Mr. Warren Zevon, Tavastia 10.9.1992

Our long time favourite, this keen fan of boxer Henry "Boom Boom" Mancini. The gear set on the stage of Tavastia was oddly light, comprising only of a large keyboard and guitar gear. Hey, where's his band with Waddy Wachtel and the guest appearances of Neil Young in harmonica and the others? Not this time - he stormed the audience all by himself with his Ovation 12-string electroacoustic.

This was the first gig of his solo tour to be recorded on his "Learning to Flinch" album. I'm still curious why there weren't any songs from Helsinki gig, since the sounds and the reception of the audience were brilliant. So many highlights, to mention likes of "Boom Boom Mancini", "Lawyers, Guns and Money" and, of course, the Norway's greatest son Roland. And that "Awhooo!" song!

This gentleman thanked the audience by sitting and talking with us after the gig. I offered my pick to him, ahaa, he picked his pockets, but couldn't find any. He looked around, hey, he yelled and stood up to grab one of those taped to the mike stand. And a very polite thanks. So cool he was, as you know (R.I.P.).
