- Billy completes the last leg of his motor-trike journey along the world-famous Route 66. He visits a massive meteorite crater in Arizona, before heading to the Grand Canyon. He meets a campaigner trying to keep the historic route alive, and bottle-feeds a lion cub in a sanctuary for unwanted exotic pets. Finally, he reflects on his 3,000-mile ride when he ends his travels in Santa Monica, California.

To view our World through Billy's eyes is an absolute treat... Thank you, Billy.
Easily and by quite a margin one of the best traveling documentaries, I've ever seen. Billy - as always - has a presence and a glimpse in the eyes, that reaches out even through the screen.
In the 1950's and '60's my parents took us on many trips on the complete route 66 road. Such amazing memories.
Thank you for being part of this video Billy . I really enjoyed the trip .
Billy Connolly is a National Treasure 💖
We will always love you, Billy, I will always love you. Your spirit is in all of us who love you. Thank you for the joy XXX
this is brilliant. I've loved Billy since we first saw him on TV when we lived in Scotland in the early 70s. His human take on the humanity on Route 66 moved me to tears more than once. I'm so grateful to have witnessed this amazing journey by a legendary Scot. Thanks, Billy!!
Billy on 66 may be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on the TH-cam.
I'm alternating between laughing and crying.
I am overjoyed to finally see this journey to its final destination. What a ride!! What a soundtrack! Thanks very much indeed to the Big Yin, an absolute treasure of a man!
The whole series has been available as a download for ages.
Love the soundtrack used on these episodes. Thanks to the editors !
I’m “ Holding on to my Hollyhocks,”😅 very Nice to be able to join this jokester on his holiday!
I had my own Route 66 adventure years ago. It is a magical, American trail. And at the Grand Canyon I rode the donkeys to the bottom, camped, and back up the next day. Most thrilling thing I've done.
. trillions of stars and planets inside galaxies.trillions of galaxies in our universe and trillions of universes inside a big cup of tea thanks billy
Cannot believe it’s been 12 years since I saw this on tv. Loved all the travel shows Billy has done. Sorry he’s not able to do them anymore.
So good to see Billy looking happy and healthy, and on the trike again. Absolutely loved his World Tour of Australia series in the 1990s and this is great too. What a treasure this man is.
This is from 2011!
@@CeeJayDee94 So what.
@@irbennett Simply saying that unfortunately this is not how Billy is currently (in 2024). His health has definitively declined since this was filmed. I grew up with him on the TV (my dad was born in Ayr). So it’s tough seeing him age
If Billy (or any one of us) had travelled this same route in 1955 the impressions would have been so different. I knew a guy who's family did just that. I wish I could. All those towns were still vibrant.
Billy is such a legend...
Special personalities should have more children than us normies, and Billy and his wife saw to that :)
God bless him, his wonderful wife, and his whole family.❤❤❤
Thank you for uploading❣
That's creepy.
@@irbennett
What is? I don`t understand.
I wish i had the child like joy that Billy Connolly has.😊
Billy's just such a great bloke
This is a wonderful production. Enjoyed it immensely.
I remember the 66 route travelling with my parents across country & back to California, thanks for the memories ❤😊
We truly are all part of a big cup of tea in space
thanks for billy great show
Love it all but especially love Elmers place......would LOVE to see that in real life and meet the man and his wife who've made this spectacular glass forest ✌️😊💚💚 thanks Billy boy 🏴
Elmer's bottle tree ranch is closed. Elmer himself died in 2019.
I did the 66 as a truck driver. One of the best experiences of my life, but Billy put it into words that i could never do. Well done Billy, you brought back amazing memories for me mate
Never ever in my life did I want to visit USA..... until I saw that hole!!!!!!
Aaah, the humanity of the man! Great work Billy, perfect. I named my dug after yer, and my tortoise after his sister!
If all of us as Americans could see thing the way Billy does we would be a much happier nation !
