Or this one with the Friends Roadshow,
1980-08-23 Vondelpark Amsterdam,
the year I saw him twice in one week

Imagine leaving his show and at the door he's standing and hugging everyone goodbye. some years later, when I went for the third time to one of his shows he didn't quit hugging. 

Great guy, great show, wonderful music ... but the two LPs with shows in amsterdam are out of print.

Firesign Theatre - The Tale of the Giant Rat of Sumatra (1974)

 



Channeling Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Jules Verne (with a dash of Mark Twain among others), the Firesign Theatre spin a tail of action, intrigue and duplicity involving a sought-after new technology, a large furry rodent, a corporate patriarchy, corrupt politicians, inept lawmen, nefarious reprobates, buxom beauties and a seven percent solution. Will Hemlock Stones solve the mystery? The answer is elementary, my dear Flotsom!

Sherlock Holmes has long been a staple subject for detective stories. The humorous, and at times surreal, approach to the Holmes mythos taken by Phil Austin, Peter Bergman, David Ossman, and Philip Proctor is both a mockery and a sincere tribute to the Holmes character. If you can't imagine how it can be both, just listen 4 or 5 times and it will all make sense. ~bigreenserpent

Okay...so it's Thanksgiving, and my brother hands me a SAFEWAY shopping bag and says, "Hey, can you digitize this **** for me and get it back to me by Christmas?"  I say, "Wah...uh...yeah, of course I can!."  Stuffed inside the Safeway bag are an LP, and a 45.   One is a Second City LP  and the other an obscure edit of a Richard Nixon speech.  Welcome to my December......  So I'm spending my time, running comedy LPs into .wav files, as hey...he's my brother, and I'd be a jerk if I didn't help him out.  So...as long as I've digitized it, why not share it?  I was STUNNED that one of our readers cared about the Tanz der Youth single; I figured I was the only guy on the planet who might care about that record, forty years later...so anyway...here's some early '80s improv comedy.  I had to do this project because: family....but maybe someone else might find it of interest?

Because The World Today Seems to Be Spinning Out Of Control...

And We ALL Need A LAUGH!!!!

Ryan Edward Upchurch was born in Cheetham County TN on Mat 24th 1991. He comes from a close family full of humor which led him to become the hilarious redneck comedian we know today. In 2014, while hanging with some friends Ryan started creating videos as his character “Upchurch the Redneck” within four months time he gained over 100,000 fans. In less than a year he hit over a million fans on social media.

In some of his famous videos, Ryan would sing bits of his favorite country songs. Fans couldn’t get enough and would beg for more. In July, 2014 Ryan put out his first single “Raise Hell and Eat Cornbread” which started the RHEC craze. Before long, Ryan had his own RHEC clothing line. Redneck Nation quickly sponsored the clothing line and in no time RHEC merchandise became popular.

I saw my 1st "Upchurch the Redneck" video just last Sunday. I was laughing so hard I  had tears running down my face and I could barely catch my breath.
Here's his character "Little Larry"...










I hope all of you enjoy this as much as I do!

In the fall of 1966, four guys from L.A. calling themselves Radio Free Oz broadcast a manic three-hour improvisation on KPFK. For most listeners, it was the funniest thing that had ever happened to them. The comedy of Radio Free Oz didn't flow like a river; it evolved like a living organism, spinning off random bits and pieces but always keeping its own bizarre, internal coherence. When the first of many albums the group recorded as The Firesign Theatre came out in 1968, new records were set for sustained stoned giggling worldwide. But even before smoking all that grass, it was almost impossible to describe their appeal.

Which is not to say they were without influences. Their freeform montage format drew heavily on pre-war radio drama and the emerging late-nite UHF spectrum. Their bits were built around ordinary things like RVs, game shows, channel surfing and fried chicken. And they were full of a kind of cock-eyed mock-patriotism that allowed them to take cheap shots on their favorite malignant superpower without really making any serious political statement. Hearing their lengthy streams of altered consciousness was like watching the Marx brothers do a James Joyce impression; in a lot of ways, they prepared the world for Monty Python. And their stuffed-shirt straight men were always really, really straight, which was doubly funny if you were high. And, back then, you were or
 maybe still are.
