Some great stuff in the late 50’s and 60’s - Elvis isn’t the King for no reason. The Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison, The Beach Boys, and The Beatles, of course, all started in the late 50’s early 60’s. I think music took a dive somewhere in the 80’s and whatever is being produced today is just crap. We call it 7/11 music… 7 lyrics repeated 11 times then pitch corrected and auto-tuned. 🤣
Maurice was a genius with his ability to plug in that third harmony. He was very under appreciated but was so unique with his many abilities. Still blows my mind that they each taught themselves how to do this incredible harmony when they were just kids! Couldn’t read or write music, taught themselves instruments… Incredible talent!
@@SharonMcglothlin yes I agree with you. Mo was so charming and had so much charisma and character. He was adorable when he was a young adult and handsome with a beautiful personality as he got older. I miss him and Robin so much. Andy too
Mau was playing the crap out of that funky syncopated bass line while singing...not easy. I love how all 3 of them use their head and chest voices alternately here and there. They all had just about the same kind of tone. Barry just had more power in his chest voice than the others, and that unbelievable falestto. All 3 of those dudes had great voices and musical instincts. Mau also was a killer piano player.
Another Bee Gees song that really shows all three brothers vocals would be (Fanny be tender with my love) if Mom hasn't mentioned it yet. Then of course there's also the younger brother Andy Gibb who was a solo star in his own right. He's just as good.
When they sing NOB live Mo does the falsetto ad libs because Barry can't do both at the sametime.....on the recorded version it's Barry doing the falsetto. They all can sing falsetto but Barry was the only brother that could sustain it for a whole song.
The diff between the Bee Gees 60's sound a 70's were miles apart. to pop and only moderate success to the 70's when they added bits of soul and became superstars with songs like this one.
I've never heard this version and had NO idea Maurice could sing that high... O.o Mind blown... I think this is the best version of this I've ever heard.
great great reaction. beautiful song beautiful harmonies beautiful show Maurice was married to Lulu and ran with her crowd aka John Lennon and mick Jagger during the British invasion. the harmonies in this song are some of the Brothers Gibb best and show all their talents great reaction
Midnight Special songs had to be live so Mo had to take over the falsetto parts because Barry was lead and couldn’t do both! Amazing and always talented
Oh! Bee gees were legends no dought iliked Barry the most good looking too iwas 14 years old then their music was very popular on dancing parties huge talented guys one of my favorites ones good reaction girls keep going 💗💓💞
I remember walking around my neighborhood as a 14 or 15 year old, carrying my transistor radio with the earphone plugged in, singing this song out loud at the top of my lungs, caring little for what anyone thought. While this version is good, the studio version has more power to it. This song, along with "Jive Talkin' " , were big hits for The Bee Gees in 1975. Love y'all's channel .
What’s great about this performance is that you get a hear the range of Maurice’s voice. Because it’s live performance he has to sing some of the parts that Barry sang on the album, and in a higher register than normal. He doesn’t miss a beat. Check out Walking On Air with Maurice on lead vocals. It’s from their final studio album and shows that they were still very much on top of their game.
I believe on the album version Barry sang the falsetto parts but to do it live Maurice took the falsetto part because of the other parts Barry was already singing. Both versions are great. Thanks for playing this one.
Yes, Moe was the real laid back and lots of fun one. Barry always said that Moe was the middle leg of the tripod and that when he died he and Robin could not be the Bee Gees anymore without their middle leg holding them all together. But boy do we love all 4 bothers - Barry, Robin, Maurice & Andy. God bless them all x
Great reaction!!! That's how great these brothers are. They ALL have a great falsetto. That's why their falsetto harmonies are soooo great!!! There will never be another family trio as talented as them.
If there could be a best Bee Gees song, this would be in the running. I have it on my alarm clock. Barry wakes me up every morning with that strong "Here We Are." The "Main Course" album from 1975 was, and is, a masterpiece. Barry and Robin's voices are so perfect together. This was a live performance, so Barry couldn't do the ad libs that are in the studio version and the lead at the same time. I wanted to scream about halfway through when you heard Mo's "little surprise" for you to just wait until you hear Mo do his great high harmony and those funky ad libs. All three get the love.
Love how they improvised this live version. Almost as if they're saying 'yes, this is difficult but we can do it, we're the Bee Gees!' So much of the brothers catalogue was difficult to reproduce live but they did here and it's just a fantastic record of the time.
