The True Confessions Tour was a concert tour by Bob Dylan and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.[1][2][3]
A concert video, Hard to Handle, filmed in Sydney, Australia on February 24 and 25 was directed by Gillian Armstrong. The HBO Special was released on Virgin Music VHS in 1986[4] and CBS/Fox Video laserdisc in 1988.[5]
Background
The tour started with two concerts in New Zealand and thirteen concerts in Australia before four concerts in Japan.[1] 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,[6][7] three concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City[8][9][10] and two concerts at The Spectrum in Philadelphia.[11][12] The tour came to a close on August 6 in Paso Robles, California.[2] The pair would tour together the following year on the Temples in Flames Tour.[13]
