On the Road is the seventh comedy album released by United States comedian George Carlin. It was recorded on October 3, 1976 at the Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, California. The album was released in April 1977, and was also included as part of the 1999 The Little David Years (1971-1977) box set.
The original LP included a "libretto" - a word-for-word transcript of the album.
On the Road would be Carlin's last album for five years. He suffered a heart attack in 1978 and took some time off afterwards.
A warning label that says "R: Recommended Adult Listening" appears on the cover of the album. This was an early example of warning people that albums contain questionable content before the Parental Advisory label was invented.
