Neil Innes: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert 

Such an unsung talent that should have got more recognition. RIP Neil.

Just before I put this on, I was thinking with Neil gone, the world’s a sadder place. Then I pressed play. That was totally joyous and for the span of it playing, Neil was alive again. Amazing. You are so missed, Neil.

The world is a better place for me because of Neil.

So sad, but here is the twist , the music will always exist .

you know....... there a a bloody lot of people in the world, that we know of and it is not till they have gone, that we realise how much we , depended, liked , needed, them. I daresay there are people that we do not know about aswell...in that same genre, that have made the world different in a person. Neil is one of them....i will never forget watching Innes book of records on tv and feeling like i was a renegade/ pushing against the system, for watching it. Same as older ones thought about MontyPython. R.I.P Neil

Mr Innes ….. your music & wit has been with me since I was very young . So very sad to hear of your passing .

So sad to hear of his passing - only saw him once a few years ago at a theatre at Southend. He was so funny and a better musician than I certainly gave him credit for prior to seeing him. When the show was over he came out into the bar and foyer area, mingled and chatted to the audience - such a nice man. RIP Neil

Just loved this man his humour and the ability to not take himself seriously RIP Neil.

Passed away quickly and peacefully. A great talent, best wishes to his family. RIP Neil.

R.I.P. Neil. You were an amazing writer, humorist, and music genius. I hope you're smiling up there with the Urban Spaceman.

Reporter: "Some people say you've been staying away from Liverpool now that you're famous!" Ron Nasty: "Well, we haven't been staying away so much as not coming here!" Reporter: "Some people say six months since you came back here!" Ron: "That's just the sort of thing some people would say!" Reporter: "Nevertheless it has been six months!" Ron: "Now you're saying it! Why don't you ask me where I've been?" Reporter: "Where've you been?" Ron: "I'm not tellin' ya." RIP Neil. You were enjoyed. ♥

RIP Neil Innes. A great talent who was definitely on the side of the angels...

Love you Neil. Thanks for all the songs and the laughs. My life would have been poorer without you.

Always makes me feel better for having heard Neil's voice. (Still my favourite Beatles)

I really love the Bonzos, Viv and Neil.

I'm so sad that there were apparently only a handful of people in the room watching this brilliant man. He was so talented.

Had the great fortune to see and meet the great man in Bath in June; fantastic gig and wonderful to meet him afterwards. Farewell old friend and thanks for all the joy you gave anyone lucky enough to have shared your talent

He is a genius indeed.. I loved the Innes Book of records.. It was total genius and Neil can turn his hand to any kind of music style... say him at the edinburgh fringe a couple of times.

Genius! I wish he was still alive...great guy. Wish i could have met him...

News just hit me...here in Argentina...of Neil's death. THANKYOU for the fun and the musical gift you shared with us. You were too humble, intelligent and... ironic to want to be a megastar. But for those of us 'in the know' you've been pure LIGHT.

One of my all-time heroes!

Superb!! I saw Neil in concert last week - he is awesome, and so very very funny, sharp and witty!! Nice one Neil, it was a pleasure meeting you. Vanessa :-)

RIP Neil loved you in Bonzo, Do Not adjust your Set, Python and the Rutles - that was my childhood right!

He'd often pull into my petrol station in Woodbridge to fill up, always full of smiles and always polite and fun....just a nice person.

this is the coolest person i have ever seen, love this guy

I don't see how the world can go on without him.

Rest in peace dear fellow. My life, and the world, has been better thanks to you ✌️

Love you Neil, so sad you have gone much love to your family, they must be utterly heartbroken to lose you. x

Excellent stuff! Neil's a national treasure. Love him! It may not have been possible, but it would have been nice to have seen some of the audience's reactions.

I'm so glad yall had Neil on, he's an underrated genius. R.I.P Neil Innes :(

I'm late to the party in this one. That brought a smile to my face. Neil Innes ....what a legend 😀

RIP Neil Innes will be sadly missed.

Wonderful Guy. Helped us promote our Cancer Support Group with such lovely kind words. What a nice bloke

A truly sad end of year. I'm a Rutles fan as much as a Beatles one. R.I.P. Neil Innes.

Watching this gentleman was a blast. He is a real gem :)

RIP Neil,another legend gone too soon.

So sad to learn of Neil Innes's passing but what a legacy he leaves us all RIP

RIP Neil we will miss your humour and great talent as a singer, writer and musician

He'd come along and jam with us when we played close to where he lived in France; Now he's gone, and I shall miss him. RIP Neil...

So glad I got to finally meet you, my friend. You will be missed, greatly.

Young people: Who's he? Me: He is brave Sir Robin, Brave Sir Robin...

RIP Neil

Sheer joy to dip one's brain in... 👍😍

This lad is a genius.

Such a funny, clever, kind man 👽

I was very lucky to see Neil Innes twice at the Stand Comedy Club in Glasgow in 2001 and again in 2003. His wife was there and said, "It's great to see new fans - and you're all so young!". Great nights with a great musician. Rest in peace.

I'm not a fan of Monty Python, but Neil is so amusing and wonderful. This put a smile on my face today.

"We are normal & we want our freedom!" Cheers, Neil.

😂🤣😂🤣 really funny sir. I must be in love

RIP Neil, you were a true Python.

The man who made genius look easy.

Lovely human and a brilliant musician! 👏👏👏

You beauty. Beautiful. Love you for ever. One of the greats. Luv yer. In my heart for ever. ❤❤❤❤❤❤😂

RIP Neil.

another jewel from the fantastic 60s era lost .

Sad loss of a legend.

RIP, Neil. Missing you already.

Lovely performance. RIP Neil.

RIP great guy , a great Brit .

May he rest in peace.

RIP Neil you often made me happy with your music. Sorry to say goodbye

Wonderful! I watched THE RUTLES movie 3 nights ago. The songs, although parodies, were outstanding, and had they been written and released in the early 60s, would have been hits.

Even in his passing he makes me laugh.......Eternal Python! Godpseed Rut!

Lost for words. RIP Neil.

WOW ! Thanks for this

RIP Neil. 29th Dec 2019 sad day

"Ey up" indeed Neil! Thank you for all of the bonkers fun and for giving us all an extra Beatles album. "That's the last you'll hear of that" - I sincerely hope not; go well out there in the galaxy.

Absolute Beautiful. RIP Neil.

RIP Neil ...

RIP Neil x

Sadly missed & totally amazing :-)

One of my favorites of his was Twyfords Vitromant which was the name on his toilet

RIP Neil!

Wow! I was 17 again for those 10 minutes ❤

W.C. Fields forever.

God bless you dear man

Singing voice like butter!

"Medley of Hit", brilliant ... Neil's performance as Rutle "Ron Nasty", alone should've made him a legend, but if you need more, how about being Brave Sir Robin's minstrel in The Holy Grail? Yeup - he's THAT guy - wrote the music too ... Neil, being a modest lad, seems unaware he had an unmatched presence on camera in the 70s; which wasn't hurt by rubbing shoulders with the Beatles and working with Vivian Stanshall in The Bonzo Dog Doo-dah Band ( you can't make this stuff up ). In short, Neil's a musical comedy legend: but ironically, despite playing Ron Nasty, he's much too nice to say so.

Amazing 😢

7:58 Neil predicts the future

his intro is brilliant

RIP.

GREAT!

RIP Neil. I feel sad

God rest your soul Neil xx

So very very sad to learn of his passing. The Bonzos made me (mad, that is).
