“I was 16 when my parents took me to see Eddie Murphy live in concert in Washington DC at Constitution Hall back in 1983. Unfortunately, since then I have never seen a live comedy performance come close to this one. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enThere is one point in the show where Eddie Murphy drops his microphone and starts laughing at what some person in the audience yells. Interestingly enough, you cannot hear it in the video. However, I know what was said by the audience because I was there.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOn one side of the theatre a woman yelled, u0026quot;Do Gumby!u0026quot;. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enOn the other side of the theatre, a guy yelled real loud, u0026quot;Shut Up Bitch!!!u0026quot;. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is what made Eddie drop his microphone and start laughing. You heard it here first. I am sure that if you asked Eddie himself, he would remember because it was too funny.”
