Brilliant... Thought i was the only one having it!!! I had recorded it on a tape from BBC 3, while in UK, as a postgraduate student. Glad that you can find it here, because, besides the theme and the research, is an amazing structured radio documentary.... Thanks
As a teenager I went to this show at the Fillmore. Didn't understand then why he spent his show reading from law books and getting into the arcane aspects of his cases. I wanted to hear his "stuff". I eventually understood of course. Lenny Bruce helped me along the way toward thinking for myself. Bless you, Lenny.
Dick Gregory: "This guy (Lenny) is the eighth wonder of the world... and if they don't kill him or if they don't put him in jail, he's liable to shake up this whole fucking country" well the powers to be, effectively did both
And Pryor. Pryor was a huge fan of Lenny. "You should have seen Lenny." are the words his daughter quotes him as saying to her in awe. You can totally hear it in both of those guys. Both Carlin and Pryor were straight comedians who worked the same exact clubs, were admirers of Lenny, and also who took acid about the same time. Both of their acts "deepened" and got more outrageous at the same exact time, in Lenny's wake. I always say Pryor and Carlin finished the job Lenny started.
I think a lot of entertainers have a style of mannerisming and cadence and real good substance for their audience to enjoy as they wish and can just flow with it that makes lenny bruce in my book I've never seen or heard anything like before I heard this right here Lol this is literally where it's at Lenny bruce is an all time classic right up there with Abraham Lincoln in my book
I was 14 years old when I bought my 1st Bruce album and he was already dead. That's how I found out about him in my home town, 'John Birch.' I heard he was different and had problems with the law, he cussed and he made funny jokes...., I had to own his albums. There weren't a lot of albums either or maybe they were out of print, but what ever I saw I bought. Bruce was hard to understand because unlike Texas he had an accent & I didn't get every word he said, and talked fast. So I had to listen to the 'Long Ranger' over and over and over again. Or I'd laugh laugh laughing about the guy that pissing the sink, or the songs or word poetry like the story about the Black boy never being hurt because of a word .... To 14 year old it was pretty powerful stuff.

Lenny was a prophet, 20 years ahead of his time. Utter brilliance.
This is wonderful - thank you ❤💙
He is the God of comics and I dare anybody to say different,he was the person who started it all
Lol True!
Also lenny bruce was really good at explaining things he was talking about
Brilliant... Thought i was the only one having it!!! I had recorded it on a tape from BBC 3, while in UK, as a postgraduate student. Glad that you can find it here, because, besides the theme and the research, is an amazing structured radio documentary.... Thanks
True
Lenny carries all comics in his back pocket
Thank you for this wonderful post😀👍
very well done... they let lenny express himself fully without interjecting
I have this original poster. Numbered and signed by the artist. ' WES". I bought it in San Francisco in 1984. It is my prized possession.

Wow that is like having a piece of the shroud of Turin
In my book he is a Saint
I have a really good copy of The amazing spider-man 121 but that poster you have is truly priceless
he is & he was and he will never die
I love Lenny Bruce!!
True
Dick Gregory: "This guy (Lenny) is the eighth wonder of the world... and if they don't kill him or if they don't put him in jail, he's liable to shake up this whole fucking country"
well the powers to be, effectively did both
thank you very much. he's more relevant now than ever
This is infinitely better than the film documentaries made about Lenny...Although, Bob Weide's Swear to Tell the Truth is brilliant.
Thank you for posting. Lenny is the single biggest force in creating what came 20, 30, and 40+ years after. Genius.
You can hear the influence he had on Carlin.You can't kill an idea.
And Pryor. Pryor was a huge fan of Lenny. "You should have seen Lenny." are the words his daughter quotes him as saying to her in awe. You can totally hear it in both of those guys.

Absolutely.....and early Cosby (not in material ) but in tone and the art of story telling.
True
Lenny bruce is an all time classic all time Yes
@@Vonslik69 true
.... and every single comic who came after him. Pure genius.
He is not a comedian. He is Lenny Bruce.
Lenny the Best!!!!
the great one,,,,,R.I.P.
Man you're not kidding
I think Kramer's infamous rant might have been his attempt to do a Lenny Bruce-routine
true or also it is just an all time classic infamous rant lol that is truly having a bad hair day
I think a lot of entertainers have a style of mannerisming and cadence and real good substance for their audience to enjoy as they wish and can just flow with it
that makes lenny bruce in my book
I've never seen or heard anything like before I heard this right here

I think "influence" is putting it mildly...
off the PHIL OCHS Love me I'm Liberal, hypocrites unite. RIP Lenny...Namaste
it isn't a party if you don't have heroin. he could steal it from everyone whilst cutting it up. amen to a professional junky
It almost sounds like it, but he just left it hanging (making it just sound like an empty racist rant), and dropped the ball.
