Barry was always considered the best looking one, but y'know there's just something about Robin's quirky looks that gets me 🥰 And his quavering vibrato... Nothing else like it! All three (four, with Andy) were AMAZINGLY talented.
I would agree with you, yet there are many current bands that sound great, yes they are not as famous and I can only hope they do become as famous as the Bee Gees but I'd suggest you check out bands like The milk carton kids (I know, don't be fooled by their name haha), check out their song Michigan for instance, other artists I can think of are a few that came together to cover a Neil Young song, they are AJ Lee and the Brothers Comatose (again, don't pay attention to names haha) and their rendition of Harvest moon, although it's not an original of theirs it's gorgeous! Outside of full on three part harmonies though I'd recommend for instance the Tedeschi Trucks Band and their beautiful vocalists, the lead singer is a very good guitar player as well, her husband who plays slide and other styles is legendary, their backup vocalists are top notch and even their hammond/keyboard player is a great singer! They have a horn section, two drummers, they are amazing!! Look for them live on here, some people posted great shows of theirs just a few days ago in Atlanta! Also, I just thought of another great duo with great harmonies, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlngs, they might have parted now (though I'm not sure) but were still performing, writing and singing beautiful harmonies just a few years back. Many other bands that are not famous as Lady Gaga but what can you do, it's up to us to put them out there and buy their work and go see them live (financially support their efforts, as back in the Bee Gees days it was "much easier", now the internet gives it up for free...).
Look kids - three brothers, playing instruments, singing in perfect harmony - no auto tune, singing timeless classic songs they wrote themselves flawlessly in front of a live audience. It used to be what a performer needed to be considered a talent.
They had a whole career before Saturday Night Fever. I love their early music. They really were very, very talented and get painted with a broad brush re: disco years.
If you're here...you probably know the songs already....for those who don't 00:00 New York Mining Disaster 1941 01:29 I Started A Joke 02:20 Massachusetts 03:53 How Can You Mend A Broken Heart? Amazing stuff!! I remember seeing this as a young kid, when it first aired. Great then, and even greater now! WOW!
The Midnight Special days were the best. So much good music on the TV every week, and when the Bee Gees were on they were always fantastic. I miss those days and the Bee Gees.
I'm gonna say it, in my teens I was not a Bee Gee's fan. That being said, now at 65, I am astounded at their harmonies. Live, they are unequalled. I have come to truly appreciate them so much over the years.
We used to get together for The Midnight Special. The harder bands came on in the late part of the show. Today's " artists" could never do what these artists did back then. I grew up to their best music, before Disco and I started a Joke got to everyone...Such a beautiful song. Robin was a gift to all of us. Robin's voice was...... Angelic .... All 3 of them was perfection..
These brothers we born to be musicians. Not only they could sing, they were creative song writers and adapted to changes that occurred over the 60s, 70s and 80s. Their downfall was their very high output of songs that made them dominate the music industry during the late 70s. Easily one of the most melodic group of singers that did not need any props or backup.
I wasn't alive when this stuff aired but being able to experience musical performances like this for the first time and with such visual/audio clarity is such a treat! Thank you, folks at Midnight Special, it means a lot and I hope you keep going!
No matter what they did you always knew it was them, nobody sounded like them. Most of their music usually made you feel better. Even Saturday Night Fever was a great soundtrack even if you didn’t like disco.
@@kthor Честно говоря, я не понимаю людей, которые считают, что братья и сестры важнее, чем жена и дети!! Мне даже интересно спросить у этих комментаторов, есть ли у них семья, дети и как они к ним относятся!! В жизни настоящего мужчины на первом месте должны быть жена и дети, о них он должен думать в первую очередь, о них заботиться!! А об остальных родственниках можно подумать на досуге, если останется свободное время!! Я не понимаю, почему они все пишут такую глупость, что Барри остался один?!! У Барри есть любящая, преданная жена, прекрасные, заботливые дети, внуки! Он счастливый человек, доживает свой век в любви и заботе своих близких!! Эту любовь и заботу он никогда не получил бы от своих братьев!!
Perfect leadvocals of Barry and Robin to hear like nearly always. But also listen to Maurice, doin' harmonies on point. Sometimes a lower third voice and even the highest to hear on these tracks.
They were so talented, so versatile, so harmonious. The greatest ever. Far better than the Beatles in my book without taking anything away from the Liverpool lads of course…
I always looked forward throughout the decades for their medley at every live performance and, in my opinion, it didn't get any better than that. Usually two guitars and three amazing men singing behind one microphone. Sheer perfection!
Or at least ONE close-up of Mo's sweet face!🤓?(#PoorMo!🤐lol.) But Otherwise, another excellent Midnight Special video!!!😍😎 AND Robin took lead on almost every song, even during the medley!😊 Love these! Please, Keep them Coming!!😉
@@ellenmontgomery8533 And you wonder WHY Mo told Lynn Redgrave that he often felt unworthy, like he didn't pull his own weight!?🤔😜 I'm just kidding around, of course! (However Mo did say that, or something along that line?) BUT, all Bullshit aside, Mo was simply caught between TWO Very Heavy Weight Contenders in this Mega Talented band of Brothers!! Mo was Verrry Talented himself, of course!,😎 ...just not a strong lead-vocalist as both Barry and Robin??
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 Mo hardly ever sang lead, so he didn't have a hit song that they could include in the medley. I loved Mo's voice too, but I agree, not as strong as Barry's, and not as knock your socks off like Robin's. It's sad that he felt he wasn't pulling his own weight, the Bee Gees would not have been the same without him, or even stayed together all those years.
Какие красивые песни, какие замечательные братья.Сколько романтики, на душе радостно. Они как будто родные нам люди,хочется обнять,сказать им что-то хорошее.Спасибо братья ГИББ.СПАСИБО!
To all the young musicians out there Work hard work hard work hard on your Music. Not on your appearance or anything else and maybe one day we will all have some really good music again.
Any idea how old they were in this clip? Such sublime talent, song writers, singers, performers. Each thing is a unique skill set. They just had it all.
No existirà otra banda como los Bee Gees. Éstos hermanitos Gibb eran grandes genios de la música. Barry sigue triunfando a pesar de estar solito, en paz descansen Maurice y Robin 🌼🙏🌼. Barry te amaré por siempre. 💖🥰🤩😍😘💖

