Absofuckinlutely NO ONE could rock like Zevon, in his early years. Then, in his middle years, he grabbed you by the soul and the cerebral cortex and MADE you THINK. In his later years, he became the Life Teacher, recounting his life, his thoughts, his feelings, and tightened his grip on your deepest self. Then....he wrote and performed "The Wind", reached inside your chest, and took your heart with him when he left. Rocker, teacher, philosopher and by-God incredible example of genius that comes to you raw and unrefined...all these things and more. Rock the Pillars of Heaven, you amazing Renegade, you! I've enjoyed my sandwich, and my ride's here. I'll be seeing you again any day now, Warren. And it's alright....
Brenda Harper U should've done his eulogy! I've always known this song (who doesn't) but I'm just now getting into exploring the rest of his music. & it's def all good so far. Should've checked it out sooner. But there are ALOT of musicians out there that don't get their rightful due in my opinion & I'm searching them all out. & it takes awhile!
Put him in the rock and roll hall of fame already. The man wrote one of the most incredible albums of all time on his deathbed. He’s incredible. Talent and dedication worthy of the hall of fame no doubt.
There was a time in Soho in London and you could randomly throw your head back and go yahooo. In seconds you could hear yahoos coming from everywhere. Wahooooooo! 😁
his band is unbeilvable i mean ,...they had to be on there toes !!! cause idt they new to for sure what was happen next !!! jezz what a great dude !!!!!
Every day I get my Zevon - on! He was so amazing! His music helps me get through everything! Pain.... sickness...stress! I listen to Warren and it goes away... thank you Warren!
Did not know much of Warren's (considerable) talents before I saw him perform in a small club in my hometown - Brisbane, Australia - in the mid to late 1980s. He move effortlessly between 4 instruments and yet his voice was the the force de jour. He left more than a favourable impression as a talented singer song writer. Sadly, gone long before his time. Thanks for the memories.
He had some of the all time greats play on his records. “Werewolves” had Mick Fleetwood and John McVie on drums and bass and Waddy Wachtel on guitar. Waddy co wrote it.. The song was produced by Jackson Browne. A classic.
Knew about Waddy but not Mick & John. No wonder that thing rocks so good! I was in HS when it broke big back in the day. Instant classic. Pep rallies you could count on some Toga! Toga! Toga! & some A-oooooohs too.
The first time I saw him was in 1980-I was tired from working all day, so I wanted to relax and enjoy the show. Bruce Cockburn put on a great show. Warren started his set and had everyone one on the stage floor standing on the folding chairs- going absolutely crazy. One great song after another. He had everyone in his palm. I've see scores of concerts, and Zevon, by far, brought the house down. RIP Warren. I Miss You
This man truly was a fuckin fantastic musician. Wow. Sadly missed. I know it's trite, but it's still true, his like will not be seen again. Thanks Warren.
You can measure the quality of a performer by their live shows. This is brilliant. I would have loved to have been in the audience that night! Thanks Warren.
If only Lon Chaney Jr. had lived a few years longer to see this song written. If he staggered out on-stage about half drunk during the song the place would go crazy.
I can remember seeing Warren Z. on the Letterman show in what must have been a difficult experiance for him because he was so very ill at the time. He passed shortly after that. His wonderful body of work will never be forgotten.
First time hearing this was watching “The colour of money “ Tom Cruse was showing off in a pool hall and I mean just thrashing all the locals to this tune and just as he pots the black HIS HAIR WAS PERFECT……ahhohhh
The band was: Warren Zevon - vocals, guitars, piano; Randy Brown - guitar, vocals; Joe Daniels - drums; Larry Larson - bass; John Wood - lead guitar, vocals.
You all need to eat at Lee How Fook in Philly Chinatown!! We have gone there for 30+ yrs!! loved Warren for 30+ yrs! Real deal Chinese Cantonese food. LEE HOW FOOK in Philadelphia. Love Warren Zevon!! Love Lee How Fook!! ask someone what lee how fook means!!!!!
NO theater rocked like the Capital Theater in Passaic, NJ! That place is the real Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. First concert I saw there was in 1972 - Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt.
The legendary Capitol Theatre. EVERYONE played this spot. Even the Stones, in the midst of their Some Girls tour in 1978 popped in for a surprise show.
It was a major venue for the NYC market. I imagine it was less costly to book an act there than in Manhattan at The Bottom Line or the Academy of Music on the east side highway.
@@chasbodaniels1744 We lived not to far away. Right near NJ Rt.3 on concert days, cars of kids would get off at our exit and ask for directions. It got to where they would pull up...we'd point and say...8 lights that way, turn left, 3 lights, and you're there.

