  • Description

    In February 1986, two of rock's most iconic forces collided on stage in a tour that would become the stuff of legend. Homespun brings you the live broadcast from the Sydney Entertainment Centre, documenting the electric chemistry between Bob Dylan and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers at the peak of their creative powers during the historic True Confessions tour.

    From the opening bars, the synergy is undeniable. Dylan, revitalized by the raw power of Petty's backing band, delivers searing renditions of classics like "Positively 4th Street," "Like a Rolling Stone," and "Blowin' In The Wind." His voice is gritty, passionate, and deeply present--revealing new layers in familiar lines. Petty and the Heartbreakers provide muscular, intuitive accompaniment, driving the songs forward with urgency and finesse. Their own spotlight moments - "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star," "Spike," and more - are delivered with swagger and soul, earning roars from an adoring crowd. The show closes with a rousing "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," a shared anthem that unites stage and audience in a cathartic finale.

    This recording captures not just a concert, but a rare moment in musical history - when Dylan's enigmatic artistry met Petty's rock 'n' roll fire in a whirlwind of sound, spirit, and showmanship. This is not just a document of a performance - it's an experience, a revelation, and a must-hear for any fan of either legend. Turn it up. You'll feel like you were there.
