I get your sentiments, but, frankly, from this side of the pond The Hall of Lame is the most vomit-inducing wankfest to leech itself to the RnR product ever, the absolute antithesis of what RnR was about. Sorry, but someone needs to nuke the damn thing. I'm just grateful virtually none of the artists I hold dear would pee on the whole brown-nose farce if it were on fire.
The Rock ns Roll Hall of Fame is supposed to be about musicians who influenced music. Warren was not the most commercially successful, but when you look at the musicians who worked with him, appreciated his talent and supported him, kind of hard to argue that he was not influential. Look at he musical credits on his album Sentimental Hygiene and the tribute album Enjoy Every Sandwich after he died. If that does not qualify him, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is just bullshit
Seeing the title 'Warren Zevon - Poor Poor Pitiful Me...' is more than enough for thousands of us to click on, watch and enjoy SO much. But when he (and his GREAT band) then go on unexpectedly into Bruce's Cadillac Ranch, without even a break, it IMHO turns this into one of THE great music videos ever!! I absolutely love it.
The man was a helluva songwriter and artist. Always a macabre sense of humor that made his music so much fun. Love this guy thru and thru. His music is timeless
I played Lawyers guns and money for my wife who’s like 30 and never listens to classic rock. She said the song was stuck in her head for weeks (in a good way)
I saw him do a free / open air show in Waukesha, WI during a multi-night music fest. His opener was some very high energy Irish rock band I had never heard of (and haven't ever again), but then they stayed on to be his backing band. It was so great - he had a similar talent to Neil Young, who can turn from all-out rocker to breathtaking ballad on a dime, and the audience has no choice but to go with him. Waited around afterward to meet him (he was short!) and he was just a down-to-earth, friendly guy. This video definitely captures the same live performance spirit I saw.
This really helps when you're down in the mouth and feel miserable. I love his humor. A life insurance. I also love songs like "Werewolves of London", "Reconsider Me", and "Lawyers, Guns and Money" - brilliant stuff!
jackstraw1968 I wish you could have, too! I saw WZ in 1982 at the Bayou in DC, date of my future (and still) husband. We raised our sons to love them some Zevon!
Saw Warren in a beach bar in Sitges, Spain on the coast of Barcelona in 1976. Saw him again in a small venue called Rosebud in Pittsburgh. He came over to our table after the show and I told him the Spain story. He loved it!! I was seated with the Rock Radio station WDVE. He played this song dedicated to Bill Clinton!!
I think I was almost 30 when he died. It was a terrible year. Johnny Cash and John Ritter died the same year. It was a kick to the gut for sure. I used to sing Werewolves of London for karaoke. It meant more after I heard he passed. Check out his last song Keep me in your heart.
Warren was so fun, a joy to watch sing. I saw him at Tierra Verde, the southernmost tip of the Pinellas peninsula, south of St. Pete, FL, in 1982 or '83. Can't remember the year but I remember his beautiful spirit, his love for music! May he rest in peace! He's in that huge band in HEAVEN.
While I was fortunate to see WZ live, I missed him at Tierra Verde. I did however see Weather Report & the Pat Metheny Group there. Such an amazing venue! Wonderful memories, thanks.
@@bertvervoort7976 Really? Never knew this. Interesting. They both had fathers with drinking problems and Bruce went for abstinence while Warren went for embracing it and running with it!
Thankyou RUclips for giving me Warren Zevon's music. Radio and television stations here in Australia ignored Warren's brilliance ... However, thanks to RUclips I have discovered all his fantastic music (and sense of humour), like everybody, I thought 'Werewolves of London' was a 'one hit wonder', how wrong was I?
What a GREAT jam band with Zevon orchestrating the whole thing from the piano. Powerful voice and piano creates a rocking vibe that really gets the crowd going!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH I WAS AT THE Capitol Theatre that night great memories I can't thank you enough THE Capitol Theatre is long gone however thanks to people like you Warren will never be forgotten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ooh the added bonus of Cadillac Ranch!!! I love Warren Zevon beyond words, I miss him so much!!! He’s the best! My favorite song of his, besides the ever fantastic Werewolves of London, is Desperadoes Under The Eaves, I was born in Hollywood, so of course, plus it’s the most incredible song with the best lyrics ever!!
* Once again...can someone please explain to me why the amazing Warren Zevon is NOT in the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame? That's pretty effed up man!!! 💙🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
This has been one of my favorite things That I recently discovered, I play it fairly often - It's Preformed SO WELL - & Perfect for That Time in R'n'R - The Guitar Dancing thing - Ahhh....it takes me back & Just Makes Me Feel Happy & Smile EVERYTIME!! Thank You for This!
Warren was awesome. The good old days of the Capitol Theater and affordable concerts. I grew up in Lyndhurst NJ a hop skip and jump from the Capitol Theater. Also, good old Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City. Now, you need a loan to get a cheap nosebleed seat anywhere in the New York area. Or out on a lawn watching on a screen at PNC. Might as well watch at home. Besides the people holding their fucking phones up in front of you the whole time or screaming DURING the music so you can't hear it. The Beatles stopped touring and became a studio band because they couldn't hear themselves play.
AAAAAaaaaaaaargh! I didn't really discover Warren until "Life'll Kill Ya", and never had opportunity to see him in person. Probably my biggest musical "wished of". Love the energy, musicianship, and lack of distraction. Just real straight ahead rock and roll!
We always knew that Warren Zevon didn’t take himself with deadly seriousness. Now we see that his band didn’t either. They cover Springsteen’s “Cadillac Ranch” and during the second guitar solo, the bass player and rhythm guitarist do the back-and-forth horse move that the E Street Band did at the same point in the song. Warren was a useful reminder that rock music is supposed to be fun. I miss him.
To my buddy B.MASS! Brandon, I miss you brother, and happy birthday wherever you are! Listening to Warren for ya today! Wish I could find ya somewhere in this world and catch up, before one of us moves on to the next one!
That must have been one helluva concert to see live. I only saw him once live at party on the plaza in Houston after a few years living in Texas. After the concert I asked if I could get a piece of the radio station khol banner along the stage and they were like yes. I brought that banner with me through out the night to local bars. Everyone that I meet I had them sign it. Everyone in Texas has been so great. I made friends even though I am a Red Soxz fan, yet go Astros. Me and my friend opened our first automotive shop and I put up that banner proudly and often would read the comments and remember those faces of great people. Before Warren left the stage he said "My rides here" as he was speaking literally. Hej speaks of his dealing with death on a David Letterman and how a dentist actually told him to see a doctor. His second to last album was called Life will kill you. RIP Warren 👍💜
Our 4 1/2 month Rottweiler is named Zevon after Warren. He was pouting bif time, so I pulled this up. 😊 We are working on getting him to howl on cue to Warewolves of London. So far, he thinks we are nuts. 😂
I first heard of Warren Zevon in London 9late 70s) Werewolf of London was the first track I heard. Different and bloody good. A mate and I went to the Hammersmith Odeon, Hammersmith London. His piano player was ill so he did the whole concert by himself. What I was surprised about was that the majority of the audience appeared to be late teens early 20s. Another great memory from my years in Europe.
I get the feeling that when Warren heard the lyric's, "It rained all night the day I left The weather it was dry The sun so hot, I froze to death Susann', don't you cry. In grade school. It stuck, like a fox to chickens, instinctual.
Why has it taken me so long to look into more fine music from Warren. ...After all for years one of my faves was My shits fucked up (haha youse all thought I was gonnae say werevolves of London- well that's a classic but...
W zevon was one of the greats but he's up there with all the other great artist who have sadley passed rocking still at least I hope that's how it is guess well never know till we all get there too
Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner, My Shit's Fucked Up, Lawyers Guns and Money, Excitable Boy, Mr. Bad Example, Werewolves of London, Detox Mansion! Now that's Warren at full max CRAZY! Enjoy every sandwich! Right Dave?
WOW thank you so very Much I just saw myself too which i could care less about You allow me relive that night anytime i want GOD BLESS YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Musical genius wish I had know he did more than lawyers guns and money and werewolves of London while he was still alive I'm so sad I just rediscovered him in the last year
Why is Warren Zevon not in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame? He was such an amazing talent. His music continues to inspire.
I get your sentiments, but, frankly, from this side of the pond The Hall of Lame is the most vomit-inducing wankfest to leech itself to the RnR product ever, the absolute antithesis of what RnR was about. Sorry, but someone needs to nuke the damn thing. I'm just grateful virtually none of the artists I hold dear would pee on the whole brown-nose farce if it were on fire.

