Just noticed -- since they were children, they always bowed after every performance, and this one is no exception. I read that their father taught them that.
That's Gratitude!!!
How handsome can you be, Barry???
and that amazing voice.❤️ I love all the details of your face..
"I Can Get Up Just as Fast as I Fall..." "To Whom it May Concern" is one of my favorite Bee Gees albums. This song strikes right at my heart. They were magnificent live. "I Know I Should be Going Somewhere. I Just Can't Arrive." They arrived!! Thank you for these wonderful memories!
Glad you are enjoying these, please help spread the word.
The channel is AWESOME & we're doing our part to spread the word!
@@kthor good
Wonderful voices! BEE GEES FOREVER!
Great performance! Here the voices of Barry and Robin sound very similar to each other. They merge so well that they sound like one voice.
That is the magic.
They sang this song together only in live performances. On the 1972 studio recording, Barry sang alone and the song went on the vinyl LP with only Barry's vocals. Robin had a particular problem and was absent on the day of the shoot.
@@niltonbartalini9837I did notice it was written by Barry & Mo, with no collaboration from Robin on the entire song....except him singing during this performance.🎼
I seriously cannot get enough of these Bee Gees performances. They’re absolutely incredible. ❤
There are a few more to come!
Sure hope so as we're loving it!🎼Will any of Andy Gibb's performances be on the channel?
Alive
@@themidnightspecialtvshow Can't wait to get to 1975!!!
Truly so!
Such a strong song. Thanxalot for bringin' it up to the light of day. Always loved it and it's perfect to have Robin involved here also. Not to forget Maurice, doin' some additional harmonies.
So talented and most people only know them for the disco songs and Saturday Night Fever. So much more to this band.
Yes... they have songs R&B, Soul, Country, Classic, Pop, Disco, and more...
Thank you Midnight Special for bringing this channel to RUclips There will never be another sibling singing trio again as great as the Bee Gees.
Thanks for listening
@@themidnightspecialtvshow My pleasure 🤗
Awesome!!! This is ‘Soul’!!! Barry’s voice at the beginning is wow!!!
Thanks a million for this clip.
Glad you enjoyed it
I don't know if you were able to get The Midnight Special way over there in Australia, Ally? But it was THE show that we all waited up for when we were young, over here in the States! #Awesome! Barry sounds super fantastic here!!😎
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 I don't think we did. I discovered it via the Bee Gees. It was a great show. Lovely to hear from you again. The US has been constantly in my thoughts these last few weeks. Finguers crossed tightly it all sorts itself out soon.
@@allymayful Ally, do you have their album Trafalgar? If so have you ever really listened to their awesome song titled 'Israel'? It's a totally Barry solo and magnificent!!! Especially towards the ending! Let's just say that Barry cuts Loose!!😉 I'm such a huge fan of Robins voice but I don't feel like anybody could improve on this this song.😍 ..Nope, not even Robin! And it's easy enough to find and listen to on RUclips, just in case you haven't ever heard it!😊
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 l know the title, but not sure that l have listened to it. I will look it up for sure. Nice to think that there is still some surprises out there. Thanks for the tip.
Robin is wonderful in these performances and Barry is handsome as usual. This song is beautiful.
I can’t believe this wasn’t a #1 hit!♥️
A gravadora não ajudou e a divulgação foram muito fracas. Era tempo de mudança, para pior, no que o pessoal deveria ouvir.
I have never heard this song of the bee gees before. I love it. So glad you shared it
He was beautiful then, his voice powerfull and the song is one of my favorites. ❤❤Bee Gees forever. ❤❤
Великая Группа! Великие Братья! Их творчество бессмертно в веках! Благослови их бог навсегда. Мы их никогда не забудем! И это не пустые обещания!
