BobTalk

This is Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, one of America’s last great rock ‘n’ roll bands. (after Masters Of War)

Thank you. Here’s one I wrote about twenty years ago. About (inaudible). (before It Ain’t Me, Babe)

Thank you. People say that (inaudible) my favorite song too. (inaudible) It was just (inaudible) it’s that time, that’s all. Anyway, we’re gonna close (inaudible) tonight now. Oh yes, we are. Everybody (inaudible) their heroes, you know. Lots of people…their hero may probably be Ronald Reagan. I’m sure you’ve heard of him. And some other people they have heroes. (inaudible) Shut up now! Shut up! Ronald Reagan, he’s a hero. You know, lots of the heroes even have a hero. Al Pacino is a hero. Oh yes. That’s right, Richard Price is a hero for those people. Even Mohammed Ali was a hero for them. That’s right. And of course, Bruce Springsteen became a hero. But none of those people are heroes to me. I’ve got my own hero. I wanna sing you a song about it now. (before In The Garden)

Thank you. You’re a kind audience. One of the greatest guitar players in the world actually is (…..) was fast asleep. We go back a few years, he’s been on several of my records. He helped me produce one. You all know him, because you’ve heard of the Dire Straits. Here he is now, Mr. Mark Knopfler. (after Blowin’ In The Wind)

BobTalk

Thank you. The name of that song of course was Trust Yourself. If you hadn’t guessed.

All right, thank you all. I wanna introduce to you right now, one of America’s last great rock ‘n’ roll bands, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. (after Masters Of War)

We played that already, you missed it, you got here late. [in response to shouts from the audience] We got a song that we wanna play for you, ‘cause it’s kind of like the music we were raised on. We have no idea where all this music nowadays comes from. Of course the song It’s Alright, Ma, that one came out of Nashville, anyway (…..). Tom Petty (…..). (sings I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know) We had to do that song ‘cause we both sing about the same person. [in response to shouts from the audience] Told you man, you missed it.

All right, thank you. That was called House Of The Risin’ Sun. You’ll find it in New Orleans if you ever take a trip down there.

How are you all doing out there? (…..). You know we can't play it all. We just have to pick out certain ones, you know. Got any individuals in the crowd tonight? Anybody out there who thinks for themselves? Well, don't let anybody take that away now. Always (…..) thing, isn't it? (…..) they don’t understand. Ain't that the truth? Anybody out there that's misunderstood in any kind of way? Hmm, you’re a lucky bunch of people. Me, I'm misunderstood all the time. Just about everything I do is misunderstood. It gets hard you know. Sometimes even your best friends don't understand. Has that ever happened to anybody out there? Hmm, maybe once in a while, right? Well, let me tell you it's OK to be misunderstood. All anybody can do is kill you, right? All you can do is die, ain't that right? That's not such a bad thing. There's a lot of things worse than death. Is that right or not? Hmm, I don't know, maybe it's not. I guess if nobody agrees with me, maybe it's not right. I'd hate to fall out of agreement with anybody. I guess this world is run on people who are always in agreement with everybody, ain't that right? People just do what they wanna do anyway. Anyway, this is a song about somebody who's (sort of) misunderstood some of the time. For all those people out there I wanna sing this song. (before Ballad Of A Thin Man)

OK. All right. Uncle Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers are gonna play a few more songs for you. (after Ballad Of A Thin Man)

It's about that time of the evening again when we have to bid each other adieu. But before I get out of here I gotta sing you all this one song. This is a song about my hero. Everybody got heroes, right? For lots of people Mohammed Ali's a hero, right? Yeah. And Albert Einstein, he sure was a hero. I guess you could say even Clark Gable was a hero. Michael Jackson, he's a hero, right? Bruce Springsteen. I care nothing about them people though. None of those people are my heroes, they don't mean nothing to me. I'm sorry but that's the truth. I wanna sing a song about my hero. (before In The Garden)

Anybody out there…anybody out there know how to tune a guitar? I don't. I forgot how to tune a guitar a long time ago. (…..) tune this guitar? Low string. Well, that's good enough for folk music, right. This is a song I wanna play for you now called Money Money Money It's So Hard To Get, Money Money Money It's Faster Spent, Roll 'Em Over Baby And Rock 'Em Dead.

6 new songs (24%) compared to previous concert. 6 new songs for this tour.
