    Saw him on the Excitable Boy tour. The audience went nuts and wouldn't let him go. They did the usual encores, but after two or three there was a long delay. Even when the house lights came on, the crowd wouldn't stop clapping so the band came out rather awkwardly but finally got organized and did another song. They left the stage obviously in gratitude and it happened again! A fifth encore--this time an awkward huddle while they decided on a song. When that one was done, the crowd couldn't believe what had happened! So they called them back for another encore! Warren came out and played a song at the piano by himself. By this time the applause was as much a thank you as a call for more. They closed the stage curtain to try and give the audience a hint, but the applause continued. Warren and the band came out a seventh time in front of the curtain to say thank you and they didn't have any songs left!

    I was a HUGE Warren Zevon fan in the 80's...played all his stuff NONSTOP...he had come to Univ. of Colorado at Boulder (1976), I was a freshman... and he was TRASHED...couldn't finish his set...but I still loved his music. As life had it I was in Melbourne Australia in a Hilton Hotel and he was playing with the Little River band (1990), I knew the keyboard player for LRB and he introduced me to Warren. I asked him about "detox mansion" and asked me if I "knew Bill W?"...I sort of did and he sat with me for dinner and then invited me to lunch the next day in the hotel...HE then left me a message with the front desk before he left...wishing me well. I was a pilot for Australian Airlines and he said he "wished he could do something like that"...i thought it was ironic...he was with some politicians daughter. I ran into him again years later in my hometown of Ft. Collins Colorado 1993?..he was just walking down the street to get some "marlboro Lights" and he was playing in a small bar...he put on a HELL of a show..but there couldn't have been more than 100 people..he was a true hard driver...he gave it all he had. Miss his music..he told me he liked to play the guitar best but was better at piano.

    Grew up in Nj - my uncle lived in cali in late 70s. Was always hungry for that next album. He brought me a copy of Excitable Boy, put it on my phonograph w giant headphones. The rest was history. Had the pleasure of seeing WZ over 40 times through the ups and downs. Always slayed me to the core. Last show was in Annapolis Md on my birthday - during his second to last album- his encore was wind beneath my wings which he sang with utmost sincerity. I Did not know he was sick at the time but he must have known as his edge was way more serious than all previous shows. His last two albums are fucking gems, no one writes songs like that anymore. While never mainstream he deserved a lot more recognition than he received. He is my go to on the darkest of days and the brightest of days. Dude was beyond genius. Let’s keep passing his music on, because he was an American treasure.. Keep him in our hearts for a long while..

    What a great show, when Warren was near his peak of popularity. As the years passed, the record sales slowed, and the audiences and venues got smaller, but Warren never lost his edge. In his last years, I heard him say in an interview, with his classic dark humor, that he did not think of himself as a has-been rock star, but more as a really successful folk singer. He was one of a kind!

      Warren Zevon was supporting his 1982 album "The Envoy" on this tour. The record failed to build on the audience he'd gained from his two previous hit albums, "Excitable Boy" and "Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School." Five years later, his comeback album "Sentimental Hygiene" sold okay but Warren Zevon's only hit album outside of "Excitable Boy" and "Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School" would be his last, "The Wind."

    I just happened upon Warren Zevon a few months ago, and already I'm addicted. Scratch that- I'm on a full blown Zevon kick to beat all Zevon kicks. I can't tell you how many times I can listen to "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" without even thinking of turning on the radio, just so I can listen to modern tecchy music. What with the rebellious insanity of the Stones, the sax-driven rocking of the E-Street Band, and the Police's strumming dignity, Warren was the growling, deep-voiced, piano playing artist that wasn't afraid to bring death to one of his songs. This concert is a great example of classic Warren. He'd howl at the moon to be heard, and boy, aren't we glad we listened?

      He was great at shining a light on the seedier side of humanity and giving voice to all kinds of underworld characters and situations. His songs took the opportunity to poetically, humorously and intelligently tell stories that tend to get overlooked (Viet Nam, mercenary killers, drug addiction, rape and murder) because they make us all squeemish. But these are legit subjects. Musical subjects. Pathos, destruction, love amidst pain and suffering, injustice, insanity...these are all things we need to sing about, instead of pretending the don't exist.

  • @katharper4595

    I watch these earlier videos, when Warren was younger, when the venues were bigger, and watching him live onstage was like having an hour-and-a-half long intravenous injection of adrenaline fired into you by a cannon.Yeah, mixing my metaphors, but it's the only way I can describe the experience and do it even marginal justice. I've seen other rockers live, dozens of them, and enjoyed myself very much. But not one---NOT A SINGLE ONE--could make the music arc like chain lightning from the stage to the crowd like this man did. And he never lost that connection, not ever. It became more subtle, more....personal. But it was always there, always intense, always....Warren. I don't even bother to attend live rock concerts anymore. Without the hope of seeing him up there, pulling me into his world, his mind, his...soul, why would I even bother? Even the best the rock scene has to offer would be like drinking tepid water instead of White Lightning, without Mr. Bad Example up there pouring out the shots. Gods I miss you, Warren! It was always one helluva ride when you drove....See you again soon....

He glanced VERY briefly, then added, "....but accurate!" I will remember that for the rest of my life.

    I met Warren in '95...the summer he was hangin with Carl Hiaasen , working on his FLORIDA-FLAVOURED ALBUM "MUTINEER". BTW, the album was named for a restaurant where the girls from my office and I lunched a couple days a week. Genius that he was, Warren had this problem of finding places where he was supposed to meet up with friends. Thats how I met him.. While he was waiting for Carl to rescue him at a Borders bookstore. I came away from that 10-15 minute contact with the Force Of Nature that was Warren Zevon utterly besotted. If I could have seen that less than a decade later he would be gone...I think I'd have focused more on the ephemeral things like the scent he wore..the flash and dazzle of that incredible grin of his....and bugger the book of poetry I had picked up.

    My three favorite albums from Zevon include Bad Luck Streak In Dancing School, of which this concert featured much material. It was a criminally underrated album that was very much Warren Zevon's sound in one microcosm. I'm glad people are finding this concert and realizing how much butt Warren kicked. He's got an untouchable place in this man's heart.

    A lot of obvious references come to mind: Dylan, Springsteen, Waits, Cohen plus the pulp fiction writers he devoured, but remains unique - nobody else could have written these songs. Plus, when on form, one of the great live acts - he leaves it all out there on the stage - that's quite a legacy. 👏👏👏
