Warren Zevon-12-Poor Poor Pitiful Me/Cadillac Ranch

[musicmandon1]

Normally I have 0 taste for rock. Warren Zevon, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Seger are the exceptions. I saw Zevon twice in performance--once 5 days before this video was made, he appeared at my alma mater, Glassboro State College in New Jersey. the other show was in Phuilly, 8 years later. For my money his best album was "Excitable Boy," though "Warren Zevon," "Stand in the Fire,' and "The Envoy," i also enjoyed greatly, though the latter 2 didn't sell well.

You have to admire the cajones of someone who finds out he has terminal lung cancer and starts smoking again. R.I.P. Warren.  Nobody like you to this day, and it's a complete fucking shame.

Punk genius!

My dad just died of mesotheioma. Does anyone how Warren was exposed to asbestos?

[G8GT364CI]

@mrbobevans No, it's unexplained.

He was so cute!

[Atomsk102]

Saw him four times, at places such as The Bayou in DC, The Paradise Rock Club in Boston, and the auto show in Columbus OH... Not a club named The Auto Show, but an actual auto show!!!

Seems like some people I know! OMG! I am 40+ YO and can tell the difference between living and dying. Seems to me many kids are being weak and dying personally because we do not drive them to be themselves! BTW: I do not like this tune! I do like the party where you said 'Poor Pitiful Me"...seemed like a good tune.

@AUCHTERCOMPANY Like most Zevon songs the request for pity is tongue in cheek I believe.

[caughtinheadlights83]

I can never thank you enough for posting this. LEGEND!

[TBCHQ]

Warren Zevon is sorely missed. A musical genius. Hands down the best live show I've ever seen...and I've seen Tool and Pink Floyd in concert.

[manuetalain83]

This artist was so different but what a fucking talent!

R.I.P Warren!

I miss you

[jdookster]

He added that for "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead", but not for every show we did that tour.

[Gatsby999888]

[brennaboo]

Wish I was there

[girlonthegant]

what a man im 27 and only got in to his music before he died. i am now in awe of warren..he is a legend!!

[jdookster]

Yeah.. I was at the show too. The complete concert at the Capitol Theatre consisted of 2 sets. The first set was about an hour long and included about 13 songs. 3 of the songs were not used in the video. The last 3 songs of the set were played as a medley (Charlies Medicine, Jungle Work and Play It All Night).

The 2nd set was about 70 minutes long, but only 5 of the songs were used in the video. Some of the best songs were cut, which I have as audio tracks.

[sz3rd]

love this set thank you who got it back........

[arrowood39]

I was at this show!!! Couple of months early I saw WZ at The Bottom Line....He sang Werewolves of Flatbush for me and my brothers...before the song he asked me where I was from I said Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn..Warren said "The Lord's Of Flatbush"..so his encore went over big time...I saw WZ over 35 times...I was at his last show on Letterman...

[MrVertigo1965]

Love it !

174 hits..and fucking Nickelback gets 8.000.000 !

[Jpferg31]

@MrVertigo1965 8 million hits for Nickelback is RIDICULOUS!! R.I.P Zevon

[MrVertigo1965]

@Jpferg31 I totally agree.
