                             INTRODUCTION

         After spending some time recording material for DOWN IN THE GROOVE
  in the spring, Dylan reappeared together with The Grateful Dead for six
  summer shows in July. However the almost boyish image from last summer is
  now dramatically changed to the extreme opposite. Dylan is suddenly an old
  man, bearded, with an aching back, nearsighted, silent between songs and
  silent between shows. During the summer tour with The Grateful Dead and the
  Temples In Flames Tour in Europe in the fall he says not one single word in 
  36 concerts and he gives no interviews at all. Dylan 1987 - what happened?

  3.  MINI TOUR WITH THE GRATEFUL DEAD

  3.1 Introduction
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Sometime in the spring Dylan and The Grateful Dead apparently decided
  on a series of concerts during The Dead's summer tour. Rehearsals took
  place at Club Front in San Rafael, California and the known songs are
  indicated below in the song chart.

  This collaboration with The Grateful Dead obviously influenced Dylan
  in (at least) three different ways:

  (1)  The Dead encouraged him to search out his '60's and '70's catalog of
       songs. A number of live debuts was the result.

  (2)  From this tour onwards Dylan has played virtually random sets, obviously
       deciding the set list right before the show and often changing it 
       on stage.

  (3)  No more rapping on stage. Only recently has he started acknowledging
       the audience again, sometimes he even comments on the songs.

  3.2 The Musicians
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Backed by The Grateful Dead.

  3.3 The Show
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~
  A concert opened with approximately two hours with The Grateful Dead.
  Then 12 or 13 songs with Bob Dylan and the Dead. Finally one or two encores.

  4.  TEMPLES IN FLAMES

  4.1 Introduction 
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  The tour in Europe in the fall with Tom Petty & The Heartbreaker was
  very, very 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 some of the shows were really very good.


  4.2 The musicians
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers:
       Tom Petty (guitar, vocal),
       Mike Campbell (guitar),
       Benmont Tench (keyboards),

       Stan Lynch (drums),

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

  
  4.3 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 Heartbeakers for the final 3-4 songs.

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

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