But when he (and his GREAT band) then go on unexpectedly into Bruce's Cadillac Ranch, without even a break, it IMHO turns this into one of THE great music videos ever!! I absolutely love it.
Couldn't agree more!
The man had chops...he knew how to play that's for damn sure...great cover of Cadillac Ranch, powerful!
The man was a helluva songwriter and artist. Always a macabre sense of humor that made his music so much fun. Love this guy thru and thru. His music is timeless
I've always said his songwriting was psychotic and that's why I love it so much.
The term "macabre" is perfect to describe Warren's sensibility. May he RIP!
I played Lawyers guns and money for my wife who’s like 30 and never listens to classic rock. She said the song was stuck in her head for weeks (in a good way)
Amen
Marty Robbins (RIP) and Warren Zevon (RIP) - the two greatest and most underrated singer songwriters of the last 70 years.
I HAVE EVERYONE OF HIS ALBUMS. I HAVE LISTENED TO HIM FOR OVER 40YEARS. RIP WARREN.
How solid is this band. You just don't get shows like this anymore sadly. Rest old mate.
uh yes you do, you're going to the wrong shows guy. people didn't stop being good at music when you turned 38
Such anger mate. Relax.
The point is, your missing the point of music if it's something that happened already. It's not for the past
This is how good Warren Zevon was live!
saw him twice
Has to be the best ever
He didn't really need a band... The way he was when I got to see him.
@@lwplwp Saw Zevon solo at the Old Waldorf in SF. He introduced himself and asked "Know why I didn't bring the band? Monster fucking ego!" Ha!
@@P2.L1 Haha thats awesome. I was born in 05 wasn't even alive when he was.

