Watched the 50th live last night, then watched the 40th this morning on Peacock. My initial observations:

1. Peacock excised about a third of special (basically all the music plus a few other things).

2. What's left is pretty great (other than the Californians).

3. Comparing the two specials, pretty clear that (WU aside), the last ten years have been a very fallow period for the show.

A moment of silence for both Thomas Shales, and the LFNY book he and James Andrew Miller wrote that had its last update with the 40th Anniversary year.

It literally has been sitting next to my chair every day for the past 20 months or so.
