One of the few great musicians of the late 20thC......such beautiful music, fragile voice and soul....hmmm hmmmm hmmm

Crucified thieves indeed

Stunning version of this song. I love how he's playing WITH his piano as much if not more than he's playing the song. All the subtle flurries and interpretations are haunting and telling. It's almost as if you can hear a primal subconscious within a stream of conscious working somewhere deep inside him. His genius is obvious throughout. Brilliant. Thanks for posting.

@ConnotationPress Well said. Great song, great performance

[BigJohnWoody]

I'm happy to hear Zevon like this song as well. It's never good when the artists themselves loathe some of the songs you adore (a-hem, Radiohead).

Dont the trees look angry through... at me. Just had to point that out, wonderful version though

[Skwerrlly]

This is the best version I have heard so far.Warren was at it best alone,much like Springsteen in Nebraska or The Ghost of Tom Joad,his voice magnified in it's intensity by the starkness of the background music.

@Skwerrlly Thank you for the comment! I completely agree with you!

[smiddlecn]

[FolkAndMore]

Great music. Just love it!...Wolfgang

[TheBeestoncowboy]

HEY .........this is one super song and what a performance thanks for bringing it to my attention

[durangosteve]

God bless you and your family for putting that up ! You really made my day!

[TransientWriting]

this is good! but my favorite is the 1994 version from the wheeler opera house. he sings it much lower and slowly -- and the ending version has no "look away down gower avenue..." it just ends with the humming air conditioner.
