"Enjoy Every Sandwich"... When I first heard him say that it brought tears to my eyes and that simple philosophy changed my life forever. I'm in my 50's and have health problems of my own. Warren Zevon's simple, matter of fact handling of his own demise gave me strength. What a wonderful talent and a wonderful man. He IS already missed by those he touched...
I got to see him 2 years before he was diagnosed. I remember being impressed that you could actually hear the lyrics.He was very engaged with the audience taking requests and answering questions. During one of the breaks and after the show you could see him walking around the club. You could literally walk right up to him --very approachable. At the time I remember leaving the show very happy and impressed, thinking to myself that was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
"it was a tactical error on my part for not seeing a doctor for 20 years"... lol. To know that your time is short and still be able crack jokes, its awesome. It makes you appreciate things a lot more. RIP Warren Zevon... I'd like to meet his taylor.
In my humble opinion, it would be deep if they were pointing one another to Christ rather than the worship of creation. I’m not condemning anyone, rather am only observing something that’s clearly missing and deeply important. This is a cautionary tale and one that’s worth heeding, I think. God bless.
"This guy's the real deal.... he's not one of these pretty faced, phony rock and roll guys, he's the real deal..... a poet and a singer and a song writer..... it doesn't get any better" Well said, David Letterman.
If you haven't heard it yet, listen to Zevon's cover of "knocking on heavens door", written and performed so bravely when he knew that his time was coming to an end, and may I say it is the greatest cover of the song there is. Zevon is the most underappreciated artist, and the greatest in my opinion.
No he's to good for that shitty place real rock and rollers aren't in it like blue oyster cult and hell even rush until they ran out of new people and started going through old ones
Warren Zevon rocks!!!!!!!!!! Great singer/songwriter/musician. I love his album The Wind that he made while he was dying. I can tell Warren was scared facing death but I'm glad he got to do the last things in his life he wanted to do. He's at peace right now. RIP Warren, we miss you man!! One of Letterman's best shows ever!!!
I wish I was a bigger fan of Warren Zevon while he was living. He was a true genious & treasure. I have all of his releases & love these videos. he was a very special man. Rest In Peace Buddy....We Miss You.
I love David. He interviews well. I would love him just for the music he puts on time and time again. This had to be so tough. What a great show. I miss Warren Zevon constantly. I thought it would get a bit better by now. God bless and thank you for all the good times you spread around. You are loved, Mr. Zevon.
I heard "keep me in your heart..." for the first time in a looog time and decided to find out more about warren.Haven't regreted that for a split second! There are only a few handful of people that can captivate you to such a degree as Zevon. It is a shame that he is gone but soon he will be seen in a truck driving trough new mexico alongside jim morrison and elvis : ) So much talent and such great songs should be mandatory to know!
It’s obvious to tell ,, just by the way Dave greeted Warren and how they shook hands that they were great admirers of each other and good friends .. Dave was one of warren’s biggest fans ..
7:51 "You're reminded to enjoy every sandwich." Damn that hit hard. I lost my pops within 3 months of his diagnosis of lung cancer. Cherish every moment with the ones you love.
Thanks for these videos. This really holds a special place in late night history. Letterman in his prime letting Warren Zevon say his musical farewells to the world.
I will never fully comprehend Warren's brilliance. I have never cried when someone died that I never met. I did the day Mr. Zevon died. I'm not going to be able to face death as Warren did because I am not a brave man. I can only hope it sneaks up on me. Only listen to his songs with the lyrics posted ... do this long enough and the reality of his brilliance will be startling. A genius and a under appreciated work of art this man is. All men are NOT created equal, Warren is proof of this. I am an atheist but I hope to god if I am wrong and "they" are correct. I will be able in the AFTER-LIFE to thank Warren for what he has done for me in life. He is an inspiration for me and his talent as a song writer has helped me in my life in ways I could never express in print. Sorry to bother you, I'm feeling down today and just wanted to comment on the topic of Warren Zevon. A man that some, if not most, will never appreciate. I am so happy not to be one of the many who are ignorant in terms regarding to the true, almost unbelievable talent of an under appreciated song writer. A credit to his gender to say the least. Peace-out.
