Bobtalk

Bob Dylan's spoken words at concerts.

July 4, 1986
Buffalo, New York
Rich Stadium
Concert

OK before we go any further I wanna thank the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for backing me up tonight. I say it's a rare privilege to play with a band like this. Anybody could sound good, even you. You'd sound great with a band like this. Anyway, on the keyboards Benmont Tench. Come on now. Now, Benmont's a keyboard player, and he's a great songwriter too in his own right. Anyway, on the electric guitar, Michael Campbell. Ha-ha come on, you have to do better than that. On the drums, Stan Lynch. Anyway on the bass from Buffalo, New York, Howie Epstein. I especially wanna thank Mr. Tom Petty himself, and of course I have my own Heartbreakers. I always did. Standing over here, that's Louise Bethune, Carolyn Dennis, Madelyn Quebec and Queen Esther Marrow. (before Like A Rolling Stone)

All right. Tom and I are gonna sing an old song for you. They don't write these kind of songs anymore. It's about someone who thinks they know it all. (before I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know)

All right. Ricky Nelson, he did a lot of my songs. I'm gonna do one of his now, called Lonesome Town.

Alright, thank you, thank you Ricky! (after "Lonesome Town").
