5.0 out of 5 stars No Material...No Fear....No Guts, No Glory, December 11, 2004

Dice was at the top of his game when he decided to make this double album, affectionatly known to fans as TDTLD. He stood on stage for a few nights at Dangerfield's with no material whatsoever....and made a comedy classic not unlike Pryor's That Nigger's Crazy and Sam Kineson's Have You Seen Me Lately?
Dice made a ballsy move in doing this album. He wasn't yet the comic who sold out Madison Square Garden, nor the man who went crazy with TDTLD Part II...avoid that one, BTW. The album was perfectly stated in his routine "...Laughter verses comedy...you don't have to laugh to enjoy it." If you love Dice, and you want his albums, then this is the one to get.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Comedy Classic, July 7, 2003

All right, people--I'll be the first to admit Dice is no comic genius. He had a good two-year run, made a feature film (Ford Fairlane) that tanked, p.o.ed a lot of people in the process, and you know what? He's still out there doing it!

The media circus has died down, and while most Diceheads got their kicks from his first album (simply titled "DICE") and the video that came with it ("The Diceman Cometh"), this two-CD tour de force came, saw, conquered, and it'll be back in an hour--get it?

With almost two hours to kill, from start to finish, Dice takes his time with the show, and organically spouts jokes that end up being riotous. By the end, the whole crowd realizes they've been part of something timeless, and 14 years later, this album is still funny as hell.

His act might have gotten stale, but this is THE quintessential Dice album to own.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the all-time greatest Comedy Albums, March 22, 1999

This review is from: The Day the Laughter Died (Audio CD)

Dice, taken selectively, can be brilliant, and he never gets (or got) any better than on this double album. It's up there with Sam Kinison's "Have You Seen Me Lately?" and Richard Pryor's "Is it Something I Said?" for sheer audacity and talent. Later on when dice would pander to the 'rhyme' contingent the material became sloppy--this never gets old, it just ages like wine. I can't recommend any bits in particular, because it's all good.
