Cheech and Chong Perform (1978) | Live at Spanky's Part 1

Mega-rare live concert from the early days of home video.

"CHEECH AND CHONG PERFORM/PERFORM AGAIN (1978)
Director: Not Applicable. Rated: Not Rated. Runtime: 50 minutes.
This video contains the only commercially released footage of Cheech and Chong's stand-up act. It was released in 1978 and runs 84 mins. It was recorded at Spanky's comedy club just after Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong completed filming Up in Smoke. They even make a comment about not having to do stand-up anymore if they make a lot of money from the movie. There are actually two videos filmed the same night, Perform and Perform Again    • Видео   .

You have to see the "square" 1970s clothing Tommy is wearing. It's bizarre.

The Perform video contains the following sketches:
• Chinese Restaurant - Chong is a waiter at a Chinese restaurant who must communicate with a Superfly-esque black man who's eating at the restaurant.
• Queer Wars - Similar to the bit in Still Smokin. However, this one is more raw and funnier. Basically, it's two gays interacting with a StarWars theme. They use dildo guns to shoot the bad guys.
• Low Rider - This is the onstage re-enactment of the legendary first scene of Up in Smoke. Cheech is wearing the same outfit (except for the hat). It starts with Cheech entering his car with Low Rider playing and ends with Chong throwing up in Cheech's lap as the cop asks for his name. RALPHHHHH! The dialogue is different and there are a lot more jokes, jokes that were not included in Up in Smoke.
• Harry Palms - Similar to the bit in Still Smokin. However, it's a little different and there's more improvisation.
• Ralph and Herbie - Cheech and Chong pretend like they're dogs. This bit appeared on the Sleeping Beauty album, among others." - cheecandchongfans.com
