Here's all I can add to Sean's enthralling report about the 3rd anniverasry post-finale.

In front of the BILLY sign, first Tade started by himself, then the other 3 current Billys joined him and did the tap-dancing bit with the tutus that I remember Trent, David and Kiril doing at the press launch in April 2008. Exact same piece, I'm pretty sure.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt9VSW07 ... re=related Start at 2:23)

Then 3 giants, dressed in Electricity-type "costume," walked on behind them: Kiril, David and Trent. They took turns doing a balletic leap. So huge and powerful and gorgeous that, like Sean, I exclaimed out loud. Kiril could've leaped over Tade if he'd wanted to. Then, lined up along the front of the stage, the trio commenced doing umpteen pirouetes. They were all in sync, and much stronger than anything you ever saw a Billy do (even them). I could see Kiril best, and let me tell you, his outstretched leg was pumping like there was no tomorrow. It seemed like he could go on like that forever.

The bit lasted maybe one minute, but I as blown away nonetheless.
