Love Warren. Hard to believe
Love Warren. Hard to believe he's been gone so long. I wish I saw him when I had the chance.
Hindu Love Gods is a great recording.

Saw all 3 Dead/Zevon shows June 5,7,8 1980
Did not see this one: 6/4/78, UC Santa Barbara
Warren Zevon took the stage, chastising the crowd for being a “bunch of 60s burned out acid freaks” while he played – terribly – through a drunken stupor. Word has it that Zevon was chased off by the stage manager before coming back with Bonnie Raitt, who made him apologize to the audience for his behavior.

Drunk and booed off the stage
Drunk and booed off the stage at the Santa Barbara GD show
The Grateful Dead would seem to be appropriate conspirators for Warren’s peculiar brand of mischief. They covered “Werewolves” shortly after its release and had Zevon open for them at UC Santa Barbara for one of Bill Graham’s many multi-artist bills featuring the Dead. There are some nice photos that survive of that day (one with Phil Lesh smiling over Zevon’s shoulder) of Warren decked out in a sweater and collared shirt sitting at the piano. But his appearance hardly went over well. On the surviving audience recording, it’s clear that Zevon was once again very drunk. He is goading the sound crew and crowd from the get go. He gives the audience a big “AH OOO!” even though he doesn’t play the corresponding song until the end of the show. During his band introductions, he goads the crowd with “I guess you applaud louder when you peak.” Before finally playing “Werewolves,” Zevon jokes to the crowd that even though they are “fucking acid casualties” and “vegetables,” they can still sing along. He goes on to introduce Bonnie Raitt as a guest vocalist, even though the audience “doesn’t deserve her.” As he often did, he pointed out his road manager, George Gruel, and told the crowd that he see that all drugs were “properly disposed of.”

Zevon went to my high-school.
Zevon went to my high-school in Fresno(as did Blaise). A few yrs ahead of me, and we did not know of him back then.

I was a fan from the first time I heard his songs. I wasn't familiar with the incident at the GD show in Santa Barbara but upon reading about it here, I like him even more.
