Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Pryor is great, DVD sucks
Review: All that can be said is that Richard Pryor is pure comedic genius! It is certainly obvious who Eddie Murphy was influenced by. The sound could have been re-worked for this DVD, but it's still a classic to own.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Funny is an understatement!
Review: Before watching this live performance, make sure you are in a healthy condition and have a supply of oxygen available. You'll laugh non-stop, so much that you'll cry with an internal pain which can only ever be induced by the humour provided from the great man himself, Richard Pryor. Enjoy!

Summary: Rchard Pryor=God
Review: Comedian Of Comedians...don't cheat yourself by not buying this DVD.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Richard Pryor Live in Concert
Review: Don't get me wrong. To me this is the best Richard Pryor performance around. I'd give it a 5 out of 5 if I could. The reason I'm only giving it 1 star is because the DVD that I recived had serious tracking problems! The voice was out of sync with the picture wich totally ruined the timing of the performance. I don't know if all the DVD copies are the same but I was very disappointed!...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Buy the audio tape, not the DVD
Review: DVD: Lip-sync is way off, there is ghosting all over the place. This is NOT the same recording as the audio tape version, and although the material is the same, the delivery is not as good - very disappointing. Buy the audio tape for a few quid... you'll enjoy it far more - extremely funny! Whoever relesed this DVD should be flogged.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pryor is absolute dynamite....DVD is very average !
Review: First saw this very funny show of Richard Pryor at Long Beach, California when it first came out back in 1980 and I almost wet my pants with laughter.... I showed this hilarious tape to many friends and they too howled with pleasure at Pryor's brilliant satire on everything from mean dogs, amorous monkeys, his grandma's cooking and being forced to go get a decent switch so he can get a decent whippin' !!

So I was stoked to see this special arrive on DVD....However, picture quality is nothing short of very average (I was getting a headache watching the disc...and sound is definitely out of sync on numerous occassions !!

Whilst, I'm happy to get this show on DVD...the transfer could have been a lot better !!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An epic.
Review: I first saw this when I was 14, back in the early 80's. I had seen Richard Pryor before, on "Saturday Night Live," but never in a stand up setting. Living in the suburbs of New York's Capital District, where there is very little exposure to black arts and culture, I appreciated this film for its immense homor, and as a teen didn't understand the message included in the humor. (I laughed so hard tears poured out of my eyes.) My point is that its humor reaches to many levels and many races. This is a landmark achievement in cinema, right up there with "Casablanca," "Ran," "Cinema Paradiso" and others. It was certainly deserving of Oscars for Film of the Year and Best Performance By an Actor. It's an essential for any collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: dont get no better
Review: I found this while in my house. I must of been my moms. I have th evhs tape. This is incredibly funny. I was hooked on richard ever since watching this. He is the funniest man alive. Here is a very good reason the buy this. This is his best work. He is his funniest in front of the microphone doing stand up.
Buy this you wont be dissappointed.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Excellent Content, Very Bad Quality.
Review: I've always found Richard Pryor to be very funny.. Once I saw this concert on DVD I couldn't stop myself from ordering it. However, I was very disappointed to find how the picture and sound qualities were of that level.. They were way below expectations..

I gave it 3 stars for the material.. I can not give it a single star for the quality.
