[barroness1988]

this guy was incredible fun.what a partyier'.didm,t know who iwas hanging out wifh til iran away from him,back in 1978.ny friend asked me why i would split Warren Zevon. He didn't tell me who he was and he was above my level 3 day binge.I was tired and left him to party o.'n. alone.he was a nice man and we had a good time. he was just another guy to my discernment. He seened lonely or i would have left after the first nite,I was blessed by god,to have met him., i

A brilliant song by a brilliant singer and brilliant songwriter. R.I.P.

[Parkinstarkey]

Why do I feel like playing this in a bar?

[dayooperASBDT]

We miss you Warren!

[albertmarriner]

if you work construction, this is the ultimate song to sing when you're running power tools. scares everyone to death, which is priceless!

[eklera]

@albertmarriner LOL

[sevenfingers2001]

always been one of my favorites by Warren

[rampage6060]

hope he doesnt lose his head playing in front of a crowd like this

[cretan982]

Warren Z seems to be out of breath way back here in 82. Wonder if there was already a problem. In his last Letterman he admitted he hadn't seen a doctor in 20 years.

Anyway fantastic song and performance. RIP

[1071john]

[eplaksin]

[LOLOLSUPBRO]

:) Love this shit

[MrValentinoDracula]

im glad he never sold out like other "rocknroll" greats

[theredmax]

@MrValentinoDracula Im not sure he had a chance. I mean - his last video was on the letterman show (with Schaefer's backing vocals almost eclipsing the wonderful song)

[Slightlybent]

Thanks for posting these jd! Zevon really was a genius.

[omtechxl]

Great postings jd, have been a huge Zevon fan since the 70's this is the first time finding this series from 82. Warren wrote and performed many classics, but few are captured live, when he was at his best. This is awesome. Thanks for posting.
