Zevon was one of a kind. Died too young and left behind perhaps one of the greatest songs with Keep Me In Your Heart. Just an awesome man and musician. ❤❤❤❤❤

I used to think I could sing, was told I was good, had an injury to my throat now all I can sing is warren zevon. I am content!

Judging from the timing and the biography I finished recently, this was a weird European promo tour where the record company wouldn't pay for the band to go, so Warren played with a recording. Nice that he shouted out Waddy Wachtel's solo, and I love finding live versions with his localized lyric changes.

I saw Warren Zevon on his last interview on the late show with David Letterman and you would've thought he'd be back after a short period of time only to realize there would never be a next time!! R.I.P.

Well at least he gave Waddy a shout out for playing guitar even though we didn't see him. He did co-write the thing.

Trying to learn this on piano at the moment, all respect to Warren, amazing singer songwriter, being able to play and sing like this live at the same time takes immeasurable skill

[michaelangelioliebers]

One of many 70s singers rip not forgotten

[joepintarich]

[BillyBob-ybht]

How charming I wonder was this recorded on the Late Late Show.

[EddieC]

According to an interview I saw with Warren this song is a tribute to Hunter S Thompson, I really can't see how no one gets it he said, just listen to the lyrics

...gotta say mahalo nui ("thanks a lot") for posting this absolutely Great performance... Warren (who's talents were indisputable within the circle of artists) was at one and the same time, the very epitome of the true Rock artist (in both his genius/skill), but also, a classic example of the very unsavory, outlandish, chronically-inebriated, sarcastic iconoclast that the "business-end" of the recording industry has never come to terms with.... he made Them Very uncomfortable (just one way We knew he was the real deal)...as those of Us who have been 'on the bus' for the 50 years after, as teens, We knew this was Our music, the ugly reality of an artform which Required a businessman-salesman (of what They called "The Product") to get-out-The-Word (& who were, themselves part-of the very issue the artists were singing-about/indicting) has been one essential block in the wall of what We have now made the 'music of the entire planet'.... an ever-uneasy symbiosis where people like Warren would never get the credit he so richly disturbs.... but.... Thanks for This addition to my library...

Missed opportunity for Werewolves of Dublin!

He sounds sound fucking good. I was not convinced it was going to be "live". But I suspect a backing track... He's playing for real, but you don't hear his live piano until the outro, no?

[Theearthtraveler]

Great song and I love the slide guitar!
