Holy Effing stuff! I was at this performance! Thank you so much for sharing!
(the first time I found an event that I was a small part of, on the internet)

It's called music.
Sounds weird to you because you're used to the Corporate plastic crap that goes for music these days.

Still my favorite Zevon song. I saw him perform live twice, in SF in 1986 and later in Oakland in 1996. I loved the way he would "update" the last lyric to modern events. I like think if he were still with us, it would got something like this:
"The eternal Thompson gunner,
Still wandering thought the night,
It's 46 years later, but he still keeps up the fight,
In Libya, in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Abbotabad...
Osama Bin Laden, heard the burst
Of Roland' Thompson gun and bought it!"

@remeclerk shut up, you are embarrasing yourself. If you are in the 'army' its probably a cook or mechanic, not infantry armour artillery etc the 'soldiers' fighting. Man your comments are silly stop. I love how people comment on videos that have nothing to do with the video. Anyways WZ is awesome anyone with ears can figure that out, and his music has got me through a loss right now. HIs tunes are so soulfull and comforting.
