Warren Zevon - Lawyers, Guns And Money - 4/18/1980 - Capitol Theatre (Official) 

This song is the sound track of my life. Shit is always hitting the fan.

My ringtone. Having it go off in a room full of lawyers when I was being deposed for a lawsuit was a highlight of my work as a forensic psychologist.

Such a rocker! Love the segue in the lyrics from the tough loner to "...dad, get me out of this!" RIP, Warren, you have so many fans who listen to your music.

I want this played at my funeral, loudly.

I play this song 3 times a week... it still stands up to all folks... love the line the shit has hit the fan.... Awesome...

thanks dad for always being there for me no matter how far or wild i traveled

Lyrics don't get better than this!

I love his quote when David Letterman asked him on his last interview before he died if he had any advice on life and he said, "Enjoy every sandwich".

I miss this man so much! RIP Legend 🙏

This was a REAL rock band.

This is dangerous....this is rock and roll

Thanks for all the songs, be at peace......

My mom saw Warren before he got sober and he said he was an absolute wild man of a performer, jumping off of his piano, etc. Then she and my dad saw him later on and it was amazing as well, but he had mellowed out.

We do this song at our parties. I've sang lead with our band on it a few times . When I'd get to the last line where the shit hits the fan, I felt high voltage shooting up through my spine. AAAGGGHHH!

saw rm in chicago. with my brother in law. bonnie raitte and steve earl. . lucky for me... never 4gottn. thank you.....

One of my favourite songs by Warren Zevon.

RIP, Wild Man! 💥🌹

I saw Warren in B’ham AL and he was fantastic. I miss him.

Amazing

Highway 61 is such a great album. So many amazing songs. He was criticised for using an electric guitar. No wonder he got the Nobel. His output of no 1 singles is prodigious. Greatest song wrier of the 20th Century? Cole Poter should get a mention

The best song, IMHO to perform , and also to listen to. Written I believe, in honor of Hunter S. Thompson.

Always my favorite Zevon song. It’s been my personal theme all my life. My friends always say it is so you.

Never heard this until I was on BBC Radio 5 on Wednesday. Totally amazing! Ken, Toronto, Canada

Gotta say I love this song, live your life

So incredible! None like him!

Truly the best song ever! Warren was the best!

i get the sense that warren had a good time on the road 😀

I so love this guy

mentored by Jackson Browne. Check out some of the stuff they did together - or Browne covering Zevon's songs

From the 70s but has a relevance today Hunter

wow very good

Wish I had seen him live more than 1 time.

This was performed 2 weeks after I was born.

I love you more than my parents do. Crazy...

enjoy every sandwich in heaven.

The weirdest great songwriter on the '70's. Or the greatest weird songwriter. Either way, it's no mean feat.

Better then the Stones:

Timeless lyrics

Ukraine needs this😉

This guy was so freakin talented. I was born in the wrong generation.

dear warren just so into it others look like they are there thinking about which bus timetable they can catch next bus outa there you will get belted with his sweat at concerts if up front god bless no more oh to be sprayed with that honest juice of love doing the thing god decreed

missed him free twice at uwmadison

Pure steez

3 people couldn't get ahold of lawyers guns and money

white boy with soul

They don't make em like Warren anymore. Now, depress the accelerator.

ONE OF THE TOP 5 SONGS EVER WRITTEN ...sounds as if JOHN LENNON should have written it....but he never... ever... had the JUICE..with his BULL-SHIT DRUG HABIT... ...thank God for WARREN ZEVON... (Only topped by Mc Cartney's ' With a little Help from my Friends' ....for RINGO. This is.... IN my WORLD SONG PLAY BOOK. MAYBE ONE or TWO.... Just an OPINION . COULD BE WRONG.......... NAH...... It's the BOMB.

A FUCKING MAZING

That's what I need to get out of the crap with the tax department. LoL

is zappa playing guitar?

I got to see Warren Zevon. I can even say I knew him when he was living in Philadelphia ("Nita in the Morning" days...) I can't say I was his friend. He was a huge fan of my dog and used go out of his way in Rittenhouse Square to say hello and pat him. A few years after that he played solo at the Chestnut Cabaret, was playing this very song (on the 12 string), stopped in the middle, look me right in the face and said: "Hey... Will you get me a beer?" I did.

Small club in Panama. Off duty army intelligence soldiers chugging beer with this tune on the jukebox back in the ancient 1970s. Glad I lived to have these memories. Thanks for adding this classic favorite to my playlist.

My dad died suddenly earlier this year. We shared a lifelong bond over music. This was the last song he ever showed me. Thank you, Warren, and thanks, dad.

Warren Zevon was one of the most intelligent and original songwriters I've ever seen.

