Hmm!
I've never seen Lee live before, I have seen several of his live shows on DVD / YouTube and I've seen a lot of snippets of his on YouTube so I was far from going in fresh
As
kabbes says, the show starts with the (claimed) 1989 opening routine, I've no reason to doubt this, but I'd never heard it before so it was new to me. Infact that's not strictly accurate, he started with his oft used, along the lines of, "I know what you're thinking, X has let himself go a bit"
William Shatner in the case of the opening of the show, can't remember who he used in the opening to the second half
What I have learned, in case I was in any doubt
- Turn up on time
- Don't get a seat too near the front, especially if you're going to run late
- Don't wear any items of clothing that might "mark you out" for special comment
Basically, just good manners for any performance, and certainly for a comedian
