This was the period where Carlin was evolving from the counterculture icon (or as I like to call it, the world's oldest hippie) to the "angry old man" phase of his career that started in the early '90s, and we see elements of both over the course of the DVD.

This is an ideal introduction to George Carlin, although it probably could've been a whole lot better, as a lot of great comedy was left off. Recommended.
