Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Stip

[@ghanasoul]

To think this man tried to commit suicide on June 1980, nearly died and in 18 months comes back onstage. He dominates the stage again, records a live album like he never left. That is a true survivor and someone with talent.

[@tibbar1000]

One of my classmates smuggled a Richard Pryor tape into Spanish class and piped it to all the language lab headsets. I can still remember how puzzled the teacher looked when he saw all of us enjoying his normally terminally boring class. RIP Richard Pryor and Mr Wiley.

The Thing About Richard Pryor Is That He Found Humor In All The Misgivings In His Life And….He Shared Them With Anyone Who Cared To Listen, He Kept It “ Real. He Was Truly A Genius Who Didn’t Care How Anyone Judge Him, He Did It His Way Regardless Of the Circumstances. In My Book, That’s A True Soldier. For Real.

The best at standup ever. Obviously many came before him, but no one before him will translate over to future comedians and comedy in general. Already 3 generations have gone by since he was in his hay day and a good percentage use something they seen him do. We are blessed to be able to pull these up whenever and had the opportunity to watch and hear him at his best. RESPECT

VIDEO TAPED RICHARD. on channel 4 here in U.K. a full stand up show some time before this, he talks about his pets,guns,wives ,dad, drugs etc ,had to show everyone and we always had aching ribs and jaws from pure joyous laughter ,the man was a brilliant story teller,sadly missed still.

Richard Pryor was the greatest of all time. His humor transcended racial lines...one of the few good memories I had of my father was driving across the United States and listening to Richard Pryor tapes on his car stereo. He could talk about pimps, players, junkies, white folks, winos and even Dracula and UFOs...all funny, all truthful...Richard seemed to be loved by all...and there will never be another one. R.I.P.

The most amazing thing about this performance was that it happened. Not because Richard was fortunate to have survived the injuries caused by his psychotic self-immolation in 1980, although that's true, too. No, the truly amazing thing was that Richard had tried & failed in his first attempt to do this show, apologizing to the audience before aborting it. To feel that type of acute embarrassment, then turn around and perform for the same audience and slay them, that's the measure of a master.

Brilliant: A great standup comedian: Richard Pryor embodied the brilliant skill of a creative professional with the rare honesty of personal experience and pain. This was a live performance that expressed an honesty that needed to be expressed. He was able to transmute his tremendous tragedy and pain into comedy and belly- laughter!! The last part of this standup - when Richard discussed his running on fire - is perhaps one of the greatest moments in American Humor. Mark Twain honors were in his case well deserved. Amen!! Racism still exists so be willing to deal with it Americans.

There is a hilarious intro to this performance on the video version where he is making fun of audience members still taking their seats as the show is about to start and a photographer with a flash camera is snapping shots of him from below the stage. He tells him to sit down, and then says: "I-said-sit-your-mother-fucking-ass-DOWN". It would be funny even with just the audio. Odd it was left off the LP.
