What jealous silly fools gave this a thumbs down. He was a great pianist a great showman. Wonderful personality. He had the ability to laugh at himself. A humble talented person
What a brilliant performance by Liberace. To play when the clown is dancing in front of him. Wonderful and so sad. I’ll always miss you Liberace You brought happiness to so many people. You deserve a Statue.
I am 84 and he is still alive for me, still rare and daring in his humanity. This glory of sweetness, I never saw this piano puppet pairing of two artists before Sheer genius. Among the top creations that feed the human spirit.
Wow. I was really depressed for the past week.....just in the dumps. I saw this and laughed so hard and cried and for the first time in a long time I feel like things are gonna be ok
Everything eventuality will be OK. Depression is hard, but finding joy in things like this, is what helps get us through. Better days come from joy are ahead.💥💥💥😎😎😎
Bravo!!!! Younger people just don't have the memories that we who were around do. It was so different. Many of us almost never went out for a regular daily meal or even for the evening. Instead, we might fix some popcorn or other simple treats, turn on the television, and the entire family would sit around and be entertained by absolutely legendary musicians, singers, actors, comedians, etc., through the various programs available. It's actually almost overwhelming to look back and realize in many cases we were watching and hearing some of the very best in their fields...maybe ever!!!!!
I have shared this with everyone I know and watched anytime I need a glow. Sheer genius. A treasure for anyone with a human heart who has had their joy shattered by life yet finds a simple sweet dance still possible. Lovely
This is amazing! For those of you educated and childish people poking fun, saying the puppeteer should be fired, or saying intellectually thrilling things like “this is stupid”, then, clearly, this form of art and entertainment wasn’t designed for you. As for the comment that adults shouldn’t be laughing at the marionette, let me inform you that the use of marionettes for entertainment (of all groups) goes back to around 2,000 years BC. Go get yourself an education. This is talent at its finest.
I totally agree and that puppeteer is really, really talented! That's what made Liberace so great, always sharing the stage with others with the only goal to amaze the audience....
This is a very rare and classic video of Liberace doing one of my all time favorite songs .Truly , Liberace was "Mr. Showmanship " .And his Talent for playing the piano ,always showed through his music .RIP Liberace ,I miss you .
Oh my goodness!! My Mom referred this to me. WHAT A PERFORMANCE!! I so wish that our younger generation would learn to appreciate this kind of art!!! Such an entertainer. There is a HUGE difference between an entertainer and a performer. My name is Jill Lyons "and I stand behind this message"
Hi Jill, I completely agree. Normally I don't like clowns, but this togetherness with Liberace is entertainment at its best. I sure hope that also the younger generation is watching and appreciating this particular clip. 🎵 Regards from Germany. 🤗
I can STILL remember the feeling that I experienced, as I sat in the showroom at the Hilton, watching Liberace and Barclay and Toto perform this ... it was touching and beautiful.
@@2see2hear2be Hey Adam ... I'm an Entertainer today because of Liberace ... I could write paragraphs about his importance in my life. If you have a few minutes, you might enjoy my Liberace Episode in my CZcams series - czcams.com/video/GLix9WRjO64/video.html
There used to be a performer at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville. He performed on a balcony 2 times a night. He was brilliant, and entertaining, but no LIBERACE!! REALLY, WHO COULD BE??
What I like best is that it’s Liberace on solo piano. There’s so much video available on this great musician/entertainer but even in his early b&w days he almost always plays with accompaniment. Nothing wrong with that but nice to hear him alone also.
I have taken a rageddy ann doll, put it in my hand and brought it to life for my 4 yr old daughter. The Chachi, pure artist, entertainer and fashion way before it became chic. Sometimes people cant understand real talent or a good show, this was both.
Amazing and just so beautiful and creative. Simple and yet inspiring. You were the greatest Lee. Rest in Peace. I can't imagine the piano you are playing in heaven ( I bet it is all made of Gold ).
IMO this was amazing! I almost didn't watch it but am certainly very glad I did. I think Lee is due a lot of credit for sharing the number with Toto and letting him have the spotlight and basically stealing the show.
Now that was one of the most beautiful performances I've seen yet! First, I love Lee's Pink Sparkly outfit with matching Pink shoes. That puppeteer was amazing! He really brought life to the marionette. Best I've ever seen.
I watched this special on TV with my family in 1978...and adopted the name "Toto" as my clown name as I had taken a clown class not long before I saw this. Clowning turned into my career...and as of now in 2018 I am celebrating my 33rd year as a full time clown. There are folks in this world who have never called me anything but "Toto"...
OH MY GOSH....this was fantastic. That clown was so darn cute. What a great piece of entertainment. Thank you, thank you for putting this on your site.
Wow! I've never seen this before.....truly amazing. That is truly a show that will not be matched...simply incredible. I'd like to know the genius that came up with this wonderful idea. I have not seen anything like this in a very long time
The clown is so human like with the movement and facial expressions - top marks to the Puppeteer and to Liberace himself for the interactions between the Medley played and the clown's response.
Este vídeo me recordó mi infancia!! Gracias !! Porque hoy los niños ven cosas taaan diferentes.,pero sobretodo tan agresivas los padres lo permiten . Aquí volví al tiempo donde teníamos imaginación ,sana y fantástica GRACIAS !!!!; G. L. M.
This is my favorite Liberace piece, so perfect, so emotional....a wonderful supremely talented man, who gave so much beauty and love to this troubled world. When he picked notes they somehow sounded unlike any other.
3:30 -- I wonder how many people back then got the significance of the music there, and how many would get it today. Hint: It's "Vesti la giubba" from the opera 'Pagliacci.'
I think the people knew the music..or at least heard it before..but today??you are right.. The opera scene is where Pagliaci is putting on his make up and probably considering the fate of himself knowing his wife is betraying him

