 Good stuff April 1, 2008
Brought back memories. Not as funny as delirious, but good none the less. It's worth the price if only for sentimental viewing. It's just weird seeing Eddie Murphy so young and RAW. :-)
 Classic February 8, 2008
You can watch it over and over and laugh like it's the first time you saw it.
Come back to the stage, Eddie, please... January 28, 2008
When looking at this perfectly preserved time-capsule piece from the 80's, it's easy to see why Eddie Murphy thrilled and offended so many people when he was at his absolute peak. And, considering how "RAW" effectively marked the end of his stand-up career and the beginning of a long, painful slide into movie also-ran status, one just has to quote from Eddie's African bush-bride Umfoofoo: "EDDIE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY?!?"
Rated R for Raw- Highly Amusing December 23, 2007
As in Delirious Eddie once again pushes the boundaries.
Hilarious, Eddie's no holds bar style comedy will leave you clenching your chest on the living room floor.
Highly recommended for people who like a good laugh, and aren't afraid of a little "adult language". Best to watch with a group of friends, preferably married.
Enjoy!
Eddie Murphy is still a very funny fellow-RIGHT! December 9, 2007

By 1987,when this concert was taped,many of Eddie Murphy's fanbase were tickled by DELIRIOUS and also loved him in other Paramount properties like 48 HRS. and TRADING PLACES. Again,Murphy impersonates more popular entertainers,this time those being the late great Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby. My favorite part of this show was the Pryor/Cosby impersonations. Murphy claims,although they never met face-to-face,that Cosby chastised him on the phone for his highly profane comedy. Murphy has been a longtime fan of Cosby's and of course always watched Cosby's (in '87)#1 NBC sitcom THE COSBY SHOW. Pryor influenced Murphy and in fact Pryor himself followed in Cosby's footsteps in the sixties. Pryor and Murphy would later star together in another Paramount property,HARLEM NIGHTS. Between DELIRIOUS and this show,Murphy did more popular films like BEVERLY HILLS COP 1 and 2(also Paramount properties),THE GOLDEN CHILD(another Paramount property), and BEST DEFENSE with the late Dudley Moore(another Paramount property,wow!). I also loved Murphy's impersonations of non-celebrity foreigners("I see you on tellehvesion,you're the 'f--k yuh' mon,right?"). The Engelwood,New Jersey native's film career continues today,mostly in non-profane,family-oriented films. So Murphy isn't so "RAW" anymore.
