Anything I really need to hear? Personalized song & album reviews!👇🏼 ko-fi.com/musickingdom/commissions Yes I teared up 😂 But hey, I didn’t SOB. (It’s been a long week, okay?) More Bee Gees!: ruclips.net/video/RrTnv7zjU8o/видео.html
They were beyond incredible. I watched an interview not too long ago and Barry was talking about how much he and Andy had in common. They were more similar in personality and interests than Robin and Maurice were. Barry said he and Andy had identical birthmarks. I thought that was pretty amazing. And he said none of them ever learned to read music. So amazing. They were definitely made to write songs and sing them. I have over 160 favorite songs by them. They make my heart smile, even when they sing about heartbreak it just automatically puts me in a great mood.
I’m 76 and fell in love with the BeeGees, and have stayed in love with them throughout the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and even into the early 2000’s. I still listen to them every day, and never tire of them.
I’m 77 but paid little attention to pop music when I was raising kids for 40 years. Now in retirement, I can’t get enough of BeeGees. No other group comes close. And Barry is my idea of Jesus Christ.
I never appreciated them until the pandemic when I spent hours on U-tube listening and watching everything I could about them. I am Barry’s age but just somehow missed most of their music as the years went by. If I knew then what I do now, I would have been a groupie and gone to as many concerts as I could. They are incredibly talented and they so loved what they were doing.
I'm 15 yrs old and the Bee Gees and Andy Gibb are my favourite artists. I wish I was alive in the 60's so I could've seen the bee gees live. It is such a shame that all people around me don't appreciate their talent as they listen to modern music. RIP to Andy,Maurice and Robin Gibb. I will never stop listening to their music ❤
I’ve been listening to them since the 60’s and I very often tear up listening to them. Their voices, their lyrics, their beautiful Melodies just touch my soul. There are no greater than The Bee Gees!
@@TheMusicKingdom Right?! I have a room full of my collection and monthly credit card bills to remind me of my purchases. Haha. Can't believe the Spirits doc isn't remastered and released. Luckily their music is so great and so timeless that it stands the test of time, but at some point they need to start marketing and getting new stuff out to continue the legacy.
You should watch their 1974 Melbourne concert. For some reason, part of the first versr of Can't See Nobody is missing in this video.They really had a goid time in the Melbourne concert, cutting up o. stage. Also you should listen to Charade and A Lonely Violin for a different flavor.
It absolutely has. But remember that Barry has the rights, and it is his decision. It is not criminal, it is up to him. And, why remaster perfection? You can get the music anywhere.
Barry said that Mo used to have a tie that he had rigged to raise up as they were singing. He would use it on particular songs. He said the crowd LOVED it!
My first encounter the brothers Gibb was in the early 60s when I who was considered a decent singer who nobody ever heard of was beaten in a talent quest in Australia by 2 11 and a 14 yr old trio named the BEE GEES their harmony was amazing , the song they won with was MY OLD MAN'S A DUSTMAN and they just blew the audience away they went on to sing on all the musical variety tv shows and eventually after releasing one of their first original songs SPICKS AND SPECKS that was a huge hit in Australia decided to move to England for a bigger audience than Australia had to offer with only19 million people and the rest is history . They have had hits in every decade since . Your younger subscribers may not have heard of them , but their music once heard is never forgotten . They were truly gifted songwriters and some of their lyrics are pure poetry , they have written songs for mega stars such as Diana Ross, Barbara Streisand, Dian Warwick ,Dolly Parton ETC and of course Celine Dion who sings my favourite BEE GEES song IMORTALITY . Don't forget when you do your extended history of the BEE GEE'S to mention their younger brother Andy who was a huge star on his own but was taken from us too soon and just when they were looking to integrate him into the group . A great reaction keep them coming
Wow, Tom, great story. Thanks for posting it. Robin and Mo have both said that by the age they were when you competed with them, they believed they would become famous, and their ambition kept driving them on. And the world is the beneficiary of that talent and drive. You may enjoy this video of those days: ruclips.net/video/EbsUj3oK1wU/видео.html
Singing around one mic was the highlight of every concert. The pure and natural singing is really a testament to their incredible talent. No earpieces, no pre-recorded vocals and no special effects.
Thank you for choosing this Chicago Soundstage performance to react to. It's my favourite of all their live performances as their voices seem at their peak then, the balance of the three voices is great and they seemed to be having a good time.
Hardcore BG's fan here since 72. I tell a lot of people that they are the greatest group in music history and more often than not, they reply that is just my opinion. Which is true in a way. It is if you don't know much about them or heard many of their songs. But if you are a real fan, you know the story behind them, look at the stats they have and the number of chart topping hits, then it becomes fact. This world will never see another group like this, period, end of story.
