a song that can’t be taken one way. Just one meaning to
that. Here it is now. (before Seeing The Real You At Last)
Thank you, thank you for coming. I wanna thank Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for backing me
up tonight. On the keyboards, Benmont Tench. On the drums, Stan Lynch. Bass guitar, Howie
Epstein. Michael Campbell on lead guitar. I especially wanna
thank Mr. Tom Petty. And of course my singing partners, the Queens of Rhythm. (before Like A Rolling Stone)
Still feels the same. Never change.
All right now, we gonna close up here. <inaudible>. I'll sing you a song
about my hero. Everybody has got a hero. I don't know who your particular hero
is. Where I come from my hero wears a brown wig and he's a big hero too.
Michael Jackson, he's a big hero. Of course Mr. Woody
Woodpecker. Ha-ha-ha. Bruce Springsteen. Oh who? John Williams? I guess so he’s a hero. Yeah. Anyway none of
those people mean nothing to me. They ain't my hero.
I'm gonna sing a song about my hero. (at the start of In The
Garden).

BobTalk
It's cold up here tonight. Is it cold out
there? A cold place. (....) I wanna sing a song now that
I recorded about twenty years ago. During my (cough, cough) protest period. I'm sort of still in that period (....) called Masters
Of War. It meant something then and it still does now.
Thank you. I wanna
introduce you to America's finest Rock n Roll band, certainly one of my
favorites, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
All right, you know I come from the
United States, an awful big country. And it has lots of different parts. People
are sort of different all over the place. Anyway, I come from like a part
called the Midwest. It's kind of nice there at certain parts of the year. If
you go up South, by this time I'd either have been killed, or killed somebody,
so I figured I was kind of lucky to grow up down there. You know of course if I
had grown up out on the West I'd have been a Beach Boy! East, I never really
did consider, ha-ha. Here's a song about someone I used to know a long time
ago. Seems like just the other day, though. (before Girl Of The
North Country)
All right, Tom's gonna come back up,
(....) we just feel like we wanna play this song.
This is the kind of music that we as kids were raised up on. Sounds like this.
No kind of guitar loose. Anyway they used to play
these kind of things on the radio all the time. As I suppose now you can't hear
a real song on the radio. It wasn't always the same. Most of the time you just
don't. But we were just fortunate enough to come up during a time when they
used to play real songs with real feelings on the radio. This one is kind of
synonymous. (before
I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know)
All right, hmm. Anybody here who
hasn't heard of Tennessee Williams? I guess everybody knows who that is. Anyway, he wrote these incredible
lines you know, he says, what he say again, "I'm not looking for your
pity, but just your understanding. Not even that, no, just your recognition of
you and me and the beginning of time in us all." I used to think about
those lines a lot. Anyway, you can't hear stuff like "A Streetcar Named
Desire" and "Fugitive Kind" you've heard of these all kinds of places. A few years back he
died in New York City hotel room all by himself and nobody even found him until
the next day. He was there because he couldn't get a job. A man who does that
(....) Anyway, here's another person who I listen to. Kind of a bit before his time actually. I thought he was right on time, but I guess
most everybody else didn't. He was about ten years older than his time. What he
did back then he got crucified for, other people do it now and make a lot of
money doin’ it. And I never would write a song about
them, but I did write a song about this man. (before Lenny Bruce)
All right, thank you. You know the
kind of people that always say "impress me, impress me". As if they
can't impress themselves. People always sitting in judgment on you. I bet
everybody knows somebody like that. I know quite a few. I don't pay no attention
to them though. They don't bother me none. Still, however, every once in a
while I (....). Cause I ain't got no way of getting
back you know. Can't shoot them. Some people just ain't
worth shooting. So the only kind of way I get back is to write songs. I wish
everybody could do that, surely. (before When The Night Comes Falling From The
Sky)
Thank you. Without a Lonesome Town
you forget. You gotta go someplace to forget. God
knows there's enough to remember, huh? All right, here's another song. I'm
almost embarrassed to play it. I wrote it 40 years ago. Anyway, this one was
called, subtitled “Famous people”, I always tell the story when I do this song.
