Rare Video Clips
. . . from the vault
Possibly the earliest known performance clip of Bill. He had just graduated from high school a few months earlier. Although the material is tamer than he later became known for, the confident stage presence is already evident. Enjoy this clip of Bill talking about a couple of things important to him at that point in his life.
Bill was known for his fascination with Elvis Presley and musicians. Here he spoofs "All Shook Up" in an entrance to one of his shows in the mid-80's.
Bill loved his rock stars and was particularly fond of Mick, Keith and the Rolling Stones. This is Bill's homage to Mick as he channels him for a couple of stories.
Classic bit on smoking. A relaxed Bill in one of his favorite venues Austin Texas.
Another great bit from an Austin, Texas show in October, 1993. This video was recorded the same week and the same shows that became "Rant in E-Minor."
Four months after moving to LA upon his high school graduation in 1980, Bill was cast in a sitcom pilot. Luckily it was not picked up and Bill did not go down the path of wacky neighbor next door. In this brief glimpse of his role, Bill pays respect to the physical comedy of earlier idols Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd.
Here's a look at Bill off-stage. This footage shows Bill relaxing with his family(parents, brother, sister inlaw, niece and nephew)on a vacation.