Love this song. Shows off the brothers individual talent and their beautiful harmonies when together. There will never be another trio like the Bee Gees
The Bee Gees were, like the Beatles, simply PLACED where they were needed to be in music history, to break the mold, and show everyone just how 'IT' was supposed to be done! If you want an even MORE different Robin, check out his video 'Boys Do Fall In Love'...spacey!
This is the very song that Barry discovered his falsetto, and he continued using it from then on. Love the Bee Gees they are the best, So talented. Mo once said in an interview that he didn't sing in falsetto he just had an extremely high voice. He sounded so good anyway. You seem to enjoy the Bee Gees as much as I do. Great reaction. Some not really played a lot but are beautiful songs..... Happy Ever After.....Blue Island.....
I heard Mo's interview, too, and I couldn't understand why he thought his high voice wasn't falsetto. Of course it was falsetto! Maybe not strong enough to do an entire lead vocal like Barry, but still.
They all had falsetto, usually Maurice would do his falsetto in live performances and he wouldn't really do the ad libs that Barry does. Robin did some falsetto high harmonies for some of the disco songs and he had one or two songs where he does falsetto. But the original version of this song Barry does the falsetto notes throughout the song. Nights on Broadway was the first time Barry discovered his falsetto. Nice reaction as always.
It's a song about Barry's love of "The lights of Broadway ". They changed it to "The night's on Broadway " because their manager thought it sounded better.
pre falsetto days were early vin the career like New York Mining Disaster, To Love Somebody, Massachusetts, I Started A Joke, etc - there was at least 3 separate phases to their career
I love everything these guys sing, they are amazing. One of my favorite songs that Robin sings is Juliette, the Australian tour where he sings it is awesome
Heavily influenced by the Philadelphia-based soul music of the period, in which the beat and the texture of the voices and instruments took precedence over the words. The combination proved irresistible, and Main Course -- driven by the singles "Jive Talkin'," "Nights on Broadway," and "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)" -- attracted millions of new listeners. The disco numbers on Main Course displayed great craftsmanship. Barry Gibb's falsetto voice was first introduced on this album leading to the monster SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER phenomenon.
The Bee Gees defy all the wonderful adjectives. They were legends, with each brother having amazing musical talents. What's even more endearing to the fans is that they came from very poor beginnings and were not trained musicians. They could not read music but were self-taught and had a natural giftedness.
Great reaction ladies! All their performances on the "Midnight Special" had to be live. Show rules. Every performance was amazing! I know that I requested "I Can't See Nobody" using their 1974 Melbourne concert but Robin's performance of this great song on the "Midnight Special" is by far his most heartfelt. He definitely pours his heart and soul into both performances but the "Midnight Special" is truly worth a look! The only disappointment is at the very end because they sing out the credits and that's why I usually suggest their 1974 concert to hear this amazing man do his thing! Of course you could react to both! 😃
Hi, Laurie: I already left a comment for this reaction but your comment reminded me that I had seen the Bee Gees in concert in 1974. It was at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto with my brother and a friend who is gone now. We got cheap seats way up in the green section and I took my camera with a 450mm telephoto lens and got quite a few pictures. My clearest memory is that they ended the concert with 'Wind of Change' and everyone was on their feet participating. That was the only concert I ever saw except for the free 'Wednesday' and free 'Stampeders' concerts at my high school.
The harmonies were gorgeous. And you can just tell immediately that this is their live vocals. What the audience heard is what we hear. Record companies have been retroactively pitch correcting old live performances of many wonderful bands. It’s a tragedy but it’s true. This performance is untouched and natural. This is what great singers sound like when their voices aren’t processed by software that takes away the natural expressiveness of the human voice that depends on a constant, subtle variation in pitch.
In an TV interview Barry said: they were talking the brothers and said who want to be the one to use falsetto? They twins didn't want to so Barry said he would. This song is before Saturday night live. They are Legendary musicians
I love the bass lines in all their songs. Maurice composes the bass lines in all the recordings. When in concert, sometimes he plays the bass, but if he doesn't, the bassist still plays what he composed.
@maryblum8365 I couldn't agree with you more! Mo was so charming,adorable, talented and had so much character. I love all of them but Mo had my total attention and my heart.
