Bill Hicks Arizona Bay CD

 The pinnacle of Bill Hicks' career.
All right, let me start off by saying: if you are not an avid Bill Hicks aficionado, Arizona Bay would be the best recording of his work for you start out with. It has all of his well-known satire compressed into one show. You can get the perfect indication of what kind of man Bill Hicks was, and how he thought. His idea of serenity (being California floating into the Pacific Ocean after what's known as the "big one" detaches the state in its entirety) not only fills you with hilarity, but given his way of thinking, you can't help but feel a similar anticipation for the occurrence. Personally, what I enjoyed most from this show were his bitter witticisms (i.e. his hatred for George Bush, Sr. - hell, republicans in general, and the Rodney King trial). His impressions of the characters he had involved makes it a special delight to hear, and far more amusing, predominiantly his British accent. I apologize for this short review, but there's really nothing more to say. If you're already a Bill Hicks fanatic, I don't have to explain to you his comedic excellence, but if you're still new to his work, then please, take the time to digest it properly, and if your sense of wit is anything like mine, you'll enjoy what you hear.
