Who are the personnel besides Zevon, Browne, and Lindley? I will say the drummer is Rick Marotta, who played on LR sessions as well as Browne's. You only get a glimpse of the organ player at 3:30. I have no idea who it might be. The bass player could be Leland Sklar though you cannot get a goo...

The experience up there on stage is astonishing and its effects on the players must be huge. It's closer to 230 years experience including Alison's thirty years. It certainly will affect all of them in their musical careers. For instance I detect a more 'edgy' sound to Alison's work after this (...

At first I could not conceive of this duo being as good as Simon and Garfunkel as one poster sees it, however the more I think about it......Because there is nothing.....sadder than losing yourself in love....This video is important and man that solo by Buddy Miller is elegant, eerie, and hauntin...

My goodness that man can play.

I'm with the poster who said he does not get this video. The fellow in the brown shirt and black jeans....The girl smiles at him at :56 and he walks away at 1:23, then the couple making out at 1:18 and he's walking away from that too. Then at 2:32 the poor guy really looks lonely. So he smiles...

Beautiful version. Tony's voice going still is heartbreaking although the distinctive guitar sound is great to hear. Gord's Gold, some of the best tunes ever written.

Imagine being the next act up? Like, 'uh oh'.

Great touring band, looks like they are having a good time with Warren. Wicked guitar work by John Wood. Who else but Zevon could write a tune like this? And then make it popular is even more remarkable!

The incomparable Steve Gadd on drums. Who is the young kid on guitar? Pretty good. Does not seem nervous at all up there with the greats.

This one's really something: A wild rhythmic ride, a tribute to Graceland's African roots. There is a percussionist on the far right of the stage, a conga-and-cymbal setup, and a full drum set in the middle that appears to be Steve Gadd and he appears to be playing bare handed (4:00).

I believe she is reading the lyrics particularly obvious :37 to 1:04. So what? It's live. Got to get the lyric right. The mandolin is a great effect. Very good rendition of the tune and of course like all LR performances, a great band.

Look at :48 to :58. The late great Andrew Gold and the late great Kenny Edwards up there with the great Ronstadt. Who can compare?

Anybody recognize the trio backing him up? As with all his touring bands over the years, clean and tight.

Total genius. Name another song that puts you on the edge of your seat, wondering if the hero will score. In a song. He does this in a song. Funny, great choice of words. Masterful. This guy is in the same league as Dylan, Springsteen, Simon in my opinion. In certain areas, maybe better tha...

The obscure American artist Warren Zevon performing one of his obscure masterpieces Genius live and on stage. David Letterman's lasting contribution to art. Thanks, Dave for recognizing an artistic genius.

Great song.

"And I'll never make you sad again, cuz I swear that I've changed since then, and I promise that I'll never make you cry."

To his great and lasting credit, Dave saw, and recognized this quirky, enigmatic giant of an American artist. This is important footage, a national treasure really.

One of the greatest artists of our time.

"You said I believe the seraphim will gather up my pinto,

And carry me away Jim, across the San Jacinto"