Nights On Broadway is an outstanding Bee Gees song from their Main Course album. It's a historic album in their catalog because it was where they updated their sound and re-invented themselves. Their previous albums didn't sell well and they hit a dry spell. So, they decided to listen to what was popular on the radio and start to blend it into their own music. That's when their sound changed to Funk, R&B, and disco. The results were that, from 1975-1979, The Bee Gees had one of the greatest runs in the history of popular music. During that time-frame, they had 8 #1 hits plus many top 10's and top 40's as well. All of those songs came from their most successful four album stretch with Main Course, Children Of The World, Saturday Night Fever, and Spirits Having Flown. I have each one of those great albums and would highly recommend them. The Bee Gees are my all-time favorite musical group. As I stated before, while I love their music from every time-frame of their careers, I have always been partial to their 1975-1979 disco era music as my very favorite.
Maurice actually sang falsetto in the Bee Gees before Barry Gibb started to do so starting in 1975. Interestingly, Barry, despite singing most of his life, didn't know he could sing falsetto until the age of 29. Here's a story from an article called: "How the Bee Gees’ Trademark Falsetto Sound Came to Be." It was in Miami (1975) that the Bee Gees began experimenting with new sounds, piggybacking on the influence of R&B and shows like “Soul Train.” While recording “Nights on Broadway,” producer Arif Mardin asked that someone harmonize while screaming in the background, Maurice remembered. That was the first time Barry sang falsetto. (Imagine if this never happened what the Bee Gees would have sounded like from 1975 through 1979.) “I was thinking, my god, where is this coming from? I can do this. My whole life I never knew I could do this,” Barry joked. “Everybody’s giving me credit,” Mardin said in the film. “No, he was singing it. I said, ‘Keep on doing it.'” The band soon embraced disco and dance music, making use of Barry’s falsetto, which he wields with almost astonishing ease. “We found another sound; we found a new sound. I came up with a lot of new ideas to suit the falsetto,” Barry remembered. “Everybody was saying the same thing: ‘Do that falsetto again, do that falsetto again.’ It was fine for me; I was having a ball.”
This started the falsetto, they could just do it all!! Funny fact, on the recorded version Barry does the falsetto but live Maurice had to do it because Barry was carrying the lead. It's crazy how good they all are. Watch Run to me
Its because all 3 have real talent... By the time this song came out i believe the bee gees had 14 or 15 albums out. This was before Saturday Night Fever. You cant go wrong with the bee gees
This album, to me, almost had the feel of a 'come back' album although they had been continually releasing great albums all along. I shared somewhere else on RUclips that by 1975, I had a total of 21 Bee Gees albums. You should listen to 'Country Lanes' from this same album which in my opinion is one of Robin's absolute best songs to showcase his amazing voice. Also, a very early song called 'I Am The World' fits into this category for Robin.
Yes, definitely, The Bee Gees are in a whole different level from other artists! You feel their voices, their lyrics in your heart and soul. Great reaction like always, thank you!
That is exactly why I'd love this song because it showcases each and every one of the Three Brothers individually in the song and together in the harmony you can't get better than this for a Bee Gees song I mean it just covers everything in the song I Love It.
Maurice does the high notes in this . He can harmonise high or low..
The Bee Gees are the GREATEST group to EVER grace the music world.....There will NEVER be ANOTHER group like them.....EVER!!!!
I think it's about time for you all to admit the 1970's produced the greatest contemporary music in history.
I admit it, lol
Some great stuff in the late 50’s and 60’s - Elvis isn’t the King for no reason. The Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison, The Beach Boys, and The Beatles, of course, all started in the late 50’s early 60’s. I think music took a dive somewhere in the 80’s and whatever is being produced today is just crap. We call it 7/11 music… 7 lyrics repeated 11 times then pitch corrected and auto-tuned. 🤣
What an amazing band.... Pure genius in every single one of them..... Who can sing like that now???
They have the gift, or sorry to say, had the gift.
Maurice never got enough credit. He was amazing!
Megastars these guys
100% agree! Thank you for watching again. 😊
Maurice was a genius with his ability to plug in that third harmony. He was very under appreciated but was so unique with his many abilities. Still blows my mind that they each taught themselves how to do this incredible harmony when they were just kids! Couldn’t read or write music, taught themselves instruments… Incredible talent!
They are the best and one of the most talented groups!