People who are afraid of clowns?
Well said
How easy it is for humans to JUDGE one another!! Superiority complex on their part, who gave thumbs down!! This is TERRIFIC!!!!!! 👍👍👍
@@lkctom2546 or…gay piano players!👏🏿🌈👏🏿🌈👏🏿🌈👏🏿
Was a internet surfer. Who didn't know how to play a musical instrument That didn't give a thumbs up ?
What a brilliant performance by Liberace. To play when the clown is dancing in front of him. Wonderful and so sad. I’ll always miss you Liberace You brought happiness to so many people. You deserve a Statue.
Just amazing. So simple yet so powerful. Sadly todays entertainers have lost touch with this style of entertainment.
e b there are none left...not real ones.
Josh White all musicians/ entertainers are valid. The crowed changes and wants new things. Your Preferences shouldn’t invalidate other people’s art.
leokimvideo Amassing indeed. Those were wonderful times back then.
Amazing puppeteering. I've never seen anything on this level of talent from both a puppeteer and pianist.
Oh my heart…. Liberace was incredible. Played with his heart and soul. Magical. May he Rest In Peace. ❤️

The magic of Liberace
Everything eventuality will be OK. Depression is hard, but finding joy in things like this, is what helps get us through. Better days come from joy are ahead.💥💥💥😎😎😎
Just lost for words fab
Bravo this was entertainment
i was lucky enough to see Liberace in England and bring in the clowns was part of the show. absolutely brilliant. greatly missed
Bravo!!!!

This is wonderful. I have watched it twice and I'm just in awe.

Josh, I agree wholeheartedly. I found it absolutely enchanting and humorous simultaneously.

Another amazing suit

That clown is so real like it is a human who works the clown is very good.
Aww so sweet. RIP good and dear man.
amazing tears are running out my eyes
Myself included! Tears of laughter and tears of brilliantcey.
I never get tired of watching this.
I don't remember the last time I genuinely enjoyed a video as much as this
I can STILL remember the feeling that I experienced, as I sat in the showroom at the Hilton, watching Liberace and Barclay and Toto perform this ... it was touching and beautiful.
That must have been so special. I'm glad you have this wonderful memory.
I so wish I could have seen this wonderful performance....I can't imagine what that was like in person
Lucky!!!

