The guy can act, play like 30 different instruments on a very high skill level and is genuinely funny. And he also seems like a genuinely nice guy. And he has an insane musical theory knowledge it seems? All around legend.
Ee's a long haired leaping gnome!
Agree, the ending made me look up an oldie: czcams.com/video/_SBue1DuCyc/video.html. The joy he brings is empowering!
@David Johnson you are right, "guy" is really mean to write, almost as bad as writing "mate" 😂😂 Who have ever liked to be called "a good guy"😝
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 or a good mate. He'd hate that, I'm sure.
@@joshtowns5630LOL yeah, from what I've seen in interviews and shows as well as one amazing live performance in Adelaide, he is very picky about addressing him with proper PC epithets 😂😂😂 I'm sure the human person mr/mrs/LGBTQ+/other David Johnson was trolling, but since it was so "notBillBailey", I couldn't resist treating it as a sincere complaint😂
Imagine having Bill as your music teacher
School of Folk.
Today kids. We shall be learning the Snoobernhausemflumpen.
I just started studying music and am watching eveything BB!
Nothing would get done from all the laughter and fun!
Scary
I've seen the first 3 minutes 400 times.
Bill Bailey restores my faith that outside the embarrassingly limited creative bubble that is America there is still real art and genius and wit in the world.
Couldn’t agree more. Just remember that you mean to say the United States. America is the whole continent, that is 66 other countries which you’ve discarded… talk about being limited and in a bubble ;-)
Maybe the states could be a bit limited but just remember most of the modern culture that the world interacts with comes from the good ole' U S of A. Granted we owe a great debt to European, Asian, African, and South American styles of culture but somehow it seems to land on our shores and find its footing. Great American culture and art is out there if you have the patience to find it.
@@Alpha-Andromeda no one asked
He's the bollocks, must get to see him, his humour and musicianship is second to none, fair singing voice as well, brilliant
Is it possible to watch him and not feel better about life? He is like prozac for my soul…
You know this is so true. I was feeling really low this morning and this popped up in my feed. I was just thinking this as I watched. The Monday blues disappeared
Bill Bailey has been bringing me joy now for about 30 years whenever I see him on TV/the internet/when I’m very lucky in a live show - a truly excellent human 🥰
I love how he just sets himself up with such an audacious orchestra, and then he just messes about with random out of place instruments, its absolutely glorious and I can see him having the time of his life, just dancing about being silly in the middle of such grandieouseness
I love how much Sandi Toksvig gets into his mandola performance at the end, takes her a few seconds to get the up-tempo change but then she's clapping and jiving along with genuine passion. And Mr Bean too haha, ol' Row starts clapping in double time!
Such a legendary comedian, his wit melded with musical virtuosity is basically unbeatable.
Amazing bloke. Also love Rowan Atkinson at the end clapping in an almost Mr Bean like mania, while genuinely keeping time with his feet. Two amazingly talented men.
Especially amazing is the confusion in his clapping with the sudden change in tempo shortly before.
And Kylie!
We are lucky to witness the end of an era. The world will still see talent, but not anything like was produced in the 20th century.
a true gift to the world from the UK!
so glad i was alive to see this wonderful man perform!
I hope you still *are* alive, my friend!
I read this comment with a sense of foreboding and doom that I’m not sure if you intended or were aware of giving off when you wrote it… and if you’re not still alive there’s probably not a lot of point in me replying and leaving this here (but I send your family best wishes in case you’re not here and they’re still reading your CZcams comments in your place!)… but I’m very much also glad I shared a consecutive period of aliveness with Bill Bailey, and have been fortunate enough to see him perform live a few times!
In the event you haven’t yet shuffled off this mortal coil, please take this as an invitation and encouragement to go and watch at least three Bill Bailey videos, or at least as many as it takes before you’re incapable of laughing out loud, and celebrate the pure joy he brings 😃
@@EmmaVB82 uh no. you need to seek therepy..
i mean only that we lived in the same timeline...
yeesh dude smoke a joint, get a Bjer lighten up a bit..
Für Elise in major key "like a Bavarian milking song" 😂😂 I love the guy, I dream of seeing him live at least one more time in my life.
Reminds me of Mozart, actually.😂
Sounds like an ice cream van
Did he cut off his ear??
not quite! i can see how you got the two muddled up though, i often do! i think perhaps you might be thinking of van gogh, the dutch painter? i could be wrong though, so don't take my word for it 😅 @@abbydone3803
The bit at the end....you know the entertainers are on a particular level....but Bill is untouchable. The man is a national treasure. Adore him :)
Rowan Atkinson is the only guy who deserves to be up there with Bill, both legends in their own lifetimes.
A bit late, seen this YT many times over the years. The backing group were amazing. I just smile at he whole event.
Wow that soloist’s voice was incredible!
yeah who is she
Florence Illi apparently
I don't know about this performance specifically, but Sean Lock wrote material for Bill Bailey. It wasn't until I found that out that I noticed how similarly wacky their comedy is. Check out some stage performances of Sean and imagine it's Bill speaking. It works!
