Fun fact ....they actually sang two songs rolled into one seamlessly.....#1 Night Fever and the 2nd one More than a Woman.....both from their SNF album......
For those who were not around in the day when The Bee Gees were all over the world live on television In concert On talk shows and YES They sounded exactly like the video too much heaven. Exactly. They are simply a god gifted extraordinary trio. No one compares and if they do. They are copying The Bee Gees.
The One Night Only Tour in Las Vegas was their final tour. Barry was in so much pain from his back that he just couldn't do any more so they decided to do this one!
When the Bee Gees appeared on talk shows they would often sing. Sometimes they had a guitar with them and sometimes they would just sing acapella. Those were very special impromptu performances and there are several here on RUclips that you can view just to hear their voices without anything backing them up. Barry is currently involved in a movie biopic about the Bee Gees. The actors who will play these three iconic singers have yet to be determined but I will definitely be seeing it! This is one of their performances live on TV: ruclips.net/video/WfVMtNf6MXU/видео.html
Those were some of the best performances I’ve ever seen the ones where they just sing a cappella they always bring me to tears. These guys are just unbelievably talented. Talented doesn’t even seem like a big enough word they’re just geniuses.
~ At the height of the Bee Gees career I dated George Terry who worked as lead guitar on some of their recordings at Criteria Studios. In some of our discussions he told me the names of some performers that lip-synced during concerts and performances but he assured me that the Bee Gees never did...just sayin'. 🙂
Amazing Voices Amazing Song Amazing Bee Gees. I grow up with the best Group ever. I love the Bee Gees. They had so many Songs. And every Song is a surprice. Lets have fun of the rest from the Bee Gees. 🕺🥰👍
The "Too Much Heaven" video wasn't a lipsync in the way we normally use the term - it was a live performance where they then replaced the audio with the original studio track to create a music video, because that's how music videos got made in the 70s. The Bee Gees were just remarkably good at being on time so it looks like a lipsync.
Another thing to realize is the fact that this is nearly (if not more than) 20 years after the studio release. It usually takes more to hit the notes the older a performer gets. But I agree completely, their harmony together, never wavered. They mastered it and never, ever lost it.
This show was live and Barry had a very bad back at the time so every time he went high it hurt his back. And why the long notes were shorter than usual. In the dvd you could occasionally see him grimace in pain as he turned away from the crowd, and it was worse as the concert went on. They still put on a great well harmonized show.
The Bee Gees grew up singing folk and country songs in Australia in the 50s. Barry Gibb sang baritone/lead and didn't know he could sing falsetto like that until the 70's. They realized the pop sound was headed for the dance floor and they got to work making Disco songs. For anyone else, that would be their head voice, but Barry's falsetto comes from his diaphragm making it possible to sing like that all night long without wearing out. No auto tune or layered in background vocals, just some kids that sang together their entire lives. Smokey Robinson may be the only other singer that can create such a warm texture in his voice as the Bee Gees do, but that's only on a few tracks. Listen to original recordings loudly and hear their diction, how they finish notes, their trails and stops... they were tapped into something deep into the human spirit and we all feel something when they sing.
They had so many hits that in concert they often did "medleys" where they combined certain songs. This is a medley of "Night Fever" and "More Than a Woman". I think that most of the official videos that were put out were problably lip sync, but they absolutley did most of their songs live (excpet Fanny Be Tender, which was way too complicated vocally even when they were in their prime). Some of my favorite live performances are when they are in interviews and just start in with the harmonies acapella or with Barry strumming his guitar. There is a live version of "Blue Island" on MTV where Barry and Mo are both strumming and the vocals are stunning.
This performance was 20 years after "Too much heaven", these guys could sing, consider this is also 30 yrs of their career which was amazing in itself. They're doing two different songs here, both great. "More than a woman" and "Night fever". The video for " Too much heaven" was the studio recording session, I sent you them doing it live live 2 years later, they're amazing. Autotune was invented until 1999. The song that has a lot of amazing vocal layering is Fanny (be tender with my love), check it out.
😃Calm down, not your fault, but it is a medley of two separate songs-- Night Fever, and More Than a Woman. In concert they regularly had to resort to medleys because they had so many hits everyone wanted to listen to this, that, or the other, so they would string together a medley--sampling of as many as 5 songs at a time to get in 40-50 years of hits.
You were right, my man... Too Much Heaven was a music video, not a live performance..."The recording process was the longest of all the tracks on Spirits Having Flown as there are nine layers of three-part harmony, creating 27 voices, though the high falsetto voices are the most pronounced in the final mix" (Wikipedia)
I've listened to the BeeGees my whole life, I was a preteen when I first heard them on The Ed Sullivan Show. I have loved them ever since! Please react to Wedding Day. They have sibling harmony and that's the best kind.
