I saw this done live too, in Dublin. Really wonderful, very funny. One of the highlights of the show, and also a beautiful piece of music, even played on cow bells.
I saw this live! Twice in fact as I went on the first night with the gf then my 2 friends who were supposed to go the second night couldn't so I went again with my brother.
Loved it even more the second time, not just this part, but the whole performance. 'Twas a great show
You've got to admire the somewhat insecure but at the same time happily triumphant look on Bill's face whenever he gets to one of the high notes. Fantabulous.
Best bit by far, at 1:58 when he's getting ready to play the big one, and they guy next to him backs away clutching the third guy along! And his smile when he plays the highest bells makes me fall off my chair!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. So funny. Brilliant! Bravo!!
LOL at 1:57 the guy to the right of bill flinches and looks terrified.

I can imagine there will be "I need more cowbell" somewhere.
Bill Bailey however does not. The cowbell needs more Bill.

Fantastic - the idea itself is so unique, even before you get to the execution.

If only Bill were to go on X Factor. He'd wipe the veritable stage with the other contestants.
