Have this on an old vinyl--scratched from numerous parties. Wonderful to have it again in mint condition and being enjoyed by children now in their late teens -- early 20s.

This review is from: Live at Drury Lane (Audio CD)

This is probably the best-known and best-loved live comedy album EVER. Generations of comedians and listeners have grown up listening to this album. Sketches included are the best from the television series, including The Parrot Sketch, The Lumberjack Song, Nudge Nudge, and Argument. All the television cast are here performing their material, although it's hard on audio to work out where Terry Gilliam's contributions would have fitted in. Even though this was recorded in 1974, before the public could buy video recordings of the shows, the audience are clesrly familiar with the material from listening to other audio recordings, and laugh and cheer when they hear their favourite sketch coming up.

The performances here are larger and more exaggerated than their television counterparts. Cleese's use of bad language being cranked up to eleven, and phrases like "four thousand volts" being replaced by "four million volts". The cast sound like they are enjoying it just as much as the audience, and this is well worth buying and listening to forty times, or at least until you know all the sketches off by heart!