Now THIS is what rockin' sounds like. What an absolute genius Warren was.
All the band great!
some found out about him too late;(
This guy must be the MOST UNDERRATED singer/songwriter EVER!
John Ward he was he wrote many songs for other bands that became big hits ... Such a shame.
John Ward for real man one of the greatest
I love mune 🎮 t
John Ward Yet he’s overrated among anybody who ever played an instrument.
Yes, he and Meatloaf for sure.

That was deep...
Well said !! Warren sure did all that and then some. EnJOY every sandwich is right.
Brenda, I think you described Warren Zevon well. You may have his mind and deep gifts too!
Brenda Harper he was brilliant an his music lives on RIP He had it all he was a genius an his music bought that out . on ya Rocken with Bon .;)
Rock and Roll Hall o Fame just doesnt deserve to have Zevon
Warren, ain’t holding nothing back. He gave it all. RIP, rocker.
Put him in the rock and roll hall of fame already. The man wrote one of the most incredible albums of all time on his deathbed. He’s incredible. Talent and dedication worthy of the hall of fame no doubt.
The hall of shame and they don't deserve him.
Until they put somebody smart enough to run the hall of fame
@@bobbygriz5648 what do you mean by that
@@heisenberg5371 the rock and roll hall of fame is a joke thats what I mean.
There’s a chance now!
And this particular night, his hair was Perfect!
41 years later, and Warren is still my main man.
And on that note, RIP Warren Zevon. We miss you.
Yes it is. Every time I come home and relax after a 10 hr day, crazy LIVE Warren makes me happy this shit is here for my picking.
@@cartman3119 my birthday is Feb of 1947.. I feel like Ive out lived my usefullness.
His adlibs are always fantastic.
"I saw Chuck Norris walking with the Queen, and everybody was Kung Fu Fighting"
It certainly does make THIS version even MORE fun to hear!!
This guy is next level with adlibs
Made me laugh. I wish I could be young again and make comments like that. Thanks!
Asking all Warren Zevon fans to VOTE him into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year. Thank You ❤️
He REALLY should ALREADY be in the R'n'R HOF!!
Happy birthday Warren January 24, 1947. R.I.P. We, your fans, miss you everyday..
Wow. Didn't know WZ was born on Jan 24. Same here =)
Wahooo!
Incredible Rockstar gone way to soon...this is the good stuff...
I was at this exact show .. only seen Warren once and it was one of them shows that you just never forget !!
Absolutely Amazing !!
You must be old as dirt.
Lucky guy. I'm sure it was unforgettable. ❤️ Warren Zevon
Poor poor pitiful me never was fortunate enough, God Bless
Was that a young George Thorogood on lead guitar ?
Sorry I never got to.
There was a time in Soho in London and you could randomly throw your head back and go yahooo. In seconds you could hear yahoos coming from everywhere. Wahooooooo! 😁
No more you would probably be kicked to the kerb by a swat team. Beware, yahooo.
I still do it and there’s always one who still gets it. Mind my hair is always PERFECT!
I'm 15 and I LOVEEEEEE WARREN WITH ALL MY LIFE. HE'S THE BEST EVER!!!!