BrunoG-"Daves the best friend my music ever had"-Warren was supported and admired by Letterman for years. Lettermans choice to book the full hour was a tribute to the man and in fact an act of total class. It was the last time in the spotlight for a great artist. Warren wasn't exactly making the late night circuit. This was a great night, I remember watching this. Thanks for posting it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! As a somewhat confused and searching musician and music-lover, I first heard and was moved by Zevon around 2002 when I was still in college and the Rockline broadcast came on as Warren was recording The Wind. I didn't ever see this when it aired and have been looking for it on RUclips for years, literally. I'd seen parts of it and the VH1 special, but never the whole thing. Bittersweet, but I needed to see this...thanks again.
My wife Lili and I were privileged to see this man live in Milwaukee back in 2000. We got there early, and were leaning against the stage, dead-center. It ranks in my top-five concerts of all time.
sometimes, when you're doing simple things around the house, maybe you'll think of me and smile.......one of the best lines ever written, so simple, so beautiful.
Thanks for posting these... this night was one of the FEW, if not only, events in my life that a TV touched me deeply. I have always wanted to see it again... as a big fan of both Dave and Warren, it was amazing to see this tribite to both his life and his impending death.
Long live Warren Zevon. This was a very emotional episode that had me laughing and tearing up simultaneously. Dave was such a fan of Warren's music as is I, and I felt a real connection with both of them that night.
I had the privilege of seeing him at least 5 times, at a little club called The Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY. And 1 time at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park., N.J. I also watched this when it originally aired. It made me cry, and I still miss him. RIP Warren
I've only recently discovered Warren Zebon through the work of another late great Dr.Hunter S Thompson,and man,he could really deliver a fine song! RIP Warren & RIP Hunter.The world is less fun & interesting without you both.
What balls the man had. Someone on one of these postings was bitching about hero worship of earthly things, but they miss the point. Not trying to be flip. This is just so awesome. Warren, tell John Lennon and Johnny Cash hello, and thanks for everything from those of us still keeping on. You were one of the greats.
In spite of Warren being snubbed from an institution that should have accepted him so many years ago, I will continue to enjoy every sandwich and then sleep when I'm dead. Although Warren died in L.A., he was born in Chicago; this is where I will continue my bad luck streak in dancing school...accidentally like a martyr.
Hi Jerome...I gave a damn...been posting too. Love his song "Keep Me In Your Heart". Lost the love of my life last Nov. 7 and this song gives a lot of comfort. Thanks Warren, miss ya man! Nancy
AMAZING interview. I mean I'm a huge fan of both of these men and Dave is one of the best talk show hosts out there. And while he goes along during the interview without breaking you can tell there are moments that he's having a very hard time doing his job. I think just the sombre tone (especially for a Letterman interview) and the way Dave seems to relish every word Zevon says shows there is a very deeply rooted compassion between these two men. Which makes for the best of interviews.
Zevon shows grace here, but it's important to remember that Zevon's alcoholism relapsed in his final days. His story reads like a piece of poetry, and his end was as imperfect as the rest of his life.
Crispin almost kicked him in the head... you'd be rude too. Dave always took care of people he respected, he just didn't respect most of the entitled celebrities.
I’m here because I’m reading a book by Lee Lipsebthal . The book is called “enjoy every sandwich”. If you like the meaning behind what this man is talking about, you’ll like the book. Highly recommended!
Letterman along with so many other great mucicians(Springsteen, j. Brown D. Henley, ) and countless others tried to mske us see what a treasure his music was. i never really got it until he died. love you Warren
How many people, especially a celebrity, would joke about having terminal lung cancer. He was one of a kind and it really sucks we had to lose him. Rock On Warren!
"You better get your dry cleaning done on special". My god, imagine near death and having that attitude. I just love this interview. Warren Zevon is just different.
Everyone dies. It is inevitable, but unfortunate. Zevon handles it with such warm acceptance, and I wish I could have as much grace about it when it's my time
When I get my 67 VW bus painted, I'm going to put "enjoy every sandwich" on it. I have lived Warren Zevon for many years. He was so very talented and creative.
The ONLY time Lettermen EVER dedicated an entire complete shopw to one artist. it was also one of warren's last public appearances before he passed away from lung cancer at a very you age of 50-something, I believe.
This makes me laugh and cry at the same time. There's an earlier clip where he does Splendid Isolation (also on Letterman). Warren's last album came out about the same time my late wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. I played "Keep Me in Your Heart" at the end of her funeral service. I love you Warren. I hope you're up there making her smile you you did down here.