Maurice created the disco beat. He is so under rated for many innovative music creations
Yeah he is underrated.no Bee Gees without Mo..brilliant munition and always knew where the harmonies should go
Mo in my opinion was the best looking of the group
@@SharonMcglothlin yes I agree with you. Mo was so charming and had so much charisma and character. He was adorable when he was a young adult and handsome with a beautiful personality as he got older. I miss him and Robin so much. Andy too
Mau was playing the crap out of that funky syncopated bass line while singing...not easy. I love how all 3 of them use their head and chest voices alternately here and there.

My very fav bee gees song. Like your reaction. Moms necklace is like one i have by heidi daus. Love it.
Another Bee Gees song that really shows all three brothers vocals would be (Fanny be tender with my love) if Mom hasn't mentioned it yet. Then of course there's also the younger brother Andy Gibb who was a solo star in his own right. He's just as good.

They were musical geniuses along with being talented.
The Bee Gees are the greatest singers and song writers of all time.
Thanks for this awesome reaction to this incredible song.
I've never heard this version and had NO idea Maurice could sing that high... O.o Mind blown... I think this is the best version of this I've ever heard.
It's better to hear this song with headphones.
My favorite disco-era BeeGees song!
great great reaction. beautiful song beautiful harmonies beautiful show Maurice was married to Lulu and ran with her crowd aka John Lennon and mick Jagger during the British invasion. the harmonies in this song are some of the Brothers Gibb best and show all their talents great reaction
From the Bee Gees album titled Main Course, 1975
Midnight Special has no bad music
They were just the BEST! ❤️
I Give This Song 👍👍👍👍👍
Love Seeing Your Reactions Ladies
Never heard it before, really liked it.
Midnight Special songs had to be live so Mo had to take over the falsetto parts because Barry was lead and couldn’t do both! Amazing and always talented
Oh! Bee gees were legends no dought iliked Barry the most good looking too iwas 14 years old then their music was very popular on dancing parties huge talented guys one of my favorites ones good reaction girls keep going 💗💓💞

I believe on the album version Barry sang the falsetto parts but to do it live Maurice took the falsetto part because of the other parts Barry was already singing. Both versions are great. Thanks for playing this one.
I’m glad I finally heard Mo’s voice! I will have to listen to the album version too
Incredibly talented, Main Course is a masterpiece of an album.
The PERFECT blend of 1970's Dance Music & their amazing harmony's of the earlier years!
Yes, Moe was the real laid back and lots of fun one. Barry always said that Moe was the middle leg of the tripod and that when he died he and Robin could not be the Bee Gees anymore without their middle leg holding them all together. But boy do we love all 4 bothers - Barry, Robin, Maurice & Andy. God bless them all x
Hi! "The Bee Gees - Night on Broadway" So timeless and a good song! 🙂
Great reaction!!! That's how great these brothers are. They ALL have a great falsetto. That's why their falsetto harmonies are soooo great!!! There will never be another family trio as talented as them.
Hi John, I couldn’t agree more! 😊
@@generationgapreacts
Great minds think alike. Lol.
So excited for every new upload
Thank you Kevin! 😃
My gorgeous mo 💝😍 can sing anything.❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Hi Carol, he’s amazing! 😊
You betcha Carol!!!
Janice,. Hi sweetie.💞. Been missing you &. Susie q. 😍😍
Yeah, The BeeGees were at a whole different level.
All three of them had a phenomenal talent that is extremely rare.
I was 26 years-young in 1975 and listening to the Bee Gees again brings back such great memories of the times and the places.
Yay more Bee gees
It’s so easy to always add more Bee Gees. 😃
You Guys are awesome
If there could be a best Bee Gees song, this would be in the running. I have it on my alarm clock. Barry wakes me up every morning with that strong "Here We Are."

My favorite for certain!
These guys had hips in 5 consecutive decades
one in a million voices!!
Their range is fantastic
The music of my youth! I love bee Gees so much! Thank you for reminding me! 🥰
Kudos to your excellent honest review of this tune and the Bee Gees🙋
Last great Bee Gees album...Girl in the spoon...'Main Course'!....
Awesome reaction! There are Bee Gees videos dating back to 1960 when the twins were preteens!
Love this song.
Shows off the brothers individual talent and their beautiful harmonies when together.
There will never be another trio like the Bee Gees
I agree 100%. Thank you for watching! 😃
And sung live,no lip sync unlike a lot of bands
The Bee Gees were, like the Beatles, simply PLACED where they were needed to be in music history, to break the mold, and show everyone just how 'IT' was supposed to be done! If you want an even MORE different Robin, check out his video 'Boys Do Fall In Love'...spacey!

