Naw the R&R hall could in no way fit this man in to it's paltry hall. Warren Zevon was on another level. It would demean him to suggest he had only obtained "POP" status!
You arent kidding I asked a supposed dead head she didnt know lol...I asked a guy who was latr 50s and he didnt know. But when ppl do find him wow game over.
No one could afford that band today if they were still all alive. Omar Hakim on drums. David Sanborn on sax. Don Alias on percussion. Hiram Bullock on guitar. That's a scary bunch!
I miss the days when a plethora of shows like this competed with each other to bring out amazing musical geniuses who very often turned out to have very little common sense and not great survival skills. You Tube has opened the door to a past that many of us almost forgot existed. They were truly better and more innocent times. My humbleThanks.
My dad loved warren zevon he passed away last year we used keep me in your heart as the tribute but growing up this album would play every Saturday morning Rest in Paradise
@@MisterMikeTexas That was before the infamous "wardrobe malfunction." Besides, the radio stations bleep stuff so as not to offend the advertisers, and they bleep a great deal more than the FCC cares about.
absolutely right - and by David Sanborn no less. always enjoy that Sanborn can lead a group or a tune, or step back and just be happy being a supporting player in a band ...
His songs have an emotional urgency with a driving rhythm. Recognizable style that is still valid and valuable to this day. One of the best songwriters.
As everybody says ...under-rated songwriter. But don't forget his voice! So strong, unique and distinctive.....oh, and of course, his sense of humour. I was lucky to see him at a dive in Adelaide, South Australia. No band. Just him with Guitar and Piano. Fantastic.
Agree totally. I was unfortunate enough to get into him and John after they both passed away. If you want a killer cover version of this check out Widespread Panic Nola 2000.
Awesome comment mentioning the people I miss hearing their music the most. Now that I am retired I have the time to listen, remember and still learn from these exceptional musicians
The Sax makes things really pop for this song. Thanks for posting. What a backup band. Omar Hakim, Don Alias, Tom Barney, Sanborn, Hiram Bullock... I also noticed Phillipe Saisse on the keys. Wow. Full strength.
Jesus Christ this man deserves more praise and kudos from the music world. True genius but hilariously funny too. Read his wife’s book. You won’t be sorry. Sublime Master. RIP
This is what I came back to after the sad news of David Sanborn's passing. I am already a Zevon fanatic, but David's sax brings a sexier edge to this song, as if it wasn't already sexy in a rocking way. Rest in Peace to two talents. May they perform an encore of this in Heaven.
Yep, as soon as I heard about David's passing, I remembered that Warren ( one of my favourite artists ever ) had done some cool live appearances on his show .. Like you, I went straight to this video .. What a terrific version .. RIP to both these great artists
He did a show at the train station in South Boston, and I heard about it but was a stupid kid at the time and I didn’t appreciate like I do now. It’s on TH-cam and I appreciate now
My first memory of WZ was when he came to Australia in 1978 to promote " Werewolves of London" and then about 10 years later WZ brought out "Splendid Isolation " . Years later I would wear out two Best of WZ songs CD . A great singer / songwriter
What a surprise to see this: Omar Hakim on drums and Bernard Edwards on bass!? Warren Zevon with the Chic rhythm section; most talented people of the planet together!! Have fun somewhere in heaven Warren and Bernard.
One of my best friends and I loved this song as one of our favorites. He’s been gone now for almost 4 years and I miss him dearly. He lived mostly in Arizona and me in Ohio but whenever this song came on on the radio we would call each other and BLAST it no matter what time day or night! God I miss that special bond! RIP Johnny!
Saw Warren in concert more than I saw any other artist. Saw him with full bands and solo. Always entertaining. Great songwriter. And, gotta say, what a tight band.
Brilliant. There's not much else to say. A life lead fully and at the end well thought of. See a doctor if you're feeling bad. It's not a sign of weakness.
@@antiv +1. My ear caught the drummer in the "Television" mix too; nicely done. .. It was through the 1970s when TV broadcasters took notice of audio,, equipping NBC 30 Rock with Neve consoles and the like. .. RIP W. Zevon.
My uncle was a DJ on a college rock show and I tagged along, he played this from his own collection, was a fan ever since-1978 around-had every album and saw him live on the Detox tour in Chicago
Had to stop by and revisit this, we all never knew that the the Masterpiece that is "Lawyers, Guns and Money" could be improved, but David Sanborn's Sax takes it to another level. May they both Rest Peacefully.
I only heard of Warren Zevon when Werewolves Of London was regular play on radio, I went and picked up the album, finding so much more. I've been a fan since. I didn't know that he was ill until Letterman. He seemed to have been such a down to earth and humble man. A true American artist.
Some of the absolute cream of the 1980s New York City session scene right here: Dave Sanborn, Omar Hakim, Philippe Saisse, Tom Barney, Hiram Bullock, Don Alias. So poignant to see all those old friends and colleagues together. RIP Dave, Hiram, Don, and of course Warren... absolutely magical time to be making music in New York.
Seemed like every song back in the 70s and 80s had a sax player. Wonder what ever happened to all those guys? Once the 90s hit, it was only guitars and sometimes a piano. Too bad
I managed to spend some time with Warren in Hilton Head Island. He was kind, funny and scary. Needless to say I owe him a great debt. His music never failed to guide me to somewhere eerily wonderful.
"I went home with a waitress, the way I always do." My all time, number one favorite line in rock and roll. When I was a young man I had a thing for women in uniforms of any sort.
Warren Zevon was such a interesting, talented, monster of rock. He needs to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I'm shocked that he isn't already in it. Somewhere, in the afterlife, there's a band needing an old time ivory tickler with a wicked sense for twisted storytelling.... Loved his final album, the Wind. Keep Me In Your Heart is one of a group of songs that I want played during my wake. Miss him a bunch.
i was wandering around austin texas in the early 80s trying to figure out who i was when i first heard this song......some how it helped me to get my bearings.....still have three cassettes of warren.....always loved his tunes and he seemed like a totally nice guy.....sanborn could wail also
My 1st Show was the 15 Year 'Anniversary' of Grateful Dead in a two day Split bill w/Warren Zevon. A centerfold in Rolling Stone shortly after my 10th Grade & from MD to Boulder,CO About 5 years later I'd bop back & forth & said to Warren post the Bayou Show that irony of Directions to see Him yet again & again before but just FOR that reason FOR those previous few hours . I think it made sense to him as well.👍🥀🎼🐄💨
I miss Warren Zevon. Many years ago he played in St Petersburg, Fl , downtown Detroit Hotel , standing room only . I found I was next to his piano getting pushed here and there by the packed room. ( Can’t believe the Fire Marshal didn’t bust the place. ) Warren had a drink and a cigarette in his hand his entire performance, but oh what a performance! So talented!
I went to see him perform in Boston twice. Once a great performance but the other time he was too drunk to perform. I felt so bad for this tremendous artist.

