  • You need to change the title of the video. You made a typo, its from 1999 not 1989

  • @TheDarkFoxXIII The interview is from 1999 but within it is a clip of Eddie from 1989 and that's what the title refers to. I also clarified this point in the description above (which you may have to click to read)

  • @NaughtButEddie 4:38, to be exact. The 1989 clip.

  • Tru story. I once talked to a group of up and coming comedians in London and one of them had a day job at the publishing company that published Dress to Kill on CD and he told me the same story Eddie does in the video...that before his big Feb 1999 arena performance of Dress to Kill (after not performing it for over six months) he had to listen to his own CD to write down the set list. The guy I talked to was the one who had it messengered over to him!

  • Genius clip, don't knwo where you found it but cheers for putting it up

  • Eddie is so intelligent and well-versed in past and current history, politics and the like...and his jokes are timeless classics that really get important socio-political messages across. This is what makes Eddie so impressive and so influential as a comedian/entertainer and progressive thinker. Well done, Eddie :)

    ...and thanks so much for this wonderful upload!!

  • Liked the clip. Eddie is my favorite comedian and I was lucky enough to meet him in person, au hasard, on the street in montreal (then saw him live that night at the imperial).

  • @NaughtButEddie Sorry about that, my mistake. I didnt read the info, I have Dress To Kill on dvd. Just recognized him from that tour from the clips and how he was dress in interview and thought you made a typo. Anyway thanks for uploading the video

  • This isn't early eddie, this is Eddie in his prime.

  • I think it's the hair, very much like Princess Bride.