WOW!! The Bee Gees doing The Midnight Specials are so incredibly AMAZING!! This performance is one of their best ever!💫 And my sweet Barry..he's so beautiful..his voice so strong grabs you in the heart and won't let go..and me..I dont want him to let go! No matter what he sings or how he sings it he touches my very soul. I'm so thankful for him..all of them for blessing this world for all these years🙏 I have so much love and respect for these extremely talented men♥️ BEE GEES FOREVER💙💙💙🎶
A little history part of these song:
ALIVE
Barry Gibb, Maurice Gibb (1971)
21 October 1971
stereo 4:03, lead vocal Barry Gibb
To Whom It May Concern, 1972
Bee Gees
Barry Gibb - vocal, guitar
Robin Gibb - vocal
Maurice Gibb - vocal, bass, piano, guitar, organ
Alan Kendall - guitar
Geoff Bridgeford - drums
orchestra arranged by Bill Shepherd
engineer: Mike Claydon, Damon Lyon-Shaw, Richard Manwaring, Andy Knight
producer: Robert Stigwood and the Bee Gees
October 1971, IBC Studios, London
A week later they recorded two very good and very different songs that were released. Robin had the day off, and Barry’s recording work was limited to vocal on one song. Barry commented in the Tales from the Brothers Gibb box set that he does not even recall writing ‘Alive’. Was it mainly Maurice’s song? As mastered for the LP, the inherent dynamic range in the vocal and piano has unfortunately been compressed almost out of existence, but it still comes across as a expressive ballad. Note Maurice’s descending bass guitar toward the end (almost lost in the mix).
By Joseph Brennan
More, please.
oh my gosh, one of my absolute favorite songs of all time, and this is even better than the live version from carson or the album version. thank you so so so much!!!
Thank you for sharing, all the beegees clips are so precious with absolutely high resolution. ❤️ ❤
You are so welcome!
Written by Barry & Maurice Gibb...Actually, in the studio version, Robin has nothing to do with this song. Fantastic live version in super quality and Robin does a good job.
Robin teve problemas pessoais e teve que se ausentar no dia da gravaçã. A canção é maravilhosa, mas se fosse gravada com o trio de.vozes, ficaria ainda mais bela.
PERO ROBIN ES ESPECTACULAR !!! ES GRANDIOSO !!!!
Should've stuck with just Barry & Mo on this, like the studio recording. Robin had to steal Mo's spotlight, even when he didn't help write it.
Thank you so much for posting all these Bee Gees performances! I'm a huge fan and love watching clips from The Midnight Special. These Bee Gees performances are precious!
You're very welcome!
To Whom It May Concern Album 1972
The best forever ive listened all my life since i was 12 when my daddy died im 58 now still listening i had older siblings that bought their first album's and I've lost 3 siblings have every album that was made they died unexpectedly but i have them now...RIP Donna Layne Debbie & Daniel miss and love y'all every day of my life give mama & daddy a hug for me they know I love them 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Bee Gees for giving us the best music. This song is amazing!
I'm a fan of Bee Gees ever since when I was a kid. #BeeGeesForever
This are really special ! Hard to describe !
Love this song. Barry has remarked this is one song he doesn’t remember writing. 😂 I think it’s a commentary on their struggles at the time with record sales and their record company telling them they had to change their material or they would drop them. Love songs that showcase Barry’s soulful natural voice.
How many songs has he written since his brothers have been gone? What does that tell you about who was doing the creative work?
@@sierraseven3680 that’s an unfortunately twisted viewpoint. It’s apparent in interviews Barry struggled deeply with the loss of his brothers. He didn’t want to continue The Bee Gees after Mo died and was depressed when Rob died. He’s since written with his sons and collaborated with other artists. He’s also written songs he hasn’t recorded. He’s in a different phase in his life. That’s no reason to diminish the accomplishments of Barry and his brothers. They always worked as a team on Bee Gees songs. Barry also solo wrote for Andy, other artists and extensively produced.
Barry wrote a lot of song after loose his Brothers. He maked a new album called In The Now.
Yeah... Fifth in a row baby.. i love bee gees
I love this song so much - what a treasure!
Eu me encanto cada vez mais .❤❤❤BeeGees
What a beautiful song and fantastic performance! Thank you, The Midnight Special, for giving us these wonderful gifts. We are truly appreciating each and every video you are releasing and hope for more in the future.
With his powerful voice, Barry could sing hard rock if he wanted to.
Listen to their album Horizontal. Its not hard rock, but its the closest the Bee Gees got to heavy rock music I think. The Change Is Made as an example
Try "Wind of Change".
the best of his vocal belongs to the Mr. Natural and Main Course era.
@@sierraseven3680
Listen to "Down the Road".