I found out yesterday that after they broke up and when Robin went to talk to Barry for the first time in almost two years after they agreed to get to get back together they started writing the song How Do You Mend A Broken Heart and got Maurice and finished it. Now the song really makes sense. I Started A Joke was about Robin what Robin had said at the time he quit and he annihilated himself. Which now the song makes perfect sense to me. I would live those decades over a thousand times.
When Robin (at 6:04) breaks into "I Can't See Nobody" we're reminded of how devastating it must have been to him to have producers and managers suggest that ballads were a thing of the past, because that's where Robin's voice shone. Those dark years of 72, 73 and 74 for the Gibb brothers only meant that they'd be open to Arif Marden's suggestions of adding more funk and R&B to their songwriting. And, man, Mr. Natural and Main Course display that in spades! Which all, of course, led to the band's dizzying success with the soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever. Just goes to remind us all that the lows in our lives are just as significant as the highs.
Loved dancing to those songs in the sixties! I’m now 76, live in the USA, but miss my home in Edinburgh so very much. Surprised to find that I remember all the lyrics, yet had forgotten the songs. Thanks for this video. ❤
Just one thing I'd like to add to this lovely video..... Please keep in mind the Gibb brothers were composing and recording their follow up album " Night Fever" in France when Robert Stigwood (their manager) came by for songs for a film. They already had recorded 8 (!) songs. From those songs just a few were selected for what would become Saturday Night Fever, founded on a book. And yes, their music was a blend of Soul, Rhythm and Blues , Funk in those days. Brilliantly merged by Arif Mardin on Mr. Natural and Main Course. Such outstanding talent by the Gibbs is so very rare.....
young people unluckily dn't know that the music is something of human talent that's called art. And luckily, there is the internet and they can go back to the time and take the good music into their lives.
Their music is beautiful! Sad that Robin and Mo left us so soon. Barry was collaborating with several other artists in Nashville. He played the Grand Ole Opry plus released a new record called “Greenfields” I believe. I am 71 and love their music, it’s timeless. Also appreciate Elvis, Credence Clearwater Revival cannot forget Phil Collins.
Hi from Australia, sorry I don’t know your name but I just want to thank you for your reactions to the Bee Gees. I have been a huge fan since my early teens in the 60’s and never got to any of their concerts (unfortunately) but have loved being able to watch many RUclips videos of them. I especially love Robin’s voice and Maurice’s fun antics. I loved their early songs but also love their songs from the 80’s & 90’s like ‘For who. The bell tolls, Winds of change, ‘Spirits having flown’ and all of them really. I have heard them say in interviews that being brothers is what makes their harmonies work so well. Also their passion for music and all having the same goal contributed to their success over many decades. The videos of them telling their own stories of how they started singing when Barry was 9 and the twins were 6 is just so interesting. And I love their humour and the way they bounce off each other in interviews. Thank you again for sharing about the Bee Gees here on your channel. I enjoyed it very much.
That was the Soundstage appearance. I loved it. Came out before VCRs. But when I knew it was going to be rerun on PBS , I managed to capture the audio onto a tape player from the tv. That short version of World is magnificent. World is one of my faves. That whole performance was the bomb. I was so happy when this came onto YT, so many years later.
Barry was scalded by pulling down a hot pot of tea onto himself at about 18 months,and nearly died .His mother Barbara said he did not speak until age three because of the trauma. He suffers with arthritis,but somehow continues to carry on. Though he covers it well sometimes when on stage you'll notice his stance changes a lot.He needed back surgery ,but kept performing with his brothers. They are amazing.
@@beeseewill2407 - Robin was also in the Hither Green train crash in London when he was 17. @ 50 died on the spot and he had to pull out dead and mangled bodies and narrowly avoided decapitation by a train rail that went through the window where he was sitting. He had PTSD for the rest of his life. Barry was also lucky to survive his burns. Burns are horrendously painful.
You have to watch their shows when they were young Robin was really funny growing up, he got a bit more serious the older he got. They started singing when they were young, there are shows and interviews that show you all sides of them . In fact all three were funny 🤣 their interviews are a must to watch 👍🏻🤩🏴
I've never seen this performance. It is fantastic because of the minimal music. You can hear their voices so clearly and it shows what perfect singers they were with the once in a lifetime harmonies.
To what I understand, when the Bee Gees left Australia and returned to England to meet and team up with Robert Stigwood (RSO Label). Barry and Robin Gibb wrote the song when they were sitting on a darkened staircase at Polydor Records following a power cut. The echo of the passing lift inspired them to imagine that they were trapped in a mine.[The song recounts the story of a miner trapped in a cave-in. He is sharing a photo of his wife with a colleague ("Mr. Jones") while they hopelessly wait to be rescued.