Anyone who might be in his position should watch this video. A great perspective and humor. It appears he did what he wanted and doesn't have any noticeable regrets. I cheer him! Warren, maybe when it is my time, you can sing me some Werewolves of London, I hope your hair is perfect.
10 yrs ago today.. Respect for Mr Z. It's stronger than dancing w/ Mr D. Shared a lot of his music on fb for the last few days, guess what? nobody gave a damn. Just like he sang "We contemplate eternity/ Beneath the vast indifference of heaven" (no copyright infringement, this is just a quotation. Please don't sue.)
Warren Zevon's second studio album was released in 1976, and he should have been inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame in Cleveland by March of 2002 when he was still alive (several months before the cancer was initially diagnosed). It is now May of 2015, and Warren has still not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
After years of working in Asbestos my dad was diagnosed w/ Meso on July 7, 1993 and passed away August 7th, 1993, You're right, it is an evil way to die.
I can't believe that somebody on this forum chided Letterman for not demanding that the HOF induct Zevon into the institution!??? Did the individual hear the compliment that Zevon gave Dave in the video. I am sure Warren appreciated Dave far more for his support in his career and friendship than any stupid nomination to a institution!!!
very hard to enjoy these clips while crying. i want him back so badly. that house used him for that final episode absolutely destroyed me. if i could have only a few wishes one would be for warren to come back.
This is very sad to watch. My step dad was dying of lung cancer around the same time. He never asked "how long do I have"? He passed from a heart attack they felt brought on by ALL the meds.
My Surgeon has operated on people with Meso who had no known connection to asbestos Although asbestos is the cause of Meso, Many surgeons think smoking contributes, and is the catalyst in many cases. You can also loose a lung from meso, and if your other one is crap from smokes, you will be screwed. Go in, get your ribs spread, have them cut the lining and bottom of your lung, then be brought out of anesthesia without opiates (because they repress breathing), then lets talk.
This Warren Zevon guy was a cowboy! Such a unique voice and style. But he was tough. His songs came across as no-nonsense. Motherfucker makes you feel strength. He was strong. Now he's dead...but...you know the rest...
I was/am a Linda Ronstandt fan in the sixties and seventies. In an interview she noted her "idols" to be Lowell George and Warren Zevon. I was ignorant. I learned and admired. I miss them.
"Enjoy Every Sandwich"... When I first heard him say that it brought tears to my eyes and that simple philosophy changed my life forever. I'm in my 50's and have health problems of my own. Warren Zevon's simple, matter of fact handling of his own demise gave me strength. What a wonderful talent and a wonderful man. He IS already missed by those he touched...
Me too. Exactly the SAME experiences my friend.
I think about “enjoy every sandwich” regularly.
I got to see him 2 years before he was diagnosed. I remember being impressed that you could actually hear the lyrics.He was very engaged with the audience taking requests and answering questions. During one of the breaks and after the show you could see him walking around the club. You could literally walk right up to him --very approachable. At the time I remember leaving the show very happy and impressed, thinking to myself that was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Hello 13 years later, profile picture twin.
@@frankieboy8414douche
And hid hair was perfect...
When you watch this in its entirety what you are witnessing is two men saying "I love you" and "goodbye"... Very deep
In my humble opinion, it would be deep if they were pointing one another to Christ rather than the worship of creation. I’m not condemning anyone, rather am only observing something that’s clearly missing and deeply important. This is a cautionary tale and one that’s worth heeding, I think. God bless.
Indeed, buddy. Too touching😢
"This guy's the real deal.... he's not one of these pretty faced, phony rock and roll guys, he's the real deal..... a poet and a singer and a song writer..... it doesn't get any better"
Well said, David Letterman.
Sure do miss his music
If you haven't heard it yet, listen to Zevon's cover of "knocking on heavens door", written and performed so bravely when he knew that his time was coming to an end, and may I say it is the greatest cover of the song there is. Zevon is the most underappreciated artist, and the greatest in my opinion.
Put Warren Zevon in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame !
+Dickie Boner It means nothing. It's all polltics and bull shit.
No he's to good for that shitty place real rock and rollers aren't in it like blue oyster cult and hell even rush until they ran out of new people and started going through old ones
Warren Zevon rocks!!!!!!!!!! Great singer/songwriter/musician. I love his album The Wind that he made while he was dying.