Very underappreciated a great artist
I've watched this clip countless times over the years, including just now for the first time in a couple or a few. This performance never gets old.
The whole concert is out there 🔊🎵🎵🎵
ruclips.net/video/B3JmtMCJ0ok/видео.html
I’ve just come back again after 18 months or so
Warren Zevon is a legend. He never got the level of popular recognition he deserved, but but real musicians know how great he was.
Flap Jackson: If I had powers, I would bring him back!
Marty Robbins never gotten his full credit.
Epic chords
Man...you can tell this Band Warren Zevon put together played AWESOME & KNEW HOW TO HAVE FUN ON STAGE!!!
Much love from Mobile Alabama
Not sure about this one, but his band for the Stand in the Fire album was a Zevon cover band that he used - how cool is that!
This really helps when you're down in the mouth and feel miserable. I love his humor. A life insurance. I also love songs like "Werewolves of London", "Reconsider Me", and "Lawyers, Guns and Money" - brilliant stuff!
Amazing, he was so talented, I wish I could have seen him once!!!
jackstraw1968 I wish you could have, too! I saw WZ in 1982 at the Bayou in DC, date of my future (and still) husband. We raised our sons to love them some Zevon!
He opened for the Cars at Rutgers in 78 or 79, what a blast. To be young again!!!
And the Cars opened for Cheap Trick a few years earlier.
We were so lucky to catch a concert he did in New Zealand.
I still have a photo of him performing at the concert.
..and his band was perfect..
I see what you did there!
Saw Warren in a beach bar in Sitges, Spain on the coast of Barcelona in 1976. Saw him again in a small venue called Rosebud in Pittsburgh. He came over to our table after the show and I told him the Spain story. He loved it!! I was seated with the Rock Radio station WDVE. He played this song dedicated to Bill Clinton!!
It's so good to see Warren having a great time. The band is having fun too.
I was 4 years old when Warren Zevon died. I want a REFUND on my day of birth. Can I please go back and attend this wonderful show!? PLEASE!!?
The beauty of RUclips is that you can!

