Saturday Night Live -Warren Zevon
-
Artist:
For anyone who reads the Zevon bio "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead", the listening experience to Warren's work is forever altered - for the better. A whole new appreciation for his genius is attained and his place in the musical pantheon is forever elevated. I never met a man with more warts in his persona who ultimately proved to be so embraceable. Simply reminding us all of our own human frailties and shortcomings.
So,time flys by and it's is already over six years since his passing, There has been some dispute over the source of this broadcast, Warren clearly mentions the venue as London and the BBC did indeed broadcast his London concert in 1988 however the song order slightly differs. As far as can be gathered this is a rebroadcast of the London show by a Dutch radio station, who may have edited the original a little.
Leaving the detail aside this is an excellent concert from Warren Zevon accompanied by a superb band. The original performance was on the 25th January 1988 at London's Hammersmith Odeon.

Excellent stuff......I have always liked Zevon a whole lot, but I am ashamed to say that for some reason I have not read that bio (yet).
Thanks for the post; I'm at the very least inspired to read the book.
It is excellent stuff. Warren was a pretty talented guy.
Let me know if you have any trouble finding the book. :-)
