Stars in the Audience?


Hey! First topic here, and it'll take a while to get any feedback, but let me say I love the man, he really made standup what it is today. I've missed him for twenty years, really, since the last standup was released; and now we all miss him. He was a genius of oration and timing and style.

I've always heard that many of today's (and yesterday's) "stars" were there for his "comeback" performance at the Paladium for LIVE ON THE SUNSET STRIP. Robin Williams is a name I've heard thrown about, and I can clearly see a younger Jesse Jackson in an early frame of this movie. I'm curious, does anyone know about any more? What's the story on this, and you wouldn't possibly know where on the tape to "spot" them at, would you?

It's one of the best ninety minutes given to pure standup in this medium, and I'm very proud to remember when it was new. I hope this request is not too trivial or silly.

Okay,
Bobbo

Actually you weren't the first topic, but that is besides the point...

Yes he was great. Have you spotted any other celebs in the video? If I spot any I'll let you know. And no, it is not a silly question at all!

Let me know,
Mike
