This is Robin Williams at his Best.
The Visuals are extremely funny.
Along with his humorous interpretations
of daily life, and how a child sees their world.
I would love to see Robin Williams-Live at the Met on DVD.
This DVD would make a great addition to any Library.

This is on one of the Funniest Robin Williams stand up performances ever to be made his witty and outlandish perfomance on stage is captivateing, in this video he uses and combines the topics of drugs, sex, and even his young son to place you in stitches I was on the floor withen the first five minutes and you will be too. A barrel of laughes like no one else can produce.

This was an HBO special recorded at the Met in New York, and the always manic Robin Williams is in absolute top form on everything from gay football coaches to drug abuse. This tape is an absolute must for expectant parents as Williams in his unique and inimicable fashion relates going trhough pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood as only he can.

Robin Williams has captured reality and given it just a twist. His one man show keeps rolling along while you are rolling on the floor. Don't dare to drink anything, as you may end up spewing at any given moment. Robin takes the ordinary everyday events that occur in our lives and gives them his own special touch making us look at everything with a new perspective, through the tears of laughter. Since we can only rate as high as five stars, then that is the rating given; however, in my book he receives as many stars as there is in the night sky. Thank you, Robin, for doing what you do and doing it so exceptionally.

If you liked his movies, then you will love this! It is non-stop laughing, and I mean non-stop. From his opening HOOOWWWDDY! to his finial f!#@ it, you will love this video. Also avalible on cd and cassette under Robin Williams Live at the Mets! Same skit, diffrent session! Must Buys!!!!

Can't believe this is 18 years old already! Boy, do I feel old!!
Williams can be very vulgar...and intermittently the funniest human being on earth. You never know what he is going to say.
He hasn't really grown up and never will, but he exudes an uncommon aura that is worth seeing. There are not many people like him on stage. He is also a very good actor.

I love watching Robin Williams-his quick mind and endless engery is great fun. One question....when will Live at the Met be released in DVD?

Everyone knows how funny Robin Williams is, so no point in me repeating how great this special was- just take my word for it. An hour straight of nothing but listening this intelligent wildman will leave you with a stomach & cheeks that hurt from laughing so much. I've been looking for this to come on DVD for YEARS. My mother desperately wants a copy, so does my aunt, and I would love it for myself, too. Yeah, you might be able to view it someewhere on the Internet "bootleg", but that isn't the same as having a legit DVD copy. There were so many outstanding comedy specials done back in the 80's on HBO that took time to get to DVD (Sam Kinison's, Rodney's Place & many more)- I can only hope HBO will wake up & realize fans don't just want 21st century Robin Williams work on DVD- we want it all! Even if only available in a boxset w/ his other specials, at a higher cost, I would still pay it just to get this. It's THAT funny. I'll keep begging & bugging HBO to see this put on disc- hoepfully, though, some smart workers at the company will see enough good reviews out there & realize how much fans want this today for their collection. Here's hoping!

I first acquired this on cassette almost a decade ago. Hearing him live and nervously explosive with humor, was a side I never imagined from a man of his background. Being analytical by nature, it opened my mind up toward those people who entertain us throughout the years and the view in which they really hold on the world around us and in life as a whole. Didn't care for how often he used his language at times with "God" and vulgarity but otherwise he seems to really nail it in each subject he carries on about. Absolutely hilarious and a must have for anyone understanding that decade of our lives.

Robin Williams is one of the best, if not the best ,impromtu comedian. He is always adlibbing himself but he still remains the ability to remember the topic he was on and tie everything together. From children to presidents, this is Robin Williams at his best.
