The Bob Dylan/Tom Petty tour started on September 5th 1987 with two concerts in Israel as well as covering various European countries culminating in four concerts at Wembley Arena in London, England, where it ended on October 17th. Roger McGuinn was the opening act for this tour (who was also supported by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers). This was the last time that Dylan has toured with Tom Petty, and the last tour before the Never Ending Tour.
Dylan and Petty briefly united in Holmdel, New Jersey in the summer of 2003.
The tickets, handbills and posters of the tour can be seen here.
The programme has 32 pages, glossy paper, and two different front covers: one wearing EUROPEAN TOUR 1987, the other ALONE + TOGETHER (both hardly readable on the red stripe under "Heartbreakers"). They were printed in Canada, as noted on the back cover. Thank you to Peter Oudejans for information and scan.
