Saw this on the day. Liked Zevon well enough but mostly knew him thru R.E.M. and his Hindu Love Gods project with the band. Im not much of an outwardly expressive person emotionally, but his performance that night especially “Mutineer” absolutely wrecked me and I was crying my eyes out harder than I maybe ever have. Over a person I never met. And was only sort of a fan of. The whole night felt personal in a way that gave it universality and I really think you felt Dave giving his friend a soapbox to make a valiant last stand on. Still get a lump thinking about it.
