Concert

OK now, throughout the years Ricky Nelson he did a lot of my songs and I admired him a whole lot. I'm gonna do one of his songs, it’s called Lonesome Town.

Where do you wanna be? You wanna be there? You just be right there. We'll be right there. I wish she could be right there. No, she could be right there. That's where she's gonna be. OK, now we wanna introduce Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. On the keyboards, Benmont Tench. Or should I say Benmont Tench on the keyboards. He-he. All right, playing lead guitar, Mike Campbell. On the bass guitar, Howie Epstein. One of the finest drummers in all of the United States, Stan Lynch. I especially wanna thank Mr. Tom Petty himself. A real gentleman, he should be around a long while. All right, now I also have my own Heartbreakers, yeah. You all can come down too if you want. That's Louise Bethune and Carolyn Dennis. Madelyn Quebec and Queen Esther Marrow. All right. (before Like A Rolling Stone)

All right, Tom and I are gonna sing an old song for you now. The kind they don't write anymore. You know they don't write these kind of songs no more. Get a petition to somebody. Anybody out there running for office? Oh yeah. We got somebody out there running for office. Good luck! (before I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know)

All right, thank you. Thank you very much. OK. I wanna do this last song for you. I wanna dedicate this song to all the people in prison for doing good things. Lot's of people are in prison for doing bad things. Robbing from the poor, stealing from the sick and murdering the lame. It's a lot of people in prison for those things. But there’s also people are in prison for doing good things like feeding the hungry and taking care of the sick. (before In The Garden)
