Warren Zevon & T Bone Burnett - Lawyers Guns & Money - Live at McCabe's

[@masterofthetelecast]

I went home with the waitress, the way I always do - one of the secret dreams of every lonesome guy sittin!` in the coffeeshop down the street, right? There`s only one person, who makes a song about it, right? The one and only and unforgotten W.Z. Thanks for posting.

[@robertschultz9264]

Who in their right mind could give that a thumbs down? That is AWESOME on a 12 string. Warren, we miss you terribly.

[@JeffreyOConnell-g4x]

I was there that night. The room held only a few dozen people, tops. No more than one or two of those artists were on the bill - I forget which - but they all started coming down, one after the other, to play short sets in various combinations. It's a cliche, but seeing that many artists of that stature in that setting was one in a million.

[@NWLarry-ui5lw]

That must have been great! I saw a bunch of great shows there, and took guitar lessons there upstairs as well. I miss McCabes! I wish they would release more videos of the whole show from that night! Oh well at least there are these two!

[@Fremulshmat]

A truly classic song....just three chords and a whole lotta truth....

[@AlbertoVO5]

Three chord wonders are the heart of rock n roll

[@scottt5484]

Isn’t that a classic Springsteen line?

[@waltertaylor5395]

As a veteran I have been there when the shit hit the fan. Warrem Zevon turned the shit into one of my favorite songs.

[@robinblackmoor8732]

Warron Zevon, is quite possibly the best song writer that their ever will be.

[@paulhenry5060]

Wouldn’t argue with that. Political guy as well.

[@nailzsf7000]

This has always been one of my favorite Warren tunes. This is such a great version. "The shit has hit the fan"

[@sagecreekwitt3301]

He's missed by myself and others who feel his music in our souls. Rip

[@dakinikiss]

with you man. WZ was brilliant

[@vikalawa5301]

I discovered him a year ago what a gem 💎

[@chuckbouscaren3898]

Wow! Would I love to have been there that night. I really miss Warren Zevon!

[@georgecav]

What a unique songwriter with such bent twists and turns in his songs. Kept in my heart for more than a while....

[@mfwolfer]

This is great stuff. Zevon was a true artist. Every live performance he did was unique. His last appearance on Letterman really got to me. Dave had a true love and respect for great musicians and Warren was surely at the top of his list.

[@sgt.thundercok4704]

Well stated.

[@liammcooper]

warren zevon and elvis costello, what a night

[@SidewaysSurfDrinksHQ]

Epic song, epic version by an epic songwriter/musician. And look how happy T Bone is playing it…

[@ChrisBmufc]

Sit back and enjoy one of the true greats just unleash it without a problem. Just superb

[@robdondorf9570]

Nice! Never heard it played on a twelve string acoustic before. A real classic! Zevon was truly an original artist. His music will live forever.

[@imanenigma3348]

Love this song and performance. RIP Mr Zevon and thanks for sharing your talent. You are not forgotten by this sixty year old Aussie! Perhaps I'm just an excitable boy!😉

[@bisleyblackhawk1288]

Hell I’m 71 and I’m still rocking out to his music 🤘🤘🤘

[@Pthommie]

What strikes me is how good a guitarist Warren is & also the amazing overtones created by two guitarists playing in-tune & simultaneously & how this went on to influence T-Bone's productions of future recordings, like Neil Young's 'Le Noise.'

[@GusMozart1]

Daniel Lanois produced "Le Noise". T-Bone has never produced a Neil Young record.

[@kevinforde2555]

Had a few drinks with him in Setgis Spain in 1975/76 in the Dubliners bar. Happy days

[@isteve2464]

You can really see the Hunter S. Thompson influence in this song. My favorite Warren Zevon story is him as a 13 year old knocking on Igor Stravinsky's door to request a music lesson.

[@realfarthead]

What? Zevon was his own man and I guarantee Thompson never entered his mind while writing this song

[@stevenvarga4157]

Hunter s Thompson educate me

[@kb9788]

Gatsby called it correct. Zevon was unique in all the world. They broke bread together many years later, but this is Zevon 100 percent.

