I just watched my taped version of the show for the third time. It goes without saying I love Warren and was so happy to see him. He was obviously weak. His singing was thin and without power but that somehow made it all the more beautiful. What a brave soul.
I am currently producing a Warren Zevon Tribute Concert in Santa Barbara California. I will post details soon, probably by next Wednesday. Warren Zevon is finally getting the respect that is long over due.
Thanks for the ping. I haven't replied to any of the posts about Warren because I had too much to say. The man has inspired and amused me for about 25 years. I decided to be quiet and read what everyone else had to say. FR has some great music lovers.
Anyway, That Late Night appearance is hopelessly stuck in my head--and refuses to go away. I gotta get myself a copy of that tape. Like I said before, I've neer seen anything like that before. I'm hoping this wasn't the last appearance he makes, although it probably is. Howard Stern mentioned he was trying to get him, but that he was "taken" from them by Letterman. He also metioned that, after seeing him on Letterman, that it may have been a good thing! But I disagree--Zevon was magnificient and courageous.