I've been listening to and watching the Bee Gees since the 1960s in Australia, when they were entering TV talent competitions. My first real concert was at the Sydney Showground in 1970-71 when they had returned to tour Australia. In 2000 they sold out the new Olympic Stadium prior to the 2000 Olympic Games and I was there. I love their music for all the reasons you gave.
History Check: Stayin Alive fifth biggest single of all time with 31 million single sold worldwide 👍 The Brothers Gibb claimed from in a survey 2017 of all radiostations around the globe, as most airplayed group all time in 2017- every 20 seconds - a Barry, Robin, Maurice tune is playing around the world and for sure they are the most iconic group of the 70´s decade. They a part of our shared cultural heritage now - one of those pop miracles that just never gets old, never wears off, never loses its charge. As reference their biggest banger Stayin alive. You can not denied talent when you see it and how mesmerising the are becoming to one of the most influenced and covered musician collective in the history of music. 220 million sold records, plus 150 million sold record for other artists like Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Celine Dion, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Take That etc. Michael Jackson was the biggest fan of them and Stayin Alive his inspiration for the Thriller album. 🔥
Damn, every single word you spoke is like coming out of my mouth. Since 1968, when I first saw them in German TV, singing 'To Love Somebody', I'm what's to call a die hard fan. And it's so cool, to realize that they still have a big impact to younger generations. The reason is clear, they just own a level of art in music, which is to describe as genius at all. No chance to compare, whoever will try.
I am old enough to recall many of the Bee Gees songs first hand. I was born in 64 but I was aware of, and recall, music from a very early age. I do remember Massachusetts - I was about 3 I couldn't spell it then and had no idea what it was but I continually repeated it - as I grew older I truly loved the BeeGees. RUclips has allowed me to appreciate the years from 1958 until they returned to Britain and I truly could take in their music. It is fab to be able to relive it all over again because all my vinyl is gone now and my cassettes are stretched. This is fab.
My 25 yr old daughter loves the BeeGees, as do her dad and I. We even named our boxer/bulldog mix Biji. She was such an amazing dog. The BeeGees aren’t talked about as much as they should be. I’m so glad that you’re paying tribute to the days of ‘ol. There was some timeless music made in my lifetime. Heck, the hit of the year that j was born is Bohemian Rhapsody! Good luck to you!
Just for context, The first song played here was “1941 Mining Disaster”, their fist stateside hit in 1967. “Run to Me” was 1972. “World” was 1967. “I Can’t See Nobody”also from their first album.”How Can you mend a broken heart” was 1971. The quality of their voices blending was certainly wondrous.
I live a block away from Maurice Gibb Memorial Park in Miami Beach. I've seen Barry perform locally here as he's a Miami Beach resident. As a child of the 60s, I grew up listening to them and love rekindling that today.
Maurice's humor was more family friendly joking, but Robin was sharp and his humor eccentric and clever word play!! Barry said "Nobody could compete with Robin's wit".
I am grateful to have been part of this era of genius singers and songwriters such as the Brothers Gibb. There are millions of fans like us around the world, who I imagine feel the same way, that the Bee Gees are the best of the best, on so many levels!!! Thank you for your reactions. It's great to have the younger generations enjoy and appreciate their extraordinary talent ...
Born in the 60s and LOVED, still do, all the BeeGees!! Andy Gibb was my childhood heart throb! I hadn't seen this reviewed yet but truly enjoyed, thank you!
I am from Austria, heard their songs 4 times during the last 4 weeks in our grocerys and radio! Love them since 40 years, the greatest ever, in my opinion, and I also love Bowie, Queen, Beatles, Guns n Roses, M. Jackson......BUT the bee Gees are the only group (artist), where I love soooo MANY songs and I discover every week new songs, I ve never heard before or knew, that they wrote (and sung) it and I also can hear the songs 10 times in a row without being bored.
Thanks! I've always loved Robin for his incredible quaver... and Maurice could hit all those notes, as well.. he was a bit of a clown sometimes.. cracking up his bros... especially his twin, Robin... that harmony is unparalleled... much appreciated!
In addition to being fantastic singers and songwriters, all three had a wicked good sense of humor. You mentioned Robin's serious side but he was also just as funny if not more so as Maurice. As big as they were they never took themselves too seriously although in my opinion they would have had that right because they were just that good. They were the best of the best of the best and I feel so lucky to have been here at a time when they were starting out and any given week could see them on the Johnny Carson show, The Midnight Special etc etc. To top it all off the three of them were really nice guys too and were good to their fans. I'm happy to see someone younger appreciate and acknowledge the raw talent that was the Bee Gees......thank you for that.
Growing up with the Bee Gees; I'm so glad people are reacting to them. The Bee Gees were the greatest ever! Their music touches your heart and soul! Pure perfection!
