Enormeous version of his solo 12 string guitar trouvadour period of this fabulous classic. Pure genious, only a few a couple of years before his fatal diagnosis.
I like this version ..I've heard many live version of this song and there all different, great and unique .but wow!! The looper pedal way back in 1986 ! Very ingenious! he uses it at the end of the song. I wonder how he first came across the looper pedal. which he ended up using all the time at his solo shows
I love this iteration of Detox Mansion. The album version is also a classic, but it's almost a shame this version was never officially released. (To the best of my knowledge.)
Would this song have been on tv if it was a metal band? No, they would have been banned. I love Zevon but I, also, recognize the double standard. Wow. Just wow.
alternate timestamps that eliminate the spoken song intros and go right to the song *soundboard recording:* 0:19 Frank And Jesse James 6:02 Start Me Up (instrumental intro) 7:12 Start Me Up 9:39 Poor Poor Pitiful Me 19:10 Veracruz 23:04 Reconsider Me 27:10 Detox Mansion 31:47 Bill Lee 33:55 Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner (instrumental intro) 35:15 Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner 44:41 Johnny Strikes Up The Band 49:25 Accidentally Like A Martyr 54:01 Tenderness On The Block 1:01:27 Boom Boom Mancini 1:08:18 The Factory 1:13:47 Werewolves Of London (instrumental intro) 1:14:26 Werewolves Of London (with snippets of other songs) 1:22:22 Not Fade Away 1:25:22 Lawyers, Guns And Money
*Question:* At 17:33, Warren asks for applause for Duncan Aldrich. Is he just asking for the audience to recognize Aldrich for his sound engineering? Or does Aldrich play on Veracruz? At 18:43, you can hear Aldrich is still on stage and Warren says "Hall & Oates" as though they are going to play as a duo. But I don't hear a second instrument on Veracruz or on the songs that follow. Can anyone tell whether he plays on any songs? Thanks.
What does everyone make of Warren crediting Don Henley with co-writing "Reconsider Me" at 22:50? Henley obviously receives no such credit on the released version.
Rare to see a show without "Excitable Boy" (and, perhaps to a lesser extent, "Play It All Night Long"). The songs he seems to have played at every show are "Werewolves Of London," "Lawyers, Guns And Money," "Poor Poor Pitiful Me," and maybe "Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner" and (once it was released) "Splendid Isolation."
I never heard WZ do cover songs until this. I got a kick out of his lyrics change on Werewolves to include James Taylor, Jeff Bridges and Jackson Browne.
5:42 What does this person say? "Give it up Warren?" I assume it had a different meaning then, because I can't imagine anyone with ears not wanting to hear him play.
I am only 30 and wasn't exposed to this incredible man's art until I was 17. Although my other tates in music changed with time, I have listened to him steadily the entire time. Warren is that one artist some of us have, who just captures and beautifully articulates things that matter to you in a deeply personal way, yet can't figure it out for yourself. Learning about him had me learning about myself. Thank you Warren.
I live in England, and when I talk about Warren to other so called music lovers, they say they've never heard of him. Sad loss to them, He was the best!! I did get to see him live in London in about 1994'ish