Allways brings tears to the forefront in a rush of warmth. . . . .
He was an incredible showman and a musical/pianistic genius.
speechlessly beautiful
🎹🎶 Lovely & wonderful 🎶🎹
❤️ Thank U very much ❤️
🇹🇭 from Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭.
Simply astounishing👏🏆🤩
The glittering Pink Jacket, Trousers and Cape is so beautiful.
Amazing.
Heartbreaking.
Beautiful.
So entertaining, what all around spectacular entertainment!!
I was lucky enough to see Liberace in concert live one time and he was super fantastic what talent!.
There used to be a performer at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville. He performed on a balcony 2 times a night. He was brilliant, and entertaining, but no LIBERACE!! REALLY, WHO COULD BE??
beautifully done, by one of the very best if not the best at the piano. he is gone but his music will live on.
JUST WONDERFUL BRAVO!!!!
Wonderful. I remember seeing this many years ago. Thank you for letting us see it again.
Pure genius
Wonderful, this man has been totally inspirational for my piano playing journey
You have learnt from the best who ever played
Sweet, well done!!
What I like best is that it’s Liberace on solo piano. There’s so much video available on this great musician/entertainer but even in his early b&w days he almost always plays with accompaniment. Nothing wrong with that but nice to hear him alone also.
Back in the day, we saw him on many shows. He was wonderful!
Wonderful beyond words. Brilliant performance.

I'm late to the party but I finally made it here💃🏻 BROVO LIBERACE👏 my friend Lee. Brilliant show. Thank you Toto and your puppetmaster too.
No one today comes close to a performance like this. This is one of a kind. The way the clown looks up at its handler is amazing.
This was so beautiful to watch.
Just want to hang out with Lee and have a chat. What a talent
very well done.
Beautiful. I’m here. 🦋

He was such a wonderful showman and artist. Will never forget seeing him live in Vancouver, BC. Thanks for the memories ❤❤🇨🇦

Thanks for sharing your story with us, Mr. Gacy.
Reminds me of a few scenes from the Joker movie
OH MY GOSH....this was fantastic. That clown was so darn cute. What a great piece of entertainment. Thank you, thank you for putting this on your site.
Beautiful
So beautifully done! Thank you for downloading.
And loved the little peek-a-boo with Liberace! ❤
Wow! I've never seen this before.....truly amazing. That is truly a show that will not be matched...simply incredible. I'd like to know the genius that came up with this wonderful idea.
I have not seen anything like this in a very long time
Amazing

JUST WOW!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Oh that music is so pretty what a talented person. Wat a waste he had to go too soon. We miss his beautiful music.
Yeah, he still had at least a good 20 years of life in him
Very much so.
Awesome puppeteering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another of my many favorites. Still watching in 2023 and in the years to follow ! ❤
Liberace was amazing, but was also one of the best puppeteer performances ive seen
Bravooooo!!!!!!!!
Lovely
Simplemente maravilloso! 👌👌👌
❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Marvelous Maestro ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 🇪🇸

Phenomenal! Really made the clown come to life
Un genio irrepetible .
Wonderful
ME HA ENCANTADO.............................
Sorry I didn't get to see him live!
I want that outfit but modified into a dress. 💕 Beautiful pink sparkly outfit.
Hermoso espectáculo💓👍👍
Love this act w Todo the Clown. Very entertaining & well done. Thanks for posting.
Love Liberace always❤️🥰
absolutely magical!
Great puppeteer! Excellent number.
Liberace você é o teclado da beleza e da alegria e muito mais Obrigada
brilliant!
❤❤❤👍👍👍
legend performance and sound ever.
Remember seeing him in concert & this song, truly awesome.. He was Great..
Liberace un ser de luz verlo y escucharlo te ilumina el alma. lastima que esa maldita enfermedad lo mato como a tantos talentosos
The world was poorer for his passing. RIP
R.I.P you were a legend
I wonder what happened to the clown since Shaw's passing. Not much information about Shaw overall. I hope the little guy has a good home.
P
Hope so,
Another magician (David) bought him and the clown sits i a warehouse. So Sad.
I don't like clowns, but this one was kinda cute. I'm not dead.
05022020wed -Nothing Comes Close. Send in e Clowns got better n better n better with Liberace.
Fantastic
3:30 -- I wonder how many people back then got the significance of the music there, and how many would get it today.
Hint: It's "Vesti la giubba" from the opera 'Pagliacci.'
I think the people knew the music..or at least heard it before..but today??you are right..
The opera scene is where Pagliaci is putting on his make up and probably considering the fate of himself knowing his wife is betraying him
Liberace would come to Colorado Springs at the Broadmoor Hotel you could hardly get tickets
