Well. That's the first time I've ever played that. Well anyway we know where we are. (after Kansas City)
OK, anybody out there know what time it is? Right? Tom Parker, put it away. I'm gonna tell you what time it is. It's Hell time. (before Band Of The Hand)
Ricky Nelson he did a lot of my songs. I wanna do one of his. This is called Lonesome Town. (plays Lonesome Town) Thank you Ricky.
Ok, all right, we’re still just across that borderline. Cause you’re in the middle of the country here. Oh yeah, somebody asked me backstage about the remark I said before about people being in prison for doing good things? Well, I don't know how many people are living in prison for doing good things but ..., I was gonna dedicate that to, I'm sure there's some people in there who have been put in there unjustly. So I dedicate it to all of them. (before I And I)
Thank you. Last time I was here, I think I was here about '81, '83. Uptown Theater or wherever it was, I don’t care, yeah, Uptown Theatre right. Anyway, we played this song last time and nobody had heard it that time, it was the first time. One of the very few times I played it. Since that time it's been recorded so a lot of people have heard it though. I’m gonna play it again here. Besides there were some people there that night that are also in this crowd tonight and they asked me to please play it again. (before In The Garden)
OK. One of our ..., one of America's foremost poets is out in the house tonight, I wanna introduce him, Allen Ginsberg, wherever you are. Two hundred years from now people are gonna be reading Allen Ginsberg. "Howl". Two hundred, maybe three hundred, maybe twenty. (after Blowin' In The Wind)
I just wanna say it does not, if, rock music, rock ‘n’ roll music reviewers here from The Kansas City Star, or The Kansas City Times, whatever. I just wanna ask them would they check with some people on the way out, what they thought, what they saw. Because I think that's only right now, I think that's only right because these people from the newspapers now, they get in free, you know. So they ..., it’s ..., there’s nothing wrong with getting in free anywhere but a lot of people don't get in free. So we're gonna talk about those people tonight. The people who gotta pay a price to get in. I know I’m one. I got to pay a heavy price. (before Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door)
All right now, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are, on the keyboards, Benmont Tench. He loves it, he wants you to know that. Mike Campbell on lead guitar. Stan Lynch on the drums. Peter Gabriel, is he sitting in tonight? Is he here tonight? Was he sitting in tonight, I’m not sure. Was he? All right, on the bass guitar, from Kansas City, Howie Epstein. Ha-ha. Everybody's got to be someplace. Anyway, standing over here, is the man who wrote Refugee, Tom Petty. Of course I can’t really go on without introducing my own Heartbreakers. I’m gonna introduce my own Heartbreakers to you. That's Madelyn Quebec and Louise Bethune. Carolyn Dennis and Queen Esther Marrow. (before Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat)
Make sure to state after (or during) which song the words are spoken.
