He was so respectful during "Retreat" and "To the Colors", but what follows after is so incredibly hilarious!!! Love this!

Saw him at Bagram in 2011, he's a real class act. Great guy who stayed to talk with everyone. He must have signed a thousand Covers that night

Without having any idea what was going on, he did the right thing. He showed respect. Well done, Robin.

Our Generations Bob Hope! When I was in Adak, AK in 1979 I think we wore out "Reality What a Concept" on the turntable.

Robin Williams kept me sane throughout six weeks of having my eyes wrapped after a chemical accident back in the 80's. I can still quote, word for word, inflection for inflection, of his "Live at the Met".

It was great to see him do the respectful thing, remove his hat, and stand silently. What a wonderful video, thank you for sharing

I love that clip. He says he has no idea what was going on, but he obviously knew damn well what was going on as soon as the first note was sounded. He was a genius, I am sorry I missed that show he was at AJ just before we got there.

Excellent, except some one forgot to fire the howitzer between Retreat and To The Colors.
