If you weren't around in the 70's, it's really impossible to understand how big Steve Martin was. He was colossal. Selling out stadiums, SNL, his comedy albums... If you were a kid, you we're quoting his lines, watching him on Carson and basically following his every move. He was kind of a big deal.

Quint Bromley, I was fourteen in 1975 and I couldn't agree more. I had the albums, watched every appearance Steve Martin made on TV. At the time, the greatest era in rock and roll was starting to fade into that bland disco sound, and I always thought Steve Martin and Saturday Night Live turned comedy into the rock and roll of that era - their comedy felt fresh, rebellious, and defining for our generation.

@@ParkerAllen2 Very well said. SNL was ground breaking back then, dangerous, much like rock and roll. Steve had such a unique approach to comedy and it just clicked with our generation. We passed the albums around and listened to the tapes in our cars: Let's Get Small, Wild and Crazy Guy and Comedy isn't Pretty. The only thing that got more rotation was KISS! Lol.

We can respond to silly, positive, and happy easier than to the nasty, hateful and anger inducing. I wish people would figure that out.

1975. Jesus, he was unstoppable by then. I loved his autobiography "Born Standing Up." He truly started from scratch. Taught himself to play the banjo in a hot car with the windows rolled up so as not to disturb anyone else (like his a$$-hole abusive father). Good-looking fellow, too. God bless him.

Steve was one of the most talented people that have been

Es la primera ocasion que escucho a Steve Martín en inglés ..greetings from from mar del plata Argentina 😊😊😊🤗

I'm a huge music fan: blues, rock, folk, jazz, etc., and have become something of a musicologist. However, the first record I ever purchased was "King Tut".

Some of my fondest childhood memories involved listening to my parents' Steve Martin comedy albums. I thought he was incredible, and would've given anything to see one of his shows.

Wow, what a throwback. One of the best comedians of all time. Thanks for posting this.

Steve Martin always seems to have the same age no matter what era you see him lol VAMPIRE !

absolutely brilliant

I always loved Steve Martin! Right from the beginning of his career! He is special!

Me too. I instantly loved him!! ❤❤❤

Back then, the Tonight Show ran from 11:30 PM to 1:00 AM. Multiple guests would be on, they'd have plenty of time to perform, and all sit together on the couch. Today, it's wham-bam-thankyou m'am.

If you've never watched "The Jerk" it's a great Steve Martin movie!😊 And who can forget "King Tut"?

I love the random laughs that happen after the joke sinks in. I love Steve Martin 🥲

I remember watching this live the night he appeared. I was hooked on the Tonight Show as a result.

Everything he did was hilarious 😂

I am at 1/2 century, and I love Steve Martin, I was turned onto his early albums by my 3 older brothers who were more the age to be listening. "far away!!!" looking forward to getting to see his and Martin Shorts special now.. but Steve standup is the best of his comedy.

As a teenager in the early 90s, I found the Steve Martin "Let's Get Small" album at a thrift store and I loved it. He is such a terrific talent. His banjo stuff is terrific too.

Brings back fond memories. I worked his show late 70's at Bayfront Center, St Pete FL. The crowd brought all kind of crazy props. (remember arrow through the head?) I've been a fan ever since. I think I've memorized every line from The Jerk.

went to one of the bayfront shows as a kid! my parents thought he was stupid. but me n my friend knew better!

He is one of my favorite people!

Uncanny humor that everyone got but most never heard before! One of a kind that's for sure!

I had his autobiography on CD read by him. It's very good. He does his own thing. Really smart.
