OK I wanna introduce Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers now to you. A great band and a great ... full of great talent. Anyway so much crap these days you know passes off as rock ‘n’ roll. It's a real rock ‘n’ roll band here. OK on the keyboards now, yeah I know, I know anybody would sound good with this group, Benmont Tench. Mike Campbell on lead guitar. Stan Lynch on the drums. Howie Epstein on the bass. And of course you know Al Kooper sitting in tonight on keyboards too. Actually I wanna thank our soundman, I haven’t thanked him yet. Ginaro Rippo, he's out there somewhere. And lighting man of course, Stephen Bishop. Ha-ha most of the shows we play in daytime anyway... I wish.

OK I wanna dedicate this next song to anybody out there being punished right now for doing good things. And I know there's enough people being punished for doing bad things.

23. In The Garden

24. Blowin' In The Wind

All right, I’m gonna play these last few songs I guess and hit the road. I'm going off to make a movie now, wish me good luck. I’m gonna need it. Ha ha.
