Warren Zevon and Jackson Browne - Mohammed's Radio - Live 1976 (HD)

The Offender and The Pretender performing a Warren Zevon classic: Mohammed's Radio. Just amazing!

Mohammed's Radio: Written by Warren Zevon 1976
Zevon Music BMI.

Everybody's restless and they've got no place to go
Someone's always trying to tell them
Something they already know
So their anger and resentment flow

But don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long
Mohammed's Radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's Radio

You know, the Sheriff's got his problems too
He will surely take them out on you
In walked the village idiot and his face was all aglow
He's been up all night listening to Mohammed's Radio

Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long
Mohammed's Radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's Radio

Everybody's desperate trying to make ends meet
Work all day, still can't pay the price of gasoline and meat
Alas, their lives are incomplete

Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long Mohammed's Radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's Radio

You've been up all night listening for his drum
Hoping that the righteous might just might just might just come
I heard the General whisper to his aide-de-camp
"Be watchful for Mohammed's lamp"

Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long Mohammed's Radio

Fantastic performance. I love hearing David Lindley in the background, too!

I don't wanna leave a message on all of your videos, but this one is the real deal! In the mid to late 70's, The O and The P spent a lot of time being played through my speakers at home and on the road. Thanks for taking all of your time to share these videos.

Wow... even my 16 year old son says his generation missed all the great music. So true. Great vocals - these guys were poets, musicians, singers, they could do it all. Thanks for posting.

@4WingedBeatlez I had the privelege of getting to see Jackson Browne play this at a concert in Austin. It was amazing. He always seems to do a Zevon tribute. Two of my very favorite songwriters.

This is the best performance of this song that I have come across ... Sounds so sweet and earnest, and the harmonies between Warren and Jackson work so well ... Thanks for the post ... Wayne
