Warren Zevon

In October 1982, during the performance at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey, Warren Zevon was riding the wave of renewed popularity following the release of his album "The Envoy," which came out earlier that year. This album showcased his signature blend of rock and storytelling, though it didn’t achieve commercial success like some of his earlier works. Interestingly, the performance features "Werewolves of London," one of Zevon’s most iconic songs, originally released in 1978 on his album "Warren Zevon." By this point in his career, Zevon was renowned for his sharp wit and darkly humorous lyrics, cementing his place in the rock landscape. The live recording captures his engaging stage presence and offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in his career, reflecting his sustained influence despite fluctuating commercial fortunes.