Mr Zevon should be inducted into the rock hall of fame for this song alone....make it so.
like Little Feat Warren is too niche for the R&R hall. But ultimately deserving.
@@jackmalvern2394but some how they got room for c rap
@@jfs7327
Yeah. 🙄
he is the very essence of rock and roll
Naw the R&R hall could in no way fit this man in to it's paltry hall. Warren Zevon was on another level. It would demean him to suggest he had only obtained "POP" status!
David Sanborn's hair was.......perfect.
Great comment.
DuP!
Perfectly scary........😨
unfrozen caveman lawyer!
@@HLS6935 “Folks, I’m just a caveman. Your witty lyrics and engaging chord progressions frighten this excitable boy...”
Warren was one of those musicians you either got or you didn’t…I definitely got him, great songwriter 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
When you had bucks like Tyson in s_ght
Trus dat
How could you not get him? Interesting and poignant lyrics, with real catchy tunes to boot!
Arguably one of America's most overlooked songwriters....he was just an excitable boy. Love you, man.
You arent kidding I asked a supposed dead head she didnt know lol...I asked a guy who was latr 50s and he didnt know. But when ppl do find him wow game over.
He was Canadian but he was amazing!
Perhaps the best opening lyric of any song.....
glad to know people are still paying tribute to this awesome artist !
No argument here
I saw a saxophone player and his hair was perfect
🤣🤣🤣
LOL
But it wasn't Dave's. OMG! 😱
At Trader Vics?
No one could afford that band today if they were still all alive. Omar Hakim on drums. David Sanborn on sax. Don Alias on percussion. Hiram Bullock on guitar. That's a scary bunch!
amazing musicians!
Straight facts
Steve Martin's Dad on percussion.
who's on Bass? That's a DOPE tone.
👏👏👏