Famous people always get in the position where they have to do what they call
Press Conferences. You get a lot of people from newspapers. It used to be just
news readers but now it's TV and stuff like that. And they ask you a lot of
questions and you're supposed to answer them all. Most of the questions have to deal with your
personal life. You know like ..., you can't tell them that because then they
may put that in the paper, ha-ha-ha, so you have to do it some other kind of
way. Everybody seems to want to know personal things like, politics religious
things, sexual things. I don't know why they feel they can ask me those things,
but I don't reply to those kind of questions. I let my
songs speak for themselves. Not only that, a person’s life speaks for itself.
Don't matter what you say, don't matter at all anyway. It's what you do that
counts. Here's one of those songs now, just had to be done one time. Put
somebody in their place. Every once in a while somebody's got to be put into
their place. Cause they don't want to go. But it's a good thing to put somebody
in their place. If you get the opportunity to do it, you should do it. It's
even happened to me a few times. I've been put in my place and I’d rather
appreciate it in the long run. So I'm gonna tell you now, if you know you're
right you just go on ahead. And put somebody in their place. (plays Ballad Of
A Thin Man) Thank you! Once again now Tom
Petty and the Heartbreakers.
All right, yeah! Everybody must get
stoned. It's out of my hands now. That can be taken a couple of ways, though.
Various things can be taken a couple of ways. So here's one that can't be.
Thank you. I wanna
thank Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for backing me up tonight. On the
keyboards, give him a warm hand, Benmont Tench. On the bass tonight, Howie Epstein. On the drums,
Stan Lynch. OK, is that a big enough hand for you? Stan Lynch on the drums,
give him another hand. Playing lead guitar tonight, Mike Campbell. I especially
wanna thank Mr. Tom Petty himself standing there. And
of course my singing partners, the singing Queens of Rhythm. (before Like A Rolling Stone)
All right. We're gonna get out of
here, it's about that time of the night. A little late for me, it's way past my
bedtime. You’ve been a great crowd, I hope we played good. (....) hard waking
up, it takes a while. Anyway, I’m gonna sing a song now about my hero.
Everybody's got a hero, I know they do. Shut up there! Everybody's got a hero I
know they do. Whether you admit it or not, you do. Some people’s hero is ...
well, women. Money is a great hero. Success is a great hero. Tom Petty is a
great hero. Ha-ha. This man's a hero, ha-ha. Jane Fonda's a hero. Michael Jackson is a big hero. And of course
Bruce Springsteen. None of these people mean nothing to me though. I don't care. I wanna sing about my hero. (before In The Garden)

BobTalk
Motorcycle gang huh huh.
God knows a person needs all the help he can get. I'll take it from anybody. (before Trust Yourself)
Thank you. This is a song here I
wrote about twenty or thirty years ago. In my so called
protest period. I'm still in that period. Don't let anybody fool you. Anyway,
this one holds up pretty well so I still do it. It's called Masters Of War.
Thank you! I wanna
introduce you right now to one of America's finest Rock ‘n’ Roll bands and
they’re one of my favorites. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. (after Masters Of
War)
Here's a song I wrote a long time
ago. About a friend of mine, one time. I haven't seen her for about twenty or
thirty years, but every time I sing this song I think about her. (before Girl Of
The North Country)
Anyway, I do this song to show that
your life is not a personality contest. No matter what people think of you. (before Lenny Bruce)
All right, thank you. This is a song
I had out a while ago on my last record that I made. My 65th, actually I have
about 300 albums out. I don't really know where they are, but they're not
selling. So this is a song I wrote about people sitting judgment on other
people. I can't stand this kind of people. I hate people sitting judgment on
other people. People you got to impress all the time. I can't stand that kind
of stuff. (before
When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky)
Right, going down to Lonesome Town.