Another talented musician that has departed way too soon!! RIP Warren
I was lucky enough to to see this incredible man. Still rocks me! Thanks!
I went to London last year and stood in front of the former Lee Ho Fook's........just for Warren !
The sheer power of Warren is in full flight here!!!!
I'm going to make a good statement. That is THE BEST stage performance I have ever seen. Hands down.
u better believe it !!!!
That was freaking awesome, what a showman..Love that song.
What a song & performance, never get tired of that song!
his band is unbeilvable i mean ,...they had to be on there toes !!! cause idt they new to for sure what was happen next !!! jezz what a great dude !!!!!
Just realized I saw him the night before this in Boston! He SHOULD be in the hall of fame!!
Love this song! Can listen to it over and over and over again. Warren Zevon ....the best!!!!
Fan of this?
Try 'Lawyers, guns and money'
Obviously his tune....
It'll rock your little cotton socks...
Keep him in your heart for a while.
Nice
Every day I get my Zevon - on! He was so amazing! His music helps me get through everything! Pain.... sickness...stress! I listen to Warren and it goes away... thank you Warren!
One of the BEST performances of this song!

Ahoo - Werewolves of everywhere. How does R&R get better than this?
RIP LYNDON NELSON, LOVE YOU FOREVER 😍 This was your favorite tune brother.
My daughters favourite song of all time 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧, since she was 6. She is now, 13.
You must be very proud 🖖
I’m 17 years old as of now, and holy shit, what a guy!! Love this performance, Rip Warren.
It'll sound JUST as good at 59, trust me...😁
Saw Warren in Bloomington, IN at a small theatre with about 250 others. The whole crowd was singing his songs all night long. It was a great show.
He had some of the all time greats play on his records. “Werewolves” had Mick Fleetwood and John McVie on drums and bass and Waddy Wachtel on guitar. Waddy co wrote it.. The song was produced by Jackson Browne. A classic.
what an amazing crew !
Knew about Waddy but not Mick & John. No wonder that thing rocks so good! I was in HS when it broke big back in the day. Instant classic. Pep rallies you could count on some Toga! Toga! Toga! & some A-oooooohs too.
Warren Zevon R.I.P is a wonderful genius. He is very very missed.
That's a tight band. They can deal with Warren. It's seamless.
I miss him so, especially at a full moon. Such a uniquely clever, intellectual musician
I will NEVER forgive that no talent hack kid rock for stealing the howl.
Full moon you sound interesting
Everybody was Kung Foo fightin' loved the extra lyrics. One of the funniest songs ever. Was cool to see them in concert finally.
yep ... here comes ...that dangerous man !!! lol
Agree! That Chuck Norris mention was awesome!
whether he was high or whatever he nailed every song during this concert! bad ass!!!
Ah Warren, how I still miss thee. Hollyweird, the late 70's, Warren, need I say more....
When I think of American music I think of Werewolves Of London.
he was one crazy cat..got hammered and just let it rip..Rest in Peace Brother
Amen. Hunter Thompson of music
vapormissile I like that. Perfect.
@@vapormissile good thing they were good friends, too. Hunter and Zevon were known to get fucked up together and wax philosophy
Yeah!!! That's Warren the Werewolf of London!!!❤❤❤❤
Mr. Warren Zevon was great!
What a classic from a master! Fire the soundman.
I only discovered the music of this GREAT ARTIST after he'd gone. If I'd heard him sooner I might have got to see him live! DAMN!
Still miss Warren.
@Joe Blow Brlliant !!
Still one of my favorite tunes
Just resurrected this classic....5 of us doing it on Ukuleles....great fun...specially when we do the howling bit.
Absolutely timeless.
Hope you're all still Ukalail - in Best wishes.

