Taken together, Richard Pryor's concert films, the essential Live in Concert, the virtuoso Live on the Sunset Strip, and even the lesser Here and Now, provide a more incisive autobiographical portrait of the groundbreaking comedian than the fictionalized Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling. In Sunset Strip, Pryor relates two life-changing experiences. The first is his trip to "the motherland," Africa. As funny as is the routine in which Pryor gives voice to a couple of cheetahs poised to prey on unsuspecting gazelles, he brings the audience up short with a moving revelation that leads him to forswear ever again calling another black person the "N-word." The second, of course, is his near-fatal freebasing accident, which Pryor at first jokingly passes off as an accident involving milk and cookies. Then, he takes the audience step by harrowing step through his growing cocaine addiction (abetted by his untrustworthy pipe which speaks to him in reassuring tones), alienation from friends, including the formidable Jim Brown ("Whatcha gonna do?"), the explosion that resulted in third-degree burns over the upper half of his body, and finally, the agonizing rehab. It is even more unflinching and savagely funny than his Live in Concert routine about his heart attack. Other memorable bits include his experiences as a 19-year-old stand-up comedian working at a Mafia-owned club, a monologue from one of his signature characters, Mudbone, and his visit to a penitentiary while filming Stir Crazy. Sunset Strip captures Pryor's triumphant return to the stage. He is a survivor, unbowed, winning this round over the demons that plagued him throughout his career. --Donald Liebenson

This is an older, more thoughtful Richard Pryor, but still America's funniest man. His trip to Africa changed his outlook forever.

He tells a joke about Tessio asking Tom Hagen for a pass (from the movie, The Godfather) and Tom nodding no. Now, i don't want to break the joke to you if not heard, but trust me its unbelievably hilarious, now each time when i see the Godfather, especially during that scene between Tessio and Tom, whilst everyone has a sombre expression on their faces in the room, i am the only laughing my head off thinking about Richard's joke.
I would have to agree with an earlier reviewer that its ... Read More

Peoria,Illinois-born Richard Pryor delivers another hilarious comedy routine filled with profanity of course. Unbelievably,one of the audience members was Rev. Jesse Jackson. Does Pryor mention the N-word? Of course,he does. Pryor,who followed in the footsteps back in the 1960's of another comedian three years his senior,Bill Cosby,influenced another trashmouthed comedian years later,Eddie Murphy. Both Pryor and Murphy influenced other trashmouthed black comedians such as Chris Rock and Dave Chapelle. ... Read More
