Where there is pessimism, worry, pressure, bitterness, uncertainty … let us be filled with “hope and redemption” Truly, a beautiful song Rest in peace, Warren Zevon (1947-2003)
I love the look to the side of the stage at the end, as if to say, "Well, I pulled that off." Warren's ability to navigate between pure absurdity and pure beauty is/was astonishing and accounted for his brilliance. I want this one (this performance) played at my memorial when I pass.
Wow, this was amazing as a live performance. Normally live performances sound much worse than studio versions, but this was almost as good, shows true raw talent
Probably the only tune of Warren's I've heard where he's not "singing" it .. It's like he is just being 100% himself and talking to someone accompanied by music .. not sure how else to describe it .. Some would call that an "intimate" tune I guess ..
A friend sang this for me a few years ago, I let it slip away, until I heard a guy at a guitar store pickin it out last week. I tracked it down today. I'll be singing it from now on. The melody bears a strong resemblance to the traditional whaling song "Farewell to Tarwaithe" which is where Dylan got the melody for "the Times They are a-Changing." Folk process in action.
I'm very impressed by the pause before "alright" in the chorus. The pause means he's talking to God, in a way. Like - sometimes you have let us get stupid, so please not now - alright?
Hi Sir. I have a favor to ask; can you please upload this entire concert concert to UA-cam (if you have it). I believe that I was the first to upload this show to UA-cam many years ago, but about a month ago, I had a hard drive failure, and lost ALL of my Zevon material. I have posted MUCH Zevon content to UA-cam over the years under various screen names, including LeChuck Threepwood and Clark Ramirez. I have been able to redownload nearly everything I lost though, with the exception of this concert, and Rottweiler Blues live on the Sound FX music program. Anyway, if you can upload this full concert to UA-cam so that I can download it, that would be amazing. Thanks for your time and consideration my friend.
I'm sorry, I don't have this concert. I got this from someone else on UA-cam and edited it to get the appropriate start and stop points. I am so sorry about what happened to your hard drive. I really wish I could help out another Zevon fan, but I am at the mercy of others when it comes to videos. Best of luck in recreating your collection. - Cathy
Hi, sorry to bother you, I was wondering if you ever found the lost footage of this show? Have you tried asking people in groups on Facebook? Zevon's widow runs one called Warren Zevon's library. I may ask about it on there.
Warren was an absolute legend. I miss him, but I'm happy his music plays on for new generations.

Truly, a beautiful song
Rest in peace, Warren Zevon (1947-2003)
Beautifully said.
One of the greatest artists in our time. Rest in peace, Zevon.
He belongs in the Rock and Roll HOF!!❤
The world is grim; and beautiful at the same time. Faith= Hope.
brings me to tears every single time. thanks for the upload.
Amazing love Zevon
He wrote it like it is. He wrote songs from his heart. He is still understated in this world.
One of the best to ever do it. He’s so underrated. This should have a million views.
If there is a song for our Coronavirus times, this be it.
No shit!!!
I now end my radio show with this song since COVID
Chiney Commy caused Corona.
This song could not possibly be more relevant than it is right now in 2020.
I love the look to the side of the stage at the end, as if to say, "Well, I pulled that off." Warren's ability to navigate between pure absurdity and pure beauty is/was astonishing and accounted for his brilliance. I want this one (this performance) played at my memorial when I pass.
The lyrics are an unobtainable prayer.
In the unlikely event that anyone ever asks me to say the blessing before a meal, the chorus of this song is what I will say.
What a lovely complement to the hostess of the meal🙂
Beautiful- a song that will make you cry.
I miss you Mr. Zevon.
warren was so far ahead of his time.
Wow, this was amazing as a live performance.

No thank you big enough for you Warren. Complete COVID inspirational-comfort found here
Love how you can watch his work change through his career and find peace in certain ideology.

Oh, thanks for that! I was stumped on what it reminded me of.
Miss him!!
Thank you so much for this Gospel song
how always true is this????Warren is missed in my house
Great artist and great song 💯
Loved this, and I get your sentiments.
Amazing performance!
God damnit I wish I could have seen him live.
Both timeless and at the perfect time now❤

God doesn't exist. Don't bring that shit here
@@jasehurley4795 He brought it up, not me. But thanks for the insult.
@@jasehurley4795 u may want to change your mind.
Beautiful song 🎵 ❤
Played on The Good Wife, found it here
Well he kept on going good ole boy
There is another version of this song that is equal if not better and that would be Jackson Browne singing one of his best friends songs
It’s a Warren Zevon original. Jackson was only doing it as a tribute.
@tangoedupinbooze Yes indeed, Beautiful.
WHEN and WHERE was this performance, please .. ?
I have no idea. Someone sent it to me many years ago with no specifics. It's such a beautiful song.
Apparently recorded 1/00 (or possibly early 2/00), based on his birthday mentioned before he begins his song. @@cdburdick
Life’ll Kill Ya and The Wind are masterful farewells.
Was this when he was already sick.
No, he had not yet been diagnosed when this video was released.
I suspect he was already ill, but perhaps did not know it.
This would have been in January/early February of 2000, and he passed in September of 2003 10 months after his terminal diagnosis

@@cdburdick Thanks so much Cathy. All the best to you and yours during these trying times.

when was this recorded?
Honestly, I don't know. Sorry.
