- 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.
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
Favorite line, "I seen it, done it and now I'm going to get the t-shirt." 🤣
In the 1950's and '60's my parents took us on many trips on the complete route 66 road. Such amazing memories.
Billy Connolly is a National Treasure 💖
Billy on 66 may be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on the UA-cam.
I'm alternating between laughing and crying.
Nothing can stop this man from loving life what a legend Billy is and very good person
Thank you for being part of this video Billy . I really enjoyed the trip .
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!
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
. 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
Love the soundtrack used on these episodes. Thanks to the editors !
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!!
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.
Thanks, Billy. This was a treat for this American who will probably never be able to make the trip.
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 🧡😎
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.
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.
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.
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!
THANK BILLY YOU SIR ARE A GIFT TO THE WORLD!
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.
I wish i had the child like joy that Billy Connolly has.😊
Totally enjoyed this. Peace Billy.
We truly are all part of a big cup of tea in space
Never ever in my life did I want to visit USA..... until I saw that hole!!!!!!
Thank you for everything
Billy's just such a great bloke
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 🏴
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 ❤😊
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.
@@bettyboadwine4890 Relax, I was just teasing.
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 !
I’ve done the Route 66 & it should be on everyone’s bucket list.
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!
Oh! Billy! Love ya!!
thanks for billy great show
This was an amazing journey 👏 ❤️ 🙌 ✨️
"It's Art Deco, if you like that kind of thing" 🤣
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
Love it sir Billy xxxxxx what a adventure
Bills, I am of the opinion that you absolutely rock! I’ve always loved you, and this was so much fun. Great soundtrack!
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!
Billy Connelly inspired me to go to and visit Australia 🇦🇺. But that was 20 year's ago....I would love to do route 66 ...
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.
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
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💚☘
I think Billy is the illegitimate love child of John Cleese.
Jene's Addiction Ocean Size rulz!
What a man legend
this was a great episode and I love the soundtrack, too :)
Just seeing your face in that train makes my day!
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
Fantastic series, enjoyed 'm a LOT 👍 Billy is a great guy.
Thanks for sharing, and greets from the Netherlands ✌, T.
Hey man, thanks for posting this video. Big thumbs up.
Billy keep it happening!
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.
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
It's not divided by race but culture
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!!!
Takes a scottish comedian to set straight the worlds egotistical scientists 👍 nailed it. Were still space dust.
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!
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
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.
Hey Billy, was there an IRN-BRU bottle in that garden?😃
❤
good stuff ❤
Great video 👍
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.
hey, just a well done to your editor
Do Canada next, Billy. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
This is 12 years old and his Parkinson’s won’t allow any more like it
From 2011
This show's been released in 2011...
Anyone know the name of the song at 36.35 ?
Is this Billy's channel?
Nope
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 ;-)
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
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 .
Thanks for the majic Billy blessings to you and yours
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.😊
share
When did Billy do this tour??? It must be a few years ago as I understand he is now suffering from Alzheimer's ...
2011
damn! That car is a whorehouse on wheels in all the good ways possible!
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....
