Love the showmanship in doing it with too few people - the touch which makes this brilliant is two of them having to dash from one end to the other. It's all really in that tiny detail...
Genius, utter GENIUS. Who else other than Bill Bailey could fill the Royal Albert Hall and present classical music played so irreverently but so beautifully.
I always think,"I'll watch one more..." then I'm captivated by his blend of humor and music and constantly amazed at the furthering depths of his comedy...then I watch another...
I just HAD to watch and listen to this again! I am definitely 'in love' with Bill Bailey's comedy. This was 'genius'! Thank you for sharing it with the world. This Canadian really appreciates it.
Yes, Bill Bailey a real genius. So clever musically and to make that funny is a true gift. You have to be a really confident muso to do that. And good clean fun.
bill bailey is a national treasure. endlessly talented, incredibly thoughtful and rather kind natured. proving hippies aren't useless slackers. he's bloody kryptonite to suits.
Bill's bloody brilliant. Reminds me fondly of seeing Victor Børge live a few times. Bailey = animal lover and Jonathan Creek's best mate...what a good guy
Look at him. His expressions alone almost move me to tears. Someone compared him to Jack Black on here... Black could only wish to hope to aspire to one hundredth of the talent of this force of nature.
Bill Bailey is amazing. I'm also reminded if synthesiser group art of noise not because of the cowbells but the lady playing the piano is Anne Dudley, a member of the group.

Bill Bailey is the eccentric music teacher we all deserved but never had 👏
haha could you imagine him as your music teacher?!! I wouldn't have gone to the other classes.
I WISH he could be my music teacher NOW ❤😂❤😂❤
I dare say, for once the perfect level of cowbell has been reached!
Id say it needs just a smidge more
Acceptable amount of cowbell👌
A private prescription or on the NHS or in fact the RAH
One can never have enough cowbell.
Always need more Cowbell!!
I don't know where I've heard that song before. It rings a bell, though.
Hugh Campbell 😂😂😂
I 👀 what you did there🤣
get out
You got there before everyone else!
Booooooooooo. See yourself out pls!
I love just how pleased he looks when he gets to his part.

+StonyRC I think you mean "UDDER" genius... :P
caesar2164 GET OUT

Piffy the Bell Ringer was the original & best!

