Eddie's best concert

"Yes, I know, everyone likes Dress to Kill. I believe that is because that is the concert most people saw first, and there is noting quite like that first taste of something special. Dress to Kill is a great concert, but Definite Article is Eddie at his best. His regular references are not getting familiar and he does not creep into what I call the "serious dead spot" that shows up in his later shows where he gets more political or engages in some social commentary which is interesting, but not as entertaining. Definite Article is the concert I show my friends who have never seen him before and they are hopelessly hooked. Now that all his shows are on DVD (except Live at the Ambassadors. Sexie is on PAL DVD and, yes, I have that one too.) watch these two shows back to back and you will see what I mean. It won't change your opinion, but you will see Eddie at his hottest (Definite Article) and as he hits his stride in America (Dress to Kill).

Some technical notes: The video quality is excellent compared to the VHS version and the commentary will make you just that much more of a fan. Enjoy!"

"I've seen all the Eddie videos (some way way too many times) and I have to say that this one is my favorite if just for the Corinthian skit alone.

He's sharp, he's "on" and he's Eddie. There's nothing more to ask for.

My recommendation in order of best to less best:

Definite Article
Dress to kill
Glorious
Sexie (saw him live both nights in DC and he was awesome)
Unrepeatable
Circle (not his best tour - I saw him live on that one)

But crap Eddie is better immeasurably than no Eddie so pick any one and start there."

"Another hilarious DVD from Eddie. While it may be lacking some of the social commentary and serious moments found on later DVDs, it is full of comedy which will have you laughing so hard your stomach will hurt and you'll have tears in your eyes. Buy this; you won't be sorry."

"Not as good as "Dressed to Kill", but it's damn close! Izzard's ablity to take the everyday and make it absurd is classic. I will never look at old ladies in the grocery store the same way. If you liked his other shows, you will really enjoy this."
