I love this take, even with Steve missing a line and a few clunkers from the backing band.
If anyone has the Zevon version, I would really like to see it posted as I have never heard it. It's just a brilliant song, and as you may know, generally pretty much unlike most of Warren's songwriting in that it's a straight ahead love song....though with some brilliant structure to it.
Warren was an awesome songwriter who, unfortunately liked to drink to excess. Steve does his memory well with this rendition, even if he does have more hair on his chin than his head!
Sweet Tune !. Always great to see Steve ,no matter how he looks ,for those who seem to judge his appearance cause they don't have a life of their own. Fuckin' morons !
unrepentant > Exactly!! I've secretely wished The Wire to stop and Steve to look like a human again! And the homeless look is back! Poor Alison - or, didn't she made him? :-)
Maybe Allison likes the homeless look! There must be a reason for it as he clearly stated once he didn't like it when he had to do it for The Wire. When he cut it all off last year after recording The Wire, he looked so much fresher and younger! Yes, i know its all about the music and who cares what he looks like, but he does look a bit odd...
Great song and performance. Steve Earle is a legend but why does he choose to look like this? hasn't The Wire finished now? I remember reading interviews when he had to look this way for that show where he said he hated it, now he chooses to look this way! Steve, cut your hair and shave your beard! There's a good looking dude under there somewhere...
WTF is to you how he looks. Fuck off and get a life. How dare you judge Steve ,or anyone else. If I saw you in personm say that shit ,you'd be going to the dentist asshole !
i was at this taping. this was the second time he performed the song that night. it was great to see.

@unrepentant42 Music was good when musicians used to be ugly. Attractive people should be banned from making music.

Nice gesture. Out of his range though, should have picked a higher key.

It IS hard to believe it's been that long since Zevon died.
Great song, great band, great remembrance.
