I went home with the waitress, the way I always do - one of the secret dreams of every lonesome guy sittin!` in the coffeeshop down the street, right? There`s only one person, who makes a song about it, right? The one and only and unforgotten W.Z. Thanks for posting.
I was there that night. The room held only a few dozen people, tops. No more than one or two of those artists were on the bill - I forget which - but they all started coming down, one after the other, to play short sets in various combinations. It's a cliche, but seeing that many artists of that stature in that setting was one in a million.
That must have been great! I saw a bunch of great shows there, and took guitar lessons there upstairs as well. I miss McCabes! I wish they would release more videos of the whole show from that night! Oh well at least there are these two!
This is great stuff. Zevon was a true artist. Every live performance he did was unique. His last appearance on Letterman really got to me. Dave had a true love and respect for great musicians and Warren was surely at the top of his list.
You can really see the Hunter S. Thompson influence in this song. My favorite Warren Zevon story is him as a 13 year old knocking on Igor Stravinsky's door to request a music lesson.
Love this song and performance. RIP Mr Zevon and thanks for sharing your talent. You are not forgotten by this sixty year old Aussie! Perhaps I'm just an excitable boy!😉
What strikes me is how good a guitarist Warren is & also the amazing overtones created by two guitarists playing in-tune & simultaneously & how this went on to influence T-Bone's productions of future recordings, like Neil Young's 'Le Noise.'
no way I am smart enough to decide on the best of his songs, any one of a hundred of them told a thousand tales of my life rip John you are missed aww crap you made me look at things that I didnt wanna
Lyrics that speak of many lives such as my own. Call it back door relevance perhaps. We do this song at our fund raising concerts every year. RIP Zevon!!
Fantastic (because Awesome was already used!) Thanks so much for posting. I should have been paying more attention lo those many years ago, though it was undoubtedly invitation only!
This was the song my wife of 60 years used as our code for when I got into serious situations , and she preferred guns was an expert shooter, knew lawyers and and made. Great money. Damn I miss her thanks for the link ♾️🪖

Who in their right mind could give that a thumbs down? That is AWESOME on a 12 string.
Warren, we miss you terribly.

