"LIVE WITH(OUT) MONTY PYTHON"
Of course, you can play the 16 classic Python songs and two sketches straight through, just like the "More Naughty Bits" disc. Among the songs and sketches are: the "Lumberjack Song," "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," the "Camelot Song" and the "Parrot Sketch." If you want to partcipate in the songs or sketches, just activate the karaoke function. With it, you can sing/talk along with the Pythons or switch the spoken audio tracks off and have a go at it yourself. You can also turn on/off the karaoke-style subtitles to help you if you don't remember all of the words (but what self-respecting Python fan wouldn't?). Note that the disc's interactive function means that this is a Digital Video CD-i disc, and not a cross-platform VideoCD.
As with "More Naughty Bits," "Live Without Monty Python" has been available in Europe since 1994 and was produced by Daedalus CD-i Productions in association with Python (Monty) Pictures, Ltd. The disc was also recently released in the United States and sells for $29.98. "Entertainment Weekly" gave it a slightly higher rating than "More Naughty Bits," but not by much: a solid B, mostly for the improved interactivity. TRACK LISTING:

Live
Without Monty Python
As
with the "More Naughty Bits" disc, the instructions, control
system, and on-screen menu are somewhat confusing. Also the on-screen
lyric prompts are apparently not that smooth either. In addition, the
audio quality on this disc has suffered somewhat due to the remastering
that had to be done to make the songs interactive.