It's been almost 20 years since his passing. Wow. Hasten down the wind, Warren.
Yes and 20 years closer to our own.
I too just realized this the other day. I truly couldn't believe it's been that long.
💐
His last record was perfect!
@@imaseeker100I don’t haste to say you’re right
"Send lawyers, guns and money" - could there ever be a better line - "the shit has hit the fan". You've got to be on his side
I'm surprised they didn't bleep it out for TV.
@@MisterMikeTexas That was before the infamous "wardrobe malfunction." Besides, the radio stations bleep stuff so as not to offend the advertisers, and they bleep a great deal more than the FCC cares about.
" how was I to know...she was with the Russians too'
And, " Dad, Get me out of this!"
Of course we're on his side, he's a innocent bystander.
I never knew I wanted to hear Lawyers, Guns and Money with a wild sax accompaniment but hell, it was damn good.
absolutely right - and by David Sanborn no less. always enjoy that Sanborn can lead a group or a tune, or step back and just be happy being a supporting player in a band ...
Warren’s last interview with Letterman was haunting
I looked up the original after I heard this and was like …oh no where is the sax?! Hahah
There is a clip from another episode of this show: Sonny Rollins wailing to Who By Fire by Leonard Cohen. Mind blowing
@@Scottlp2 Thanks!
He belongs in the R&R HOF. Period!
No pucking shit !!!! But it's a little late ,his ride done left but we know
My only familiarity with Warren Zevon is the Exciteble Boy album. But wow what an excellent record !!
His songs have an emotional urgency with a driving rhythm. Recognizable style that is still valid and valuable to this day. One of the best songwriters.
Absolutely. I feel most with Warren when my anxiety disorder flared up - body tightness, extreme irritabilit. Makes sense bc he had severe OCD
As everybody says ...under-rated songwriter. But don't forget his voice! So strong, unique and distinctive.....oh, and of course, his sense of humour. I was lucky to see him at a dive in Adelaide, South Australia. No band. Just him with Guitar and Piano. Fantastic.
Omar on drums, everyone in pocket. Grateful to be able to listen here, since we couldn’t be there.
Don Alias on the Percussion too!
Up there with Tom Waits, and John Prine in the rarified air of amazing singer songwriters.
Agree totally. I was unfortunate enough to get into him and John after they both passed away. If you want a killer cover version of this check out Widespread Panic Nola 2000.
John Prine is so far ahead of the other ones, he’s not even in the same galaxy
Awesome comment mentioning the people I miss hearing their music the most. Now that I am retired I have the time to listen, remember and still learn from these exceptional musicians
Such an incredible song and performance. I miss Warren so much. RIP.
What a jam! House band? Everyone on the stage were amazing.
The Sax makes things really pop for this song. Thanks for posting.
What a backup band. Omar Hakim, Don Alias, Tom Barney, Sanborn, Hiram Bullock... I also noticed Phillipe Saisse on the keys. Wow. Full strength.
Agreed, what an all star band! Who is that other guitarist? Don’t recognize him
Sorry, but I thought the sax was stepping on his vocals now and then.
@@loondoo probably from his touring band.
Wants to sing the Hell up then.

yes sir ! and you can tell ....he dont feel good here ...
you can tell ...he dont feel well here .! he was 1 of the gud 1s !!!!!