Great comments. There are two songs here: Night Fever then More than a Woman. Just sayin 😂 Love these guys any old way. Live is just fantastic, but acapella is another level. You should here them on the Des O'connor show. They had their acoustic guitars but there was some acapella as well. Also in some interviews, they just break out into glorious three-part harmony, all the while joking around and ad-libbing hilarious one-liners.
I’ve watched the first interview after Robin’s death. It was months later. It was extremely painful for Barry. Very emotional. He said it was the first time he had cried. I felt so bad for him. He did say it was the beginning of his healing. 😢
In 1989, Melbourne, One For All - Tour, they sang a medley with 'Too Much Heaven' included, but sung with their natural chest-voices which is also good. And believe it or not, on the studio-version with a complete orchestra and their own band, they sang live. But over many layers, mainly from Barry.
it was so common back in the day for music videos to be lip synced. so even the vids that looked live are recorded on a set with the sounds added to the video so...
The dancing you see on the screen in the background is from the movie Saturday Night Fever starring John Travolta! It was his first major role and the BeeGees did the soundtrack for that movie. I grew up in the late 70’s and 80’s and I still have their beings in my play list! You should check out their best song Staying Alive which was the main song of the soundtrack! Loving the channel!
He calls himself “ the last man standing”..after the last brother died, he went into a deep depression but his wife kicked his butt and told him to get out and do what he does best, make music. He does so now with a couple of his sons’ and sings occasionally with his niece. There’s an older sister, she lives and has always lived in Australia.
Thank you so much for this! The BeeGees been legit since the 60's. Please please please listen to or react to their early music? It is PHENOMENAL. Also, they wrote alot of songs for alot of very talented people.
They preferred singing into one microphone. You will see them singing into one microphone live when they did medleys at their concerts. You have to remember they are also over 20 years older here. They always said when they wrote or sang it was like they shared one mind.
In the studio each one of them had their own Mike sweetheart that they ain't going to fall back in the caveman days each one of them had their own mic in the studio but when they perform live they prefer to you utilize the unity with their voices in the studio they all have their own Mike's
It is indeed dad that only Barry is still with us. He is the oldest of all the brothers too. The youngest brother, Andy, passed away first at a very young age. I believe there was an older sister but I'm not sure if she's still alive. The Bee Bee's have given us so much great music; songs that they performed and songs that the wrote for others. Check out Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb...... "A Woman in Love"
As the oldest sibling of three children, most days are ok but there are days it's really hard to explain what I feel. I'm the oldest. My youngest brother was 56yrs old (cancer) 16yrs ago. The middle brother was 62yrs old (cancer) 12yrs ago. My nephew said we (siblings) had a secret language. We probably did.
There is a guy named Phil from a band called "Wings of Pegasus" who analyzes music and singers. He has technology that can pull the individual vocals from the music itself in order to see what the voices actually sound like etc, and he did this with the Bee Gees. Each brother's voice is pulled from the track and Barry's and Robin's amazed him! Here is the link, I think you will enjoy it www.youtube.com/@wingsofpegasus/videos
Once I heard this mash-up of Night Fever and More Than a Woman, it became my favorite way of hearing these 2 songs. Others commented on the vocal quality of the video, citing how much older they were, how many songs they had already sung that night. What also affected Barry's voice was problems with his back, which made singing falsetto difficult and painful.
I know this is gonna sound CRAZY to some people, but, I am, new to this RUclips experience. I am really enjoying watching your reactions! This video has the Bee Gees in a stadium and we aren't sure if this song was at the beginning, middle, or end of the concert. That could account for you being able to hear them.breathing into the mic. I also wondered would the fact that Too Much Heaven was in an enclosed room rather than an open area like the concert could have an affect on their sound?
Big difference singing in a live concert vs live in studio. This video is slso decades after the 70's recording. Even paul McCartney sounds different today than his beatle days.
The Bee Gees are the GREATEST group to EVER grace the music world.....There will NEVER be ANOTHER group like them.....EVER!!!!
what about acdc
@@doug.c.9873 - Sure, if you wanna compare fine wine to battery acid.
You have to take into account this performance is 20 years after they originally performed it! They still were amazing!
Fun fact ....they actually sang two songs rolled into one seamlessly.....#1 Night Fever and the 2nd one More than a Woman.....both from their SNF album......
Yes they sure did!🥰
4:00 difficult to catch for someone who hasn't heard them. Exact start of 2nd song is 4:04
For those who were not around in the day when The Bee Gees were all over the world live on television
In concert
On talk shows and YES
They sounded exactly like the video too much heaven.
Exactly.
They are simply a god gifted extraordinary trio.
No one compares and if they do. They are copying The Bee Gees.
The first part of the video was 'Night Fever', the last part was 'More Than A Woman'...two different songs. They did a lot of medleys singing live.
The One Night Only Tour in Las Vegas was their final tour. Barry was in so much pain from his back that he just couldn't do any more so they decided to do this one!
Best English band ever - And I'm an old Punk !
From the best movie sound track ever.

