  Never lets me down
  
  Bill Hicks is a genius. End of. He never fails to deliver. The best comedian, political commentator, screw-up there has ever been.
  
  I miss him.

  great material, shame about the quality of the recording
  
  The sound quality is really poor - it's hard to relax into watching this great performance as you have to concentrate so hard to hear everything.