O único bonito ai é o Robin e o Maurice também.
Robin had such a beautiful, sensitive voice. Love the Bee Gees still!
Tearjerker of a voice.
The brothers are amazing.
Imagine being their mom and listening to them rehearsing on a Friday morning.
This blows apart all the modern music acts of today, three voices, perfect harmonies and two guitars

And no autotune, just pure talent.
so true @@SandrineVoxServices
This would make a MUCH better Super Bowl halftime show!
Two acoustic guitars and three great voices are enough to this magic.
Born for it. No question.
Yes I LOVED THE BEE GEES
Time will never tarnish these guys sound! They are a gift from God. Always in our hearts and minds!
This was American bandstand for grownups. There's nothing like this on television nowadays.
Many bands could not pull of a true performance, or an acoustic presentation of the "songs" now.
No auto tune or lip synching - just TALENT. Nothing like the absolute rubbish they foist on us now.
So true.
The BEE GEES 1960's catalogue of songs is well worth exploring.
Es verdad!
I’m 75 years old.I love The Bee Gees. Robin is my favorite. I do miss him sooo much❤️❤️❤️
Ele também é o meu favorito! ❤😊
Look kids - three brothers, playing instruments, singing in perfect harmony - no auto tune, singing timeless classic songs they wrote themselves flawlessly in front of a live audience. It used to be what a performer needed to be considered a talent.

The Bee Bees were to the Midnight Special what Al Green was to Soul Train. The best.
@@sandramclelland2674 Great way to put it and absolutely true!!

And playing live, not lipsynching!
When Robin sings "tomorrow". Perhaps the most unique voice in all of pop music.
Robin's voice is haunting.
I'm gonna say it, in my teens I was not a Bee Gee's fan. That being said, now at 65, I am astounded at their harmonies. Live, they are unequalled.
I have come to truly appreciate them so much over the years.
Same here…but I’m 69…always liked them but never really appreciated their unbelievable talent until I was much older.
That happens, you can always change your mind later on...The Bee Gees, lagendary!
Same here wow
Their disco years made them megastars but lost me also. Years later I became aware of their earlier songs and realized how good they were so young
The same for me ! Amazing
There will never be another band bigger the The Bee Gees
The Beatles
Robin had a once in a lifetime voice . They were so special .
He certainly did ❤
What talent. Those voices are pure magic. Those of us who grew up with this music are so fortunate.