I love the Bee Gees, they are the best group ever. I have been privileged to have listened to them all my life. Each brother had a unique place and all were so talented. I'm so glad that you could see how each brother was so different but played and wrote music so well. Thank you, it's wonderful to see the younger generation appreciate the Bee Gees. Fyi Mo did have a drinking problem, he wrote and sang ....Man in the middle....which is about his life, it's a great song. Subscribed!!!
I understand Mo went to rehab for his drinking problem and did okay afterwards. When I heard Man in the Middle which he wrote and performs, I just felt it was autobiographical. I just wish Rob, Mo and Andy were all still here. I have been listening and buying their music since the 1970s. But the best was that I saw them in concert 4x through out the years. They were awesome and always put on a fabulous performance. I always loved them!!!
@@catherinedouglas8049 de muy mal gusto del reactor hacer ese comentario estúpido, ya que de esas épocas GLORIOSAS DE LA MUSICA, NINGUN GRUPO O SOLISTA SE SALVÓ DE CAER EN ADICCIONES, Y HAVIAN ESCANDALOS EN EL ESCENARIO, Y ROMPIAN INSTRUMENTOS Y MALTRATABAN AL PUBLICO. NADA MÁS LEJOS DE LOS BEE GEES. MAURICE SIEMPRE FUE ASÍ, AMIGABLE, ENCANTADOR, GRACIOSO, A LOS TWINS LES ENCANTABA HACER COMEDIA. ESTUVO DE MÁS MENCIONAR ÉSO. PUEDES VERLOS CON 6 AÑOS Y 9 AÑOS EN LA TV AUSTRALIANA, Y NACIERON DIOSES DE LA MUSICA...Y DEL CARISMA Y LA CORRECCION Y LA HUMILDAD... CUANDO REACCIONE A OTRO GRUPO QUE CUENTE LO QUE TOMABAN, SE INYECTABAN.... NO ME GUSTÓ ESO. LOS BEE GEES JAMAS FUERON UNOS "REVENTADOS" PERDIDOS...DESDE CHIQUITOS ERAN FABULOSOS Y SACARON A SU FAMILIA DE LA MISERIA. EXCELENTES CIUDADANOS EN TODOS LOS LUGARES QUE VIVIERON, EXCELENTES PERSONAS. NO ME TOQUEN A LOS BEE GEES CON COMENTARIOS DESUBICADOS!!!!! 😊 TENDRIAMOS QUE HABERLOS CLONADO.😔😔😔.... ❤❤❤❤❤
I grew up listening to the Bee Gees because of my mother. She had four vinyl albums.... Bee Gees, The Carpenters, Michael Jackson's Thriller, and Elvis. "Words," is by far my MOST favorite song of ALL TIME.
Some of their most beautiful music came from this time period. Maurice was awesome drunk or sober. None of them would have been as great without the other 2. Maurice said in an interview that 1 beegee is good. 2 are great. 3 are magic. He was right. Maurice had a great voice too.
The Bee Gees had. so much amazing different music over 5 decades! The 3 part harmony,their individual voices,their amazing songwriting and production skills! They were so AMAZING!!! Barry could sing anything and make it sound SO GOOD!!l Their songwriting was brilliant! The Bee Gees hit you in the Feels!!!
The Gibb family moved from England to Australia in 1958, and lived here until early 1967. They did some of their earliest TV appearances here. Barry wrote dozens of songs for the Bee Gees and others during those years. Even then, their harmonies were amazing 👏 I'm so impressed that you're only 30-something and appreciate them so much.
The Gibb family grew up in Australia so we are very proud of them all. R.I.P. Andy, Mo and Robin. Pretty sure those twins gave older Barry a really hard time..lol... Great senses of humour all of them. Our music was so good. The three bothers sang together from a very early age and had perfected the harmonies long before they hit the public. The disco era just showed their amazing talent.
Thank you for this! I have followed them from their 60’s music through the end….To me, they have never gotten the credit they deserved as singers, songwriters, performers, producers, musicians, etc. They could do it all and did it well!!! Loved your reaction to them.❤
Great reaction. This is the Bee Gees I like best singing around one microphone and I think their voices were at their best in this era in the mid 1970s.
I was born in the 90's but I grow up listening bee gees cause my dad, my house was like we were in the 70's and 80's only my dad touched in the song we were gonna to liste, so me and my brothers grow up and thinking this is nornal, hugs from Brazil
Bee Gees are legends and incomparable. Nobody can surpass them in terms in switching of tones and tunes. Sir Barry Gibb along with twin brothers Maurice and Robin are featured in the Book of Guiness as the most successful songwriters of all times. Sir Barry Gibb lately was knighted by King Charles.
Robin is my favorite... Have a hard time watching footage of him as I miss him... Fell in love with him when I was 8 and never let that feeling go... Mo was the funny one.. He would get along with my older brother... Not to be on Barry but I still played them....