Hell with resting, hope these cats are jamming in peace and groovin.
What has happened to music lately? This stuff blows away 90% today’s music, and I’m not saying that because I’m old…..
Never, ever, ever heard this song with the big sax until I somehow ran across this version. And I must say, it works.
f+ck me, this is even better than the studio version, and that's a big statement! that percussion and sax just ROCKKKK...
Zevon was a genius, 99.9% of people just only realised it after he left us (me included)
He did a show at the train station in South Boston, and I heard about it but was a stupid kid at the time and I didn’t appreciate like I do now. It’s on TH-cam and I appreciate now
Sadly, me as well.

A clever wit and songwriter. Genius? No.
This is one badass song. If it don't get your feet moving,,,,, check your pulse.
Anthony Bourdain on congas, and Puff Daddy on bass. 480p forever.
Absolutely brilliant talented man !!!!!!! In my opinion was very very underrated.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great song - it’s one of those songs that was an instant classic for me - it found me. Excitable Boy is a Tremendous album
Warren in ways (brilliant of course) was a little ahead of his time.The World misses him God.
I'm a stage manager from So Cal. Worked with him numerous times. Horrible to work with. Promoters hated him. Bummer. Liked some of his music.
What a surprise to see this: Omar Hakim on drums and Bernard Edwards on bass!? Warren Zevon with the Chic rhythm section; most talented people of the planet together!! Have fun somewhere in heaven Warren and Bernard.
Peter, that's Tom Barney on bass
Thanks! I was hoping someone would post, I really wanted to know who those guys were
I thought that was Omar; thanks. And you got Hiram Bullock on guitar. Would have paid good money to see these guys play a set together.
Yes! Was gonna mention Hiriam Bullock (RIP) on the guitars! Whet a band!
@@LucasPenido +1. Yes, Hiram Bullock, RIP !

See a doctor if you're feeling bad. It's not a sign of weakness.
he had cleaned his act up and was exercising and one time playing a show he lost his breath and went to the doctor just 20 years too late.
Saved me.

Genius. Pure Genius. Warren had Neil Young play lead guitar on “Sentimental Hygiene.” Left us waaay too soon.
Loved your music for over 40 years Warren. RIP

Always an instant emotional and physical engagement with this guys music, instant!
When music was music made by musicians without quantization. Thank You Warren!
dude i don't even know what quantization is and don't care to find out but i agree music should be made by musicians
And groovin was groovin! 😉
great tune our national anthem could be called lawyers guns and money anymore lol
Had to stop by and revisit this, we all never knew that the the Masterpiece that is "Lawyers, Guns and Money" could be improved, but David Sanborn's Sax takes it to another level. May they both Rest Peacefully.
I didn’t care for the sax in this live version
Whoever these people are they are all perfect. I enjoyed that immensely.
the drummer was having so much fun
I live by what Warren said to Letterman. Enjoy every sandwich.

It's best with Zevon to enjoy the music but not delve too deeply into the man behind it.
I loved werewolves of London the 1st time I heard it

There's no problem in the world that can't be solved by lawyers, guns and/or money. Think about it. You know Zevon was right.
Man I really miss Warren.
Warren said "when your Doctor says you may need to sit down for this you know youre fucked"
RIP David Sanborn, 5/13/24... you made great music, contributed to many other classic groups, and you made sure people could enjoy it!

Wow, I'd never seen this version before. It's fantastic.
Makes me glad to see a whole band enjoying themselves. Even David Sanborn was smiling in Awe at the late great Warren Zevon.
