Saw him on tour in about 1989. Was 2 hours of the best stand up comedy I've ever seen.

Saw him in Vegas about 10 years later and it was a train wreck. He worked from notebooks throughout the 1 hour set.

He was blatantly contemptuous of the audience and closed by telling the crowd (which was shockingly small) that he was only there to work on his material for his next HBO special. Then he just turned and walked off stage to a smattering of applause. Hugely disappointing.

Incredibly talented, but obviously, a very conflicted guy.
