Warren Zevon - Johnny Strikes Up The Band - 4/18/1980 - Capitol Theatre (Official) 

Great version thank you

This song is awesome. Warren Zevon has always been the most famous man for rock music. He has a really great option of rhythm.

Johnny is Johnny Carson. Freddie is Freddie De Cordova who arranged the house band. Rock on Warren!

I luv this song :D

Just too good

Great song! Love the guitar!

Interesting, the liner notes say, "Freddie jettin' ready", but literally every recorded version sounds distinctly like, "gettin' ready".

60 upvotes? That's it?

That guitarist is brilliant, His timing is perfect.

Is that Waddy? He's long and lanky but I don't remember seeing him with a mustache. Could have been at some point in the past, i.e. 1980
