1 INTRODUCTION

Another year of extreme activity. A new tour in two parts, a new record, and on top of it,

leading role in a film. For the return to the concert scene, Dylan chose to appear as the

rejuvenated legend, rather punkish, in sleeveless shirts and leather vests, lots of amulets and

one eardrop. The tour was a result of his collaboration with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers at

the Farm Aid benefit in September 1985. It was a tour that featured many of the new songs

from Empire Burlesque as well as songs from his entire career and then also a lot of rock 'n'

roll covers. True confessions?

Guests

Mark Knopfler played guitar during the encores in Sydney, 10 February.

Stevie Nicks played guitar & sang on Knockin' In Heaven's Door the next day.

Songs

A unusual large number of covers were played during this tour, many of them so obscure that they are

to this day not identified. On this first leg we got: Baby, Got To Go, Riding On The Train, Shake and

We Three (My Echo, My Shadow And Me).

There were two one-offs from Empire Burlesque: Dark Eyes and Never Gonna Be The Same Again.

Dark Eyes is really just a fragment since Dylan does seem to remember neither lyrics nor melody.

The following songs were heard only once in 1986: Heart Of Mine, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues,

License To Kill and Don't Think Twice, It's All Right was played solo only once during this leg and

twice in the US.

Recommended shows

Sydney 11 & 12 February and Nagoya, 8 March.
