Music reviews of Shock & Awe: Live at Oxford Playhouse

Music Review: Just buy Salvation and get the entire performance
Rating: 1 Stars

Shock and Awe is essentially an abridged version of Salvation. Shock and Awe is missing a lot of material. The only reason I can think of to buy this over Salvation is if you want the bits broken up into shorter tracks. The tracks on Salvation are a bit long. But still, you'd be missing half of the performance. Skip this one. Get Salvation.

Description of Shock & Awe: Live at Oxford Playhouse

Bill Hicks was the last great social satirist, the true descendent of comedians like Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and Mort Sahl. The self-described 'Prince of Darkness,' his work confronted the hypocrisies of late-20th century American life, divining comedy from the more evil impulses of the government and the mass media while assaulting the soulnessness of mainstream culture. An alcoholic, coke addict and chain smoker, Hicks also experimented heavily with hallucinogenic drugs, and his monologues addressed issues of expanded consciousness and spirituality rare to the comedy format; for all of the rage inherent in his stand-up, his message was one of transcendence - as he frequently reminded audiences, 'The truth will set you free.' This release was recorded live on stage in 1992 at Oxford Playhouse Theater, Shock & Awe presents Bill Hicks in full flow with his views on the war and English culture.
