Leonard Nimoy sings Bilbo Baggins LIVE

[planetrockford]

Class act

[nostalgiatrip1]

If cloning or cryogenic freezing should ever be done, I would say Leonard Nimoy is a great candiate, even though he did whored himself out to Michael Bay in Transformers Dark of the Moon by pointlessly saying the line from...you know where out of context.

[epsteinsmutha1]

I want a Leonard Nimoy/Leonard Cohen duet. Bloody hell, they both look alike anymore, and sing in the same "I keep my balls in my left sock." register.

[LMTR14]

awesome guy

[MobileThinker]

i would have loved to be there...also, you have an great name! i fuckin loved that game!!!

[Toracube]

Such a cool guy.

[Selune13]

Great that he would do that!

[ohsnapitsme59]

He is such a class act.

[Wrathmont313]

The older he gets the more bad ass and eerily resonant his voice becomes...

[FallenEmbyr]

Haha he's such a great sport!! I love Leonard Nimoy <3

[cbemerine]

Your a class act Mr Nimoy, so many today give their fans so much less, you could tell you were having fun with it! Hats off to you Sir!

[megarouge2001]

He's such a dear man. Now that he's older he reminds me so much of my grandfather.

[Hillbilly13579]

@SokomameKokumotsu No. I am a human. If I was jelly I would not be able to communicate with you. DUH!!!

[megarouge2001]

@Hillbilly13579 Jelly is street talk for jealous nowadays. Yeah I don't get it, either.

[genericusername337]

he is so lovable!

[BilboBaggins233]

(I love you too spock! Live long and prosper!!)

[BilboBaggins233]

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER BILBO!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

[photon72]

‘‘Finally! Something not related to Star-Trek!‘‘ He must have been so glad!

[MegaTitanicboy]

i think that Frodo is the greatest hobbit because he destroyed the ring, (don't bring up the Gollum thing i know the ring was in gollum's hands when it fell in)

[jaddison1112]

How fun ..... Leonard Nimoy is a very good sport ...... I was hooked on Mr. Spock from the first night the series aired ...... I wanted to be Mr. Spock .... and now at 60, in many emotional ways I ended up like him ..... sad, really.

[Hillbilly13579]

NNNEERRRRRRD!!!!!!!!

[SokomameKokumotsu]

@Hillbilly13579 You jelly?



[thegreatbungholio21]

I'm glad he can have fun with himself like that. I am looking forward to meeting him at Dragoncon this year!

[axiem105]

the one person who disliked this deserves to die. unfortunatley, i dont want to get arrested. anyone up for it?

[KagomeMorino]

OMGS i wanna meet him so bad lol. one of my teachers said if i ever do he's go to send a for warning lol I wanna jump Leonard's Bones lol

[DeathEaterSpy]

He is such a badass. I love him. ♥♥

[Pookatube]

HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY LEONARD NIMOY!!!

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!!!!

[MrKetnis]

I always liked Nimoy because he fought nearly every script to keep Spock consistent and true to character. No other actor would have risked alienation for their character. Plus he actually wrote his own autobiography, unlike Shatner's ghost-written garbage.

[Ooftyman]

I saw him at a University of Michigan football game when he walked on the field to direct the marching band in the Star Trek theme. I almost fainted. It was magical.

[kraken589]

he's got a better singing career than shatner

[Serena2009ification]

Nimoy = love

[MandrakeMoorglade]

I always thought he did voice of Gandalf in the Hobbit cartoon. Turns out it was John Huston. Never realised how similar both actors sound.

[Hellzyead]

Hope they let him be Smaug...I'm not talking just the voice, but actually have him dress up as a dragon, no CGI

[djuniverse]

He's a class act. He knows what crap it was, but understands what fun it represents for his fans. What a great guy. Too bad all actors aren't as genuine.

[Banserki]

What a champ

[jimbobanalbeats]

Good stuff. I love this guy.

[cha5]

There have been RUMORS (nothing more) that Nimoy might be cast in the upcoming Peter Jackson Hobbit film, go to theoneringdotnet for details.

[ricker01100]

Leonard Nimoy just rocks lol 80 year old man singing and goofing around on stage thats FAN APPRECIATION thank god for actors like him

[jigbuilda]

This is great! He obviously doesn't mind talking about his 'music career' back then and does so here with warmth and good humour! Thanks for posting :)

[Lonsoleil]

I LOVE YOU NIMOY!!!!

[5ch3nk]

what a class act. hell of a guy that nimoy.

[TheArtsyTuber]

I love you forever good sir!!!

[lucretia101]

haha! that was awesome.  This song made my day.

[JubalCalif]

I like the crew cut Mr Nimoy has been wearing the last few years. Looks good on him. Love how after all these years he can keep such a marvelous sense of humor about his career's low points. Very talented fellow. THANKS for posting this fascinating clip! Live long & prosper! :)

[fjccommish]

@JubalCalif Low points? Those records sold well. He made a lot of money from that "low point".

[fjccommish]

@JubalCalif He's having fun with it, sure. But I don't think he took it seriously at the time that he considered it horrible or low. It was just something he did for fun that earned him some money. A low point is something someone has to do, when there's no alternative. They hate it, have no fun. That's not the case with these albums.

[ElleAgnes]

Leonard Nimoy is better to his fans than any other celebrity I know.

