3.0 out of 5 stars Bad Video Transfer, April 16, 2007

By	Jesse Ross (San Francisco) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can't say enough about Redd's stand up. It is very funny and filthy. His speech on censorship is quite amusing, and others are downright hysterical.

Redd Foxx is terrific. Unfortunately, the video transfer on this DVD isn't. It looks like someone used home equipment to dump it on to DVD from an old VHS copy. There are lines across the screen, flashes to black and white, etc. If a decent remaster of this video ever comes out I'll easily give this five stars. But till then, I recommend buying one of Redd Foxx's CDs to hear his comedy.

4.0 out of 5 stars YOU GOTTA LOVE REDD !!!, August 28, 2006

By	A. Potter "Sammy" (miami, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

THe DVD did not get a 5 because of the DD not Redd's performance. The DVD did not have many of the standard features we have been accostumed to; specially the bonus videos and even closed caption.

Redd Foxx shows how loveable and crazy he is on this stand up (A la Fred Sanford).

He even makes the crowd sing 'Row Row Your Boat'!!

If you've always asked yourself where did Fred G. Sanford came from, you must see this stand up!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Ist Time With FOXX, May 25, 2007

By	Reuben P. Anderson, Jr. "Jaye Attitude" (Burbank, Ca.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have loved watching Redd Foxx as the lovable character "Fred G. Sanford" for years. "G" stands for GREAT as far as I'm concern. This was the first time I saw his live act ever!I was so engaged with
his commentary about life, sex, politics and racial differences. And seeing him RAW and live was...I was just stuck to the screen. I never realized how much of a chain smoker he was. But he was charming, witty and clever. Very entertaing stand-up. He was in Las Vegas when he did his bit and you almost got the feeling that the people were not ready for him. As if they were expecting him to be Fred sanford or something. But what impressed me the most about Redd Foxx was that he never let anything or anyone stop him from being him. He cursed and was vulgar as he could be but in his own loveable charming way that made him irresistable to watch.


I'll just write, if you love anything about Redd Foxx and interested in knowing and seeing another side of him than get this DVD.