RIP Sean.
They very close friends, kindred spirits.
Did not know that. Thanks for sharing
The two people I look for on TV panels are Sean and Bill
@@jimmymcguire8217Yeah, me too! 😊
RIP? 😱
@@Ragnarok6664 yeah, we lost him 16 August 😢
Bill Bailey is, and I can't stress this enough, a GENIUS! Thank you Bill for bringing a little joy to our lives!
A ridiculously intelligent and talented man! An absolute legend
I just love musical comedians.
Cause they're literally too perfect at making music, They get bored and start making fun along with it.
I'm an American and only discovered you in the past few years on shows like QI, Graham Norton and a few other " talk shows" , I never knew you were such a terrific musician!!! You've blown me away!!! Wow!
Same
you should watch "part troll". His best performance IMO

Hello across the pond there. Lots of love from the UK. X
Bill Bailey is arguably one of the most talented musicians in our current generation. He also knows how to party! 🤣💞
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments.. I really appreciate your love and support towards me and my career..🙈👌
I just discovered Bill Bailey 10 minutes ago. What a treat through the ears straight to the heart
Most probably the only video on CZcams without a single dislike, that's Bill for ya!
I wish Bill was the leader of our world.
That mandolin progression is wonderful.
The folk song on the mandola makes me tear up it's so beautiful and moving. What a treasure Bill is
Definitely, he deserved a Knighthood. National treasure.
I don't think I've seen anyone play it like a banjo before 😲😄
A genuine national treasure. Should be Sir Bill Bailey.
Well, what with him calling the royal house of England "these unelected tax-dodging sponges" in one of his stand-up shows, I'm pretty sure he's not aiming for knighthood at the moment. But a Sir he is, nonetheless.
@@stillrockin27 I would vote for him to be knighthooded.
@@stillrockin27 doesnt seem like ol charlie noticed, he was laughing his royal ass off
Crying with laughter right now. I forgot how funny Bill Bailey is! Prince Charles is most amused.
One of the best things I've ever seen live, Bill Bailey is an absolute joy. The little look admiration on Jim Carter's face is lovely at the end too.
Ending that with cow bells was just pure genius.
The introduction was hilarious. Made me think of a friend I had from south west england and he mentioned that almost no celebrities are from there. When one finally appears, they introduce him as from Hammersmith.
I saw him live in Australia , and it was better than I could have imagined. Brilliant man.
This was so much fun to watch. It looked like the whole audience was having a blast. Even Prince (now King) Charles and Camilla looked like they were having a genuine good laugh.
This is the kind of person I would love to chat with & have a drink.
He is multi-talented & a genuinely nice man.
Pure genius with an explosive set! Even that ONE recycled joke from his older sets (hand gestures and deli cheese) had everyone in stitches. Stay around Bill
Loved that bit. So good, he had to tell it again!
He's done the minor/major key thing on shows before and the only thing I'm not sure I've seen exactly is the brilliant hymn on different instruments, but this was a much more polished performance. It makes sense - if he did actually break from tour to do this one show then the material is likely to be some well polished routines. I don't care: Bill Bailey is a genius and I'm entertained and amazed no matter how many times I watch him. I'd love to see him perform live.
i think reprised rather than recycled ...
ive mentioned this to the world before regarding comedy ..
a musician can perform his intrically constructed piece over and over ... if there is a variation this is the subject of scrutiny ... laziness or variation
generally people want EXACTLY the same
comedy ...stand up /... he said the SAME joke !!!! ... wtf ... i expect originality every night ... more than einstein ...
einstein gave us 3 nice equations
night 4 of einsteins tour ... chased from the building by a booing mob demanding original stuff
Yeah West Country part was also in his old stand up (Part Troll) He just altered it slightly, I still thoroughly enjoy the guy but would love to see a completely original set from him
I saw him do this show in Australia, he had a woman come out and sing with him, but he got the whole band out for this audience.
I'm lying here at 2am watching bills amazing performance with headphones on...and when the folk song drops i can't help but shake around in bed....forgetting my wife is right beside scared outta her brain haha
She did the same in my bed, too.
Out of all the people on that stage.... only Bill Bailey can do all that and more. How inadequate must those people feel? Bill learnt something like 5 totally new instruments during lock down alone.
I don't think anyone makes me as happy as Bill Bailey.
He did the eulogy at a friends funeral, it was the most bitter sweet experience of my life
He shredded on that mandolin!!!!
It’s a Mandola which has a deeper sound than a Mandolin.
Bill is the best person in the world.
come on people ... could you even come close ?
celebrate with me
bill bailey for president !!!!!
Of the world? I'm in!
9:29 Holy shit that's such a banger, i love it
Bill Bailey...an gentleman and an absolute genius.
A national treasure!!.
The genius of Bill Bailey is often massively underrated.
Royal variety performance closer suggests at least someone is paying attention
Charles fucking loves Bailey. You can tell.
