I'm still putting this together, I remember wanting to watch this but getting the time zones wrong and missing the entire thing, just getting the last bit, with the host thanking people for watching in front of a crowd, i think it might have been live. I should still have that 10th birthday issue somewhere, there should be more info inside of it.
