Apologies for the slight hum in the signal. This was always present in the recording/broadcast, I'm afraid.

David Sanborn's hair was.......perfect.
-
Mr Zevon should be inducted into the rock hall of fame for this song alone....make it so.
-
Arguably one of America's most overlooked songwriters....he was just an excitable boy. Love you, man.
-
Warren was one of those musicians you either got or you didn’t…I definitely got him, great songwriter 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
-
I saw a saxophone player and his hair was perfect
-
It's been almost 20 years since his passing. Wow. Hasten down the wind, Warren.
-
This is what I came back to after the sad news of David Sanborn's passing. I am already a Zevon fanatic, but David's sax brings a sexier edge to this song, as if it wasn't already sexy in a rocking way. Rest in Peace to two talents. May they perform an encore of this in Heaven.

I never knew I wanted to hear Lawyers, Guns and Money with a wild sax accompaniment but hell, it was damn good.
-
"Send lawyers, guns and money" - could there ever be a better line - "the shit has hit the fan". You've got to be on his side
-
Had to stop by and revisit this, we all never knew that the the Masterpiece that is "Lawyers, Guns and Money" could be improved, but David Sanborn's Sax takes it to another level. May they both Rest Peacefully.

No one could afford that band today if they were still all alive. Omar Hakim on drums. David Sanborn on sax. Don Alias on percussion. Hiram Bullock on guitar. That's a scary bunch!
-
As everybody says ...under-rated songwriter. But don't forget his voice! So strong, unique and distinctive.....oh, and of course, his sense of humour. I was lucky to see him at a dive in Adelaide, South Australia. No band. Just him with Guitar and Piano. Fantastic.

I miss the days when a plethora of shows like this competed with each other to bring out amazing musical geniuses who very often turned out to have very little common sense and not great survival skills. You Tube has opened the door to a past that many of us almost forgot existed. They were truly better and more innocent times. My humbleThanks.
-
His songs have an emotional urgency with a driving rhythm. Recognizable style that is still valid and valuable to this day. One of the best songwriters.
-
The Sax makes things really pop for this song. Thanks for posting. What a backup band. Omar Hakim, Don Alias, Tom Barney, Sanborn, Hiram Bullock... I also noticed Phillipe Saisse on the keys. Wow. Full strength.
-
Up there with Tom Waits, and John Prine in the rarified air of amazing singer songwriters.
-
Such an incredible song and performance. I miss Warren so much. RIP.
-
He belongs in the R&R HOF. Period!
-
Omar on drums, everyone in pocket. Grateful to be able to listen here, since we couldn’t be there.

RIP David Sanborn, 5/13/24... you made great music, contributed to many other classic groups, and you made sure people could enjoy it!