God I miss him. I thoroughly regret never seeing him live.
RIP Warren.
Me too. He is one of my all time favorites.
If only Lon Chaney Jr. had lived a few years longer to see this song written. If he staggered out on-stage about half drunk during the song the place would go crazy.
Why did he have to be half drunk?
@@fastguned because that was his general state of being...
My goodness he was gorgeous. What a talent. A legend. The people who matter, know he's a legend. Screw anyone who thinks different.
I can remember seeing Warren Z. on the Letterman show in what must have been a difficult experiance for him because he was so very ill at the time. He passed shortly after that. His wonderful body of work will never be forgotten.
God I love you Warren - you're a man who was true to himself! I would love to rock out with you in some distant corner of the Universe!
Seen him open for Jerry & company- amazing!!
I saw warren Zevon walking with the queen and his song was perfect
A talented man, I loved Warren's music and this is great fun, thanks for sharing. RIP Warren Zevon.
Miss you man
First time hearing this was watching “The colour of money “
Tom Cruse was showing off in a pool hall and I mean just thrashing all the locals to this tune and just as he pots the black HIS HAIR WAS PERFECT……ahhohhh
It just keeps getting better
They called music like this Rock'n Roll.
Waoooooh! is a hell of a drug.
lol
So is your moronic comment. Suck it 🖕
John Would is an absolute axe slayer, I’m surprised he’s not been seen on other artists tours..
I miss him, a classic for sure. I will always cherish his energy and what he brought to all who knew him.
I TOTALLY AGREE!!!
now thats a friggin jam
Excuse my French... What a FUCKING, AMAZINGLY, WELL PERFORMED song!!
The band was: Warren Zevon - vocals, guitars, piano; Randy Brown - guitar, vocals; Joe Daniels - drums; Larry Larson - bass; John Wood - lead guitar, vocals.
I tried looking up John Wood couldn't find much!
Thanks for the lineup, but I don’t recognize any of those guys’ names.
@@chasbodaniels1744 Nor I, lol. But I was curious and looked it up, so just thought I'd share them.
Thank you! I’ll see what I can find.
John Wood changed his mame to Would. He now primarily works as a studio musician and producer - based on the info I could find.
So glad I got to see him live many years ago in college. One fine rock n roll show.
This is classic Zevon fuck yeah
Remember to enjoy every sandwich 🥪!
I had a college professor that grew up with Warren Zevon...he said that his friend was a not only a genius a great guy& friend...small world...
And on that note, RIP Warren Zevon. We miss you.
After you hear this version there’s no going back to the studio album version
What a gloriously weird dude. To me it's no wonder that he was such a good friend of Dave Letterman's.
he was tricky enough to leave you a trail likr bread crumbs running through his songs,, my head misses his.
He was also a compadre of Hunter S. Thomson... Would love to know what both would have thought about our current orange nightmare...
@@GarySage2green4war not to forget a dearly departed drummer of led zeppelin, infectious laughter and a legend
The"werewolf"of london
"`Hit someone " David Letterman
A gloriously weird dude- love that! Not to mention TALENT ON A PSYCHEDELIC RAINBOW. Such talent will always be missed.
"I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand"...
One of The Best opening lines ever.
"Aaoooooo!
Werewolves of London!"
I
Yeah, it’s pretty difficult to top that.
What a fucking G. Underrated and deserves better.
He had some rocking killer songs!
Lead guitarist needs more credit, complete rocking it out!!!
Is it Fleetwood Mac?
Peter Wolf!
Great Artist , Great Song, Great Performance 🎭!!!!
Chuck and The Queen…. Everyone Was KungFu Fighting man Classic !!!
Man they don’t freaking make em like this anymore .. so NOT a Cliche’
Bless you Warren. We Luv Ya.
Capitol theater was my 'home' in the 60's/70's/80's till it's demise
What an amazing song I loved how he put his awkwardness out there very catchy song and love entertaining fans 💕
You all need to eat at Lee How Fook in Philly Chinatown!! We have gone there for 30+ yrs!! loved Warren for 30+ yrs!
Real deal Chinese Cantonese food. LEE HOW FOOK in Philadelphia. Love Warren Zevon!! Love Lee How Fook!! ask someone what lee how fook means!!!!!
Favorite song of all time!!! And I love a ton of songs!!!
NO theater rocked like the Capital Theater in Passaic, NJ! That place is the real Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. First concert I saw there was in 1972 - Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt.
May 1974 I saw Billy Joel open for John Sebastian. Half the crowd left after Billy Joel but my girlfriend insisted we had to stay for John Sebastian.

I was singing along with this one day and my dog barked at me when I got to the Owoooo part.
DustDevl340 should have put it on TH-cam, get a million views

This tune is AGELESS ! RIP Warren.
10/28/24 still rockin it.
No reason music can't be fun too!!❤️❤️❤️
Just lovely 😊