Wow. As a Yank, he was just that funny unassuming guy on that British show QI. Cheers and thanks.
mmmmm
@@AdamBechtol Kiki
Check out BBC 'Black Books' or repeats on CZcams / Dead Parrot. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
O my God This man makes me cry with exuberance.
Is there anything this man can't do or play? Incredible. Thanks so much for sharing.
I agree with all the praise deservedly heaped upon BB in these comments. He is indeed a musical genius, very funny and seems to be an all round decent chap. We're such fans that we paid to go and see him once on a European tour. Trouble is, we'd seen almost all of what he did before. He really needs to write a whole load of new material before his next tour.
My most favourite human after my daughter. He is truly a unique gentleman
Bill Bailey is utterly brilliant in every sense of the word that doesn't involve a sudden case of nuclear fusion.
I have never seen such a great example of the sonic differences between various scales. Brilliant.
How can so much talent reside in just one person?
Yes he is a genius, both intellectual and musical. Only found him tonight. Didnt know what I was missing all these years. Good remedy when quoting him 'it could be better'. 😂 Now realised I'm more English than I had ever knew. Greetings from South Africa.
Yeah, he's great. He acts too, he was in a comedy show called 'Black Books'.
Does anyone dislike Bill Bailey? I for one love him!
That is a daft question, when we all know the answer.
He is the bald genius with the long hair.
He got an honorary degree recently from University of Bath. Well deserved!
He's briliant!
The man should rule countries.
Except he’s too busy being fabulously talented and bringing great joy to all.
Oddly enough that should be what rulers do strive for.
If Sandi and Rowen are present, we all know we are in the presence of “royalty”, in its best sense.
Mind you, the other real royals seemed to have a grand time.
More power to you Bill forever and ever.
👽🐈⬛💕
Bill Bailey is a legend. Good grief
I don't know what it is about "Jerusalem" but it always gives me goosebumps; even when Eric Idle and John Cleese sing it while standing in a cardboard box.
This is definitely a once in a lifetime show for the audience. Lucky are those
Playing 'Jerusalem' on the cow bells - Definitely a West Country boy, born & raised!
Absolutely brilliant!! Hes coming to Newcastle Australia where we live so Im off to buy tickets!! I love the man to bits he is such an incredible talent and a very funny man!!
This man is a genius.
Blows you away doesnt he - so bloody funny and talented.
That song at the end was so good! It’s a goal to see BB live!
This guy is a genius..
The fact that England's biggest Legends are there including the royals should tell you about this man's amazing talents both in music and comedy, wow bravo.. 👏 👏 👏
As always, he is completely magnificent, and deserves all his considerable success.
The Amazing, Brilliant and Downright clever Bill Bailey. I can't wait 'til he can start touring again. I always look forward to his gigs.
It's one of my great regrets that we will never see Bill Bailey and Victor Borge on the same stage together.
No one in the audience would survive the expectable laughter to death caused by lack of breath. 😄
How have I never heard of this man before?!?
Nice to see the king having a larf!
There are a handful of artists past and present, that are so skillful that its been said they could sing the phone book and create a world wide hit. Id say BB is the only person I have come across to date - that could play the phone book for the same result!
Wow look at all those stars on stage and all of those great magicians...oh and Dynamo is also there
Extraordinary
Our amazing genius. Just a joy to listen to. We are so lucky to have humans like this sharing their incredible talent.
Every knows here's a genius Good Knight.
bill a music man and comedian with depth of knowledge, liked the accents story most of all
What an amazing man he is. I wish to one day approach the level of musical skill he has in just the tip of his pinky finger.
In my opinion, Bill Bailey is on a par with the greatest comedian of all time... billy connolly....both just brilliantly hilarious and musically talented naturally...
Met Bill on the train years ago. I just wished I appreciated his comedy as much then
Absolute comic genius, so original and talented, and a great guy to boot, thank you Bill, you make the world a much nicer place; with the greatest respect.
He's just a star and seems like a great bloke !
He is full on brilliant.
The guy is so talented. The royals must be sat there thinking “we are absolutely useless.”
So clearly the greatest human being of all time all you can do is laugh
Bill Bailey a very talented man, he can play a concofany of instruments has an ear for music and comedy, he must spend hours practicing.
GENIUS!!!! BLOODY GENIUS!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
A living legend!
"That's just a book of Pam Eyres poems yer Wurzle!" 😂
Jerusalem will never be the same again... LOVELY!
He can play more instruments than I can even name. Nobody could have ended that show any better.
Bill Baily eh.. Make ya proud to be British!
He's so talented, brilliant in all he does. Great actor and a nature lover. Love him! British talent at it's best.
Yeàh Bill is a Bath gem.I used to go to Moles
Gotta love the Dane. Sandi live long and prosper!
11:06 I love that Rowan Atkinson stopped then went "oh whoops I missed 2 out of the 874 claps I just did."
I agree VERY talented in many ways
Ye gods and little fishes, that man is talented! Marvelous!
Took me a while to realise Jerusalem is the music from Civilization 5
