Bobtalk

August 6, 1986
Paso Robles, California
California Mid-State Fairgrounds
Concert

OK, that was an old song that I recorded. We did that for TV. Anyway I’ll get back to the regular part of the program here. (after Brownsville Girl)

OK I wanna introduce the girls who are singing up here tonight. That's Carolyn Dennis and Louise Bethune, and Madelyn Quebec and Queen Esther Marrow. (before Across The Borderline)

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. (before Like A Rolling Stone)

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. (before In The Garden)

All right Ricky Nelson he did a lot of my songs. I admired him a great deal, we’ll do one of his called Lonesome Town.

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. Ha-ha, I’m gonna need it. (after Blowin' In The Wind)
