In May 1978, he returned to Germany and gave a live poetry reading of his work before an audience in Hamburg. This was released as a double 12" L.P. stereo record titled "CHARLES BUKOWSKI 'Hello. It's good to be back.'" His last international performance was in October 1979 in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was released on DVD as "There's Gonna Be a God Damn Riot in Here". In March 1980 he gave his last reading at the Sweetwater club in Redondo Beach, which was released as "Hostage" on audio CD and "The Last Straw" on DVD. In 2010 the unedited versions of both "The Last Straw" and "Riot" were released as "One Tough Mother" on DVD.