Trying to forget. There is a lot to forget. All right, here's another old song
I wrote a while back. Funny how these songs keep coming back. Every once in a
while we got to put somebody in their place. I know it's not a good experience,
but sometimes it must be done. And if somehow, .... what is it? Oh yeah? I will
not ...., I've never
heard of him actually before. Anyway, yeah, you may have to put somebody in
their place. It's a good thing to put somebody in their place, it needs to be
done sometimes. I know I've been put in my place a few times and I’ve rather
appreciated it in the long run. It's made me kind of appreciate better things
actually. But don't you be afraid to do that once in a while now, because if
nobody does it, it never gets done. Sometimes it's things that you know a lie
won't do. And a lie’s a good thing cause it sometimes
gets used in the wrong way. (before Ballad Of A Thin Man)
All right, everybody must get
stoned! That can be taken two different ways. Quite a few of my songs can be
taken a few different ways. Sometimes we do something out of the ordinary,
people will be stoned. I wish I could get the time one day. However, here's a
song that can be taken but one way. (before Seeing The
Real You At Last)
I wanna
thank Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for backing me up tonight. On the
keyboards, give him a big hand, Benmont Tench. On the bass, Howie Epstein. Playing drums tonight,
Stan Lynch. Give him a big hand. On lead guitar, Michael Campbell. I also wanna especially thank Mr. Tom Petty. And ahh, my singing
partners of course the Queens of Rhythm. (....) (before Like A Rolling Stone)
I wanna
say goodnight now. It's way past my bedtime. I wanna
sing a song about my hero. I know everybody's got their own special hero. Some people’s
hero is money. Some people’s hero is success. Some people’s hero is, hmmm
Michael Jackson. Some people’s hero is Rudolph Valentino. And of course some people’s hero is Bruce Springsteen. Anyway, I don't care nothing about those people they don't mean
nothing to me. I wanna sing you about my hero. (before In The
Garden)

BobTalk
Thank you! The Queens of Rhythm! (after Clean-Cut Kid)
How are you? Sometimes it's hard to find people
who understand me. (before
Trust Yourself)
Thank you. I wrote this song about
seven years ago I think, in my so called folk song, protest period. Anyway, I
still play this. It seems to hold up really well though, ha-ha. (plays Masters Of
War) Thank you. I wanna
introduce you now to one of America's last great rock ‘n’ roll bands and surely
one of my favorites. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Thank you! Well, I just read another
concert review the other day. It said “Bob’s sounding like a parody of himself.
He sounds just exactly like he’s imitating himself”. I should like to know who
I’m supposed to sound like, you know. I know it’s hard when so many people
sound like me these days. But someday, somebody got to tell these people that
I’m still here. Well, I can’t sound like anybody else. I don’t know how to. If
I did, I would. (before
It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding))
Tom and I are gonna do a song for
you right now. We used to hear these songs all the time when we were growing
up. You can't hear them anymore. Very seldom you hear real songs anymore. Well,
we were lucky to grow up, when you could hear them all the time. All you had to
do was switch on the radio and you could hear them. (before I Forgot More Than You'll
Ever Know)
Thank you, all right. Here's a song
I wrote a while back about one of America's greatest forgotten men. This man
was just a little bit before his time. He said some things which got him into
trouble with the wrong people. But there’s a lot of people right now saying a
lot of things much worse than he ever could have dreamed of. And of course
they're making millions of dollars and they've got nice houses and drive fast
cars. And they got lots of pretty women. He didn't have none of that stuff at
all. (before Lenny
Bruce)
All right, thank you. Here's a,
here's a song I wrote a while back, it's on a record called "Empire
Burlesque". I don't know if it's out here yet. I think it's out of print
in America. Anyway, it's kind of my response to people, you know those kind of people that sit around and judge you all the
time? I don't know if any of you ever had that experience. You know people that
constantly say "Impress me" until you get the feeling that you got to
impress 'em all the time. Judges. They send judgement
on you all the time. I don't like those kind of people.
