What are the best/recommended "field recordings" from this tour/era?

Thanks,
JB

Recordings for many of these shows exist. The best one that I have
heard is the Seattle one although acceptable recordings also exist for
the Petaluma show and also San Francisco.

I was at two of those (Vegas and Vancouver) and Warren and his cohorts were
great, everything you could hope for. I particularly recall Matt Cartsonis
playing yin to Warren's yang (or vice versa, I always mix those two up).

I think if you want to get technical about it, Warren's last full band show was
Oct 30, 2002. He was backed up by the CBS Orchestra, Paul Shaffer conducting,
and a string section.

Well, perhaps that was technically more of an appearance than a show.
There's nothing like the experience of heading home with about 15 or 20
just-performed Zevon songs jangling around in your head. Fortunately for us,
because of technology, we don't have to rely on just our memories to relive
those experiences.

Agreed. But I just knew some smartass was going to bring up the last Letterman
appearance, and I wanted that smartass to be me. (...and told me it was
him....)

Speaking of which, I noticed in the BB a while back they were discussing the
always-intriguing interpretation of "Someone should have stopped the fight
and told me. It was him."

I've revealed my interpretation by the punctuation.

Okay--I'm in the mood. I have the above concerts and I'm offering. The
Seattle is better quality, but the Fillmore isn't bad, either. I also have a
really nice Leonard Cohen (thank you B!) from 5-21-93, Zurich, (2 cds).

As always, it would be nice if somebody would/could reoffer...but I won't
leave the unable or unwilling out of this offer. Trades are welcome, too ;-)

I'll do up to 9 concerts--I can do more Zevons if nobody picks the Cohen,
but you are missing a good concert.
