I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin'
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
I'm gonna drink 'em up
And if California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill
Don't the sun look angry through the trees
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves
Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves
Heaven help the one who leaves
Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands
And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me
But except in dreams you're never really free
Don't the sun look angry at me
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
I was listening to the air conditioner hum
It went hmm…

Warren Zevon “Jesus Mentioned” Live at the Roxy on 01/21/1983
Переглядів 727Рік тому
This is a live performance of Warren Zevon’s first song about Elvis Presley, “Jesus Mentioned”. He co-wrote another song about Elvis Presley entitled “Porcelain Monkey” with his friend Jorge Calderón many years after he wrote “Jesus Mentioned”. I think that all of you will enjoy this beautiful performance if you can get past some of the distractions in the audience. I'm going down to Memphis Me...

Warren Zevon’s second song about Elvis Presley, the first being “Jesus Mentioned”. He was an accident waiting to happen Most accidents happen at home Maybe he should've gone out more often Maybe he should've answered the phone Hip-shakin', shoutin' in gold lamé That's how he earned his regal sobriquet Then he threw it all away For a porcelain monkey He threw it away for a porcelain monkey Gave ...

    *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.

  • @benmeltzer

    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.

  • @benmeltzer
    @benmeltzer 3 місяці тому

    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 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.
