Bobtalk

July 6, 1986
Washington, District of Columbia
RFK Stadium
Concert

Thank you. I wanna introduce to you, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.(after Masters Of War)

Ricky Nelson, he did a lot of my songs, so I'm gonna do one of his, Lonesome Town.

You people all wet down there? Getting wet from all that water? Are you really? Yeah, I don't know man. Where I come from water is precious. Need to be used. I think that's a waste of water. You like to be hot right? I know I do. (before I And I)

I forgot to introduce my own Heartbreakers standing over there, Queen Esther Marrow, Madelyn Quebec, Louise Bethune and Carolyn Dennis. (at the start of In The Garden)

All right. Everything all right? (after Shot Of Love)

All right, anybody here know what time it is? What time is it? I'll tell you what time it is. (before Band Of The Hand)

All right now once again, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. (after Ballad Of A Thin Man)

All right, before we go, ha-ha, look at that water coming down. OK now, before we go any further here, I wanna introduce Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It's a rare privilege playing with this band. It really is, I wanna acknowledge that. On the keyboards, Benmont Tench. On the lead guitar Michael Campbell. On the drums, give him a big hand now, Stan Lynch. That's all right, you don't have to clap. Anyway on the bass guitar from Washington D.C., Howie Epstein. I knew I'd make it there. Where you from Howie, which street? 7th Street. I especially wanna thank Mr. Tom Petty himself. He's standing right here. I wanna thank that man over there spraying water on you all. Only spraying it up on top though. Ought to go down to the crowd and spray it all over you. Anyway I'll stay here now, Grateful Dead are coming on. (before Like A Rolling Stone)

All right we'll be back here tomorrow night. So, if you got nothing to do, come on around. (before Knockin' On Heaven's Door)