(before When the
Night Comes Falling from the Sky)
Thank you, "Lonesome
Town", got tears to forget. God knows there's enough to forget. All right,
this is a little song I wrote a while back, after a, oh how long? Oh shit ...
twenty years maybe, maybe more. I forgot how old I am, I'll tell you. All
right, so you know famous people they're always suppose to
do these things called "press conferences". And everybody sits around
and asks me questions about your personal life. I don't mind answering
questions about music things, but I can't stand answering questions about my
personal life. You know. For some people enjoy that, I just don't. Anyway-er,
they want to know about your politics, and your religious life, and your sex
life. I don't answer none of those questions. I figure I write about that
stuff. So if you... anyway, so whatever a person says, it's the person's life
that speaks for itself, right? So every once in a while, you know, you got to
put somebody into place. They don't want to go in their place, but it's like
what's happening in the Philippines right now. Somebody's being put in their
place! Every so often, it's got to be done. And if you don't want to do it,
somebody else will. It's a good thing though to be put in your place, it's
happened to me a few times actually. I've rather appreciated the experience in
the long run. So here's a song about putting somebody in their place. If you
ever need to do it, don't you be afraid now, 'cause
don't forget, if you don't do it, it might not get done! (Before Ballad of a Thin Man)
All right, "everybody must get
stoned". I write a lot of songs that can be taken like a couple of
different ways, that's one of them. But — here's one that can't be taken but
just one way. (before
Seeing The Real You At Last)
Thank you. Thas
called Borderline. For all you rock critics who are out there. Don't forget
that rock critics did to Elvis now. (after Across The
Borderline)
Thank you. I wanna,
I wanna thank Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for
backing me up tonight. On the keyboards, give him a warm hand, Benmont Tench. All right, on the
drums, Stan Lynch. Playing the bass and the mandolin, Howie Epstein. All right
on lead guitar, Mike Campbell. I especially wanna
thank Tom Petty. And of course my sweet singing partners over on the left. (before Like A Rolling Stone)
All right. Yeah, we gonna get out of
here now. Yeah. We got to go. It's way past my bedtime, I don't know about you.
Anyway we always sing this last song here. It's about my hero. Everybody’s got
a hero. Some people got a hero, lots of different heroes. Money is a hero,
success is a hero. To lots of people Michael Jackson's a hero. Bruce Springsteen, John Wayne, everybody's got a hero. Shut up you! Well, I wanna
sing about my hero, I don't care about those heroes. I have my own hero. (before In The

BobTalk
Thank you. Good evening. You were good last
night. I hope the place is full. This is a song I wrote a while back in my
protest period. I'm still into that period actually. I been making a lot of
detours. (before
Masters Of War)
I can't do that. I don't know what
key to do that in. I'd like to do it later. If I knew what key I was in. I can
play it but I can't sing it. It's too late. (after interrupting Dark Eyes)
Thank you. I wrote this next song
about one of America's most forgotten artists. A man made before his time. Once
in a while you meet somebody just like him. Anyway this is a man who had to
fight to survive, and the same things he did <recording breaks> (before Lenny Bruce)
Thank you. Lonesome Town. I did that
of course for the very great Ricky Nelson. I hope I did that OK? I ain't gonna say nothing about this song. I'm sure you all know
what it's all about. But I tell you this. (before Ballad Of A
Thin Man)
Here’s a song about my hero.
Everybody’s got their own hero. I don't know who your hero is. Maybe Mel
Gibson. Alright! Let’s hear it for Mel Gibson. Maybe ?
your hero will be.. Michael Jackson. Bruce Springsteen. Oh..
Anyway. Now I don’t care nothing about none of those people. I got my own hero.
I’m gonna sing it..
about my hero now. (before In The
Garden).

Thank you! This is a song I wrote a while back,
during my protest period. I’m still in that period! I know you are too. Anyway,
actually I wrote this about 50 years ago, it still holds up, so I’m gonna sing
it for you now. It’s called Masters Of War.
Thank you. I wanna
introduce to you right now to one of the masters ..., top rock ‘n’ roll band,
certainly one of my favorites, Tom Petty And The
Heartbreakers.
(after Masters Of War).
All right, Tom Petty’s coming back
up here now. We’re gonna sing an old song, the kind of song you could hear on
the radio so much. You don’t hear this kind of song no more. It’s too bad,
really. (before I
Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know).
Thank you! Right down a lonesome
town <inaudible> Too much to remember. I wrote this song a
while back after a press conference that I was doing in London. I had 650
people asking me questions. I didn’t want to answer any and I didn’t answer
any. I guess I wrote this about .... anybody out there know any people that
judge you all the time? I know about a bunch too. People love to judge everybody.
