Richard Pryor - Live on the Sunset Strip (1982)


"Richard Pryor performs his stand-up comedy act on the Sunset Strip." - IMDb

"Live on the Sunset Strip is a comedy album by Richard Pryor. Recorded in 1982, the film was the most financially lucrative of the comedian's concert films. The material includes Pryor's frank discussion of his drug addiction and of the June 9, 1980 night that he caught on fire while freebasing cocaine. The album won a Grammy for Best Comedy Recording in 1982." - Wikipedia

"Just recovered from his notorious free-basing accident, Richard Pryor made a notable return in the much-acclaimed Live on the Sunset Strip. His comments on that event, as well as his notorious comments on sex, politics and race, pepper the 82-minute concert film." - Rotten Tomatoes

"Richard Pryor is one of our great originals. ''Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip'' is a rare experience of its kind, often hilarious but also frightening and, without asking for it, very moving." - The New York Times
