Determined To Stand

6 Temples In Flames – Tour of Europe

6.1 Introduction

The tour in Europe in the fall with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers utterly different from their previous tour in the US, True Confessions. Dylan again was the elderly bard. Stage lights were so turned down you could hardly see him. His singing was at times extremely erratic, both in terms of phrasing and lyrics. The sets were apparently completely random, as can be seen from the song charts below. The Dylan part of the show was also very short. All this: short set, dark stage and Dylan not saying a word, compared of course very unfavorably to the previous shows in Europe in the summer of '84 and a lot of people went home utterly disappointed. It must be said though that The Heartbreakers provided excellent backing throughout the tour and that most of the shows were very, very good.

6.2 The musicians

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers:

Tom Petty (guitar, vocal)

Mike Campbell (guitar)

Benmont Tench (keyboards)

Howie Epstein (bass)

Stan Lynch (drums).

and The Queens Of Rhythm: Queen Esther Marrow, Madelyn Quebec, Carolyn Dennis.

6.3 The show

The tour was done in collaboration with Roger McGuinn who opened each concert with a solo set consisting of 5 or 6 songs. He was then joined by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers for the final 3-4 songs.

After Roger McGuinn's set, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers performed their set of 7-8 songs. After an intermission, the lights went down, the sound got worse and Bob Dylan came on for his set which consisted of about 14 songs.

Starting with the show in Gothenburg, Sweden, 25 September, Dylan performed one, later two, acoustic songs, backed by Benmont Tench on piano and Mike Campbell on guitar.