@@PenneDriver his natural voice was most powerful in the whole Mr. Natural album.
Taken From The Album: To Whom It May Concern (1972)
Isso é pura arte. Sem comentários..
Los mejores sin duda !! Siempre Bee Gees !!!!!
How beautiful!! They were so great live!! Long live Barry - thank you for keeping The Bee Gees alive! ❤
Our pleasure!
YOUR WELCOME KEEPING THE BEE GEES ALIVE IS EASY WE BOTH LOVE THE BEE GEES AND THEIR SONGS
Surprising that Barry is not trawling through the Bee Gees live archive recordings for LP/CD releases!
Yes exactly thank you Barry for keeping the BeeGees alive i pray for you I've lost 4 siblings i know the pain the girls in their 20s 2 brothers in their 40s im 58 they were all babies i miss and love them so much!😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
Didn't know they also did Alive
Love the Bee Gees then and love them now in 2023 up to the last album the brothers did together in 2001 This is where I came in...the most talented extraordinary unique group ever and there will never be another like the Bee Gees...
Beautiful song...Barry is fantastic in this song...love it...God bless the BeeGees fans 🥰😍🙏👏😍🥰
Love how theses videos are being restored. 🥰
Glad you like them!
Best Sound
My all time Midnight Special if the BeeGees 1975, but the quality of the video could be better. Would love to see it remastered.
fantastic i cant get enough of you bee gees xxxxxxxxxxxxxgreat song
Show de canção...está no meu top 20 da obra....gratidão por compartir!
guauuu que grupo tan maravilloso !!! lindo me gusta mucho Robin canta con una pasión tan grande!!! lindo tema gracias. 👏👏👏👏
Olá. Excelentes vídeos. Muitas pérolas raras, nós fãs AGRADECEMOS a oportunidade de assistir.
De nada!
Mi vida
I remember hearing this one a few times back in the early 1970s. The trouble is, whenever I search for it, most of the results I get are for "Staying Alive".
❤❤❤
Thank you all for the info about this song!
I love them all..
❤❤❤
Love this song! All of the brothers Gibb are awesome in this performance.
It was written by Barry & Mo, & they're the ones who sang on the studio recording. Sadly, Robin sang Mo's part during this live performance. Once again, Mo was left out of singing his own song.
Muchas gracias. Esto es algo que espere por mucho tiempo !!
La tua giovinezza così fiorente e piena di energia mi rende ancora più difficile rendermi conto che non ci sei più 😢.Non ho potuto viverti e questo mi rattrista, ringrazio questi video che mi danno la possibilità di poterti ammirare!! Adorato Robin riposa in pace sempre nel mio cuore!!❤❤❤❤👄👄👄🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing, I love this song and any song from the Bee Gees. Alive 💕💕 💕
¡Majestuosos Bee Gees!!!
🎸🎸🎸👍🏻,🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻❤️
Barry Gibb Lead Vocals Robin and Maurice Back Up Vocals ❤❤❤❤❤
On the studio version, Robin doesn't sing at all. It's just Barry & Mo.
What a wonderful voice Barry had, which was his own, too bad he used it so rarely.
Barry is soooo 🔥❤😍😜😘
He's fire!!😍🔥🥰
Mmm hmm. His deep voice is extra sexy. I like that he has a naturally deeper voice. It makes him seem more virile. Manly. Haha. It works with his beard and mane and long strong legs and height. Whew. *waves hand in front of face*
@@BGWhispererTheirTopPop video of Alive is also excellent! Though it's the official audio so Robin's standing there not really singing, with poor Mo stuck in the back. It was written and sung by just Barry & Mo.
Смотришь документальные хроники их детства ,и глаза увлажняются -какие братья, как они любят друг друга. Какие они простые, доступные, не кичливые. Какие у них прекрасные родители, жёны, дети. Мир ихнему дому. Мы никогда не забудем эту семью .Редкое сочетание таланта и человечности ,доброты. Здоровья Барри, Лесли. Спасибо за всё.
One of my favourites.
Beautiful 😢
Wow never realised they were so good
They are much more then "so good"...
