Music reviews of Salvation (Oxford, November 11, 1992)
Music Review: The British get Bill
Rating: 5 Stars
You certainly get your money's worth with this double-disc performance. Some of the material is available on Bill's other CDs, but the excellent audience makes the material come alive in a way I've never heard before. They get the jokes that pass by idiot American audiences, and their laughter is genuine. It makes you think that there are people out there who understand the world like Bill does, that he's not alone, and neither are you.
Description of Salvation (Oxford, November 11, 1992)
More than 10 years after his death, Bill Hicks' brand of radical thought provoking, biting comedy has seeped into America's consciousness. Following his best selling DVD, BILL HICKS LIVE, OXFORD NOVEMBER 11, 1992 captures a legendary performance at Oxford University. This 2-CD set showcases Bill Hicks at the height of his comedic powers. Nearly two hours long and unedited, Oxford is pure, raw Bill Hicks!This two disc set affords a complete picture of one of the finest comedian/social commentators of the past quarter century. While portions have appeared previously (as Live at the Oxford Playhouse 11.11.1992), having the nearly two hour performance in its entirety gives a sense of the dramatic flow that Hicks built into his work. The pacing and variety is astounding. Carefully written and honed, each of the separate issues he turns his attention to seamlessly blends fully realized character voices, fearless attacks on inequities and injustices, and actual punchline payoff jokes. The utter honesty about himself lends powerful credence to his unshakable faith and hope for humanity. Fifteen months after this show he succumbed to cancer at the age of thirty-three. --David Greenberger