A truly classic song....just three chords and a whole lotta truth....
Three chord wonders are the heart of rock n roll
Isn’t that a classic Springsteen line?
Warron Zevon, is quite possibly the best song writer that their ever will be.
Wouldn’t argue with that. Political guy as well.
Wow! Would I love to have been there that night. I really miss Warren Zevon!
As a veteran I have been there when the shit hit the fan. Warrem Zevon turned the shit into one of my favorite songs.
He's missed by myself and others who feel his music in our souls. Rip
with you man. WZ was brilliant
I discovered him a year ago what a gem 💎
This has always been one of my favorite Warren tunes. This is such a great version. "The shit has hit the fan"
Best version of this song ever 🤘👍🤘👍🤘👍🤘
Epic song, epic version by an epic songwriter/musician. And look how happy T Bone is playing it…
warren zevon and elvis costello, what a night
What a unique songwriter with such bent twists and turns in his songs. Kept in my heart for more than a while....
This is great stuff. Zevon was a true artist. Every live performance he did was unique. His last appearance on Letterman really got to me. Dave had a true love and respect for great musicians and Warren was surely at the top of his list.
Well stated.
Sit back and enjoy one of the true greats just unleash it without a problem.
Just superb
Nice! Never heard it played on a twelve string acoustic before. A real classic! Zevon was truly an original artist. His music will live forever.
You can really see the Hunter S. Thompson influence in this song.
My favorite Warren Zevon story is him as a 13 year old knocking on Igor Stravinsky's door to request a music lesson.
What? Zevon was his own man and I guarantee Thompson never entered his mind while writing this song
Hunter s Thompson educate me
Gatsby called it correct. Zevon was unique in all the world. They broke bread together many years later, but this is Zevon 100 percent.
Love this song and performance.
RIP Mr Zevon and thanks for sharing your talent.
You are not forgotten by this sixty year old Aussie!
Perhaps I'm just an excitable boy!😉
Hell I’m 71 and I’m still rocking out to his music 🤘🤘🤘
I miss Warren every day of the week.
Two of the greatest of the great, right there!!!
What strikes me is how good a guitarist Warren is & also the amazing overtones created by two guitarists playing in-tune & simultaneously & how this went on to influence T-Bone's productions of future recordings, like Neil Young's 'Le Noise.'
Daniel Lanois produced "Le Noise". T-Bone has never produced a Neil Young record.
That's a very happy Warren. Thanks for uploading. This one's a gem.
Thank you for this what an awesome version of the song!
Warren Zevon RIP
A great songwriter with a great voice.
Seems fitting in 2024🎉
Same here
Ever noticed that when it hits the fan it sprays sll over the lower ranks first?
no way I am smart enough to decide on the best of his songs, any one of a hundred of them told a thousand tales of my life rip John you are missed aww crap you made me look at things that I didnt wanna
Zevon was a great guitarist. such a complete musician.
What an amazing combination of talent.
Lyrics that speak of many lives such as my own. Call it back door relevance perhaps. We do this song at our fund raising concerts every year. RIP Zevon!!
This is fricking great.
Had a few drinks with him in Setgis Spain in 1975/76 in the Dubliners bar. Happy days
What a wonderful version!
Warren Zevon, the real GOAT
It's hard to say which Warren song is my favorite, as his lyrics are funny, sick & smart...just how I like it! This may be the one!
God, I wish I could have been there.
There's a lot of "best" songwriters, but along with John Prine, Randy Newman and Loudon Wainwright III, Zevon is certainly one of the funniest.
I played it completely different.....now i see the right way
Definitely one of my all time favorite songs! ❤
Absolutely my favorite version of that song.
Thanks for posting this Wayne!
T bones back up was awesome warren a class act rip
That was awesome Wayne, it's your World.
EXCELLENT!!!
Love this version!
Sorry I missed that show!
That’s quite a list of of performers in the description above. Holy moly.
3 drunk people accidentally hit the thumbs down button
2 very talented band leaders who know more about Dylan than Bob even knew lol just perfection from these two LA musos
What a great share. Thanks so much.
I wish I had been there
EPIC!
T Bone looks like Neil Finn
Outstanding! Thanks for sharing.
I never knew my hero hung out with my fellow FW 80s hairdo…but a real treat.
Thanks!!! Miss Warren!!
Miss you Warren. R.I.P.
Legend stuff👏
Sadly never got to see Warren but did get to see T-bone live.
Great song
Awesome
Man do I miss Warren!
Fantastic (because Awesome was already used!) Thanks so much for posting. I should have been paying more attention lo those many years ago, though it was undoubtedly invitation only!
John Doe, playing an X classic, written by Dave Alvin, while he plays a Thin line Tele... It doesn't get much better than that. 💯❤️🇱🇷
Love it
man o man woah!
Love 💕 and miss the greatest White singer of all time W Z
Awesome!
The shit has hit the fan…
Thank you Wayne!
GOOD VIDEO!!!!!
I really wish Warren had done an album with T-Bone.
WOW
Lawyers..Drugs..n..Money !!!
SO SO good.
Please post more from this show ---- would love to see some Lindley performances. David is reportedly quite ill and not able to gig.
I like it better starting with D..but always a great tune in any key
epic
There used to be an even better clip of Warren playing a black 12-string but it seems to have disappeared.
Innocent bystander 👥️👤👥️
In an interview after he'd been diagnosed with lung(?) cancer, he was asked if he'd stopped smoking, typically he said why stop now? He had a point 😅
Warren “song noir” Zevon
TBB looks like CH´s Neil Finn;)
What ee said...
"dad, get me out of this"
Speak for yoself.
The Ballad of Donald Trump ?
"Vlad, get me out of this!" 🤣

loses something without percussion and bass
This was the song my wife of 60 years used as our code for when I got into serious situations , and she preferred guns was an expert shooter, knew lawyers and and made. Great money. Damn I miss her thanks for the link ♾️🪖
The true story of every alcoholic. I'm not sure of the number but I'm pretty sure I went home with about 15-25 waitresses bartenders and strippers
