My cassette of this has been so badly warped for such a long time from playing whilst driving full throttle, that I have been looking for a replacement, another copy, a cd - whatever for so long. And you are right, Christopher, there is no energy recorded quite like this. Stands with Animals/Bodies by the Pistols for sheer verve. It's only too bad there wasn't a solo/acoustic version of Carmelita - but that would hav been too much. May he rest in a peace he could appreciate. 584891@blogcritics.org Wed, 2 May 2007 01:08:05 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/04/30/094140.php#comment-584525 Thanks Charlene. I didn't really get into his music until the late 90s and I regret not getting sooner. I also agree he definitely belongs in the HoF. 584525@blogcritics.org Mon, 30 Apr 2007 22:28:34 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/04/30/094140.php#comment-584368 Couldn't agree with this review more. I first saw Zevon live in 1980; last, in 2000. Twenty years of great live music. "Stand in the Fire" really underscores the question: Why is Warren Zevon not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? 584368@blogcritics.org Mon, 30 Apr 2007 11:11:14 EDT
