Dennis Miller rolls out a highly polished new act in this HBO special, taped before a live Chicago audience on March 1, 2003. While Miller's social commentary remains rigorously middlebrow, it's his typically loquacious, often elegant, occasionally anachronistic (one wonders what the young, Windy City audience makes of Miller's coiffure reference to "the harmonica player from the J. Geils Band") delivery that makes The Raw Feed worth visiting. Surreal esoterica abounds from the moment the comedian takes the stage with references to the "sequin mines of L.A.," the India-Pakistan conflict as understood through the filter of Jonny Quest, the length of purchase receipts from Circuit City, and suck-up Saudi royalty described as "the Eddie Haskells of the Middle East." The occasional killer line emerges, including Miller's prescription for peace in Israel (give Palestinians the casinos) and a hard truth about nature: "It's like Nick Nolte with a clogged Eustachian tube." --Tom Keogh

- "This is not an easy time for humorists because the government is far funnier than we are." Art Buchwald

What a delightful hour with someone who can be argued as one of the best Humorists/Satirists around today.This DVD was recorded at Miller's performance in Chicago in 2003,and is a joy to listen to today,and loses none of its punch with the passage of the past 5 years. If there ever is a good test of great humor,it has to be time. One of America's greatest humorists has to be Mark Twain and that holds true for him;and I feel Miller's humor is similar, and will likewise be long lasting. As ... Read More

- Mediocre Miller material
Even before his veer to the political right, I was a Dennis Miller fan. I watched him all the time on SNL when he was a Reagan hater and saw his live show in college while he was firmly planted left of center. It is refreshing to see an entertainer of any sort that is willing to take up traditionally conservative causes and points of view, and, in Dennis's case, make them funny.

Raw Feed, though, is weak by Miller standards. Recorded on the eve -- almost literally -- of the Iraq war, ... Read More

- Slightly better than "all in"; not saying much.
Not nearly as sharp as the Dennis of old, but not a complete loss. I'd recommend this for a few decent runs and for the sake of ownership. Nothing more. He is tired, jaded, and angry.
However, it is not that fact that should bother anyone. It is Dennis's almost complete lack of universality and rationality when dealing with the scum of the body politic. But even that isn't what pushes it over; rather, the lack of comprehensional, cerebral, number tallying, willful disobedience for the sake of ... Read More

- Still Tremendous!
Let me be completely honest with my fellow Amazonians at outset. This DVD is very political and reflects Dennis's transition to the right side of the political spectrum. I do not make a practice of looking out for leftists regarding any matter, but, the fact is, should one despise George W. Bush and the Republican Party they will not like this performance. Here in Chicago, Dennis is brilliant, sharp, irreverent, and everything one wants a comedian to be, but--if "NeoCon" is your favorite curse--you will ... Read More

- Love Dennis Miller's humor
I find myself not only laughing at this wonderful comedian, but thinking to myself, you know that is how I see the events in the world. He has a everyday man's common sense approach to the events he comments on. Not for the faint of heart IF strong language offends you this isn't your kind of stuff. He is delightfully funny, and a real smart and savvy guy. Worth the price of the DVD.
