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.
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...
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...
Wonderfully done by Bill Bailey here. I hope that the Swiss embassy seen this. They would've approved. I have this dvd at home, and it always makes me smile, especially the unloved animals sections. Very clever writing.
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.
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.
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'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.
The amount of rehearsal these 5 had to do must have been quite a lot, Bill really is a wasted talent, love him. His faces when he does the higher notes though xD
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!!
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 ❤😂❤😂❤
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.
+StonyRC I think you mean "UDDER" genius... :P
caesar2164 GET OUT
HAHAHAHAHA
Piffy the Bell Ringer was the original & best!

I love just how pleased he looks when he gets to his part.
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!
Is there no end of the talent of this man? Genius.
There’s a bell end
Bill Bailey is a national treasure
Something about the ornery grin on his face for the tiny high note bits is just marvelously entertaining
I had such a big grin watching this, that the happiness I felt, almost made me cry :)
Bill Bailey is not a national treasure, he's a bloody treasure to humanity!
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...
Gotta love Bill Bailey the closest thing to a real live Muppet you will ever see genius
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.”
Wonderfully done by Bill Bailey here. I hope that the Swiss embassy seen this. They would've approved. I have this dvd at home, and it always makes me smile, especially the unloved animals sections. Very clever writing.
Comedy and Music to lift the spirit. Only one Bill Bailey...
Very good. Bill and people like him help bring music to the masses. Like Classic Rock in the 70's.
Bill and the rhythm section are all bloody brilliant...
I love how they constantly move around to get to the sound! This is pure genius!
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.
i love how much fun they all were having doing this.
cant stop smiling, when the little bell rings 😊
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.
discovered this back in 2012. Still moves me to tears, of laugh and poetry.
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
If there was ever a moment of epicness .....this was it, immeasurably excellent
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.
how something can be both hillarious and hauntingly beautiful at the same time ...
This makes me so utterly happy
Yes, udderly
The number of times they nearly pick up the wrong bell! I was on the edge of my seat!
Bill is a national treasure! This is a masterpiece.
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...
I wonder if it needs More Cowbell?
Bilk is a talented guy. I love watching him. Quick witted too.
watching this puts a smile on my face every single time :)
I love how one of them readies the others when Bill gets out the big bell.
Good music and laughter.
What more could you ask for?
Thanks Bill Bailey et al.
You are sir are a GENIUS ! , utter GENIUS !
One of my favorite memories from University days was being part of a bell choir. Good times.
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.

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.
I just realised at the end, the string section were tapping their bows in applause. So good!
Got to love bill who else could make you smile in these times of crapness
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
This song always makes me cry for some reason. And bill bailey always makes me laugh :) dammit bill STOP CONFUSING MY BRAIN :P 😭🤣
I got a fever...and the only cure is....more cowbell.
This is in the top ten most wholesome videos on youtube.
This music cured my fever.
That was sublime 👌
Always find bill bailey incredibly inspiring
Made my night. Few comedians if any are as uplifting as Khan.
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.
This will satisfy those who keep crying out for more cowbell!
Bill Bailey swan of the greatest ever.
Heyo
Still need more cowbells.
I bet they had such a great laugh practicing that prior to the show.
This was sooo clever. Beautiful❤
Well done Bill and boys!!!!
How perfect! How fun! what a delight!
they all appeared to have immense pleasure for the duration of that performance
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. ?
what is the enjoyment of music we have reached in 2020
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 is unique in the world of entertainment.
Never thought I'd find four men playing with their bells so funny
So remarkably cool !
Wonderful! ❤
Undeniable genius 😍😍😍
Needs.... More cowbell.
Such effort put in to this entertainment!
Classic Bill mix of skill and comedy ❤
I find this truly magical while at the same time it reminds me of dark days in the past
played in one of the best halls in the world….The Albert.
Fantastic!
how can one dislike this let alone 86.
We need more cow bell! said Will Ferrell. Saturday Night Live. 🤣🤣🤣
3:41 Love how the guy next to Bill flinches before Bill rings his xD
I don't even know music and I loved this. This is creative art.
The man is a genius!
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
This is really wonderful
I need more cowbell !!
One of the most inspirational videos in the history of the internet.
Love bill bailey and this video
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
The amount of practice this must have taken, not just for the actual playing but the comic touches as well
First time I’ve ever not had a fever for more cowbell
That was such a beautiful and funny thing to watch 😂
How good is that 😁😍👏🏻
unexpectedly lovely
Brilliant Mr Bailey.
I am laughing so much. Bill is fun, fun, fun
The amount of rehearsal these 5 had to do must have been quite a lot, Bill really is a wasted talent, love him. His faces when he does the higher notes though xD
They are ALL reading the music and know which notes they are responsible for. Really not much rehearsal needed... some...
BlueBassett wtf is wrong with you why don't you buy all those bells and do it without much rehearsal
He's right, I'm afraid. You could have picked any of the musicians, rehearsed once or twice, and performed this.
Wasted?
@@VK-pk8uz I have no idea what they mean by that
This man is a genius!!
Wonderful
Those in the know: _Needs more cowbell!_
Bill Bailey: _You were saying?_ :)
They played that very bell
Absolute cheer up when he rings the higher tone bell =D
Simply epic :')
Delightful.
