I think it's easily top 3...

I think..


Pryor's "Live on Concert" and "Live on Sunset Strip,"
Carlin's "You are all diseased," "It's bad for ya," and "Jammin in New York,"
Rock's "Bring the pain," "Bigger and blacker," and "Never scared"


..are some of the best of all time

I think Delirious had a more of a WOW factor to it...like eddie emulating MJ's singing voice perfectly and the mr.T gay shit and so on...that's why people like it more.

but RAW is funnier and a bit more serious...the ***** trap sketch, italians,etc...

both are classics tho but give me RAW murphy over delirious.

One thing about RAW a lot of folks don't know about the involvement of Keenen Wayans and Robert Townsend in that project.