(before Ballad Of A Thin Man).
Thank you! I wanna
thank Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers for backing me up tonight. On keyboards,
give him a hand, Benmont Tench.
On the bass, Howie Epstein. All right, on the drums, Stan Lynch. Playing lead
guitar, Mike Campbell. I especially want to thank Mr. Tom Petty himself. Tom’s
gonna jump right down into the middle of you all in a minute. And of course my
singing partners over on the left. Give them a hand too! (before Like A Rolling Stone).
All right, thank you. We’re gonna
get out of here now. <inaudible> I shouldn’t had get up today. Anyway here’s
a song about my hero. Everybody’s got their special heroes. <inaudible> Maybe Mel Gibson is your special hero. <inaudible> Bruce Springsteen’s a hero. I don’t care about any of
those people. I got my own hero. (before In The Garden).

Thank you.
That was a recent hit of mine. Ha-ha. I'll play you an old time song I wrote
about fifty years ago, during my protest period. I'm still in that period. I
suppose everybody else is too. I know some of you are. Anyway this one I wrote
a while back. It still holds up, so I still sing it. It's called Masters Of War.
Thank
you. I happened to be here before, so I know a lot of people know me, but right
now I want to introduce you to one of America's last great Rock and Roll bands,
certainly my favorite. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. (after
Masters Of War)
All
right. I’ll sing an old song for you that used to be on the radio one time. You
don’t hear songs like that on the radio anymore, that's for sure. (before
I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know)
This
is a song I wrote a while back about a man who died before his time. Did a lot
of things that a lot of people weren't too pleased with.
And when they gave him a real rough time for doing it, and he <inadible> in a
kind of a strange way, they just did away with it. But that was about twenty
years ago. Now today people are doing just the same things he did only they're
not doing it as good, but they’re making a lot of money doing it, they’re
living in nice big houses, and they’re being very successful at it. So,
sometimes you know you got to be incredibly, incredibly ????.
I wrote this song a while back specially for him. (before Lenny Bruce)
I
was over in England one time doing a press conference. And that was the first
time I ever gave a press conference where I didn't want to answer any of the
questions. I didn't answer any of 'em. From that
point on I stopped answering questions. People wanna
know just all about your personal life you know, where I came from anyway.
That’s very impolite. Anyway I wrote this thing here. Try to have my say again,
I don’t know if it ever reached anybody who's supposed to reached, actually got
hurt, but it made me feel better to write it. (before
Ballad Of A Thin Man)
Thank
you. Domo, domo, domo. Anyway, everybody must get stoned. You know that can be
taken a couple of different ways. Quite a few of my songs can be taken quite a
bunch of different ways really. At least two or three. Well, here's one,
actually the first for me, that’s can’t be taken but one way. (before
Seeing The Real You At Last)
I
wanna thank Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for
backing me up tonight. On the keyboards, give him a warm hand, Benmont Tench. On the drums,
please, Mr. Stan Lynch. On the bass guitar, Howie Epstein. Playing lead guitar
tonight, Michael Campbell. And I especially want to thank Mr. Tom Petty
himself. [starts song] Oh, and my girl singers there, sorry about that, I sing,
they go every place with me. You got to clap for them too. (before
Like A Rolling Stone)
Thank
you. All right. Gotta get out of here now. Got to hit the road. Ha-ha. Don’t
know where we gonna go but ... it’s past my bedtime. All right, anyway I wanna sing a song about my hero. Everybody’s got their own
special hero, where I come from we got, <calls
from the audience> ... excuse me? ...
anyway, all kinds of heroes where I come from, John Wayne, Clark Gable, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen. Anyway I
don't care nothing about none of those people, I got my own hero. I wanna sing about my hero now. (before In The Garden)

Thank you.
Domo domo. That was a recent hit of mine. Here's an
old hit. This was during my protest period. I'm still in that period. Anyway, I
wrote this about thirty years ago. It still holds up so I still do it. Called
Masters Of War.
