  In 1976, the year of the live recording of "Carmelita," Warren Zevon had recently released his self-titled debut album, *Warren Zevon*, which came out in 1976 as well. The album featured the critically acclaimed single "Werewolves of London," and showcased Zevon's distinctive blend of rock, pop, and Americana, alongside his sharp lyrics and storytelling. By this point in his career, he was beginning to gain recognition within the music industry, having previously worked as a songwriter and session musician. The performance of "Carmelita" with David Lindley highlights his ability to deliver a poignant and emotionally resonant live experience. Interestingly, this period marked the beginning of Zevon’s ascent as a solo artist, as he began to carve out a niche with his unique sound and lyrical depth, establishing himself as a significant figure in the early 1970s singer-songwriter movement.
