(1988)"A Night at the Met" is the third official
album release byRobin Williams . It features segments recorded live atMetropolitan Opera House inNew York City , in 1986. This album won theGrammy Award for Best Comedy Performance Single or Album, Spoken or Musical for 1988.The album reveals Williams at the height of his comic prowess, just a year before "
Good Morning, Vietnam " was released and his focus would shift from stand-up to filmmaking, making the "Night at the Met" one of his last major concerts for 16 years. The show is a usual mix of Williams' rapid-fire humor and voicework, flowing between subjects of drugs, world affairs, sex and children. References to the events and people of the 1980s are strewn heavily throughout—U.S. PresidentRonald Reagan ,Libya n leaderMuammar al-Gaddafi , and President of theSoviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev are central to many of the jokes.Track listing
