Recorded live at the Beacon Theatre, New York, New York on February 6, 1999.
YOU ARE ALL DISEASED was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Comedy Album.
Throughout the '70s, George Carlin reigned supreme as the hip comedian's comedian, skewering the inanity of modern life with detachment and stoned, articulate wit. Carlin's take has changed a bit over the years. Instead of slying sending up the little absurdities of life and language, the older Carlin has largely substituted rage for bemusement. This certainly changes the flavor of his comedy. But Carlin is still never less than feverishly inspired, and he's often extremely funny.
Carlin is utterly unfettered by notions of political corrections. His humor is profane, scatological, and insulting to nearly everyone at some point or another. YOU'RE ALL DISEASED is a live recording of a 1998 cable TV special, and the disc captures Carlin at his apoplectic best. Whether he's decrying the idiocy of swabbing off prisoners' arms before they receive a lethal injection, bemoaning the popularity of angels, or lambasting parents for thinking their kids are cuter than they are, Carlin deftly mines the landscape of human annoyance.

| | Richard Pryor Evolution/Revolution: The Early Years (1966-1974) CDs (2005) Remastered
Life DVD
$17.05
This two-disc Rhino set compiles recordings from the formative years in the career of one of standup comedy's most important and influential figures. The set, entitled EVOLUTION/REVOLUTION, divides Richard Pryor's material into two distinct camps. The EVOLUTION disc covers 1966-1968, and shows the comedian still finding his voice and style. Pryor was much safer on these early outings, and borrows many of his cadences and sound effects from his successful contemporary, Bill Cosby. The material is enjoyable, and Pryor's delivery dynamic, but the real juice is saved for Disc Two.
Pryor's performances changed radically in the 1970s. REVOLUTION shows him dispensing with conventional standup altogether, and unleashing a new persona that knew no limits or taboos. Much like that of Lenny Bruce before him, Pryor's act was profane and brutally honest, probing mercilessly at issues like racism, drugs, sexuality, and social injustice. As much a social critic as a laugh man, Pryor's was confrontational and timely, and his '70s work holds up very well as a document of the era. Extended character improvisations, like "Wino & Junkie," are biting, hilarious, and poignant at once, and prove, with the rest of this excellent set, the growth and range of Pryor's genius.

| | Bill Engvall Decade Of Laughs CD (2004)
Life movie DVD
$9.65 
Though Texan comedian Bill Engvall gained a lot of attention in the early 2000s as part of the Blue Collar Comedy tour alongside Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, and Larry the Cable Guy, he'd been making inroads in the comedy world for at least a decade prior. Like his aforementioned compatriots, Engvall combines a down-home, working-class perspective with sharp comic timing and a knack for skillfully framing everyday vignettes to achieve maximum laughs. Accordingly, A DECADE OF LAUGHS culls some of the funniest moments from 10 years' worth of Engvall albums, and finds the comedian expounding on everything from airplanes to marriage. To round things out and underscore the country-crossover aspect of Engvall's appeal, there are a few musical tracks, a couple of which feature guests Travis Tritt and John Michael Montgomery, whose vocal contributions are juxtaposed with snatches of Engvall's standup routines.
