So I stumbled across a video bootleg of Bill Hicks' last show (I think it was at Igby's in LA in '93) which is pretty low quality but a great hour's viewing. I've heard most of it on audio recordings but it was much better to see him performing.
I've got the officially released DVDs, the Sane Man video and stuff but has anyone come across any other shows available worth tracking down?
I'm in a kinda cynical mood. I need some more inspiration from Bill while I fill my hate hump.

And the Hicks version that came before was:
"You hear about these two kids, big fans of that band Judas Priest? They listened to the band then killed themselves....wow...two less gas station attendants in the world. What? I don't mean to be cruel but I don't think we lost a cure for cancer here. Trust me, there'll be no delay in the shuttle program because of this. But again, nobody asked the question that I wanted asking at the trial. There are these subliminal messages, backwards messages on the album ok? Here's the question that did not get asked in this retarded case...WHAT PERFORMER WANTS THEIR AUDIENCE DEAD?"

I've always found Hicks to be harder and less forgiving, whilst Leary always falls back on a safe happy ending - Leary always seemed to want the audience to like him, whilst Hicks never seemed that fussed?... That and Leary sold out his b!tch soul to every cheap a$ed advertising exec who came along, whilst Hicks stated true to his word throughout his life?
