    In 1985, the year of Warren Zevon's live performance at Rockefeller’s in Houston, he was navigating through a transitional phase in his career. His latest studio album at that time was **"The Envoy,"** released in 1982, which showcased his signature blend of rock and storytelling. However, Zevon had not released a new album since then, and his subsequent studio effort, **"Sentimental Hygiene,"** would not arrive until 1987. The mid-1980s marked a period where Zevon was more focused on live performances, gaining recognition for his engaging concerts. Interestingly, he was renowned for his wit and dark humor, which often influenced his songwriting. During the concert, he performed a mix of his own tracks, alongside his interpretation of "Start Me Up" by The Rolling Stones, highlighting his ability to blend his original material with classic rock influences. This live show solidified Zevon's presence in the music scene, as he continued to cultivate a loyal fan base.