i wasnt born

+Lisa Cunningham Yes, saw him 3 times in small venues - still remember some of the banter.
.. I know THAT place!
While I was fortunate to see WZ live, I missed him at Tierra Verde. I did however see Weather Report & the Pat Metheny Group there. Such an amazing venue! Wonderful memories, thanks.
@@rmoorefla Right? I love the room upstairs at Ruth Eckerd too! Saw Kenny F there in 1986! Before he invested in Starbucks. The ‘80s were so awesome 😎
I'm so proud to be a part of a great group "Warren Zevon" !!! he has helped make manifest my life !!!
This is real music and quality! Cadillac Ranch is one my favorite songs by Springsteen and Warren does a great job doing a cover!
They were good friends
@TobiasSwede, in his performance, "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" seems to provide a perfect intro for "Cadillac Ranch"!!! This was such a FUN performance!!
@@bertvervoort7976 Really? Never knew this. Interesting. They both had fathers with drinking problems and Bruce went for abstinence while Warren went for embracing it and running with it!

+Lisa Cunningham Thank You " IF YOU BELIVE IN FOREVER THAN LIFE IS JUST A ONE NIGHT STAND "
IN HEAVEN WARREN STRIKES UP THE BAND
Warren Zevon, i will never forget you.
These uptempo live renditions are just rockin! The blow must have been good on that tour 😎
Better than mine!!
It was 1982
Of course the blow was amazing 😂😂
cadillac ranch was only 2 years old when this took place. and its not like it was a huge hit single for bruce. so damn cool that zevon covered this.
the GOAT. What an absolute legend.
#TaylorSwift is the GOAT, actually!
@@Cjnw maybe one of the best in pop of the 2010s but 'all time' is a stretch. glad you like music though!
@Cjnw, actually not. It's childish to write a song about all your ex-boyfriends.
Ooh the added bonus of Cadillac Ranch!!! I love Warren Zevon beyond words, I miss him so much!!! He’s the best! My favorite song of his, besides the ever fantastic Werewolves of London, is Desperadoes Under The Eaves, I was born in Hollywood, so of course, plus it’s the most incredible song with the best lyrics ever!!
timeless and forever. this is what he has left us. passion.
well observed
Why has it taken me over 40 years to find this classic stuff. ❤
His music and talent are guiding me trough a diffucult time these days! Farewell!
This is still FANTASTIC in 2019!
2022
2023
2024!
Love it when they transition into Cadillac Ranch. I watch this shit everytime I drink.
I just love him what a great voice and he was such a great performer. It's past my bed time and watching his videos some sweet dreams ahead
Now, I believe the Tube/Google makes thinks/things up. Who would do that?
* Once again...can someone please explain to me why the amazing Warren Zevon is NOT in the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame? That's pretty effed up man!!! 💙🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Keven they are really shitheads...Dylan among many admire Warren.
Damn straight!!
Golden God of Music.
How I MISS HIM.
MY ONE COMFORT...
GODS AND LEGENDS NEVER DIE
AND WARREN ZEVON IS BOTH!
ROCK THE PILLARS OF HEAVEN!
Epic!!! R&R hall of fame is half ass till they let him in and apologize for the travesty.
Signed...Roland the headless Thompson gunner
The transition from Zevon to Springsteen is one of my favorites in live performance history
What a great time. Everyone was just having fun.
Man I wish I could have seen him live, he’s electric
Got to see Warren Zevon in July 1994 in Ft.Worth Tx. Such a great show. I sure miss him.
This has been one of my favorite things That I recently discovered, I play it fairly often - It's Preformed SO WELL - & Perfect for That Time in R'n'R - The Guitar Dancing thing - Ahhh....it takes me back & Just Makes Me Feel Happy & Smile EVERYTIME!! Thank You for This!
He did some great songs!