Love it! Thanks for posting. ❤
❤❤❤
Спасибо за публикацию !! Приятно слушать и смотреть !! Сплошной восторг !!👍👍👍❤❤👏👏👄👄🇷🇺🇷🇺
Maurice always said that Barry and Robin could sing together and sound like one voice. Beautiful BeeGees still loved May 2024.
Although Barry's voice was the strongest, that is true.🎼

❤️❤️❤️
Молодые! Красивые! Талантливые! Спасибо БИ ДЖИЗ !
che meraviglia 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love the Performances from The Bee Gees on the Midnight Special , I have the DVD set, but it doesn’t show these early episodes ( early 70s ) , I’ve seen performances from their Main Course Album and now To Whom it May Concern , but i don’t think they performed any music from their album Mr.Natural 😢that’s a great album
Loved this song when i was growing up, before I even really knew who they were
I never heard this one before.
❤
Barry has beautiful hair ❤
Ahh I wish he only had beautiful hair 🙄 every detail is a magnificent man.
@@Melke.2024 wow, you really love picking on fans, huh? Do you even know what you’re typing? Cos leane brown sure doesn’t
@@Thegeniuskidsuperb
I don't understand. Which fans did I make fun of when I wrote this?
@@Melke.2024 cause you said that you wish barry was the only one with beautiful hair and I feel embarrassed because I’m a Robin fan! Don’t you feel bad??
@@Thegeniuskidsuperb
no I did not want to say that. You understood it that way because I didn't write in my own language. I just wanted to say that Barry's hair isn't just beautiful, every part of him is beautiful. I wish only his hair was beautiful, I wrote everything about his as beautiful. There's nothing about Robin here. Why would I write something like this?
mi grandioso y dulce Robin !!! siempre seras mi amor eterno !!!❤😢
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Staying alive forever...
I love to see their funny show😂
What's with the tank top? And they're standing in the wrong places and it's driving me crazy! 😂
Maybe the image is flipped around.
@@iluvpepi Nope, their guitars would be backwards.
@@leeannep.7652 ok. For what it’s worth, I happen to like Robin’s tank.
Tank tops were pretty common for men in the 1970s. I remember Mick Jagger wearing them often.
2024 ❤
Patty-I really liked this. Another song of theirs I've never heard
Now we have Joe Biden and Taylor Swift
❤❤❤
Have always loved this song. 💜💜
Os BeeGees me surpreende com cada música que eu escuto .Eles eram sensacional. ❤❤❤
Goosebumps I got Goosebumps
Что произошло с чуваком в конце 70-х??? У него же был хороший, красивый, наполненный и выразительный голос. За каким лешим понадобилось корячить этот дикий фальцет? Но выстрелило, спору нет. Именно этим мерзким фальцетом спеты самые известные песни Bee-Gees...
Quite the unnecessary comment.
There’s nothing vile about Barry’s falsetto. In the world of falsettos it’s considered one of the best. This comment just makes you sound close-minded. To dismiss something completely like this just comes across as small. 🤷♀️ You don’t have to enjoy people using falsetto (hard to imagine why not-you’re missing out on some amazing songs), but try to have an open mind about it.
I don’t always like Robin’s singing style, but I can at least appreciate it as something unusual and extraordinary. And sometimes I do like his voice, and I think he adds to most songs.
I also really love Barry’s regular voice. It’s really strong, but can also be tender and beautiful.
I doubt they would’ve gotten so big without Barry’s falsetto. It’s what sent them into the stratosphere. That’s why Robin and Co continued to ask him to use it, because it was leading to success. 💰
There are many songs, before and after Fever, where he doesn’t use it. And in many songs where he does use it, he also often uses his regular voice, adding the falsetto artistically.
Once again, there’s nothing vile about his falsettos, but you don’t have to enjoy falsettos, even amazing ones. You could at least be able to acknowledge the exceptional skill, though. That’s being honest.
Su voz natural era buena pero el falsete en ocasiones era exagerado y hasta ridiculo ..la voz de Mo era muy linda y la de Robin hermosa nada que envidiar a su hermano mayor que tenia mucho de lider y de mandon
@@angelicamarquina9236 You know nothing. Nothing wrong with being a leader.
No claro que no hay nada malo con ser el lider alguien tenia que serlo pero si ser mandon co un ego demasiado grande por ser el mayor @@BGWhisperer
