Warren Zevon - Splendid Isolation [1989]

[Hi-Fi Mono] The late singer-songwriter appeared on this eclectic USTV program, backed by the house band for this number from the lp of that time.
Apologies for the slight hum in the signal. This was always present in the recording/broadcast, I'm afraid.

My favorite song by him, thanks for posting this.

[@whatsforafters7843]

You are most welcome. Thank you for the note of appreciation.

[@nancysaucier1112]

My favorite song by him, also.

[@spacelord8499]

@@nancysaucier1112 Is his harmonica playing amazing or what, sometimes I listen to it three times it's so smooth.

[@russellcampbell9198]

My man. I found him when at uni and my love for his stuff has only grown over the years.

[@dontpanic6632]

Absolute legend

[@johnnyskehan1266]

Warren Zevon Legend. And Hiram Bullock 👍👍👍

[@edsonfcordeaca4958]

The splendid performance of Mr. Zevon...adorned by David Sanborn saxophone...great musicians!!!
What scenery would the themes of his songs be showing if he was still with us?
Covid19? World economic forum? New world order? transsexuality?

[@psychkosys]

Maybe a sports personality he took a shine to, Warren was always good for songs about contemporary celebrities.

[@beyondthepale9071]

Great wit, writer and great fn song!

[@NevadaBoss]

we're losing the greats...rip David...and forever in our ears/hearts, Mr Z. (ps..F the Hall of Shame..)

David Sanborn - R.I.P. … 2024

[@tompabreza6487]

Night Music was an exceptional live music show!! Incredible acts like Miles Davis, Sun Ra, this guy!! Nothing like it today but also current music is a sad state of affairs.

[@Nhamp2000]

I remember this show and used to watch reruns of Midnight Special (on VH1, I think), and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. Man, those were some great moments.

[@johnrudan9699]

WZ plays a very "Neil Young" sounding harmonica the holder gives it away), and on the LP it was Neil on the harmony vocals! Two rock'n'roll powerhouses! Darn shame only one of them is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

[@kevinmetcalfe7126]

Man, I was thinking that too. Very Neil like harmonica on a very Warren. Strange and beautiful.

[@chimesoffreedom9026]

Strength and muscle and jungle work.

[@Velvetnos]

I note the significant lack of saxophone at the appropriate times in this song. Do you?😊

[@MrHenryDenry]

What do you expect from Letterman 😂,🤙

[@chocolatemilk9889]

😍😍

[@randyubriacosr6580]

Such a AMERICAN TREASURE/ R.I.P.

[@NeoCynic1]

I saw him in Calgary in summer of 1977. He was drunk as a skunk and climbed up the lighting towers. Bit of a disaster.

[@brucegwynn47]

We are here to pump! You up !!

[@davidkoplitz1969]

❤

[@danweyant4909]

Guy shards that guitar solo 3:55

[@richardk6659]

Tops. Hiram Bullock.

[@Francisnotcis]

Absolutely shredded it

[@richardmontgomery2567]

who is the lead guitarist?

[@gregnewman2512]

Hiram Bullock. Was once the guitarist in David Letterman's band with Paul Shaffer. Session player for many people. From people's comments I'm just now learning he passed. RIP Warren. RIP Hiram.

[@1683clifton]

Letterman had hair that was perfect?!

[@pabloperez4063]

Turn up his voice pls

[@fletcherrhoden]

Just heard the bad news.

[@ZenChefMo]

I think he just steamrolled David sanborn. Which, that’s fine. Sanborn always did give me a rash.

[@JeffersonMartinSynfluent]

Sanborn ruined it.