[@noahsnyder]

That's a very happy Warren. Thanks for uploading. This one's a gem.

[@larrytwerion6277]

no way I am smart enough to decide on the best of his songs, any one of a hundred of them told a thousand tales of my life rip John you are missed aww crap you made me look at things that I didnt wanna

[@JohannesLabusch]

There's a lot of "best" songwriters, but along with John Prine, Randy Newman and Loudon Wainwright III, Zevon is certainly one of the funniest.

[@wholeftthevaultdooropen8852]

Lyrics that speak of many lives such as my own. Call it back door relevance perhaps. We do this song at our fund raising concerts every year. RIP Zevon!!

[@Taosravenfan]

This is fricking great.

[@GusMozart1]

Thanks for posting this Wayne!

[@waynecameron4411]

Two of the greatest of the great, right there!!!

[@7777srd]

Zevon was a great guitarist. such a complete musician.

[@bisleyblackhawk1288]

Best version of this song ever 🤘👍🤘👍🤘👍🤘

[@miless544]

What a wonderful version!

[@waltertaylor5395]

Same here Ever noticed that when it hits the fan it sprays sll over the lower ranks first?

[@garyluchansky2674]

Definitely one of my all time favorite songs! ❤

[@SoCali_Surfer]

It's hard to say which Warren song is my favorite, as his lyrics are funny, sick & smart...just how I like it! This may be the one!

[@justinbusby1860]

What an amazing combination of talent.

[@russellroach1219]

Absolutely my favorite version of that song.

[@kinseymilkbone]

God, I wish I could have been there.

[@lbshore]

Sorry I missed that show!

[@marcellino1956]

I played it completely different.....now i see the right way

[@chasbodaniels1744]

[@krisscanlon4051]

2 very talented band leaders who know more about Dylan than Bob even knew lol just perfection from these two LA musos

[@2508wolfman]

EPIC! T Bone looks like Neil Finn

[@ryanroark2818]

I never knew my hero hung out with my fellow FW 80s hairdo…but a real treat.

[@bpbatlaw]

Fantastic (because Awesome was already used!) Thanks so much for posting. I should have been paying more attention lo those many years ago, though it was undoubtedly invitation only!

[@fractuss]

Sadly never got to see Warren but did get to see T-bone live.

[@djf71104]

Thanks!!! Miss Warren!!

[@Michael-ep1ll]

This was the song my wife of 60 years used as our code for when I got into serious situations , and she preferred guns was an expert shooter, knew lawyers and and made. Great money. Damn I miss her thanks for the link ♾️🪖

[@normancrew2739]

I wish I had been there

[@flyingpaperwings]

Thank you Wayne!

[@goodvibes0101]

Legend stuff👏

[@paulhubrich3655]

Miss you Warren. R.I.P.

[@Mike-ry4ti]

Great song

[@AcesMacRae]

John Doe, playing an X classic, written by Dave Alvin, while he plays a Thin line Tele... It doesn't get much better than that. 💯❤️🇱🇷

[@michaelmcknight8419]

The shit has hit the fan…

[@spitfire155k2]

Man do I miss Warren!

[@hazwalk]

[@patrickmurphy7719]

[@goodun2974]

Please post more from this show ---- would love to see some Lindley performances. David is reportedly quite ill and not able to gig.

[@robinlebarre4567]

WOW

[@kittenfuud]

SO SO good.

[@bobrichardson5905]

I like it better starting with D..but always a great tune in any key

[@jimincairns]

There used to be an even better clip of Warren playing a black 12-string but it seems to have disappeared.

[@nathanprince5920]

epic

[@AlbertoVO5]

Warren “song noir” Zevon

[@dylanizer100]

TBB looks like CH´s Neil Finn;)

[@avavincent9481]

In an interview after he'd been diagnosed with lung(?) cancer, he was asked if he'd stopped smoking, typically he said why stop now? He had a point 😅

[@mychaelobowen509]