Sir Billy I do love you with all my heart and if it is true a laugh prolongs one’s life I will live to be 150 years old
Billy Connelly inspired me to go to and visit Australia 🇦🇺. But that was 20 year's ago....I would love to do route 66 ...
Bills, I am of the opinion that you absolutely rock! I’ve always loved you, and this was so much fun. Great soundtrack!
Seligman has a nice German restaurant, a couple gas stations, a KOA RV park, and some Route 66 tourist trap places selling trinkets and T-shirts. It also has a small airport in the area for private planes. If you pass by, the German restaurant is definitely worth the stop.
this was a great episode and I love the soundtrack, too :)
Love it sir Billy xxxxxx what a adventure
"It's Art Deco, if you like that kind of thing" 🤣
I visited Seligman ..a great place and great people bought a shirt in a store and asked the guy where was the changing room? Your standing in it he said ..haha💚☘
Hey man, thanks for posting this video. Big thumbs up.
Fantastic series, enjoyed 'm a LOT 👍 Billy is a great guy.
Thanks for sharing, and greets from the Netherlands ✌, T.
Just seeing your face in that train makes my day!
Amazing ,thanks very much ,what a journey😁
A legend on a legendary road
Didn't have much on the Grand Canyon though. "Here's the Grand Canyon. Isn't it nice,. Now I'm off to buy the T-shirt."
Yes, 😂😂
Thank you Billy.
Billy keep it happening!
Angel nailed it with the "We The People" statement. The governments of the world have forgotten who put them where they are. We CAN take them out of their positions of power.
Well said
People can take them out of their positions of power, but they don't. For many there are more important things than Route 66.
If voting made I difference we wouldn’t be able to vote
@@Somerfieldcomedy We can at least try.
It's true. A local investment is often bifarcated by a train yard or train tracks in the US towns. It's not just a phrase. Poor people on one side, rich on the other.
It comes from the days of steam trains and the prevailing winds, those with means bought the land up wind whilst the others had to suffer the smoke and soot deposited on the wrong side of the tracks
We must have crossed paths somewhere in AZ, we just returned from LA, Grand Canyon and Meteor Crater. Great trip glad you posted it.
This is 12 years old
Takes a scottish comedian to set straight the worlds egotistical scientists 👍 nailed it. Were still space dust.
I think Billy is the illegitimate love child of John Cleese.
Billy is 81 or 82 and John Cleese is 84. That makes you a halfwit.
It's not divided by race but culture
May I correct you, the "True West" runs from Oklahoma City, and Fort Worth, Texas to the middle of the Arizona badlands. Anything beyond that is just West or East.
A few bloopers for historical accuracy but who cares when Sir Billly is the narrator.
I want to see an orchestrated argument between Billy Connolly and Ozzy Osbourne. Moderated by a drunk Ricky Gervais that has also had too much coffee to drink. lol
❤
Just a note, Billy, the first trains in America were built in Glasgow, and, shipped to New Jersey in sections. They were ordered by the American government, who immediately set about copying them and producing their own...a copy of this one in the vid'. Glasgow is still waiting for America to pay for the three they ordered originally! The only modifications made were a tall stack, and a buffalo grill, up front!!!
Great video 👍
Hey Billy, was there an IRN-BRU bottle in that garden?😃
Why ask Billy he doesn't read the messages.
Do Canada next, Billy. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
This is 12 years old and his Parkinson’s won’t allow any more like it
it's a shame it takes someone from Glasow Scotland to show us Americans where we came from and what we have in our own backyard.
Glasgow.
This show's been released in 2011...
i wish to do the same adventure like the way u did
but
its not at ease to goto america .
especially if pakistani applies for it .
