Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.8.

My personal favorite Zevon album (and one of my favorite live albums in general - this is a gold standard in rock performance), all of his songs bring down the house here, the definitive versions of most of these songs can be found on this record. Good looks to David Landau on lead guitar.
Essential picks: Excitable Boy, Werewolves of London, Poor Poor Pitiful Me, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, Play It All Night Long

I use to play this album at my parties in my younger days. Great party record!

One of the worst LP covers of a decent musician.
Maybe adding a live album is not supposed to be done? This is the only reason i can imagine why this rip-snorter of a rock'n'roll classic has never appeared before on this site.
