Lawlor Events Center
Concert

Thank you. That was Masters Of War we were playing. Right now I wanna introduce you to a band that needs no introduction. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Right here's an old song that we'd like to do. We'd like to do? I'd like to do. I dunno. Where's Tom, is he coming? Oh right. Right, we got an old song for you. This kind of song we used to hear on the radio all the time when we were growing up. Just a few years ago. (before I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know)

Thank you. Ricky Nelson did a lot of my songs, so I do one of his, Lonesome Town. (plays Lonesome Town) Thank you Ricky Nelson, wherever you are.

I wanna thank Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for backing me up tonight. I can never remember being backed up like that again. Anyway, on the keyboards, Benmont Tench. On the lead guitar, Michael Campbell. Playing drums tonight, Stan Lynch. On the bass guitar, Howie Epstein. And I especially wanna thank Mr. Tom Petty himself. Right, I want you to give a warm hand to The Queens of Rhythm. (before Like A Rolling Stone)

All right, everybody must get stoned. That can be taken a couple of ways But, here's a song that can’t be taken but one way. (before Seeing The Real You At Last)