It is a true Injustice that this amazing song writer and musician is not in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.a pity.

He faced it with humor. People were uncomfortable laughing but he put them at ease.
Thank you for posting this. Super amazing awesome music. I appreciate having this available to me. Muah!!
It’s obvious to tell ,, just by the way Dave greeted Warren and how they shook hands that they were great admirers of each other and good friends .. Dave was one of warren’s biggest fans ..

This is a perfect example of the greatness of Letterman.
He loved Warren.
WOW,very cool singer,and song writer,I got to get hip to this guy's work.

Thanks for posting this. I was a Warren Zevon fan starting with his eponymous 1976 album but missed this.

I never thoought i'd see this again.
Warren, like FZ,was one of my heroes.
Merry Christmas!

RIP Warren
Zevon was the Sam Peckinpaw of rock music. An American original. Brutal and honest.
what a beautiful human being. Very few of these people walking the earth.
Sadly, at that time, I didn't realize Dave was the best friend Warren's music ever had. Thank you for posting this.
I've only recently discovered Warren Zebon through the work of another late great Dr.Hunter S Thompson,and man,he could really deliver a fine song! RIP Warren & RIP Hunter.The world is less fun & interesting without you both.

Warren, one of a kind. We miss you. And to have that great sense of humour up to the end is amazing. Enjoy every sandwich!
warren zevon is missed greatly, thanks moon for putting this up! His music will go on.
I recently learned about warren zevon. Thank you for posting
In spite of Warren being snubbed from an institution that should have accepted him so many years ago, I will continue to enjoy every sandwich and then sleep when I'm dead. Although Warren died in L.A., he was born in Chicago; this is where I will continue my bad luck streak in dancing school...accidentally like a martyr.
So strange to watch live. Great music, great show and yet everyone knew it was the last time and why. I'll never forget watching it.
This is why Letterman is the best. He cares about his guests like no other host.
Hi Jerome...I gave a damn...been posting too. Love his song "Keep Me In Your Heart". Lost the love of my life last Nov. 7 and this song gives a lot of comfort. Thanks Warren, miss ya man! Nancy
just finished a cover of Carmelita, only just discovering his music now, great fun.
AMAZING interview. I mean I'm a huge fan of both of these men and Dave is one of the best talk show hosts out there. And while he goes along during the interview without breaking you can tell there are moments that he's having a very hard time doing his job. I think just the sombre tone (especially for a Letterman interview) and the way Dave seems to relish every word Zevon says shows there is a very deeply rooted compassion between these two men. Which makes for the best of interviews.
Thanks for uploading. We lost a real musical genius in him.
Holy smokes. Sad but bittersweet trpalm03. Thanks so much for sharing.
Zevon shows grace here, but it's important to remember that Zevon's alcoholism relapsed in his final days. His story reads like a piece of poetry, and his end was as imperfect as the rest of his life.
How sad. Love this guys quirky soulful songs.
This is one of the few times that Dave has kinda been hesitant about questions and taken a backseat and was not rude.
I have almost never seen him be rude. Maybe on the Crispin Hellein Glover interview, but that's all I can think of.
Crispin almost kicked him in the head... you'd be rude too. Dave always took care of people he respected, he just didn't respect most of the entitled celebrities.
What an awesome, far out, funny, groovy, cat. What an inspiration for all of us. I love the man.
you and me both.
Thx for the commercial eliminations. Great show!
I’m here because I’m reading a book by Lee Lipsebthal . The book is called “enjoy every sandwich”. If you like the meaning behind what this man is talking about, you’ll like the book. Highly recommended!

How many people, especially a celebrity, would joke about having terminal lung cancer.
He was one of a kind and it really sucks we had to lose him. Rock On Warren!
The best episode of any Late Night Show Ever....
thisis heartbreaking...RIP Warren, I've loved you since I am 15 I'm 46 now.
"You better get your dry cleaning done on special". My god, imagine near death and having that attitude. I just love this interview. Warren Zevon is just different.

