Lawyers, Guns & Money

Post by Catch&Release »

Found Jimmy's version of this song on Limewire.

All I can say is wow! Awesome version. I think it's from the Belly Up show in 2005, guessing as a tribute to Hunter S. Thompson. Hope Jimmy does it live again, frequently!

Wow! Is right! I was at that show and it was my favorite song of the night. The band looked soooooo into it when they played it. Nothing short of incredible. :D

I think I remember the intro as ... We normally do this around 3 o'clock in the morning at Jazz Fest. It was a great rendition ... although I was only listenin' on RM :(

He played it at the Millenium show as well, but the Belly Up version was more energetic, IMO.

Three things you need a LOT of to score tickets to Cincinnati.


By the way, there's a guy selling lawn tickets : "1-72 tickets, you choose the amount." No wonder we couldn't get tickets. :evil:

I thought this was interesting. All of the songs seem to make a statement about free mp3 downloads.

In February 2001, a judge first ruled that Napster had to stop the distribution of copyright material through its network. Record companies provided filenames and song titles that should be removed and Napster blocked over 250,000 songs using over 1.6 million filenames. In July 2001, a judge told Napster it must block all files infringing copyright, effectively forcing it to shut down. Napster folded in September 2002. The RIAA has continued to pursue Napster clones in the courts. According to Zack Urlocker, the top ten downloads on the day Napster closed were as follows:

10. Doobie Brothers - Listen To The Music
9. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give It Away
8. Dr. Dre - Bang Bang
7. Metallica - Seek and Destroy
6. Jimmy Buffett - A Pirate Looks At 40
5. Warren Zevon - Send Lawyers, Guns and Money
4. Judge Jules - Gatecrasher
3. Jerky Boys - Fanning My **lls
2. The Clash - I Fought the Law (and the Law Won)
1. Everly Brothers - Bye Bye Love

That's pretty funny, because when I think of illegal file sharing and music piracy, I think of the Everly Brothers.

If I recall correctly, that is the version where he mixes the verses up a bit.
Second verse first and first one second.....or something like that.
Still rocks though!
