There's an excellent behind the scenes account of how the Pythons made their live debut in 1971 on Colin Richardson's blog. Well worth reading. Link is

Colin also hoped that something will be done to mark the 40th of the live debut in 2 years time. I think that would be a good thing too. Maybe a plaque at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry and a talk there. I hope something like that happens.