Still, I have been all over the world, seen ugly, wonderful and all in between, but LA is the UGLIEST places I' v EVER visited,
California, or the US, never. I'd rather go to Africa, cause that's just BEAUTIFUL, no matter what country, people är wonderful, not mentioning the nature. The USA, NEVER AGAIN. Been there, done that. Africa is the best.😊
Go to Africa and stay there.
shit, Big Yin, I pass that bottle farm every day on my way to the bar - wish I knew you were passing through,. I could have explained why you're so wrong about football teams ;-)
Firstly this is from 2011, and also IF you do pass the bottle farm you would know it's been shut for some time because the owner is dead.
damn! That car is a whorehouse on wheels in all the good ways possible!
share
Northern AZ is my secret spot. Please keep passing through.😠 Californians keep out!!
I like Billy Connolly but that Volkswagen trike isn’t very Route 66....
So nice that the Big Yin will live on through this and all of his other work, and that people will be able to enjoy it just like he enjoyed making it 🧡😎
Nothing can stop this man from loving life what a legend Billy is and very good person
Favorite line, "I seen it, done it and now I'm going to get the t-shirt." 🤣
Thanks, Billy. This was a treat for this American who will probably never be able to make the trip.
Totally enjoyed this. Peace Billy.
Thank you for everything
THANK BILLY YOU SIR ARE A GIFT TO THE WORLD!
Jene's Addiction Ocean Size rulz!
Oh! Billy! Love ya!!
What a very nice travelling ever Billy ❤❤❤❤❤❤
How come there are stars in front of the moon? CGI?? Freeze frame 6m 24s. LOL
Maybe they’re satellites
@@bevmc5061 satellites are on the move, very quickly!
Popped in Angel's store today, pleasure to have spent some $ in there
I like your traike ❤
What a coll hotel ever
I just love the bottle collector I'm a bit of a bottle collector myself in a collection there's always a favorite mine is a 1860s early wood mold bottle and I love it because you can see the wood chisel scoop marks in the glass when you hold the bottle in the light that screams human action someone made that mold by hand the magic is that the bottle looks smooth outside the light.
a great second is a 17th-century bottle its neck is slightly bent and the top is crooked someone made that bottle by blowing into a glob of molten glass and forming it into a bottle and it didn't go perfectly instead it slanted and drooped a bit I love that! and it survived 4 centuries! which is a feat in itself!
Elmer the bottle collector died in 2019.
magic
What a man legend
This was an amazing journey 👏 ❤️ 🙌 ✨️
When did Billy do this tour??? It must be a few years ago as I understand he is now suffering from Alzheimer's ...
2011
@@dismith73 He has Parkinsons, not Alzheimers.
Is this Billy's channel?
Nope
Anyone know the name of the song at 36.35 ?
Knees Up Mother Brown.
Visited just about everything in this series, and enjoyed it. Billy kept me interested with his enthusiasm and unique point of view. Special little travel series!
This is what I love about people like those on Route 66 and billy. When they are genuine they are at their most beautiful. I will say it as well. Thank you Billy.
Loved to see u alive and well and to this day I can’t look at a sheep with out u in my head saying push them to the edge of a cliff
I’ve done the Route 66 & it should be on everyone’s bucket list.
hey, just a well done to your editor
From 2011
good stuff ❤
Brilliant vid, Billy at his best , how about doing the A38 ? LOL.
This 12 years old at least and his Parkinson’s won’t allow anymore like this
Thanks for the majic Billy blessings to you and yours
That crater is amazing! Being a woman who decided not to go into astronomy because I was told in college that I had to wait for an astronomer to die before I could get their job. I thought that was horrible as a 20 something , but as a fourty year old I could happily start thinking of ways to ease their way (passing) a few years faster.
I'm adding this trip to my bucket list !
wtf
You can't spell 'forty' correctly, but you wanted to be an astronomer?
@@tomcarl8021 I'm sorry I'm not perfect. I was just voicing regret for not fallowing a dream as a young person. Good fucking luck in your life.
@@bitchn_betty Relax, I was just teasing.
So you want to kill astronomers.
