Warren Zevon (solo/acoustic)
Rockefeller's
Houston, TX
May 23, 1985 (early show)
Soundboard recording
Another great torrent from Mexminute/TheCommish
(from the Mexminute archives)
**mp3 samples provided (as always) in the Comments section**
A must-have show by the late Warren Zevon (Jan. 24, 1947-Sept. 7, 2003).
It's hard to believe it's been 5 years already.
Note: Unlike many Warren Zevon recordings, this particular show CANNOT be found (yet, at least) in the Live Music Archive at www.archive.org. However, the archive does have a nice-looking June 18, 1986 Zevon show from Rockefeller's, found here:

Editing notes:
* Re-tracked entire show by combing with Nero's wave editor and then re-splitting with CD Wave
* Deleted 19 seconds of audience applause at beginning of Track 101 and faded in with Nero's wave editor
* Deleted about 5 seconds at end of Track 107; faded out applause with Nero
* Removed small glitch at 6:15 mark of Track 205
* Made numerous volume adjustments using Nero's wave editor (see notes below) in order to balance-out the overall volume of the show. Unfortunately, the original recording had some pronounced volume fluctuations: some spots were REALLY loud whereas other parts/tracks were difficult to hear. Conservatively, I spent a couple hours trying to adjust the volume so that the show would play more evenly. I tried to avoid having the show exceed peak volume as best I could, but some spots on the original recording were a bit "hot" and I tried to blend everything together as best as I could. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the end result.
