2000s - #6: On January 25, 2000, Warren Zevon released his 10th studio album, entitled Life'll Kill Ya. The disc barely cracked the Billboard 200 rankings, peaking at #173, while critical success was moderate, with Rolling Stone and Allmusic both giving the album 3.5 star ratings. Several of the album's songs deal with the topic of death. For example, My Shit's F***ed Up is a mournful lament about the aging process and the inevitable decay that accompanies it. The title track and Don't Let Us Get Sick also feature death as a theme. Perhaps Warren had a premonition of what was in store - just 2 years later he was diagnosed with mesothelioma, and he passed away from the disease on September 7, 2003. This soundboard (or excellent audience) recording captures Zevon on tour in support of the album in South Shields, on May 29, 2000, a quarter century ago today.
