3.0 out of 5 stars Lots on it, but not quite as good..... 11 Jun 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase
Ultimately, this release is a very mixed blessing. Although this disk contains material from all three previous DVDs, the quality has indeed suffered. As you may expect from an NTSC format and a compression that gets 3.5 hours on one disc, the quality of picture and sound is below that of the individual PAL releases. Not awful, but certainly inferior.

As ardent fans will know, the main attraction to this disk is the inclusion of RELENTLESS, which has not previously appeared on DVD. This makes it's shortcomings all the more irritating. It's frustrating and bizarre that this performance claims a 'missing' 10 min segment, whereby the quality suddenly dips to sub-VHS standard towards the end of the performance. As the UK tape version includes all of this 'added' material in perfect quality, it is a somewhat confusing fault with this DVD. It's also tragic to note that this section is the absolute highlight of the performance (the 'Drugs and Rock music' classic).

That annoyance aside, if you aren't too concerned about having 'perfect quality' transfers, or if you're completely new to Bill Hicks, this a cheap and concise record of his work.

However, die-hard Hicks disciples should note that because of the imperfect transfer mentioned, and since the quality of each individual UK (region 2) release is higher, you might want to wait for the UK release of Relentless rather than buy it within this omnibus disk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Three performances in one DVD 8 May 2005
By RF
If you're a fan of Bill Hicks, try to get hold of this dvd instead of "One Night Stand" or "Totally". Both of those shows are included here, plus the brilliant "Relentless" which was filmed at the Montreal Comedy Festival.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest (and scariest) dvd's ever 20 Jan 2007
I got this DVD from my brother for my 29th birthday. Wasn't expecting that much, because most of the stand up comics I had seen, weren't funny. I'd see them in "Late night with Conan O'brien" etc and none of them were really funny. A little bit funny yes, but nothing to get excited about But this one... oh boy, after I got over my first reaction; embarresment I saw that this guy was a incredible. I don't think I've ever laughed this hard. I really had to stop wathcing this DVD a couple of times, cause my stomach would hurt so much (and I go to the gym). And this DVD ain't just funny, it's also smart and scary. The plain nakedness of human condition that Bill Hicks reveals is sometimes quite disturbing (though funny) and leaves you thinking about, what it is, that we as a human beings are supposed to do. Bill really had some ideas that must have come from great compassion and understanding of how this world would be better place and he also had a quite dirty mind. Balancing those two aspects so brilliantly was what made him genious.
