Don Rickles LIVE: Pine Knob Arena ( Full Show )

[@JoeyBagOfBagels99]

26 years ago, (1997) I took my parents to see Don Rickles at The Desert Inn. In the old days of Vegas, if you "schmized" the Madre D a tip, you got a good seat. Since the tickets were comped, and I had 4 tickets, I gave him $50, and we sat up front. When Don walked in, he passed by our seats, and made fun of the shirt I was wearing, and then kissed my Mom! Later in the show, he called me up on the stage, and we did the same routine, with me double talking Japanese. After returning to my seat, an assistant came over and gave me a bottle of champagne that had Don Rickles' picture on the label. I will always remember him. A true Legend and Class Act!

[@lewissmith3896]

Nice one Joe.

[@unimpressed..]

That's a Great memory to hold on too. For a not so tall fella he was a Giant in my book. Spreading laughter is medication for tired souls. His and ours.

[@rehconcepts935]

I also saw Don at the Desert Inn during late 90's with my wife (Lorna Luft opened) - awesome memory

[@fangslaughter1198]

WOW!! I’ve always loved Don. I have a friend who is hilariously identical to him. Physically and mentally Mr. Warmth

[@mykeromero7075]

I had the same happen to my four. Mid 80’s brother turned 21 , took him his guest and my wife. Greased the maitre D a couple of 20’s. Front row , elbows rubbing stage. Rickles took me up onstage when the first guy had stage fright. Fed Don some straight lines , did the Japanese routine (I actually knew a few Japanese phrases). We had champagne , some flowers and somehow a picture of me on stage with him . Still framed in my home. Only regret was I never had it autographed.

[@MattBanwart]

Whoever's idea it was to post this on KZbin, thank you.

[@Eissey1879]

I saw Don Rickles on my 30th birthday back in 2015. It was a great experience. Even though at that time Mr. Rickles was unfortunately having to sit in the chair due to health, his mind was still as sharp as ever. I'll never forget it.

[@douglasschmidt2869]

The most underrated GOAT in the history of comedy

[@robertkronenberg1910]

Rickles pulled me up on stage twice. Once in Atlantic City; once in Vegas. I will never forget it. A legend among legends.

Shouldn’t be censored but loved this! The world could use Rickles right now.

[@NickJay]

Yes shame about the censoring - seemed rather pointless. It's just Don's SOH. And only the Chinese connotations too it seemed for some odd reason.

[@unimpressed..]

Him, Foster Brookes, Phil Silvers and even Jimmy Stewart could come outta left field and split you up, Buddy Hacket. The list goes on and on from that era. Can't go wrong with any of them

[@chrismorris6695]

I have been a comedian and actor for 26 years and this man to me was a comedy God,, and one of my all time idols. I went and saw Don when he was 81 years old about 16 years ago. Thanks to my buddy Bill Keenan we were right up front, nobody was safe, and when it was my turn to get picked on you couldn't wipe the smile off my face. I told Don I was a comedian and that was it he destroyed me, there were some other portly men sitting near me and he looked at the three of us and said "what is this guess your weight, I got three baby apes right up front". When he was done he looked down at me and said " no I'm kidding son, God bless you, it's a tough buisness, but I hope you make it". For a few seconds one of my idols addressed me and it meant the world. When Mr. Rickles died a few years back it was the end of an era He picked on every nationality, race, creed, color, and religion. He did it in a way to poke fun at the bigots and as he says in his show "I dream of the day when the Bigot will disappear". He was from a time where we could all laugh at ourselves. Thank you Mr. Warmth, I miss you, the world needs your humor now more then ever. Thank you Mindy and the Rickles estate for keeping Don alive and letting us relive his genius over and over again.

I had the pleasure of meeting (my hero) Don when I was in my early twenties, (the 90's) - working at Paramount Studios as tour guide. He could not have been nicer. I will never forget him and the comfort and humor he brought to my life. May he RIP Don. We love you forever. And ever. And a little ever more.

[@allydalessi3371]

His Roasts were legendary as was the man himself - he ripped into everyone no one was safe from his jokes but it was done with warmth and love ❤️🤣🤣

[@NevadaBoss]

I saw The Don live about 20 times, almost all in Vegas, and it was always a money in the bank show. Sure, a lot of the material was unchanged from 1 show to next, but Don was also the master of improv. All he needed were "victims" seated in the front rows & the universe unfolded as it should. A highlight of my life was being called a "Nazi bastard" by him. A true irreplaceable original, the likes of which we will never see again. #IGotYourWokeRightHere

[@JMorris216]

I absolutely got to see him twice! The first time it was at the Bergen PAC, because someone gave me a ticket after I had just gotten off work, and I got a chance to listen to Mr. Rickles‘s sense of humor, and I got a chance to shake his hand, and he said you take care of yourself, tiny as soon as I was leaving and it felt real good to be celebrated with that kind of insult. The last time I got to see him watch with Regis Philbin and my mother and I both got to see him and I told him how much I appreciated him that time. Well did I know that it would be the last time he would be seen alive, I don’t think so. But he felt gratified that I could tell him how much does humor helped me get through the most difficult time

As a 26 y/o who LOVES "old school" comedy that owns Don's "Hello, Dummy!" vinyl record, this is pure gold! Many of the bits derive from that 1969 set, but I think this 1996 set may have 1UP-ed that! He perfected this art so much that there is no other comedian that compares to Don. And I say that lightly; I might change my mind after a few videos. Anyways, RIP Don, classy guy as always.
