THE TOUR
The "True Confessions Tour" was a concert tour that featured the iconic American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan joining forces with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The tour took place in 1986 and is notable for its collaboration between two legendary figures in rock and folk music.
The tour started with two concerts in New Zealand and thirteen concerts in Australia before four concerts in Japan. Both Dylan and Petty took a break after this tour before returning to the road in June to perform a forty-one date tour of the United States and Canada. During the tour the pair performed two concerts at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC, three concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City and two concerts at The Spectrum in Philadelphia. The tour came to a close on August 6 in Paso Robles, California. The pair would tour together the following year on the "Temples in Flames Tour".
The tour received rave reviews and even now, 38 years later, concert-goers still refer to the "True Confessions Tour" as one of the most remarkable gigs they’ve ever been to. The combination of Dylan's poetic songwriting and Petty's rock and roll sensibilities made for a memorable live experience.
COLLECTABILITY
Tour programs are highly collectable and sought after for several reasons. Firstly, they provide a tangible memento of a specific concert or event, allowing fans to relive the experience and cherish the memories associated with it. Tour programs often feature exclusive content like behind-the-scenes photos, interviews, and detailed information about the artists and their performances. Additionally, they serve as a snapshot of a particular era in an artist's career, making them valuable to both music enthusiasts and historians. Whether you're a dedicated fan or a passionate collector, owning these programs offers a tangible connection to the music world and serves as a treasured piece of memorabilia.
Programs can also be framed together with other items we have on our website such as vinyl records, official stage guitar picks, autographs, backstage passes, concert tickets, drumsticks and photos and you can create a truly one-of-a-kind unique piece of memorabilia.
