DVD Reviews of Richard Pryor - Live in Concert
DVD Review: The Best
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this show. It has always been one of my favorite concerts of all time. If you know about Richard Pryor then you already know what shows to buy but if you don't then I'd recommend you pick this one up or possibly rent it so you can see why he is great. Richard Pryor R.I.P.DVD Review: one of the best comedy films ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This is hands down one of the best comedy performances every caught on tape. Ever! Richard Pryor took comedy to a new level. He gave his performances everything he had (and then some) and that is what you get here. With so many performers just "phoning it in" these days, it's nice go back and remember what truly great comedy is like.DVD Review: BAD ASS
Summary: 4 Stars
I think this was really cool, and also a great way to get a blast from the past on pryor. Makes sense why he ended up all messsed up- looks like he's high as a kite on these dvds! DVD Review: Richard Pryor Live In Concert
Summary: 5 Stars
Richard Pryor is the funniest man that ever lived. This concert is one of his best; the heart attack sequence deserves an Oscar. DVD Review: Richard Pryor's Best Standup Performance
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always loved Richard Pryor's standup. As a kid I watched his movies, but they do not represent the real Richard Pryor. I have watched most, if not all of his standup performances available on video, and this one is truly the best. Richard is crude and raunchy, but he speaks the truth that we never talk about! It's really hard to describe how funny this DVD is, because they was just so much material that spanned a lot of subjects. Some of my favorites include Richard's bit about the woods, including a deer and a bear as well his bit about his pet monkey and his dogs. We couldn't leave out the sex part of course, and he has plenty to say on that subject, and you may find yourself thinking of certain relationships when he gets into the sex bit. If you enjoy standup, don't mind the adult language, and want to laugh your butt off, then Richard Pryor Live will not disappoint! I didn't notice any issues with the video, but I wasn't paying much attention to the sound or picture, I was too busy laughing!
Description of Richard Pryor - Live in Concert
Crude. Foul. Real. In a word, that?s Richard Pryor: Live in Concert. In this, the funnyman?s first and best concert film, Pryor does dead-on impersonations of the respective races, cussing, trying to act tough, getting kicked in privates. But it's his imagination that elevates him to a different level and hints at the comedic genius of the man. 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 precise. Not to mention the fact that he is at his self-deprecating best, skewering himself as much as any other subject.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
