I love his quote when David Letterman asked him on his last interview before he died if he had any advice on life and he said, "Enjoy every sandwich".

Warren Zevon was one of the most intelligent and original songwriters I've ever seen.

This song is the sound track of my life. Shit is always hitting the fan.

I got to see Warren Zevon. I can even say I knew him when he was living in Philadelphia ("Nita in the Morning" days...) I can't say I was his friend. He was a huge fan of my dog and used go out of his way in Rittenhouse Square to say hello and pat him. A few years after that he played solo at the Chestnut Cabaret, was playing this very song (on the 12 string), stopped in the middle, look me right in the face and said: "Hey... Will you get me a beer?" I did.

My dad died suddenly earlier this year. We shared a lifelong bond over music. This was the last song he ever showed me. Thank you, Warren, and thanks, dad.

Small club in Panama. Off duty army intelligence soldiers chugging beer with this tune on the jukebox back in the ancient 1970s. Glad I lived to have these memories. Thanks for adding this classic favorite to my playlist.

I want this played at my funeral, loudly.

Such a rocker! Love the segue in the lyrics from the tough loner to "...dad, get me out of this!" RIP, Warren, you have so many fans who listen to your music.

Why is Warren Zevon so ignored, underrated, even unknown? To me he is probably the most inventive, versatile and creative musicians of my lifetime - an amazing songwriter and a brilliant performer. Who knows where he would have gone had he not died so tragically young? He was incapable of producing anything that was not original. Honour to his memory.

The best never gets old. And never dies. They live on in their music.

I love this song so much. It tells such an awesome story in just 4 and a half minutes. 😁👍🏻

The completely lovable madman musician. Thank you Warren!

One of the greatest albums of all time

I play this song 3 times a week... it still stands up to all folks... love the line the shit has hit the fan.... Awesome...

Have I told this story before? Saw Warren in Austin at Club Foot with my future ex-wife in 1982. Still have the ticket stub on my law office wall. Solo show. Saw him for the second time in Austin in 1989, after future ex and I had separated. Saw him for the last time in 1993 in Austin with our son, age 8, on my shoulders. Warren came back out to do an encore. We were 10 feet from the stage, outdoors venue, Liberty Lunch. "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, can he play "Excited Boy"??!! Warren heard him, looked up from his guitar, grinned, and immediately launched into a roaring, soaring "Excitable Boy". That moment will live with me till the day I die. My son, now 30, and a big Zevon fan, won't forget it, either.

That's what I call an outright sound in a band, fellas!

Loved Warren, and his hair was perfect! 😎

While going through some legal issue in the early 80's this song really helped keep my head screwed on straight. "The sh1t has hit the fan". Ain't that the truth!

Best...Riff... Ever... This guy is so missed.

thanks dad for always being there for me no matter how far or wild i traveled

To future generations who look back and try to put our society in context, this is how to rock.

I miss this man so much! RIP Legend 🙏

For my dad, who passed away a week ago. This was his theme song

Love this zevon song... mucho mucho mucho.... I'm an expat living in mexico for a long long time...many yrs ago when an apprentice electrician...and drinking in executive martini bars...I discovered this song on the flip side of werewolves of London...skipped over and over... til the executive types went nuts...still love the song and suggested it to a great R'n'Roll Band from Guadalajara .... cheers from Mexico

Enjoy every sandwich. That was said by Warren Zevon on David Letterman show many years ago. I never forgot it.❤❤❤

I am eternally grateful for having seen him before he passed. Genius.

I'm not sure how i got here, but happy to have arrived. Classic!!!

This is dangerous....this is rock and roll

What an awesome performance... HEY!

The brilliance of Warren Zevon is beyond belief!

This was a REAL rock band.

Zevon still rocks 2023.

One of the best songs on the whole youtube channel ... 15 years Warren you left this planet THANKS

Anytime I need a pickme up I put this on , crank the volume knob and I’m good!

My mom saw Warren before he got sober and he said he was an absolute wild man of a performer, jumping off of his piano, etc. Then she and my dad saw him later on and it was amazing as well, but he had mellowed out.

I was 19 back then, he had a few great songs like this one. thanks for ride back.

can we talk about the band? Holy shit… All of them legends nobody knows them except us

Lyrics don't get better than this!

One of my favourite songs by Warren Zevon.

This the best version of the song I have ever heard

Thanks for all the songs, be at peace......

Boy, do I miss Warren. R.I.P., you genius.

Warren was a diamond in the ruff of Rock n Roll.....marvelous showman.....

We miss you Warren; nobody can ever fill your shoes.....

We do this song at our parties. I've sang lead with our band on it a few times . When I'd get to the last line where the shit hits the fan, I felt high voltage shooting up through my spine. AAAGGGHHH!

Gotta say I love this song, live your life

I LOVE THIS BAND! When SHTF this is the song I want in my head!!!

I'm glad you got to hear this awesome man! So sorry about your father, this man died of cancer as well SUCH A FAVORITE! Listened TO THIS PARTICULAR (TAPE, THEN,) IN 1978 COMING FROM COLORADO AT ROLLING STONES CONCERT, WOOHOOO! KILLER TIME! I'm now 65, still my favorite artist and times!