Domo,
domo, domo. “It's all right Ma, it's life and life only”. That's what I used to
say to my Ma all the time. She'd say “I know it is Bob”. We're gonna sing you
an old song. Used to play this on the radio when we were growing up we used to
hear songs like this on the radio all the time. You don't hear this kind of
stuff too much anymore. It's kind of tragic actually. (before
I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know)
Thank
you. Here's a song I wrote a while back, seems just like yesterday. Anyway I
guess I wrote this one after doing what they call those press conferences. I
did one in London, England one time and I didn't really want to answer no
questions, so I didn't. Sometimes you got to do that. Anyway I wanna sing this song for you now, just like I wrote it
then, just like I sing it now. The same thing, yesterday, today and tomorrow.
(before Ballad Of A Thin Man)
Thank
you. Domo, domo. Everybody must get stoned. Well, I don't know, that can be
taken a couple of different ways. Lot's of my songs
can. Here's one that can't be though. This one can be taken only one way.
(before Seeing The Real You At Last)
I
wanna thank Tom Petty band for backing me up tonight.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers! On the keyboards, Benmont
Tench. On the drums, Stan Lynch. Playing bass
tonight, Howie Epstein. On lead guitar, Michael Campbell. I especially wanna thank Mr. Tom Petty himself. (before
Like A Rolling Stone)
Thank
you. All right, we're gonna sing this last song here now. It's all about my
hero. Everybody's got a hero. Where I come from there's a lot of heroes.
There's sure plenty of 'em. John Wayne, Clark Gable, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, they're all heroes to some people.
Anyway, I don't care nothing about those people. I have my own hero. I'm gonna
sing about him right now. (before In The
Garden)
Thank
you. We're gonna try to play this song here. I remember ..., I think it was
back in the fifties, the late fifties, this song was played on the radio a lot.
And I know it meant a lot, a lot to us then. Never did understand the words to
it, but I think it did become top, top record on the charts. And I used to hear
it all the time. Never did forget it. Can't remember any of the words, but
we're gonna play the melody anyway. (before

BobTalk
Thank you. That was a recent hit of mine. Sold
about three records ha-ha-ha. Here's one, ha-ha, here’s one a little older. (after That Lucky Old Sun)
All right, I wanna
take a little break here. I wanna introduce you to
one of America's finest rock ‘n’ roll bands, certainly one of my favorites, Tom
Petty and the Heartbreakers. (after Masters Of War)
Thank you. All right, here's a song
about recognition. Or lack of recognition. Tennessee Williams, it was he who said "I don't ask for your pity, just your
understanding. Not even that, but just your recognition of me in you. At times
the enemy in us all." Anyway, Tennessee Williams, he got a pretty drastic
life too. He kind of died all by himself in a New York City Hotel room. Without
a friend in the world. Another man died like that, except Tennessee Williams
did have some success. This man didn't have too much success, but he started a
lot of people off. People who came, picked up on what he did and took it someplace else and made a lot
of money and became very successful. And he died in a lonely grave. (before Lenny Bruce)
Thank you. All right, that was for
Hugh McGhee wherever you are. This is a song
I wrote a while back in response to people who ask me questions all the time.
You just get tired of that every once in a while. You just don't want to answer
no more questions. I figure a person’s life speaks for itself, right? So, every once in a while you got to do this kind of thing, you
got to put somebody in their place. Where I come from, there’s a lot of people
who aren’t exactly in their place they should be, so every
once in a while somebody has got to come and put them in their place. I
don't know whether it's like that over here or not. I hope it's not. But this
is a song .... It's not a bad thing to be put in your place, I didn't say that.
It's actually a good thing. It's been done to me every once in a while and I've
always appreciated it. So this is my response to something that happened over
in England. I think it was about '63, '64. Anyway the song still holds up.
Seems to be people around still like that. So I still sing it. It's called
Ballad Of A Thin Man.