Their voices are so together you can't tell who is singing what harmony. Phenomenal talent.
These guys have (had) the most unusual (and beautiful) harmony in the entire history of song.
So wonderful to hear Robin sing, and to see him smile. These guys are angels😇
Il sorriso di Robin mi fa sciogliere... ❤❤❤❤
I fell in love with Robin Gibb during this medley. I was fourteen years old. ❤
Yes. Am happy seeing him smile. Seems serious often. Love the Bee Gees.😊😊😊😊
Must say something here…just three guys and two guitars…my back went chilly and goose bumps on my arms. ! Could anybody else match this?!
Maurice on high harmonies - he is so accomplished. So underrated.
Robin has returned among the angels , he descended on earth to give us his voice as a gift. Voices like those , cant be matched.
These brothers we born to be musicians.

Well said!👍
Our pleasure!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The BeeGees started out as 3 young boys wanting to one day make it in the music industry. You can see their beginnings here on RUclips.
Never be another like the Bee Gees harmony. It will will never be matched.
Wow absolutely amazing.
Only one word describes their music for me....PERFECTION....
Perfection, an exact word that defines the Bee Gees! Congratulations! 👍🏻🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻❤️
Love to see Robin happy and smiling!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
It seems almost surreal to see them when they were this young and with this high quality video and audio. They were ridiculously good.
I can only hope that these three know the impact that they have made on our life
No matter what they did you always knew it was them, nobody sounded like them. Most of their music usually made you feel better. Even Saturday Night Fever was a great soundtrack even if you didn’t like disco.
Live perfection. We always eagerly awaited their medleys. I am loving these performances with such great audio and visual quality. Thanks so much.
Our pleasure! Feel free to spread the word.

Puts a lump in my throat

I love Robin's beautiful smile at 2:28 😍❤️
Feel empathy for Barry,being on his own now,not totally because he has his family,but you know what I mean
It was really hard for him for a few years, but think he's in a good place now. He's got the most loving & supportive family.❤️

The sheer emotion from them is beautiful
Perfect leadvocals of Barry and Robin to hear like nearly always. But also listen to Maurice, doin' harmonies on point. Sometimes a lower third voice and even the highest to hear on these tracks.
Many people did not realise that it was Mo on the top line in harmonies.
My favorite performances from them are acoustic and the three at a microphone.
Simply unbeatable!
Robin! You are so lovely. Your voice is perfection.
Been a Bee Gees fan since a preteen in 1967 and still love them !
I loved their early stuff, played their first few albums to death. Had the Odessa album with red velvet cover. Such great songwriters at an early age!
Phenomenal. Magnificent. Superior. Beautiful. Handsome. Humble. Lovable. Talented. Wholesome. One of a kind.
I’m watching now April 2024. I am so glad i found this video. The best ever happened in music industry❤❤❤❤

@Yo Ya
This was in April, 1973 (before their birthdays that year), so...
Barry (born 9/1/46) was 26 and the twins (born 12/22/49) were 23.
I’ve been to several tapings of the Midnight Special including a couple the The Bee Gees hosted, those were the days…Burbank CA.
so talented, I am glad I am old enough to have lived through this genre in real time...
Another quality video of the Bee Gees from this channel.
❤
Thank you. Much appreciated.
So nice of you
Best band of the last 60 years
Absolutely stunning performances!
Loved these guys forever, ❤, got to see them in concert in Saskatoon in 1972! ♥️
Lucky! I didn't know they came to Canada

Robin looks like an angel in that red turtleneck. ❤
Harmony makes my heart melt
They were musical geniuses
Nothing like their pre-disco songs! I prefer the older songs.
This is better than the recordings or at least on par.
What a blessing it must feel like to express yourself musically and connect with others. They are perfect.❤
Everyone has a musical act that means more to them than any other. The Brothers Gibb are mine.
