 Reedited and reissued in August 1979 as "Richard Pryor Is Back Live In  Concert," which was sold as an entirely new film. Much of the footage was  from the original version, and virtually all of the material was the same,  but some of the new footage was from a different performance of the same  show. Producers noted that the difference could be determined by noting that  in some shots, Pryor wears a wristwatch and in other shots he doesnt,  prompting New York Times critic Vincent Canby to remark "If you cannot rest  until you see Mr. Pryor wear a wristwatch, dont miss this recycled work.  However, its far cheaper to stay home and remember the first movie fondly."
