“BTW, I’d pay ANYTHING to see the Pythons if they gave a final tour in the U.S.”
Sadly, that looks very unlikely. It’s been hard enough to convince them to do the London shows. The last show at the 02 is already being billed as Python’s last ever live performance.
Can’t imagine Michael Palin or Terry Jones wanting to do another American tour, maybe a one off performance if the London shows do well though? Never say never.
Depending on where you live, you can see the final London show broadcast live on 7/20 in select movie theaters. Or rebroadcasts in other cities later. You can search for showtimes at this link.