My biggest and my favorite memories of the BeeGees were going to Skateland on Friday and Saturday night in the 70s . My real first experience falling in love with the BeeGees, and now I'm 60 years old, and I have learned to appreciate them so much more now. Im sad that Sir Barry is the lone man I know one day they will all be together again doing what they did best singing together and writing songs..I'm so happy the younger generations are finding the magic that is the BeeGees. I'm so grateful I grew up with these remarkable talents in my life . ❤

That last harmony between Maurice and Barry. Too many people underestimated Maurice because he rarely sang solo.
The Bee Gees are the GREATEST group to EVER grace the music world!! There will NEVER be another group like them!!
So much agree with you. There will never be another amazing and talented group like the BeeGees ❤
no, not even close. I'm not sure they're even the best disco band of all time.
I totally agree! They are absolutely the BEST!
I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only person moved to tears by the songwriting and harmonies of the Brothers Gibb.

Wow!!!
LOVE your love for the Bee Gee....& your avatar pic as well!🥰
Robins voice is simply incredible the technology has evolved but not the song writing and the vocals , it doesn't come better than this
As an old man i approve this
No one can beat the 🐝🐝🐝Gees
They were the best of the best ❤
👍😘
Bee Gees 1st, maybe the most underrated album of the 60s.
I’ve been listening to them since the 60’s and I very often tear up listening to them. Their voices, their lyrics, their beautiful Melodies just touch my soul. There are no greater than The Bee Gees!
Well said.
Me too
Best singing, writing, performing group I've ever heard in my 50 yrs of hearing and enjoying music
It's criminal that this performance hasn't been remastered and re-released.
I would spend wayyyy too much money on restored Bee Gees content. There isn’t nearly enough!
@@TheMusicKingdom Right?! I have a room full of my collection and monthly credit card bills to remind me of my purchases. Haha. Can't believe the Spirits doc isn't remastered and released.

People gotta learn!
Their pitch perfect harmony and Barry’s UNIQUE voice are beyond amazing.

i play their concerts over and over .I love when Mo sings lead.Man in the middle closer than close and many more
Im 55 and been a fan since 1977 when i was 10!! I am impressed with your analysis
The Brothers Gibb can make me tear up, too. I love your video! I'm sharing it. Thanks so much!💯out of 💯👌
I’m glad it’s not only me!
Robin was their treasure....that voice no one can ever compare!! Unique, sublime. His voice just touched your heart and took it away .
Think they all 3 were each others treasures!
The Brothers Brilliant never disappoint. Their harmony, range and strong writing skills are second to none!

Mo was such a cut up. I have loved the Brother Gibb since 1967, when at 7 I heard them on the radio and became a forever fan.
Excellent analysis of The Bee Gees! I couldn’t agree with you more on all counts, musically and personality-wise. Amazing group!
young people unluckily dn't know that the music is something of human talent that's called art. And luckily, there is the internet and they can go back to the time and take the good music into their lives.
Their music is beautiful! Sad that Robin and Mo left us so soon. Barry was collaborating with several other artists in Nashville. He played the Grand Ole Opry plus released a new record called “Greenfields” I believe. I am 71 and love their music, it’s timeless. Also appreciate Elvis, Credence Clearwater Revival cannot forget Phil Collins.
Loved Greenfields!
Please do more videos on the Bee Gees!
Yes. Please do more of the BeeGees.
Hi from Australia, sorry I don’t know your name but I just want to thank you for your reactions to the Bee Gees. I have been a huge fan since my early teens in the 60’s and never got to any of their concerts (unfortunately) but have loved being able to watch many RUclips videos of them. I especially love Robin’s voice and Maurice’s fun antics. I loved their early songs but also love their songs from the 80’s & 90’s like ‘For who. The bell tolls, Winds of change, ‘Spirits having flown’ and all of them really. I have heard them say in interviews that being brothers is what makes their harmonies work so well. Also their passion for music and all having the same goal contributed to their success over many decades. The videos of them telling their own stories of how they started singing when Barry was 9 and the twins were 6 is just so interesting. And I love their humour and the way they bounce off each other in interviews. Thank you again for sharing about the Bee Gees here on your channel. I enjoyed it very much.
Thank you so much!
This is one of their most beautifully sung medleys I’ve ever heard. Brought me to tears 😂
That was the Soundstage appearance. I loved it. Came out before VCRs. But when I knew it was going to be rerun on PBS , I managed to capture the audio onto a tape player from the tv. That short version of World is magnificent. World is one of my faves. That whole performance was the bomb. I was so happy when this came onto YT, so many years later.
Here here!!!!☝️💯💥🫡 ❤
Barry was scalded by pulling down a hot pot of tea onto himself at about 18 months,and nearly died .His mother Barbara said he did not speak until age three because of the trauma.
