People actually paid to see Warren Zevon in concert?

I think I've lost all respect for you.

[Lester The Nightfly]

Werewolves of London was one of the worst songs ever.

If that were the only song in his catalog I might be persuaded to agree with you, but it's not and I don't.

Lawyers, Guns, and Money
Excitable Boy
Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me
Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner
Carmelita

You only hear Werewolves in London because it tests so well.

Another reason I truly hate corporate run radio.

Back in my days at LAV we had the Black Crowes come to town for the first time and I remember the tickets were only $8 - great show! Also, in our brief run of "new music" we had the Rollins Band there around '91 and that was a standout for me.

Was that the Black Crowes' show where somebody stole their big pot leaf tapestry back-drop?

Yet it's the only one I ever hear.

Phish has been a top grossing touring band for decades. I bet you've never heard any of their music, especially on the dead medium known as commercial radio. There's an entire universe that starts when you stop listening to the radio.

Warren Zevon was an excellent artist.

Especially today, there are musicians and bands that never have songs make it to radio but still manage to draw crowds (even if it's just filling small clubs) to their shows. The Grateful Dead had a very dedicated fan base that followed them around despite having only a few FM progressive rock "hits" in the late 60s/early 70s and one top 10 pop song in 1987 (which they had played live for years prior)

In 1992 the band The Four Horsemen ("Rockin' is my business, business is GOOD!) played a free show at Club Eastbrook. I think WKLQ sponsored it. Before the concert the band members did an in-store appearance at Believe in Music on 28th Street. I went and me them. They were all cool guys.

The concert was jammed-pack and was the most drunken and rowdiest audience I've ever seen. Throughout the entire show, a Club Eastbrook employee walked through the crowd and carried a 24 pack of Budweiser. He sold them for $3 a can and did a lot of business. People threw beer cans at the band for their entire set. At one point the lead singer threatened to jump into the crown and beat up the next person who threw beer at him. He called everyone "a bunch of animals who only came to the show because it was free."

Even with the unruly audience, it was still a great time.

My turn to chime in!
Warren Zevon - great. Need to check out the live Stand In the Fire album. Lawyers, Guns and Money, Sleep When I'm Dead etc.. Watching his last interview with David Letterman is pretty heavy.
The Black Crowes had their backdrop stolen from Devos Hall in 1992 for the Southern Harmony tour, and when they played there again a couple years later, something else (might have been another backdrop) was stolen.
The Crowes played Club Eastbrook/The Orbit Room in 1998 for the Sho' Nuff tour. Great show, got to meet Ed before the show. He was just hanging out in the lobby.
Man, trying to remember all the other shows I saw there. Cheap Trick, Arc Angels, Kenny Wayne Shepherd. I know there were more.....

I almost saw The Used here in 2014!