I have lived Warren Zevon for many years. He was so very talented and creative.
R.I.P. Warren. This appearance touched me so much..and his music..well, I say thank God For Warren Zevon. And Dave too.
That takes so much courage my God what a cool person, RIP God bless Warren Zevon, ,,, from the heart
The ONLY time Lettermen EVER dedicated an entire complete shopw to one artist. it was also one of warren's last public appearances before he passed away from lung cancer at a very you age of 50-something, I believe.
Put Warren Zevon in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!
I would be so overcome with emotion if I was in either of their shoes. Zevon is one hell of a guy.
"Enjoy every sandwich."
Truer words have never been spoken.
This makes me laugh and cry at the same time. There's an earlier clip where he does Splendid Isolation (also on Letterman).
Warren's last album came out about the same time my late wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. I played "Keep Me in Your Heart" at the end of her funeral service.
I love you Warren. I hope you're up there making her smile you you did down here.
He sat up straight and took it with class... just like he said he would.
yes, fearless... and humorful... moves me every time I watch it.
Anyone who might be in his position should watch this video. A great perspective and humor. It appears he did what he wanted and doesn't have any noticeable regrets. I cheer him! Warren, maybe when it is my time, you can sing me some Werewolves of London, I hope your hair is perfect.
10 yrs ago today.. Respect for Mr Z. It's stronger than dancing w/ Mr D. Shared a lot of his music on fb for the last few days, guess what? nobody gave a damn.
Just like he sang
"We contemplate eternity/ Beneath the vast indifference of heaven"
(no copyright infringement, this is just a quotation. Please don't sue.)
If I leave you it doesn’t mean I love you any less, keep me in your heart for a while. 🙏🏼
I wish I had known him personally. I am grateful for his music legacy.
If I ever find out I'm gonna die, I hope to keep a sense of humor like him. What an ultimately cool dude.

Agreed
None of that shit means dick anymore...but youre right he should have
ENJOY EVERY SANDWICH
I teared up at about 6:30. WZ was one of the best. Bad personal life, but a true genius.
RIP to the most talented musician ever
just bought his excitable boy album and it was completely amazing!
2013 is the tenth anniversary of his passing. Warren would have been 66 today and it is sad to not know the music he would have done since 2003.
Dave was the last glimpse of decency on late nite..Now they make me want to puke...
Colbert's heart is in the right place, he's just not as crisp
Jon stewart
Jay Leno and Dave.. miss them .... All others are late night are douche bag haters
nopey
Craig Ferguson.
Wow the way he handles it is inspiring, love his music.
Sure, I'll watch this again. I've only watched it about 45 times.
"They certainly don't discourage you from doing whatever you want. It's not like bed rest and lots of water will straighten you out"
After years of working in Asbestos my dad was diagnosed w/ Meso on July 7, 1993 and passed away August 7th, 1993, You're right, it is an evil way to die.
Rest in Peace Warren. You added color to my life.
Wow what a lovely guy shame im just finding out about him now and david letterman seems like a good friend to him
Enjoy every Sandwich… I tell myself that 30 or 40 times a year …..And I always think of Warren’s Yvonne
"The doctor told me, your shit's fucked up." RIP, Warren.
Love the guy. Loved his music.
A lot of respect to Letterman for paying tribute to the great Warren Zevon.
I can't believe that somebody on this forum chided Letterman for not demanding that the HOF induct Zevon into the institution!??? Did the individual hear the compliment that Zevon gave Dave in the video. I am sure Warren appreciated Dave far more for his support in his career and friendship than any stupid nomination to a institution!!!
watching stuff like this makes you feel like nothing is more important than love and dreaming. nothing at all
Aynen kardes
very hard to enjoy these clips while crying. i want him back so badly. that house used him for that final episode absolutely destroyed me. if i could have only a few wishes one would be for warren to come back.
maybe the most underrated songwriter ever.
This is very sad to watch. My step dad was dying of lung cancer around the same time. He never asked "how long do I have"? He passed from a heart attack they felt brought on by ALL the meds.

This Warren Zevon guy was a cowboy! Such a unique voice and style. But he was tough. His songs came across as no-nonsense. Motherfucker makes you feel strength. He was strong. Now he's dead...but...you know the rest...
I was/am a Linda Ronstandt fan in the sixties and seventies. In an interview she noted her "idols" to be Lowell George and Warren Zevon. I was ignorant. I learned and admired. I miss them.
It's called sampling and Zevon was giving songwriting credit and his estate gets a share of the royalties from "All Summer Long".
I do have to say I love Letterman and Paul
