These group of folks have licensed English rights and are doing a big push in distributing it. They have asked me to do a video introduction to it. Sweet-it was such a great time falling into love with Richard at the same time all that great material was being developed and finally shot at The Long Beach Terrace Theatre.
I just talked about how Richard put it together and ended up at the theatre in Long Beach-and how kool it is that folks in cold rainy shitty England are digging it!!

Jennifer,

cold, rainy, shitty England?!?

its not that bad over here!

Olly

Olly,
Oh so sorry-just kidding!

Jennifer,
WANTED is a great audio document of that tour, but is there another version of that show also shot in Long Beach? I remember having an old Movies on TV book that mentioned something like RICHARD PRYOR IS LIVE AND DOING IT AGAIN or something like that. Either it was a re-issue title for Live In Concert or something entirely different with the same director. Any clues? It would be great to see some deleted footage down the road.

reelblack,

I believe the title you're thinking of is RICHARD PRYOR IS BACK LIVE IN CONCERT. But, I'm not sure if it's the same movie released again or a different performance of the same tour.

graniteplanet,
No! The name of the film is Richard Pryor, Live in Concert. ANything else, is marketing!

reelblack,
There was an attempt by some outlaw producers to recut it and retitle it and rerelease it but Richard sued and shut themdown; that was back in the late 70's, early 80's!

Jennifer,

In Leonard Maltin's book, there is a movie listed RICHARD PRYOR IS BACK LIVE IN CONCERT (1979). It says it is the same material from LIVE IN CONCERT. I also saw BACK LIVE IN CONCERT mentioned in one or two biographies of Richard (not his autobiography). Did these "outlaw" producers re-release it after all?

graniteplanet,
For a few inutes until they were shut down!They actually called it somthing liek "live In Houston"!
