I know that the best stand-up comedians have been discussed ad-nauseum on here, but which comedian has the best stand-up concert/performance of all time?

My pick is Robin Williams: Live on Broadway. Honorable mentions are Dave Chappelle: Killing Them Softly, Stephen Lynch's Comedy Central Presents, Jim Gaffigan: Beyond the Pale.

What does everyone else think?

I think that's a terrible choice...Robin Williams has never done anything for me.

Raw and Delirious have to be near the top of any list. If performances include documentaries, then Comedians of Comedy and Mr. Warmth are more than excellent.

That's a great one that I don't think gets talked about enough in these threads. It really is spectacular.

Besides that one, my picks are pretty standard:

Dave Chappelle: Killing Them Softly
Eddie Murphy: Both Raw and Delirious
Bill Cosby: Himself
Richard Pryor: Is it Something I said?

Ron White - pick one, it doesn't matter. Any would be more funny than anything else listed. To me. YMMV. IMHO.

Pretty much anything Carlin ever did

Louis C.K.

I like some of Bill Maher's specials too, but he's too political for a lot of people