Wow, that is a great interview/performance - I hadn't seen that one before - thanks for sharing.
Those were some of the best performances I’ve ever seen the ones where they just sing a cappella they always bring me to tears. These guys are just unbelievably talented. Talented doesn’t even seem like a big enough word they’re just geniuses.
Bee Fees wrote music for movie Saturday Night Fever!! Started Disco age!!

@@Ladyfirst22 - A once in a lifetime group, that’s for sure! So happy to ‘meet’ you…I am now 3 degrees away from greatness! 😃✌🏻
We were raised on this. I bought this album as soon as it came out.in the 70s.❤I wore it out.💖💖
Yes, what R Baruah said...Night Fever is first, then the change is More Than A Woman.
They have done a beautiful version of Too much heaven in Medley 1989 in Melbourne. ❤❤
I would suggest the 1979 live version of "You Should Be Dancing" where all 4 of the Brothers sing together.
No need to be deprived...their music can be access!
VERY GOOD!! REACT FOR WHOM THE BELL TOOLS LIVE BEE GEES 1993..
Amazing Voices Amazing Song Amazing Bee Gees. I grow up with the best Group ever. I love the Bee Gees. They had so many Songs. And every Song is a surprice. Lets have fun of the rest from the Bee Gees. 🕺🥰👍

You're right, it is a family thing.
Try to the live show called 'Live by request.. The Bee Gees' where they play their songs live as requested by the fans
My Bee Gees Forever!! RIP Maurice, Robbin and baby brother Andy. Yep, it's from the movie, Saturday Night Fever.
Another thing to realize is the fact that this is nearly (if not more than) 20 years after the studio release. It usually takes more to hit the notes the older a performer gets. But I agree completely, their harmony together, never wavered. They mastered it and never, ever lost it.
"Night Fever" a movie with John Travolta in the 70's!
Something Barry said in an interview, is that he can still smell their breath, because of all those decades singing around one mic.
When the Bee Gees say live its live
This show was live and Barry had a very bad back at the time so every time he went high it hurt his back. And why the long notes were shorter than usual. In the dvd you could occasionally see him grimace in pain as he turned away from the crowd, and it was worse as the concert went on. They still put on a great well harmonized show.

That was when they were much younger. They just have great harmony. They are Great! They are the one and only Bee Gees!
For me, who grew up with the Bee Gees, it makes me happy that a new generation, can enjoy them.
Makes me happy that you appreciate the BEEGEES genius, and the music of my generation.
They had so many hits that in concert they often did "medleys" where they combined certain songs. This is a medley of "Night Fever" and "More Than a Woman".

There is a live version of "Blue Island" on MTV where Barry and Mo are both strumming and the vocals are stunning.
Their Midnight Special Medley 1975 was really good too. Still waiting for someone to react to it.
Well said & Blue Island would be an great reaction for you!👍
This performance was 20 years after "Too much heaven", these guys could sing, consider this is also 30 yrs of their career which was amazing in itself.

The song that has a lot of amazing vocal layering is Fanny (be tender with my love), check it out.
The way I see it as long as they are singing one of the layers used it isn't lip syncing. What they do post production is irrelevant to that issue.
They are so smooth you didn’t even realize it was 2songs
of course you can hear him breathing here because they were singing couple of songs without a break.
Because this is live whereas Too Much Heaven Official Video is not
Watch that whole concert 🎶 it’s awesome
😃Calm down, not your fault, but it is a medley of two separate songs-- Night Fever, and More Than a Woman.

I know I wasn't tripping! Them vocals sounded clean as hell on that video lol
I've listened to the BeeGees my whole life, I was a preteen when I first heard them on The Ed Sullivan Show. I have loved them ever since! Please react to Wedding Day. They have sibling harmony and that's the best kind.
Watch this whole concert & then give up the respect, praise & standing ovations for these g.o.a.t.s! ❣️🔥💃
This is "Night Fever" and then "More than a woman" ✌🌞
Thank you for another great video reaction!❤
Back in the day Barbara Streisand had a very public tiff when a record producer removed her breathing from her music...
“ kool and the gang “ did most of the instrumental on Saturday night fever ! Great album ! Great group !
He didn't start singing falsetto until 1975 for the Nights On Broadway song.
Great comments. There are two songs here: Night Fever then More than a Woman. Just sayin 😂 Love these guys any old way. Live is just fantastic, but acapella is another level.