The best song, IMHO to perform , and also to listen to. Written I believe, in honor of Hunter S. Thompson.

This is a great performance of this brilliant song ! .. Lots of energy and attitude, but at the same time sticking closely to the melody and feel of the original recording .. Love it !

Dear Warren, somehow the shit always hits the fan

I love this song. Warren, we miss ya, buddy.

The guys in the band are having so much fun!

Sad loss.man,what a star,lyrics,songs,superb!

what a gorgeous riff.

Raspberry Beret, Werewolves of London, Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner, and my favorite My $hit is all f'd up.

What Wonderful musicians playing with Warren!

This is literally the best song I’ve ever heard love

MAJOR TALENT. ALL TIME. MISS YOU WARREN!

Awesome. A classic great 1 of a kind song. 3 of the things in life that'll get ya outa most jams -- ad in a doctor & lover nothing else needed

I miss his voice so much. (I know I made you miss that chord when I walked by. Thanks for looking. ;) Love you Warren.)

I'm so thankful that I got to see him twice at Tipitina's in New Orleans. He was great, RIP

Absolutely 💯 Great saw him Live Jannus Landing St. Petersburg Fla 2002!!! Awesome show!!! Great Memories.... miss you Warren...

DAMN - THIS IS FRIGGIN GR8!! I Love this Song - & This Version Kicks Ass!! THANKS - Made My DAY!!

saw rm in chicago. with my brother in law. bonnie raitte and steve earl. . lucky for me... never 4gottn. thank you.....

Damn! That's what I needed. This was one of my fave songs back in the day (along with others from same album). WZ and the band killed it. Sounds like the original, but with that fire of a live show. Love it. Thanks for sharing!

Never heard this until I was on BBC Radio 5 on Wednesday. Totally amazing! Ken, Toronto, Canada

One of the great regrets of my life was not seeing him in concert.

Awesome

What a huge talent...gone too soon!

I saw Warren in B’ham AL and he was fantastic. I miss him.

My favorite song writer

RIP, Wild Man! 💥🌹

I was at this show. Good to see it again.

This song should’ve been used in Better Call Saul

So incredible! None like him!

Always my favorite Zevon song. It’s been my personal theme all my life. My friends always say it is so you.

One of the best songwriters of his generation, he wasn’t that great of a live performer but he could do it, Detox Mansion!

I live in LA and got drunk with him several times that last year he started drinking again. No songs came of it, but there was poetry.

I'm jealous. Been wishing I could be so talented and have such friggin fun since 84 when I first saw this. Killing it in the clouds!

Amazing

That was a great live cut. Man, what a talented boy, lol.

If there was a youth anthem for that era, this was it. Satire at its best. RIP WZ.

Lots of energy in this performance!

GREAT SONG!!!!!

One of those moments that make me wonder, have I born too late into this world? Good stuff!

Why music is life!

Truly the best song ever! Warren was the best!

Now it's really safe to say,,,,We will never see his like again! RIP Warren.

Definitely the best version of this.

My ole crew and I always sang this in a pinch !

I got to see Zevon at the Paradise in Boston in the mid Still one of the best shows I've ever attended.

'Enjoy every sandwich " Warren Zevon

I can remember hearing this song on the radio, a live version, probably in 1978; I was still in high school. My Dad was driving the car to a swim meet in San Antonio. It struck me as being brilliant and was a pretty odd flashbulb memory to have from then, but it is a pretty cool song!

Thank God, I got to see Warren in his glory days in Louisville, Ky., werewolves still howl for him nightly!

I'm turning 50 this month. For 40 plus years I've had many "favorite songs", but this one has had a lifelong consecutive run in my all-time top ten favorites. When my Atlanta Braves won the World Series back in '95', my best friend and I were both 21 at the time. We were wearing sunglasses to hide the red-eye hangover look, and we both had 24oz cold tall boy Miller Lites in our hands, and 24inx36in poster board signs folded in our laps up in the nose bleed section on a sweltering day in Atlanta just past the halfway mark of the MLB season in July of 1995. My buddy Kyle's sign read, "Hi Mom, I lost my job. Living on oatmeal, and washing clothes in the tub. Please send $." Mine, of course, read "I was gambling in Havana. I took a little risk. Send Lawyers, Guns, and Money. Dad, get me out of this." We appeared on the jumbotron screen during the 7th inning stretch and both stood up and unfolded our signs with our smiling heads beaming above the top of our art. The coolest thing was the next day when a few mutual friends of ours said that they saw us on TV at the Applebee's bar and they just yelled like we hit a grandslam hahaha. Hot girls we knew that worked the bar said that we were the coolest. 😎 😆 🤣 😂

Highway 61 is such a great album. So many amazing songs. He was criticised for using an electric guitar. No wonder he got the Nobel. His output of no 1 singles is prodigious. Greatest song wrier of the 20th Century? Cole Poter should get a mention

He was one of a kind ,..........................................

TREMENDOUS. THE KIDS TODAY HAVE NO IDEA....

this concert was performed 2 days after my birthday...oh the nostalgia