@@caesar2164 Damn it, I'm 3 years late on making this remark!
Something about the ornery grin on his face for the tiny high note bits is just marvelously entertaining
Bill Bailey is a national treasure
The rhythm section, or "The Bell End"
“The four dick tips “ probably wouldn’t be a good group name.
That's not to be sniffed at ...
How about, ‘The Herd”, or even, “The Heard.”
Gotta love Bill Bailey the closest thing to a real live Muppet you will ever see genius
Is there no end of the talent of this man? Genius.
There’s a bell end
Is it just me that thinks when Bill Bailey grins he could be mistaken for Tim Minchin’s dad? They have that same exuberance.
He's actually future Tim Minchin who has travelled back in time
And they are both very clever musically. They are both very funny too especially Bill with his cow bells.
🇦🇺🇦🇺😷😷
I was thinking Tim’s older brother! That same impish intelligence and charisma. 😄
Like Jach Nich's Sack in the Shining
Now do it with cows attached.
Finally More Cowbell
bwaha i spit out my drink
@@lori6700I've got a drummer friend who may well agree..😂
JE Hoyes, Extreme purism is not always a virtue.
semireckless LOL. Three years. Comments have a life of their own. If I’d be commenting now, it would be something about Soy Bells.
I had such a big grin watching this, that the happiness I felt, almost made me cry :)
Bill and the rhythm section are all bloody brilliant...
cant stop smiling, when the little bell rings 😊
i love how much fun they all were having doing this.
I always think,"I'll watch one more..." then I'm captivated by his blend of humor and music and constantly amazed at the furthering depths of his comedy...then I watch another...
Comedy and Music to lift the spirit. Only one Bill Bailey...
I love how one of them readies the others when Bill gets out the big bell.
I love how they constantly move around to get to the sound! This is pure genius!
Very good. Bill and people like him help bring music to the masses. Like Classic Rock in the 70's.
I got a fever...and the only cure is....more cowbell.
Insane skill levels. How many people get the inside joke.. Of people, so talented they can set up a mini-olympics of improv, musical skill...
This makes me so utterly happy
Bill Bailey is not a national treasure, he's a bloody treasure to humanity!
If there was ever a moment of epicness .....this was it, immeasurably excellent
discovered this back in 2012. Still moves me to tears, of laugh and poetry.
The number of times they nearly pick up the wrong bell! I was on the edge of my seat!
I wonder if it needs More Cowbell?
Bilk is a talented guy. I love watching him. Quick witted too.
Always find bill bailey incredibly inspiring
I just HAD to watch and listen to this again! I am definitely 'in love' with Bill Bailey's comedy. This was 'genius'! Thank you for sharing it with the world. This Canadian really appreciates it.
There is NO ONE like Bill Bailey--glad to know I'm not the only one who loves this humour. Where are you from?
I'm not Canadian?? Thanks.
Bill is a national treasure! This is a masterpiece.
If you're wondering where comedy, quality music and genuine fun intersect here it is. I'd be happy to pay the ticket price for an evening like this.
One of my favorite memories from University days was being part of a bell choir. Good times.
watching this puts a smile on my face every single time :)
Got to love bill who else could make you smile in these times of crapness
Well done Bill and boys!!!!
I bet they had such a great laugh practicing that prior to the show.
Yes, Bill Bailey a real genius. So clever musically and to make that funny is a true gift. You have to be a really confident muso to do that. And good clean fun.
This song always makes me cry for some reason. And bill bailey always makes me laugh :) dammit bill STOP CONFUSING MY BRAIN :P 😭🤣
Still need more cowbells.
bill bailey is a national treasure. endlessly talented, incredibly thoughtful and rather kind natured. proving hippies aren't useless slackers. he's bloody kryptonite to suits.
This will satisfy those who keep crying out for more cowbell!
This is in the top ten most wholesome videos on youtube.
Bill is unique in the world of entertainment.
That was sublime 👌
they all appeared to have immense pleasure for the duration of that performance
This was sooo clever. Beautiful❤
Bill's bloody brilliant. Reminds me fondly of seeing Victor Børge live a few times. Bailey = animal lover and Jonathan Creek's best mate...what a good guy
Made my night. Few comedians if any are as uplifting as Khan.
So remarkably cool !
Bill Bailey swan of the greatest ever.
Heyo
You are sir are a GENIUS ! , utter GENIUS !
We need more cow bell! said Will Ferrell. Saturday Night Live. 🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic!
how something can be both hillarious and hauntingly beautiful at the same time ...
Never thought I'd find four men playing with their bells so funny
How perfect! How fun! what a delight!
how can one dislike this let alone 86.
Look at him. His expressions alone almost move me to tears.
Someone compared him to Jack Black on here... Black could only wish to hope to aspire to one hundredth of the talent of this force of nature.
JB, KG and BB would make awesome comedy music imo.
KG?
Kyle Gass, Jack Black's comedy partner and band member, amazing musician in his own right
You've not seen Tenacious D have ya?
jack black has different style of humour and its also great
I'm still losing it over here at the "Alpine Roadies"
what is the enjoyment of music we have reached in 2020
normaly i would say needs more cowbell but not sure how you could add any more
There´s NEVER too much cow bell!! :D
Exchange the piano for more cowbell.
They need to add at least 1 bull-bell....for the dong.
Love bill bailey and this video
Bill Bailey is amazing. I'm also reminded if synthesiser group art of noise not because of the cowbells but the lady playing the piano is Anne Dudley, a member of the group.
Undeniable genius 😍😍😍
Needs.... More cowbell.
Classic Bill mix of skill and comedy ❤
Delightful.
Simply a genius
He cured my fever =))
He exacerbated by stomach pains through laughing too much! :-)
Where o where us Bill now, when the Nation needs him the most. ?
Christopher Walken's vision come to life..! :D Wonderful!
I find this truly magical while at the same time it reminds me of dark days in the past
First time I’ve ever not had a fever for more cowbell
This music cured my fever.
Brilliant Mr Bailey.
Brilliant .
Such effort put in to this entertainment!
They played that very bell
The Legend that is Ralph Salmins accompanied by Bill bailey
Absolute cheer up when he rings the higher tone bell =D
This is really wonderful
unexpectedly lovely
I don't even know music and I loved this. This is creative art.
This man is a genius!!
3:41 Love how the guy next to Bill flinches before Bill rings his xD
Wonderful
The fact your watching this 9 years later 😢
I am listening to this for school
I am laughing so much. Bill is fun, fun, fun
This is such a MOOd
A friend of mine has a set of these. She started this kind of musical act in the 1960s. She can play edelweiss on the bells
I was thinking of moving to switzerland, and sp o decided to make a pro and con list.. so far on the pro side I have; the flags a big plus
-I gotta have more cowbell!-
The legacy of Gerard Hoffnung is in safe hands.
Perfection
I need more cowbell !!

That was such a beautiful and funny thing to watch 😂