Massive talent but also a bit of grit and rough edge that that makes it real, non-polished. That's part of what makes it great.
Best version of "Cadillac Ranch" I've ever heard.
You don’t what you’ve got until it’s gone... RIP
I saw this tour in KC in a smallish club. It was beyond amazing.
Wow! Gorgeous 😍
My opinion he was in a class by himself godspeed
R.I.P. Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAaaaaaaaargh! I didn't really discover Warren until "Life'll Kill Ya", and never had opportunity to see him in person. Probably my biggest musical "wished of". Love the energy, musicianship, and lack of distraction. Just real straight ahead rock and roll!
What a performance!!! Tore the cover off of that one!! Miss u, Warren!!
This is still fantastic in 2020
yeah and it will still be in 2023 ok?
Warren when he was totally mental.I love Warren totally mental.Willy on the plate.If you don't know what that is,you're not really a Warren fan.
Bought excitable boy when I was 18, 1978
Almost forgot to listen to this today, but my 4 year old daughter reminded me.

Hah! That is classic E Street!
Legend!!
live performances like this make you not want to ever play the recorded version again.
he was awesome in live shows . played often in chgo . saw him easily half a dozen times
I am jealous
To my buddy B.MASS! Brandon, I miss you brother, and happy birthday wherever you are! Listening to Warren for ya today! Wish I could find ya somewhere in this world and catch up, before one of us moves on to the next one!
my one regret in life is I never got to see Warren live, but thank the Lord for video
I was lucky enough to see him back in 1998. Great performer!
That must have been one helluva concert to see live. I only saw him once live at party on the plaza in Houston after a few years living in Texas.

Well that was an unexpected but awesome segue!
I first heard of Warren Zevon in London 9late 70s) Werewolf of London was the first track I heard. Different and bloody good. A mate and I went to the Hammersmith Odeon, Hammersmith London. His piano player was ill so he did the whole concert by himself. What I was surprised about was that the majority of the audience appeared to be late teens early 20s. Another great memory from my years in Europe.
Excellent Set!!!!!
I get the feeling that when Warren heard the lyric's,
"It rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot, I froze to death
Susann', don't you cry.
In grade school. It stuck, like a fox to chickens, instinctual.
Why has it taken me so long to look into more fine music from Warren. ...After all for years one of my faves was My shits fucked up (haha youse all thought I was gonnae say werevolves of London- well that's a classic but...
In 2020 too! I met him once...
Thanks for posting this. It is pure joy!
Man oh man. What a talent. We miss you Warren. R.I.P.
W zevon was one of the greats but he's up there with all the other great artist who have sadley passed rocking still at least I hope that's how it is guess well never know till we all get there too
Great version of Cadillac Ranch!
Really...2 people gave this thumbs down? Guess it really is true...everyone in this world has an opinion and an a$$hole.
Loved his music young love music old enjoy every sandwitch all right baby rip
Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner, My Shit's Fucked Up, Lawyers Guns and Money, Excitable Boy, Mr. Bad Example, Werewolves of London, Detox Mansion! Now that's Warren at full max CRAZY! Enjoy every sandwich! Right Dave?
Bruce was a fan (and friend) of Warren.
David Landau was WZ's guitarist. His brother Jon was Bruce's manager.
that's right you better stand up for this
Love Warren ! RIP 💕
Looks like a rollicking good time. I wish I could have been there.
Gone too soon.😢

Zevon the great .Love him
Play at 1.25x. Sounds incredible. It actually works really well
