The greatest comedy concert show...ever!!


THis is hands down the best I have seen. I don't know why people say "Sunset strip" is his best. I think this is better than anything he's ever done!!

Anyone else agree?

Yes, this is his best concert film, and one of the funniest stand-up films ever made. This is Pryor at his prime, before the freebasing; his timing and energy and the flow of his performance were superb, and his swearing was daring and groundbreaking at the time.

I loved this as a kid, but I just watched it again recently and it seems horribly dated. Cannot help that, I suppose.
