In February 1994, Warren Zevon was on his solo tour, showcasing his talents in Syracuse, NY, at the Symphony Hall. Prior to this performance, he had released the album "Sentimental Hygiene" in 1987 and followed it with "Transverse City" in 1990. By 1994, Zevon was in a period marked by a resurgence in his career, joining the ranks of artists gaining renewed attention in the alternative rock scene. This live recording features his signature blend of dark humor and poignant storytelling, which had become hallmarks of his writing. Notably, Zevon's collaboration with longtime friend and guitarist Duncan Aldrich during this performance exemplifies his ability to create a compelling atmosphere even in a solo setting. Additionally, this era was pivotal as it predated his later acclaim, particularly in light of his battle with cancer and the emotional depth it brought to his later work.