[thecopykidofthestarz]

From the Middle of the Galaxy in the land of the Vulcan lives the bravest Little Vulcan whom we all Admire, with his long pointy ears, fussy little emots.

he lives on the enterprise and everybody knows him, Leonard!-Leonard, Leonard Nimoy, Hes only 6 feet tall. Leonard!-Leonard! Leonard Nimoy! The bravest little Vulcan of them all.

[thecopykidofthestarz]

When He Says Admire it gives me Chills 1:37

[GothicDancer13]

this is crazy. But you have to love it

[davidsquall351]

He's so cool.

[1800tellmama]

He reminds me of my Father In Law!

[A251plus]

I was surprised to see him this way. I always knew him as Mr Spock. This is a very pleasant surprise to see him in light humor and not being so logical

[velveetaslingshot]

He's such a nice guy.

[alisonbeverley]

you don't realise how lucky you are to be able to see this great man in the flesh in your own country it is hard for us across the "Pond"

[tsukishime]

@alisonbeverley Yes I do realize. I do. I was excited since they announced his appearance and am still raving about. The cons in the States are really lucky cuz they get a lot of stars due to close proximity.

[Goatmon]

@tsukishime

Actually, many of the states are bigger than entirely european countries.

It's not really much of an advantage. :P

[thecopykidofthestarz]

@alisonbeverley I live in Los Angeles And Will Shatner and Practically every major star lives here.

[baraettord]

hahahahha he'll NEVER get rid of that song XD lol. I really wish I'll have a chance to see him someday! <3

[FekLeyrTarg]

Well, his voice doesn't seem to be changed during the last 40/50 years.

[Selinja]

Forty years and he can't escape the song. Worse, none of us can...now this is what I call immortal fame ^^

In this sense, thanks for uploading and keeping the memory alive! And thank Leonard Nimoy for playing along and taking it light-heartedly ;)

[dills2403]

billlll booooo billl bo baggens

[Ko0lHaNDLuKex]

What a legend!

[potophan2006]

He can't really sing, he has more of a leonard cohen voice, but he's still nice to listen to.

[GroteB]

@potophan2006 Well, he is almost 80, after all. Not that many people can sing as good at that age as when they were young. He does continue, however, to be a cool guy.

[kurukururock]

Nothing would be cooler than having this man as your grandpa!! He has a great storytelling voice.

[miketocci]

WHY Grandfather? Why not Dad? Nimoy Rules! I actually have these albums AND listen to them regularly

[wookie72]

The most patient man in the world.

[mynamesdan]

that was cool of him

[Sheldonwh]

We all have our heroes, but it's a little creepy how people act like this guy is some kind of great actor. I mean, he could have taken a dump on stage, and they'd have applauded and asked for a bite.

[JohnCougarMellowChim]

He's not a great actor. He's MR SPOCK!

[miketocci]

He Is a great actor. I hope you say that with sarcasm! Otherwise you are greatly misinformed

[JohnCougarMellowChim]

I mean he is loved because he is Mr. Spock, not for his acting abilities. And certainly not for his crooning!

[shadowlost8]

This was brilliant.

[Urko2005]

There will only ever be one Spock and that is Leonard Nimoy.

Hes a great actor in whatever he does too.

[ginpin62]

Thank you.

[miketocci]

AMEN to that

[tommysaurussmex]

@Urko2005 i don't know Zachary Quinto didnt do a bad job at it

[Urko2005]

@tommysaurussmex Nimoy though was the original and has been Spock for decades.

[LittleBrother09]

@tommysaurussmex Zach reprised the role very well

[BambiValentine09]

1:47-2:00

I love how he speeds through it.

[Nash1a]

One of the coolest guys ever to grace the phosphor tube. Out of all the star trek cast members, nobody is as entertaining as Leonard Nimoy. Ok, he can't sinng but its so much fun to watch him try.

[melianish]

This video is funny XD I like him.

[rachaelracer]

nice nice nice leonard nimoy rocks

[BossHospital]

such a cool guy =)

[megarouge2001]

He's such a sweet man.

[Llaaseil]

How nice! I don't think I have the Bilbo Baggins 45, but I know I have 6 Nimoy LPs : )

[Morgan9123]

That is too cute. I ended up missing his panels at DragonCon this weekend due to hotel issues, so this is such a nice treat. Thanks!!

[tsukishime]

Your welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I wish I was at DragonCon. Looks like fun. I heard both Bill Shatner and Patrick Stewart was there.

[estelgreenleaf]

@tsukishime I was there! It was so awesome!

[sondano]

the Shatner Nimoy DragonCon panel is up on YouTube it's a hoot watch?v=C-eMilnSzvY

[chris14S]

Leonard Nimoy's such a cool guy. Thanks for uploading this. I never really heard him discuss his "music career" before.

[tsukishime]

No problem! It was fun hearing him address the album. :)

[Barbuzuka]

Great clip!!! thank you very much!!!

What a great man!!! and his singing is so sweet!

[tsukishime]

You're most welcome! He's such a great sport. :)

[DFG333]

I'm a huge fan of his but I really hate this song. It makes me cringe.

[tsukishime]

It's ok. He did it cuz we made him.

[annafrancesca1]

Thank you sooooo much for uploading this!

He is so lovely...especially singing!!! ^__^

[tsukishime]

You're very welcome! I agree! He is a quite the gentleman. :)
