Format:DVD
Its true, there are many things that are not very good about this DVD. The editing quite frankly leaves allot to be desired. It seems rushed and as the previous reviewer says it can be distracting.
However the show itself is on point! Not as good as Bigger and Blacker but better than Never Scared. I saw the show in London and it was the best show I have ever been to. The atmosphere was electric, it was like being at a Wembley gig. Absolutely quality. Unfortunately, solely because of the editing the shine is somewhat dulled....but only slightly.
Chris Rock is an immensely funny man. His presence, his swagger, his self deprecating stories and other jokes are fresh and or come from angles that make you think and laugh out loud (which isn't easy).
I say buy this DVD if you are a fan, saw the show or just like a few laughs. You won't have seen a performance like this. Chris Rock we salute you.

For those of you who are put off by the way the HBO special edits between the three shows, there is a 3-disc special edition out there for around £20 (not on amazon at the moment) where disc one is the HBO edit, but discs two and three show each of the shows in their entirety.
While admittedly the material is largely similar across the gigs, it is still a decent investment to overcome the issues of the HBO edit.

I like this one not just Chris Rock's stand-up DVDs are as gold as ever. It's filmed in 3 different venues rather than just one. New York, London and Johannesburg. Great DVD, Great jokes, still the funny Chris Rock I know.

Don't buy this if you are in an interracial relationship
Ok the title is a bit of an exaggeration but... I've enjoyed Chris Rock on my own or with black friends and raved about it to my (white) hubby so he bought it for me as a present. Read more

Back at his best
Loved it, Chris Rock is a fantastic, edgy comedian with great timing and intelligent observation. not for the sensitive, but if you have seen earlier stuff you will love it.

Not up to Rock's usual high standard.
Please note that I bought this on Region 1 and assume that there will be little difference with the presentation and editing of the stand up routine hence I'm only reviewing the... Read more