He suffers with arthritis,but somehow continues to carry on.
Though he covers it well sometimes when on stage you'll notice his stance changes a lot.He needed back surgery ,but kept performing with his brothers.
They are amazing.
I did not know that! His parents must have felt awful! AWFUL!!! Gotta watch those babies!!
@@zimjun7 The information is in the BeeGees most recent Documentary.
@@beeseewill2407 - Robin was also in the Hither Green train crash in London when he was 17. @ 50 died on the spot and he had to pull out dead and mangled bodies and narrowly avoided decapitation by a train rail that went through the window where he was sitting. He had PTSD for the rest of his life. Barry was also lucky to survive his burns. Burns are horrendously painful.
You have to watch their shows when they were young Robin was really funny growing up, he got a bit more serious the older he got. They started singing when they were young, there are shows and interviews that show you all sides of them . In fact all three were funny 🤣 their interviews are a must to watch 👍🏻🤩🏴
I've never seen this performance. It is fantastic because of the minimal music. You can hear their voices so clearly and it shows what perfect singers they were with the once in a lifetime harmonies.
To what I understand, when the Bee Gees left Australia and returned to England to meet and team up with Robert Stigwood (RSO Label).
Barry and Robin Gibb wrote the song when they were sitting on a darkened staircase at Polydor Records following a power cut. The echo of the passing lift inspired them to imagine that they were trapped in a mine.[The song recounts the story of a miner trapped in a cave-in. He is sharing a photo of his wife with a colleague ("Mr. Jones") while they hopelessly wait to be rescued.
You have an old soul ❤
Love this - Mo was such a character 🥰😆🥰 They were such a phenomenal group ❤❤❤
Hi
I enjoyed your appreciation for all that is the Bee Gees
There’s a reason we clap for Robin. We LOVE him. For me and many others, he was the real sex symbol. Plus THAT VOICE ❤❤❤
I've been listening to and watching the Bee Gees since the 1960s in Australia, when they were entering TV talent competitions. My first real concert was at the Sydney Showground in 1970-71 when they had returned to tour Australia. In 2000 they sold out the new Olympic Stadium prior to the 2000 Olympic Games and I was there. I love their music for all the reasons you gave.
History Check: Stayin Alive fifth biggest single of all time with 31 million single sold worldwide 👍 The Brothers Gibb claimed from in a survey 2017 of all radiostations around the globe, as most airplayed group all time in 2017- every 20 seconds - a Barry, Robin, Maurice tune is playing around the world and for sure they are the most iconic group of the 70´s decade.
They a part of our shared cultural heritage now - one of those pop miracles that just never gets old, never wears off, never loses its charge. As reference their biggest banger Stayin alive. You can not denied talent when you see it and how mesmerising the are becoming to one of the most influenced and covered musician collective in the history of music. 220 million sold records, plus 150 million sold record for other artists like Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Celine Dion, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Take That etc. Michael Jackson was the biggest fan of them and Stayin Alive his inspiration for the Thriller album. 🔥
Thank you very much for this program! I love Bee Gees and I listen to their music every day! The brothers are talented!
Respect! You understand the dynamics. They can be so underrated so your explanation was appreciated.
Agreed.
Damn, every single word you spoke is like coming out of my mouth. Since 1968, when I first saw them in German TV, singing 'To Love Somebody', I'm what's to call a die hard fan. And it's so cool, to realize that they still have a big impact to younger generations. The reason is clear, they just own a level of art in music, which is to describe as genius at all. No chance to compare, whoever will try.
Agreed!
The film was called "Saturday Night Fever" They wrote a song called "Night Fever" that was used in the film.
I am old enough to recall many of the Bee Gees songs first hand. I was born in 64 but I was aware of, and recall, music from a very early age. I do remember Massachusetts - I was about 3 I couldn't spell it then and had no idea what it was but I continually repeated it - as I grew older I truly loved the BeeGees. RUclips has allowed me to appreciate the years from 1958 until they returned to Britain and I truly could take in their music. It is fab to be able to relive it all over again because all my vinyl is gone now and my cassettes are stretched. This is fab.
My 25 yr old daughter loves the BeeGees, as do her dad and I. We even named our boxer/bulldog mix Biji. She was such an amazing dog. The BeeGees aren’t talked about as much as they should be. I’m so glad that you’re paying tribute to the days of ‘ol. There was some timeless music made in my lifetime. Heck, the hit of the year that j was born is Bohemian Rhapsody! Good luck to you!
Just for context, The first song played here was “1941 Mining Disaster”, their fist stateside hit in 1967. “Run to Me” was 1972. “World” was 1967. “I Can’t See Nobody”also from their first album.”How Can you mend a broken heart” was 1971. The quality of their voices blending was certainly wondrous.
