In this 1979 concert, he inhabits a deer, two squirrel monkeys, several dog breeds and a car tire, plus all varieties of black and white humans. Compulsively confessional, he talks of his cop encounters, his heart attack and his father's death in bed, if you know what we mean. It's a priceless evening with the all-time stand-up shaman...
