Bobtalk

June 12, 1986
Sacramento, California
Cal Expo Amphitheatre
Concert

This is an old song I wrote a while back when I was in my protest period. I'm still in that period actually. (before Masters Of War)

Here's an old song right here, Tom and I are gonna sing for you. I think it was first recorded by Lefty Frizzell. (before I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know)

Ricky Nelson did a lot of my songs so I wanna do one of his. This is called Lonesome Town. (plays Lonesome Town) Thank you. Thank you Ricky.

Thank you. All right I wanna thank Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for backing me up tonight. If there's a better band that's ever played with me I don't know the one. Anyway, on the keyboards, Benmont Tench. On the drums, Stan Lynch. On the lead guitar, Michael Campbell. On the bass guitar, Howie Epstein I especially wanna thank Mr. Tom Petty, a gentleman of the highest order. (before Like A Rolling Stone)

All right, thank you, we .... We're gonna sing Happy Birthday now to somebody. Tom got all these songs that the audience always sings. I don't have any. So this is mine. Anyway, we wanna sing Happy Birthday to a very special person who's here tonight. I didn't get her a present so I wanna sing Happy Birthday that's gonna be my present. Her name is Madelyn.

All right. This song is Rock Me Momma, Don't You Know Your Daddy Wants To Rock.
