Albatross (Monty Python sketch) frequently performed live. In the "Monty Python Live (Mostly)" stage show, Jones's character walks away from Cleese's character and into a pub where he encounters Eric Idle's character and the sketch segues into "Nudge, Nudge". It can also be seen in the film "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl" (1982). Cleese uses stronger language than in the original TV broadcast ("Of course you don't get fuckin' wafers with it!") and verbally abuses the customer. Eventually their dialogue is interrupted by the Colonel (Graham Chapman), who stops the sketch because of the "filthy" language. He tells Jones he is needed
Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl show were sourced from the 35mm prints, and thus suffered from poor quality due to the tape-to-film recording technology used in 1980 that increasingly became out-of-date. In 2008, the original 1,000 lines 1-inch video tapes were digitised and remastered to create a high-quality PAL DVD release. In Europe, this remastered widescreen transfer is available as a standalone Region 2 DVD. In North America, the film is available only as the older lesser-quality full-frame version taken from the 35mm prints, as part of a two-disc set titled "Monty Python Live", which includes the 1998 "Monty Python Live at Aspen" retrospective and
