This double-hitter features legendary comedian Richard Pryor in his prime. HERE AND NOW shows the controversial funnyman in a 1983 live performance shot at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans.

LIVE ON SUNSET STRIP features two performances at the Hollywood Palladium, where he delivers characteristic material addressing racism and the differences between blacks and whites, as well as discussing the accident that almost cost him his life.
