Concert

Tom and I want to play a song for you we used to hear growing up, on the radio. They don't play, . . . write these kind of songs anymore. So we thought  we'd just do it as a special thing for you all tonight. (before I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know)

Well, thank you. Ricky Nelson, he did a lot of my songs and I'm gonna do one of his. It's called Lonesome Town.

Thank you. You're so kind. Once again now, one more time Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. (after Ballad Of A Thin Man)

OK now I wanna thank Tom Petty Band, the Heartbreakers for you backing me up tonight. <mm>. All right, On the keyboards is a guy by the name of Benmont Tench. On the lead guitar, Michael Campbell, give him a big hand. And I want you to give Mike Campbell a big hand too. On the drums, Stan Lynch. On the bass guitar tonight, Howie Epstein. I especially wanna thank Mr. Tom Petty himself. A real gentleman, give him a big hand. Tom's gonna be around a while. He may be around a lot longer than some of you think. (before Like A Rolling Stone)

Right. That was Like A Rolling Stone. That was written by me before most of you were born. I hope so anyway. Anyway this one was written more closer to this time now, the 80's.

This is a song I used to sing when I was growing up. Long before I ever seen this place. Anyway it's a very simple song and a simple sing-along. I used to sing this song when I was I guess I’d say twelve years old. (before Let The Good Times Roll)

All right, here’s a song … I wrote this song a couple of years after going <inaudible> Nice to see that it’s still < inaudible > (before Masters Of War)

All right. Here now, I know a lot of people come to see this band right here I wanna introduce them now. A group that needs no introduction. I'm gonna introduce them anyway. Give them a big hand, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. (after Masters of War)

All right, thank you. Everybody must get stoned, ha-ha. That's a song that can be taken a couple of ways. Anyway, before I go any further I wanna say hello to my old friend Martin Kings. <inaudible>, and my mother. I don't know if she's still here, but < inaudible >. Martin <inaudible> I don't know. Anyway here’s a song that can’t be taken but one way. (before Seeing The Real You At Last)