Harmony, in it's purest form. I'm so grateful that i experienced this music in real time.
The two brothers that have passed are twins.

You shd check out Barry Gibb And Barbara Streisand duet!

Bringing back memories!

25 years later Im sure their breathing was starting to get a lil breathy.. they were in their 40s by then and still TORE IT UP...
This is fun to watch! Great job reacting to the Bee Gees they have a arsenal of hits!
2 songs more than a woman and night fever
You should listen to them sing..I could not love you more.
He calls himself “ the last man standing”..after the last brother died, he went into a deep depression but his wife kicked his butt and told him to get out and do what he does best, make music. He does so now with a couple of his sons’ and sings occasionally with his niece. There’s an older sister, she lives and has always lived in Australia.
I was born in 1969 but I loved disco music.
Andy Gibb is my favorite of the brothers Gibb Andy was very talented in his own right. He was oh so sexyyy. Sadly he passed away at 30 yrs old.😭
Really enjoy your thoughts and perspective.
Thank you so much for this! The BeeGees been legit since the 60's. Please please please listen to or react to their early music? It is PHENOMENAL. Also, they wrote alot of songs for alot of very talented people.
I really enjoy your reactions and your good taste in music.
These guys have been around a time let's keep them going
They preferred singing into one microphone. You will see them singing into one microphone live when they did medleys at their concerts. You have to remember they are also over 20 years older here. They always said when they wrote or sang it was like they shared one mind.

Studio recordings such as Too Much Heaven and live shows will sound different due to the mics, and background noise.
Say Hey Mugs. Love the reaction. The Bee Gees are their own special brand of amazing. I'm glad you 'get it' with these guys. It's fun to watch.
Check out Tavares more then a woman it’s my favorite version
It is indeed dad that only Barry is still with us. He is the oldest of all the brothers too. The youngest brother, Andy, passed away first at a very young age. I believe there was an older sister but I'm not sure if she's still alive.
The Bee Bee's have given us so much great music; songs that they performed and songs that the wrote for others.
Check out Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb...... "A Woman in Love"
Yes the sister is still alive.
It's a cardio exercise. The song Jive talking is the paramedics song for Heart ❤️ beat.
Too Much Heaven I believe was live.
I am with you 100% on the "too much heaven" video, in fact I posted a long explanation, I will retrieve it and post it here soon. Cheers Brother!
Great Reaction 👍🙏👍
Barry also has a older sister that is still alive.
As the oldest sibling of three children, most days are ok but there are days it's really hard to explain what I feel. I'm the oldest. My youngest brother was 56yrs old (cancer) 16yrs ago. The middle brother was 62yrs old (cancer) 12yrs ago. My nephew said we (siblings) had a secret language. We probably did.
Use to dance our asses off to that.
Barry is 51 at this concert! Robin and Maurice are 47! And they were still great!
The Bee Gees are the 6th biggest-selling artists of all time and 3 in the billboard hot 100!
Video of Las Vegas concert is available on RUclips!
Patty-At least he isn't completely alone. He has his older sister Leslie left. He's not totally alone.
You can listen to some live medley. Yes I want you to listen to the studio versions, also.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
He still has an older sister! His Mom had to bury 3 of her sons!
Think about the Osmonds... the Jacksons... the Beegees.... sibling/// just have it.
The Beach Boys too
Do you know how much older they are here? This is 20 years from when they did that album. They were already senior citizens in the 1990’s.
There is a guy named Phil from a band called "Wings of Pegasus" who analyzes music and singers. He has technology that can pull the individual vocals from the music itself in order to see what the voices actually sound like etc, and he did this with the Bee Gees.

I can’t see the video very much but I think this is when they’re older.
That’s Barry with falsetto, Robin, and Maurice, from Australia.
Forgot that…about who influenced.
You should watch the interview that sir George martin (producer of the Beatles) did with the BeeGees where they did an amazing a cappella song
I know this is gonna sound CRAZY to some people, but, I am, new to this RUclips experience. I am really enjoying watching your reactions!

Yeah, it would effect their sound I believe
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Big difference singing in a live concert vs live in studio. This video is slso decades after the 70's recording. Even paul McCartney sounds different today than his beatle days.
"Womb Harmony"
Their music is awesome
yes they you layers, i saw for they common, The studio version
