Comedian Bill Burr performs a stand-up routine at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Colorado in 2021. I set my expectations a bit low before watching this. I'm a big Bill Burr fan but his last TV special was the awful Friends Who Kill. Admittedly it was a multi-comedian event and he was just the host but even his segment felt forced and far below his usual standard. I needn't have worried. Back in his element - performing alone and with an hour or so to comment on and rant about anything he likes - Bill Burr is fantastic. The humour is un-PC and irreverent, not just going where the serially offended fascists don't want comedians to go but also pointing out the stupidity and lack of balance in their views. It's not just anti-woke, there's also some hilarious observations on family life and life in general. This all done in Burr's inimitable intense, over-the-top fashion. Excellent show.

I'll take Will Smith's "Keep my wife's name out your fu**king mouth" over any of Bill's lines in this special. Bill comes out sluggish and takes a dirt nap. It feels like he needed his wife's approval to put out this special. I've seen red table talks funnier than this. Someone give this man a slap.

Just ok. Hits on all the typical hot button controversial but not so unique topics. Nothing shocking, some bits were amusing. Definitely not as good as his older stuff. I think the fact the audience cheered and clapped more than they laughed wasn't positive. It's supposed to be a comedy show, not a preaching.

This special is by far his best to date. I have loved everyone if his specials . This special has me laughing from the entire time.. Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle are two of the best all time comedians.. Thank you Bill for exceeding my expectations in this special ... I thought it would be 2nd only to the closer .. I honestly feel the closer and live at the red rock are the two best standup comedy specials all time . I hope they inspire more and more artists to keep freedom of artistic expression alive for generations to come.... No one compares to these two masters of their craft.

Was he short of money? Coming out to RR looking pasty as hell, with crappy production values and very tired routines. This guy can be very insightful and funny. Here he was just trying to trigger the audience -without much effect. A few bits were brilliant, but if you have to shout and do funny voices to land a joke, maybe it's not a good joke. And if you have to say "I'm not ignorant" several times, are you feeling defensive? This just looked phoned in: Bill missed a couple cues, and several shots show people wandering around. Not a tight set.

If you were a fan you will not be disappointed. From silly jokes to politics, there might be a few hit or miss but overall it's a strong special. Bill has been diving into deeper personal issues since Paper Tiger and it truly shows he's growing not only as a comedian but as a person.

Bill Burr gets better and better. 2nd, probably, only to Chappelle in the stand up game he shines in this mega show. He tackles to pandemic, woke culture, relationships and more with his biting humor. He is a great and engaging talent and this show is super funny.
