BOBTALK (mostly stolen from bjorner.com)

before Clean Cut Kid
Thank you. All right.

before Masters Of War
Thank you. Domo, domo. Ha-ha, here's an old song I wrote many years ago. It's from my protest period. I'm still in that period. Anyway, I wrote this a while back. I could never write another one as good, so I still keep singing this one. It still seems to hold up, so I'm gonna sing it again tonight, it's called 'Masters Of War.'

after Masters Of War
Thank you, thank you! All right! I wanna introduce you right now to one of America's top Rock n' Roll bands. Certainly one of my favourites. One of the last great Rock n’ Roll bands, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

before I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know
Thank you. I broke a string on that last one, so I ..., did the best I can, all right? All right, here's an old song that they used to play on the radio a lot. When I... we were growing up. Songs like this you don't hear anymore. It’s about ..., I guess you can say this is about a guy who... thinks he knows, but he really doesn't. Somebody else knows more. But you know sometimes you can't tell people that. You got to let them find it out for themselves. So, it's a song about that sort of thing.

before Lenny Bruce
Here's a song I wrote a while back about a guy who died pretty miserably, actually. I figured if I didn't write this song, nobody would so... somebody had to write it. There's a great American playwright named Tennessee Williams. He said, "I'm not looking for your pity, I just want your understanding. No, not even that, but just your recognition of me and you and time, the enemy, in us all."(1) Anyway, he died pretty miserably too. So this is a man who got no recognition really during his lifetime. But he laid down a lot of road for a lot of people to walk on. People still walking on that road, making lots of money, living in fine houses. Have plenty of women and eating good food. And he didn't have none of them things.

before Ballad Of A Thin Man
Thank you. (Lonesome Town. We dedicate that of course to the late great Ricky Nelson.)(2)

after Ballad Of A Thin Man
Thank you. Domo, domo, domo. Ha ha, all right. Once again now, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

before Seeing The Real You At Last
Thank you. Everybody must get stoned. I thought that songs can be taken a couple of different ways... Here's one that can't be taken but more than one way. There's one way only.

before We Three (My Echo, My Shadow And Me)
I want to do this song here now for a very special person as a request. I don't usually do this one but I'm gonna try it anyway.

before I And I
Thank you. All right, I hope that was all right!

before Like A Rolling Stone
Thank you. I wanna thank Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers for backing me up tonight. I must say certainly the best band I've ever worked with. On the keyboards, Benmont Tench. On the drums, give him a hand, Stan Lynch. On the bass guitar, Howie Epstein. Lead guitar, Michael Campbell. I especially wanna thank Mr. Tom Petty himself. Thank you, Tom. And of course my singing partners over there on the other side of the screen. I can't go nowhere without them. Thank you, girls. I also wanna thank you all for coming. We had a real nice time in Japan. I wish it was my first night instead of the last night. But it's too bad, that's just the way it is. I hope we can come back here real soon, though. I know I would look forward to that. [Petty: "Have a hand for Bob Dylan"] Thank you. Oh, you’re too sweet.

before In The Garden
Thank you. We’ll play this last song and hit the road. Anyway, it's a song I wrote. I write songs about all kinds of things. This song here's about my hero. Everybody's got a hero. Where I come from heroes are... John Wayne, Boris Karloff, Henry Winkler, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon. Anyway, I don't care nothing about any of those people. I have my own hero.

before Sukiyaki (Ue o muite aruko)
Thank you. We'd like to play this song here. It meant something when we were growing up in the fifties, the late fifties. This song came up on the radio. I know it meant a lot to us at that time. Never did meet the man who wrote it, but I understand now it's too late to do that. Well, maybe sometime.

before the Knockin' on Heaven's Door coda:
Thank you, let's hear once again for Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers!

(1) the final words in Tennessee Williams' play Sweet Bird of Youth. (1959)
(2) cut on this tape. Reconstructed from an alternate recording of the show.
