It appears some of the 'language' has been replaced with gaps of silence ............. perhaps it is merely a technical glitch when the video was uploaded.................. :(

Thanks for finding this, kport. This number is always a pleasure to watch!
There is definitely a word missing at the 54 second mark. Strangely enough the music continues. :roll:

That is amusing! I will be interested to see what they do with all the language when it airs on the 23rd.

The promo video can be shown at any time, to any audience. The presentation on October 23rd will be shown after the magical 9:00PM cutoff. That means that less censorship is necessary.

Well, they could start it a few minutes before 9:00; the first swear isn't until a few minutes in. :)

Tonight as I was checking out the Movies On Demand section of my Cox cable service, I found that Billy Live is currently available for viewing for $2.99.

I am told by someone who works at my local PBS station that you'll be able to catch it on PBS Roku - Great Performances Programming at some point after tonight.
