The album was released the year before Williams's critically acclaimed performance in the motion picture, Good Morning, Vietnam. He had been shifting his focus from stand-up comedy to filmmaking for several years, and A Night at the Met would be one of his last major concerts during the 1980s. The show is a mix of Williams's quick-witted humor and voice work, with rants on the topics of drugs, sex, world affairs and parenting. References to the events and people of the 1980s are heavily mentioned throughout: U.S. President, Ronald Reagan, Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, and General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, are central to many of the jokes.
