"Originally released in 1984 but never appearing before on DVD, this show features Martin’s full LIVE performance at the Universal Amphitheatre from September 28, 1979, marking the only video footage that exists of his mature stage act from the late 70s. The show also includes his Oscar-nominated short The Absent-Minded Waiter (with Terri Garr, 1977), and “The Comedians Segment” with Paul Simon, David Letterman, Alan King and Henny Youngman." -
Entertainment Weekly
"This video contains three segments: First, the Oscar-nominated short The absent-minded waiter (1977), then a fake interview with Steve Martin about his art (comedians-segment) and finally a full live performance done by Steve sometime in the seventies at the Universal Amphitheater, Los Angeles." -
IMDb
"By the time Martin performed at the Universal Amphitheatre in 1979 for the show captured on Homage To Steve, the comedian had ascended to a rarified realm of success and popularity beyond his wildest dreams. By that point, stand-up comedy appeared too easy for Martin; it was a matter of playing the hits rather breaking new ground." -
