cccl. BRUCE, Lenny: The Berkeley Concert

cccl. BRUCE, Lenny (1925-1966)

The Berkeley Concert (1965)
(1:18:46)

Warning: Adult Material

from The Berkeley Concert.


Nevermind that when this double album was transferred to CD, they misspelled "Berkeley":


The date was December 12, 1965. Bruce would be dead within a year.

Frank Zappa was never afraid to produce something for his Warner Bros. subsidiary -- Bizarre Records -- that might not have great commercial potential. His own twenty-some releases on Bizarre and then DiscReet -- still a W.B. product -- testify to that ...

Listen carefully and you'll Frank laughing his ass off at various bits. I'm sure he was proud to have released the first Bruce full concert performance issued unexpurgated.

"A library of Lenny Bruce tapes would raise the educational potential of the national school system to a considerable degree. They should all be made available."
