Bob Dylan with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Orchard Park NY July 4 1986
What it says on the tin.
Also in part an albeit belated tie in to the extended Halloween weekend, one could well argue. All performing are in fine fettle and their performances are robust. But then it was 37 years ago. Need I say more? I think not.

And, jeez, it starts with Positively 4th Street! That's not a song he's done live often.

I saw Dylan with the Dead at Autzen. Which was a pretty cool bucket list kind of thing, but from all accounts it wasn't a great show...
Never saw Petty. Sad about that

Saw this show a week earlier in Indy - among my top 5-10ish ever for certain, just an incredible electricity between everyone in the building, every body could feel something very special was happening and it just juiced every second of the performance.
And Bob, I mean c'mon', how does your head feel under something like that?

I saw him around that time with the Georgia Satellites, but not Dylan. My big sister and one of my brothers took me for my birthday. Maybe 1987?
That was a damn fun show.

Dylan's last truly great tour. Up there with the '74 tour with the Band (Rolling Thunder was a completely different thing).

Saw them on this tour when they were in Portland OR, good times. Caught Tom Petty a few more times over the years, always a good show.

I wish I'd seen Tom Petty live at some point (preferably not during his Jeff Lynne years, but those were good records, too, just not my favorites..)
Dylan, I'm told, even to this day can put on a good show when he decides to. Unfortunately the only time I tried the performance was so bad my friend and I walked out 20 minutes into his set. It was the first and only time I've ever just written off a show I had initially been excited to see. It was just depressing. It was also borderline unintelligible - in an auditorium famed for its acoustics the sound was so bad it was difficult to make out what song being played.

The recent Live at the Filmore’97 box set is tremendous and further evidence for TPatHB as Best American Rock Band Ever.

I was at this show. The Grateful Dead performed that day too. Some friends came up from NYC to see this. I borrowed my brother's car and drove us all out there.
It was a tough time in my life, but that was a good day.

I saw Dylan and the Grateful Dead on July 24, 1987 at the Oakland Coliseum [video]
It was ... terrible. (sorry). This concert sounds like it was much better. I'm guessing that's on Tom.

I was also there. Drove from Charlottesville with my sister and her friend - they were in high school and needed an "adult" to go with them so I selflessly offered to drive them if they bought me my ticket.

I saw Dylan, Petty, and the Dead in 1986 at the Akron Rubber Bowl. The way it was billed I thought there would be separate acts, but instead it was just a mix of musicians from the Heartbreakers and the Dead backing Dylan. At times there would be a handful on stage, at others it was basically everyone. It was a wonderful surprise.

Dylan+Petty in '86 was so much better than Dylan+GD in '87. Different worlds.
"Down in the Groove", the album that was released right after the Dead tour, has something in common with "Less Than Zero", the bratpack film based on Bret Easton Ellis's book that was also released then: the titles of these works are also their ratings.

(The Less than Zero soundtrack, however, is about half bangers, including this, this, and this.)
