This has got to be the ULTIMATE live recording of the Python gang, plus the fantastic Neil Innes (Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band), suplying songs.
Every sketch is performed to the highest standard standard, especially 'The Dead Parrot' sketch, which has John Cleese displaying the perfect amount of manic indignation as he tries to convince the shop assistant that it is in fact an EX PARROT. This has to be the finest performance of this sketch ever.
Some of the perfect classics are among others the sublime 'Four Yorkshirmen' and the scary funny 'Albatros', do you get wafers with it?
The energy that the team put in to this performance is second to none, and probably helped by the intamacy of the venue as compared to later performances in vast venues like The Hollywood Bowl.
If you still haven't got this recording in your collection, feel ashamed. If you have not got any live recordings of Monty Python yet, then this will be a perfect start, but be prepared to be dissapointed that later recordings will not quite come up to this high standard.

These days all successful TV comedy troupes take their comedy on a theatre tour almost immediately, however Monty Python were the first to do this and certainly the most successful, they eventually played at the Hollywood Bowl. This recording finds them at The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, one of London's most famous theatres.
Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry ones and Michael Palin are joined by Carol Cleveland whom also featured in the TV show and Neil Innes of the Bonzo Dog Doo-dah Band with a musical interlude.
The performance is a kind of Monty Python's Best of featuring such brilliant sketches as `Nudge, Nudge', `Travel Agent', `Bruces', `the Lumberjack Song' and `the Parrot Sketch'. Also performed is the `Four Yorkshiremen Sketch' written by Chapman and Cleese for the `At last the 1948 Show' however it is of suitable quality to fit right at home here. Fantastic stuff, say no more.

I love this. because I know it well it works for me in audio form but I can imagine a new listener might struggle with tiny parts of it.
