40th Anniversary Celebration (2006)

"This a damned fine performance all round, and with excellent camerawork and superb and dynamic audio (in Dolby stereo, Dolby Digital & DTS 5.1). Neil Innes clearly made every effort to be sure that this historic occasion would be recorded with all possible attention to detail. Stephen Fry has a jolly time doing a few key numbers in his stylish lyrical spoken word - nailing the very complex rap of "Rhinocratic Oaths" with aplomb, and adding his trademark touch of class to "Sport (The Odd Boy)" and "The Sound of Music". Adrian Edmondson is spectacular in "The Strain" and does a great job with "My Pink Half Of The Drainpipe", "Tent" and "Mr Slater's Parrot". The dynamic nature of their late frontman Vivian Stanshall is proven in that four highly talented and very different artists have been enlisted to take his role in this gala. The original Bonzo band members all present with gusto and inventiveness." (fan-recensie van Amazon) NB: onder de extra begeleiders bevindt zich Mickey Simmonds (ex-Fish, ex-Camel)
