Question about an act
Posted: Mon Jul 04, 2005 12:51 pm
Hey all,
Long time fan of Richard here, even though I'm white, 20 and from the UK. A lot of his movies and stand ups were part of my growing up, and even today provide some of the hardest laughs. It's a real fuckin' tragedy to hear about the MS thing, I'd never even heard it happened. I guess people gloss over things when talking about legends.
I've been setting my sights on aquiring the full set of 'classic black comedy' DVD's, I've got a few Eddie Murhpy ones, but of course no collection is complete without Pryor. Harlem Nights is classic, but there's another reason for my being here ;p
Anyway, I picked up 'Live in Concert', which had a pretty nice remastering job done to it, if somewhat short on the special features. However, I'm looking for another one, the one where he makes the joke about setting himself on fire, and the pipe talking to him. I can never remember the name of it, I've got the bootlegged version on VHS but want to get the DVD version.
Anyone know?
Also, Jen or anyone in the know, any chance of there being a DVD Collectors set available in the UK/region 2? I don't know what Americans are like, but most people in the UK are just as, if not more likely to just go out and buy a boxed set rather than individual DVD's. There's plenty of room to toss in a few extra dvd's of spliced together segments.
Regards,
