Bobtalk

July 11, 1986
Hartford, Connecticut
Hartford Civic Center
Concert

OK, all right. I'm not, I'm not playing Mr. Tambourine Man, no. So sorry. (before It Ain't Me, Babe)

OK now, it's time for the theme song. This is a song of course, they don't write these kind of songs anymore, so we're gonna be very privileged to even sing one you know. Anyway, this is about someone who thinks they know it all. (before I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know)

Yeah, you all stand up. Stand up come on you don't have to sit down for nobody. Well, I know, almost nobody. (before When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky)

All right, thank you. I wanna say hello to all those people up here on the right. OK, that's a song of old. You And Me, We Had It All. That's for anybody out there who's ever had their heart broken at least once.

All right. Ricky Nelson, he did a lot of my songs. I'm gonna do one of his. This is called Lonesome Town. (plays Lonesome Town) Thank you. Thank you, Ricky.

All right now. I’m gonna tell you all the Heartbreakers’ names. On the keyboards, Benmont Tench. On the guitar, Michael Campbell. On the drums, Stan Lynch. On the bass guitar, Howie Epstein. I especially gotta thank Mr. Tom Petty himself. A real gentleman. Should be around a long time. You get out of here now. Then of course I have my own Heartbreakers. That's Louise Bethune, Madelyn Quebec, Queen Esther Marrow and Carolyn Dennis. (before Like A Rolling Stone)

All right now, one more time we wanna say hello to those people right up here. (after Blowin' In The Wind)

All right now. I don't usually do that song but I did it tonight for a special request. Can't remember who it's for! (after Lay Lady Lay)
