I went to this show when I was 16. No ticket and $20 in my pocket. I was broke before I even got to the show. I was able to score a free ticket ( fake, but it got me into the stadium). Anyone who camped out there will remember the enormous bonfire. Great time!
Bob was SO inspired by Tom. Always so terrific, and inspiring, to watch them together, see Bob gettin off that way. When Tom put together his band for Bob, that made Dylan TRULY able to rock; not just with session musicians behind him, but a real band that was into being a BAND, a great one that they'd formed on their own. (You all know what I mean: how could you not, watching this?). And they were into him and treated his songs like their own great rockin songs; made them their own, too. This rocks live as well as his 3 seminal rockin albums do (Bringing It All, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde On Blonde). And it takes a lot for me to say that, I love those albums so much. God bless em both for their musical gifts to the world.
Bob Dylan with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It doesn't get much better. Petty was a huge fan. Loved him the very first time hearing them in late 70s. And Dylan, been a fan since I was 7 years old. I miss Tom Petty alot. I saw Mike Campbell and his band open for The Who last November. He was great. Who's ever responsible for this. Thank you, very grateful
I saw 6 shows on this tour. Dylan's sense of humor. Classic. Every night during band intro he would say Howie Epstein, the bass player was "from Kansas City", "from Portland", to get a big hand. Fuc.... hilarious. Bobby.
