Watching Pryor go from imitating a drinking deer to a woman debating about going in the woods gives just a hint of the comedic genius of the man. Crude, foul, and real, this is the first and best of his concert films. Pryor does dead-on impersonations of the respective races, cussing, trying to act tough, getting kicked in personal spots. But it's his imagination that elevates him to a different level. He gives his impressions of what animals think, from his own animals (a monkey, a Doberman) to police dogs, and it seems so exact, so prescient. Not to mention the fact that he is self-deprecating in the extreme, and has as much fun skewering himself as any other subject. Still vibrant, still funny. --Keith Simanton

Rating:  - DVD
The video was given as a gift. He loves the video and watches endlessly laughing throughout the whole video. I did not recieve half the things I ordered, and I almost did not recieve the video. The website was difficult to navigate and many of the links did not take you where you needed to go.
Rating: - Trust the REVIEWS LOL thinking about it!! HILARIOUS

It does not get any better than this, Pryor is in his element and his story telling is as raucous as ever. The problem is the generation of standups who learned from him, but started to cuss just for the sake of it.
Profanities when used by Pryor becomes almost silly and funny in its very connotation, unlike the ppl who try to replicate it. There can only be one true comedy king ( yes, as opposed to the false one) and that is King Richard Pryor, Rest-in-Peace, my friend.

Rating: - Richard Pryor at his best
Excellent DVD of Pryor in a live concert back in the late seventies, he is extremely funny at his peak. Enough said.
Rating: - Maybe the funnest thing EVER!
When asked for an example of something to "hot" to be included in the National Recording Registry, Gene DeAnna, the director of the recorded sound division at the Library of Congress, immediately replied: "The example that comes to mind, to me, is a Richard Pryor record." He continued, "I think out of context, the language and often edgy, racial overtones of the recording could be put against the library and it could hurt feelings." Given a chance to see "Richard Pryor - Live in Concert", you'll be ... Read More
