I was happy to order this on DVDR, perhaps its discontinued to allow for  a more permanent DVD release and that is good because it isn't redundant and is the only bio on George out in video form short his interviews. Being a huge fan I was thrilled to have this 50 minute show from a company that does them well.

I first became a Howard Brodie fan after seeing several of his WW II drawings along the walls of the Pentagon.  I then started research on him and found several issues of Yank with his work.  Finding this book was the  ultimate.  It is a "must" for anyone who wants to get a true feel  of the troops on the ground in war.

How did I not find this one earlier? It's completely full of George's best stuff. If you only have one of his albums - this would be the one to pick.

This DVD shows his talent and sexiness in person. The interaction with his audience, sensuality, and charisma touches you. The best of George's hits from the 80's through 2000's ( I especially enjoyed seeing him dancing sexily to I'm Your Man) and covers ( the ethereal and tender The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face) are performed live. Just tragic that he died so young and in his prime.

A quality book about a fantastic performer.  I know George personally, and it is a wonderful tribute to his talent, and life.
The DVD showing clips from his show are great and allows the young magicians today to see and know the masters
that have come before them.  The book is well written, full of great pictures and lots of history, a must for any magician
be he a performer or historian, THIS IS HISTORY!  Highly recommended.  Also of great value to anyone in the stage
business in Baltimore as the Jones Costume Co. is a Baltimore historical treasure and one which is woven through
the book.

I love everything Mike George writes  He displays incredible insight and really gets life. Easy read - but great knowledge.

This was the best of George's pure comedy albums before his humor started having a lot of political commentary mixed in.  This was the the album that established Carlin as the best comedian since Lenny Bruce.  Is is amazing that when this was released his Seven Words You Can't Say on TV sent shockwaves throughout the industry.  Compared to some of the comedians appearing on HBO, this is extremely tame.  Also extremely gut wrenching funny!

I loved the bits about the novelty shop with the artificial vomit and the Catholic school stories are hilarious even for those of us who went to public school.  A true masterpiece!

After reading and analyzing five of Howard's Conan series, it is apparent that the author is a master of English prose.  His word choice is amazing, his syntax is rich and diverse, his knowledge of rhetoric is comparable to any of the great story tellers of the past.  In addition, his ability to plot and to create fascinating settings  puts him in the forefront of imaginative authors.  To a reader who wants to be entertained artfully, there is no better work or author to be found -- anywhere or anytime.

Wish George could go deeper into his readings but it was very enlightening. George is one of the most interesting mediums I have ever read about. Would love to have a session with him! I feel he could really help me with my loss! Love him!

don't ask how an item  not  for  sale can  be reviewed...this aired on HBO and I've watched it a half dozen times.
Like George's last DVD  (HBO Special) Life is Worth Losing, It's Bad For Ya will scare and  offend  many.  For those  wanting  the hippy dippy weatherman or  A Place for my Stuff  or Baseball/football type of humour light, this will feel like  a sledgehammer.  For  those of us who have grown  over the years with George and appreciated his loud wake up calls ...from  his dissing  George Bush 1 and  the gulf war on....this is more vintage Lion in  Winter George.  Lambasting  the child  worship culture,the fraudulant SELF ESTEEM movement,  pointing out that unlike  his father ,  Governor bush, hasn't truly been elected president in the traditional way,  and our dead relatives aren't hoovering above us guiding  us through our daily duties.  There is much more to the set..and while  I slightly prefer the previous Life is Worth Losing due to its in your face wake  up approach..there is much to enjoy here and take  note of ....George claims  that we are soft and easily placated with cellphones that make  us pancake and rub our balls!  ...and  he's right. Oh...and he suggestes if you really believe you have RIGHTS? Google Japanese Americans 1942 and  find  out about your precious RIGHTS!

RIP George Carlin...he never took the easy way...he  never flinched from the truth and he always kept growing...14 of these specials over the years ....what a treasure!!!

UPDATE:  I just got an early copy of the DVD...the bonus 7 minute performance (in color) from the Jackie Gleason show in 1969 is a riot!!! very cool to see George in a suit/tie short hair...doing a normal non-confrontational stand up...

and..the 32 minute bonus "Too  Hip For The Room"...which I believe was pulled from a 3 hour tribute  to George...is a WONDERFUL bonus feature...I wish they would have all  3 hours but this 32 minutes is sensational...the value of this package just went up up up...

enjoy

I have always enjoyed George Winstons piano solo's. I grew up listening to December. My parents would play it and it was always one of my favorites. Its the only reason I gave this box set 4 stars for leaving that album out. I guess he figured everyone already had that one since its his best selling. As I got older I wanted to hear his other albums and they do not disappoint. Autumn is probably the best one in the set with the song Color/Dance being one of the best I have ever heard. Woods is also fantastic. Another reason I bought this set is for the DVD. It was shot at the fantastic/historic Ryman Aud (The Grand Ole Opry) in Nashville. It is cool to see George come out very casual in blue jeans and play his solo's. He also plays slack key guitar (W Chet Atkins) and you can see that it is a thrill for him to play with one of his hero's. He also plays a Harmonica solo but he is best when he is at the piano. For some reason he talks over some of the songs on the DVD which is a little strange but he doesn't do it too much and overall you get a good sense of who and what this guy is all about. A great artist.