Thank you. Domo, domo, domo, I love
that word, ha-ha . All right then once again now give
them a warm hand. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. (after Ballad Of A
Thin Man)
Thank you. Ha-ha. Everybody must get
stoned. Of course that can be taken two ways. This here next song, this can be
taken only one way. I'll play it for you if I can get my guitar into tune. Oh!
it just came on! (before
Seeing The Real You At Last)
Thank you. I wanna
thank Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for backing me up tonight. On the
keyboards, give him a warm hand, Benmont Tench. On the drums, Stan Lynch. On the bass guitar, Howie
Epstein. On lead guitar, Michael Campbell. I especially want to thank Mr. Tom
Petty himself. And of course I never go anywhere without my singing partners
over there. They go by all kinds of names. But they go everywhere with me. And
they hold me up in more ways than one. I wanna thank
them too. Thank you girls. (before Like A Rolling Stone)
Thank you. We're gonna play this
song here as the last song of the night. This is about my hero. Everybody's got

Domo Domo. Ha-ha,
here's an old song I wrote many years ago. It's from my protest period. I'm
still in that period. Anyway, I wrote this a while back. I could never write
another one as good, so I still keep singing this one. It still holds up, so
I'm gonna sing it again tonight, it's called Masters Of
War.
Thank you, thank you! All right! I wanna introduce you right now to one of America's top rock
and roll bands. Certainly one of my favorites. One of
the last great rock ‘n’ roll bands, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. (after Masters Of
War)
Thank you. I broke a string on that
last one, so I ..., did the best I can all right? OK, here's an old song that
they used to play on the radio a lot. When we were growing up. Songs like this
you don't hear anymore. It’s about ..., I guess you can say this is about a guy
who thinks he knows, but he really doesn't. Somebody else knows more. But you
know sometimes you can't tell people that. You got to let them find it out for
themselves. So, it's a song about that sort of thing. (before I Forgot More Than You'll
Ever Know)
Here's a song I wrote a while back
about a guy who died pretty miserably actually. I figured I didn't write this
song, nobody would so, somebody had to write it. There's a great American
playwright named Tennessee Williams. He said, "I'm not looking for your pity, I just want your
understanding. No, not even that, but just your recognition of me and you and
time, the enemy in us all." Anyway, he died pretty miserably too. So this
is a man who got no recognition really during his lifetime. But he laid down a
lot of road for a lot of people to walk on. People still walking on that road,
making lots of money, living in fine houses. Have plenty of women and eating
good food. And he didn't have none of them things. (before Lenny Bruce)
Lonesome Town. We dedicate that of
course to the late, great, Ricky Nelson. Thank you. Everybody must get stoned. That's one of them songs can be
taken a couple of different ways. Here's one that can’t be taken but one way.
Just one way and one way only. (before Seeing The Real You At Last)
I want to do this song here now for
a very special person, a request. I don't usually do this one but I'm gonna try
it anyway. (before
We Three (My Echo, My Shadow And Me))
Thank you. I wanna
thank Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for backing me up tonight. I must say
certainly the best band I've ever worked with. On the keyboards, Benmont Tench. On the drums, give
him a hand, Stan Lynch. On the bass guitar, Howie Epstein. Lead guitar, Michael
Campbell. I especially wanna thank Mr. Tom Petty
himself. Thank you Tom. And of course my singing
partners over there on the other side of the screen. I can't go nowhere without
them. Thank you girls. I also wanna
thank you all for coming. We had a real nice time in Japan. I wish it was my
first night instead of the last night. But it's too bad, that's just the way it
is. I hope we can come back here real soon though. I know I would look forward
to that. [Tom
Petty: "Have a hand for Bob Dylan"] Thank you. Oh, you’re too sweet. (before Like A Rolling Stone)
Thank you. We’ll play this last song
and hit the road. Anyway, it's a song I wrote. I write songs about all kinds of
things. This song here's about my hero. Everybody's got a hero. Where I come
from heroes are ..., John Wayne, Boris Karloff, Henry Winkler, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon. Anyway, I don't care nothing about any of those people. I have my own
hero. (before In The Garden)
Thank you. We like to play this song
here. It meant something when we were growing up in the fifties, the late
fifties. This song came up on the radio. I know it meant a lot to us at that
time. Never did meet the man who wrote it, but I understand now it's too late to do
that. Well, maybe sometime. (before Sukiyaki)