I live a block away from Maurice Gibb Memorial Park in Miami Beach. I've seen Barry perform locally here as he's a Miami Beach resident. As a child of the 60s, I grew up listening to them and love rekindling that today.
Im glad i was born in 2955. I heard a lot of great music ober the years
The silent telephone
The turning of the key
It's still inside of me, I'm not ashamed...
The Bee Gees “ Will you still love me tomorrow”
Just loved these guys. The harmony is absolutely fantastic. There’s no talent like that now. I love the older music as a young person.
Robin was not serious! He was shy, but he was extremely funny, as they all were! You can see this in their interviews
Maurice's humor was more family friendly joking, but Robin was sharp and his humor eccentric and clever word play!! Barry said "Nobody could compete with Robin's wit".
I am grateful to have been part of this era of genius singers and songwriters such as the Brothers Gibb. There are millions of fans like us around the world, who I imagine feel the same way, that the Bee Gees are the best of the best, on so many levels!!! Thank you for your reactions. It's great to have the younger generations enjoy and appreciate their extraordinary talent ...
Born in the 60s and LOVED, still do, all the BeeGees!! Andy Gibb was my childhood heart throb! I hadn't seen this reviewed yet but truly enjoyed, thank you!
Best band ever! So glad the music is alive and being appreciated by the younger generations.
I am from Austria, heard their songs 4 times during the last 4 weeks in our grocerys and radio! Love them since 40 years, the greatest ever, in my opinion, and I also love Bowie, Queen, Beatles, Guns n Roses, M. Jackson......BUT the bee Gees are the only group (artist), where I love soooo MANY songs and I discover every week new songs, I ve never heard before or knew, that they wrote (and sung) it and I also can hear the songs 10 times in a row without being bored.
Love the bee gees I'm a big rock fan but open to all types of music they were brilliant
I miss these guys thanks for that information. I❤
Run to Me brings tears.❤
This entire concert is a blast to watch. Best group ever. ❤
MK!!, You have done a great and wonderful reaction to the Bee Gees. Thank you ever so much for this. 🙏
I like you Frances. You are so in to them as I am! You have nice reactions.❤
I totally agree about these guys !!!! Talent so much more than the disco..... they could do anything
Thanks! I've always loved Robin for his incredible quaver... and Maurice could hit all those notes, as well.. he was a bit of a clown sometimes.. cracking up his bros... especially his twin, Robin... that harmony is unparalleled... much appreciated!
This is such a great performance. Probably my favorite live performance of Run To Me. Robin just sounds like a friggin' angel.
In addition to being fantastic singers and songwriters, all three had a wicked good sense of humor. You mentioned Robin's serious side but he was also just as funny if not more so as Maurice. As big as they were they never took themselves too seriously although in my opinion they would have had that right because they were just that good. They were the best of the best of the best and I feel so lucky to have been here at a time when they were starting out and any given week could see them on the Johnny Carson show, The Midnight Special etc etc. To top it all off the three of them were really nice guys too and were good to their fans. I'm happy to see someone younger appreciate and acknowledge the raw talent that was the Bee Gees......thank you for that.
Growing up with the Bee Gees; I'm so glad people are reacting to them. The Bee Gees were the greatest ever! Their music touches your heart and soul! Pure perfection!
Well done, thank you very much...yes well done indeed.
I love the Bee Gees, they are the best group ever. I have been privileged to have listened to them all my life. Each brother had a unique place and all were so talented. I'm so glad that you could see how each brother was so different but played and wrote music so well. Thank you, it's wonderful to see the younger generation appreciate the Bee Gees. Fyi Mo did have a drinking problem, he wrote and sang ....Man in the middle....which is about his life, it's a great song. Subscribed!!!
I understand Mo went to rehab for his drinking problem and did okay afterwards. When I heard Man in the Middle which he wrote and performs, I just felt it was autobiographical. I just wish Rob, Mo and Andy were all still here. I have been listening and buying their music since the 1970s. But the best was that I saw them in concert 4x through out the years. They were awesome and always put on a fabulous performance. I always loved them!!!