The best never gets old. And never dies. They live on in their music.

Why is Warren Zevon so ignored, underrated, even unknown? To me he is probably the most inventive, versatile and creative musicians of my lifetime - an amazing songwriter and a brilliant performer. Who knows where he would have gone had he not died so tragically young? He was incapable of producing anything that was not original. Honour to his memory.

To future generations who look back and try to put our society in context, this is how to rock.

Have I told this story before? Saw Warren in Austin at Club Foot with my future ex-wife in 1982. Still have the ticket stub on my law office wall. Solo show. Saw him for the second time in Austin in 1989, after future ex and I had separated. Saw him for the last time in 1993 in Austin with our son, age 8, on my shoulders. Warren came back out to do an encore. We were 10 feet from the stage, outdoors venue, Liberty Lunch. "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, can he play "Excited Boy"??!! Warren heard him, looked up from his guitar, grinned, and immediately launched into a roaring, soaring "Excitable Boy". That moment will live with me till the day I die. My son, now 30, and a big Zevon fan, won't forget it, either.

The completely lovable madman musician. Thank you Warren!

While going through some legal issue in the early 80's this song really helped keep my head screwed on straight. "The sh1t has hit the fan". Ain't that the truth!

This song should’ve been used in Better Call Saul

For my dad, who passed away a week ago. This was his theme song

can we talk about the band? Holy shit… All of them legends nobody knows them except us

Best...Riff... Ever... This guy is so missed.

'Enjoy every sandwich " Warren Zevon

One of the best songs on the whole youtube channel ... 15 years Warren you left this planet THANKS

I am beginning to get disgusted by dead dads and played at funeral comments. If someone's dad died, why advertise it on RU-vid. Enjoy the music and praise the artists. Sorry if my comment sounds harsh but I mentioned what I felt.

That's what I call an outright sound in a band, fellas!

One of the great regrets of my life was not seeing him in concert.

Loved Warren, and his hair was perfect! 😎

Anytime I need a pickme up I put this on , crank the volume knob and I’m good!

Raspberry Beret, Werewolves of London, Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner, and my favorite My $hit is all f'd up.

Amazing, Frank Zappa on lead and Donny Osmond on keys.

Dear Warren, somehow the shit always hits the fan

This is a great performance of this brilliant song ! .. Lots of energy and attitude, but at the same time sticking closely to the melody and feel of the original recording .. Love it !

Love this zevon song... mucho mucho mucho.... I'm an expat living in mexico for a long long time...many yrs ago when an apprentice electrician...and drinking in executive martini bars...I discovered this song on the flip side of werewolves of London...skipped over and over... til the executive types went nuts...still love the song and suggested it to a great R'n'Roll Band from Guadalajara .... cheers from Mexico

Enjoy every sandwich. That was said by Warren Zevon on David Letterman show many years ago. I never forgot it.❤❤❤

The brilliance of Warren Zevon is beyond belief!

The guitar player could be Frank Zappa's brother.

What an awesome performance... HEY!

I'm not sure how i got here, but happy to have arrived. Classic!!!

DAMN - THIS IS FRIGGIN GR8!! I Love this Song - & This Version Kicks Ass!! THANKS - Made My DAY!!

Props on pronouncing Johannesberg properly. ("joe", not "yo" ) Warren got it wrong on the original recording buy once he found out always sang it properly after that.

Randy Newman is in the Hall of Fame and he isnt......HOKAY....

I miss his voice so much. (I know I made you miss that chord when I walked by. Thanks for looking. ;) Love you Warren.)

I live in LA and got drunk with him several times that last year he started drinking again. No songs came of it, but there was poetry.

I like to think there’s a universe out there where Warren was a part of Rocky Horror

I am eternally grateful for having seen him before he passed. Genius.

I was 19 back then, he had a few great songs like this one. thanks for ride back.

We miss you Warren; nobody can ever fill your shoes.....

Is this a great song? DAMN fine tune.

Interesting how most preforms speed up their songs when performing live, where as in this instance Zevon slows down

How was I to know, she was with the Ruskies too?

One of the best songwriters of his generation, he wasn’t that great of a live performer but he could do it, Detox Mansion!

This song is composed of grit and granite. A base layer of necessities.

Can't even count the times I said ' Dad get me out of this'

What energy! Out flipping standing. Never saw this before. The lead guitar player looks like the love-child of Frank Zappa and Groucho Marx. Love Zevon and his music to end of the universe. Thanks for posting this, buddy.

WZ also did an album with REM guys (sans Stipe) called Hindu Love Gods. The opening track really kicks ass❤

I love this song. Warren, we miss ya, buddy.

Enjoy every sandwich warren in that big cafeteria in the sky
