Summary: Amazing stand-up comdey performance!
Review: This is quite possibly the finest piece of stand-up comdey ever captured on film. Richard Pryor is at his absolute best, and the material is identifiable, thought provoking, and most of all, uproariously funny. The first fifteen or twenty minutes is an incredible outburst of energy, and will have the viewer laughing out loud almost non-stop. Pryor is great at turning everyday occurances into something everybody can laugh at, and even painful moments can transform into material. There are not enough words in the english language to adequately describe how funny this performance is, and I have personally seen it nearly 10 times. The language is strong, but this really does not diminish or distract from the material itself.

My only observation may be that the negative reviews have all been for the DVD copy, which evidently is not up to quality standards. This is certainly not the case with the video cassette version, and I can only recommend that this edition be purchased. All other reviews have been 5/5 stars, and the poor quality DVD edition should be taken off the market until it can be remastered.

Summary: DO NOT BUY!!!!!
Review: This is the funniest 90 minutes of my life!

However, the audio syncing on the DVD is SO BAD that it is extremely distracting. Buy the VHS version.

Summary: Genius
Review: This is the greatest stand-up performance I've ever seen. The jokes are brilliant and the impersonations - from dogs to deer to stuttering Chinese waiters - are spot-on funny. But like all truly great comedy, the jokes spring from a deep well of humanity. Only a genius can make you laugh at his own heart attack, cocaine addiction and unhappy childhood. This is comedy with more depth and emotion - and sheer comic talent - than anything I've ever seen before. I would never again watch any of those dreadful films that Pryor made (eg. The Toy, Stir Crazy) but I have watched "Live in Concert" many times. It is a work of genius. The funniest stand-up ever !

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FUNNIEST STAND-UP SHOW OF ALL TIME!
Review: THIS SHOW WAS FUNNY FROM BEGINNING TO END. THERE ISN'T ONE SEGMENT IN THIS ENTIRE SHOW THAT WAS UNFUNNY, AND YOU CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR MANY OTHER STAND-UP SHOWS. THE SEGMENT IN WHICH PRYOR TALKS ABOUT SEX IS JUST DOWNRIGHT FUNNY. ESPECIALLY WHEN HE GETS TO THE PART ABOUT WHY THERE'S SO MANY ASIANS IN THE WORLD. ALSO, CHECK OUT THE SEGMENT WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT CHINESE PEOPLE WHO STUTTER. THAT'S ALSO WAY TOO FUNNY TO MISS. DON'T MISS THIS ONE! YOU'LL BE LAUGHING FROM BEGINNING TO END.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Richard Pryor: Live in Concert (VHS)
Review: This video was one of the funniest stand-up video's I've ever seen along with Eddie Murphy 'Raw'. He makes some really good points about guys that say screw girls all night and crazy parents the beat the hell out of the kids (he's got personal experience). He also makes some racial jokes which you'll only be offended by if you ain't got no sense of humour. His impression's are great so he bring's alive the character's he's impersonating.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest single stand-up performance EVER filmed
Review: With all due respect to the person who said that the CD version was better than the original. Let it be kniown that the CD was a recording of a different concert on the same "Wanted" tour.

In any event, I feel the video is much funnier than the CD, because we can see those classic expressions. A lot of Richard's comedy is visual. This is without a doubt, his finest work.

This is Jimi at Woodstock. This is Reggie Jackon in Game 6 of the 1977 World Series.

The best ever at HIS BEST EVER.