@@catherinedouglas8049 de muy mal gusto del reactor hacer ese comentario estúpido, ya que de esas épocas GLORIOSAS DE LA MUSICA, NINGUN GRUPO O SOLISTA SE SALVÓ DE CAER EN ADICCIONES, Y HAVIAN ESCANDALOS EN EL ESCENARIO, Y ROMPIAN INSTRUMENTOS Y MALTRATABAN AL PUBLICO. NADA MÁS LEJOS DE LOS BEE GEES. MAURICE SIEMPRE FUE ASÍ, AMIGABLE, ENCANTADOR, GRACIOSO, A LOS TWINS LES ENCANTABA HACER COMEDIA. ESTUVO DE MÁS MENCIONAR ÉSO. PUEDES VERLOS CON 6 AÑOS Y 9 AÑOS EN LA TV AUSTRALIANA, Y NACIERON DIOSES DE LA MUSICA...Y DEL CARISMA Y LA CORRECCION Y LA HUMILDAD... CUANDO REACCIONE A OTRO GRUPO QUE CUENTE LO QUE TOMABAN, SE INYECTABAN.... NO ME GUSTÓ ESO. LOS BEE GEES JAMAS FUERON UNOS "REVENTADOS" PERDIDOS...DESDE CHIQUITOS ERAN FABULOSOS Y SACARON A SU FAMILIA DE LA MISERIA. EXCELENTES CIUDADANOS EN TODOS LOS LUGARES QUE VIVIERON, EXCELENTES PERSONAS. NO ME TOQUEN A LOS BEE GEES CON COMENTARIOS DESUBICADOS!!!!! 😊 TENDRIAMOS QUE HABERLOS CLONADO.😔😔😔.... ❤❤❤❤❤
I am 75 and still enjoy the BeeGees. I love their music and their harmonies. Please show more of them. Never get tired of the BeeGees. Thank you ❤
Each generation has a new catalogue of songs. Their voices strengthened and became more diverse. Lyrics always great❤
I grew up listening to the Bee Gees because of my mother. She had four vinyl albums.... Bee Gees, The Carpenters, Michael Jackson's Thriller, and Elvis. "Words," is by far my MOST favorite song of ALL TIME.
Some of their most beautiful music came from this time period. Maurice was awesome drunk or sober. None of them would have been as great without the other 2. Maurice said in an interview that 1 beegee is good. 2 are great. 3 are magic. He was right. Maurice had a great voice too.
Never boring. Perfect harmonies. Pure talent yes, and amazing lyrics. Love these guys. Just subscribed. More Bee Gees please
Well said.
The Bee Gees had. so much amazing different music over 5 decades! The 3 part harmony,their individual voices,their amazing songwriting and production skills! They were so AMAZING!!! Barry could sing anything and make it sound SO GOOD!!l Their songwriting was brilliant! The Bee Gees hit you in the Feels!!!
The Gibb family moved from England to Australia in 1958, and lived here until early 1967. They did some of their earliest TV appearances here. Barry wrote dozens of songs for the Bee Gees and others during those years. Even then, their harmonies were amazing 👏 I'm so impressed that you're only 30-something and appreciate them so much.
Thank you! Younger, actually 😉
@@TheMusicKingdomLol, yeah I realised that after I posted.
The Gibb family grew up in Australia so we are very proud of them all. R.I.P. Andy, Mo and Robin. Pretty sure those twins gave older Barry a really hard time..lol... Great senses of humour all of them. Our music was so good. The three bothers sang together from a very early age and had perfected the harmonies long before they hit the public. The disco era just showed their amazing talent.
Thank you for this! I have followed them from their 60’s music through the end….To me, they have never gotten the credit they deserved as singers, songwriters, performers, producers, musicians, etc. They could do it all and did it well!!! Loved your reaction to them.❤
Real original natural talent
Genius and humble
Really their talent is so unappreciated
God given
Thank you..I'm 71 and enjoyed bgs all my life
Great reaction. This is the Bee Gees I like best singing around one microphone and I think their voices were at their best in this era in the mid 1970s.
I was born in the 90's but I grow up listening bee gees cause my dad, my house was like we were in the 70's and 80's only my dad touched in the song we were gonna to liste, so me and my brothers grow up and thinking this is nornal, hugs from Brazil
Bee Gees are legends and incomparable. Nobody can surpass them in terms in switching of tones and tunes. Sir Barry Gibb along with twin brothers Maurice and Robin are featured in the Book of Guiness as the most successful songwriters of all times. Sir Barry Gibb lately was knighted by King Charles.
They didn’t need all the extras, their voices were just sublime.
Robin described their harmonies as a " Biological Blend"
Robin is my favorite... Have a hard time watching footage of him as I miss him... Fell in love with him when I was 8 and never let that feeling go... Mo was the funny one.. He would get along with my older brother... Not to be on Barry but I still played them....
Have loved the Bee Gees forever. So so much talent and nice to look at too! Best ever!💕
My biggest and my favorite memories of the BeeGees were going to Skateland on Friday and Saturday night in the 70s . My real first experience falling in love with the BeeGees, and now I'm 60 years old, and I have learned to appreciate them so much more now. Im sad that Sir Barry is the lone man I know one day they will all be together again doing what they did best singing together and writing songs..I'm so happy the younger generations are finding the magic that is the BeeGees. I'm so grateful I grew up with these remarkable talents in my life . ❤
