True Confessions Tour

The True Confessions Tour was a concert tour by Bob Dylan and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

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 and CBS/Fox Video laserdisc in 1988.

Background
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.