Thank you Vandora! We are really enjoying this bee gees rabbit hole. So many songs to cover, so little time. They made amazing music with a lot career
I heard Mo's interview, too, and I couldn't understand why he thought his high voice wasn't falsetto. Of course it was falsetto! Maybe not strong enough to do an entire lead vocal like Barry, but still.
bee gees the way it was
This was released before disco, they always had a heavy R&B/ funk vibe. I love the medley they perform from this show. Check it out.
They all had falsetto, usually Maurice would do his falsetto in live performances and he wouldn't really do the ad libs that Barry does. Robin did some falsetto high harmonies for some of the disco songs and he had one or two songs where he does falsetto.
But the original version of this song Barry does the falsetto notes throughout the song. Nights on Broadway was the first time Barry discovered his falsetto.
Nice reaction as always.
They are very talented musicians since they started singing
It's a song about Barry's love of "The lights of Broadway ". They changed it to "The night's on Broadway " because their manager thought it sounded better.
Some talented brothers. Truly missed.
So many great performances on midnight special!!
Such a great show! Loved all their appearances.
I agree! Thank you for watching! 😃
Fact's
They’re at different level cos all their songs are very good
pre falsetto days were early vin the career like New York Mining Disaster, To Love Somebody, Massachusetts, I Started A Joke, etc - there was at least 3 separate phases to their career
My Favourite BeeGees song
I love everything these guys sing, they are amazing. One of my favorite songs that Robin sings is Juliette, the Australian tour where he sings it is awesome
Heavily influenced by the Philadelphia-based soul music of the period, in which the beat and the texture of the voices and instruments took precedence over the words. The combination proved irresistible, and Main Course -- driven by the singles "Jive Talkin'," "Nights on Broadway," and "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)" -- attracted millions of new listeners. The disco numbers on Main Course displayed great craftsmanship. Barry Gibb's falsetto voice was first introduced on this album leading to the monster SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER phenomenon.
Thank you Unca Buzz! Very well said. 😊
The Bee Gees defy all the wonderful adjectives. They were legends, with each brother having amazing musical talents. What's even more endearing to the fans is that they came from very poor beginnings and were not trained musicians. They could not read music but were self-taught and had a natural giftedness.
Hi Gayla! Couldn't agree more.
Of all their amazing hits, this was my favorite song from them.
1st of May/Don't Forget to Remember
Great reaction ladies! All their performances on the "Midnight Special" had to be live. Show rules. Every performance was amazing! I know that I requested "I Can't See Nobody" using their 1974 Melbourne concert but Robin's performance of this great song on the "Midnight Special" is by far his most heartfelt.

Q. HI Left a US flag with Rob for you on Sunday Q
Hi, Laurie: I already left a comment for this reaction but your comment reminded me that I had seen the Bee Gees in concert in 1974. It was at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto with my brother and a friend who is gone now. We got cheap seats way up in the green section and I took my camera with a 450mm telephoto lens and got quite a few pictures. My clearest memory is that they ended the concert with 'Wind of Change' and everyone was on their feet participating. That was the only concert I ever saw except for the free 'Wednesday' and free 'Stampeders' concerts at my high school.
Maurice sings some of the falsetto on this one..
He shines on doing so too ..
This is one of my favorites..
The harmonies were gorgeous. And you can just tell immediately that this is their live vocals. What the audience heard is what we hear. Record companies have been retroactively pitch correcting old live performances of many wonderful bands. It’s a tragedy but it’s true. This performance is untouched and natural. This is what great singers sound like when their voices aren’t processed by software that takes away the natural expressiveness of the human voice that depends on a constant, subtle variation in pitch.
In an TV interview Barry said: they were talking the brothers and said who want to be the one to use falsetto? They twins didn't want to so Barry said he would. This song is before Saturday night live. They are Legendary musicians
I love the bass lines in all their songs. Maurice composes the bass lines in all the recordings. When in concert, sometimes he plays the bass, but if he doesn't, the bassist still plays what he composed.
Beautiful ladies
Perfect excample of showing their so so great ability, to dive into every kind of art in music. And also their brilliant stage-presence.
Two beautiful woman... two beautiful generations. Oh and I love the Bee Gees as well. Great song!
watching Steve Perry / Journey live in Houston 1981 was amazing
I love this performance because we get to hear Mo! Please react to This Is Just Where I Came In official video version. Mo is so funny in it.
I love your reactions. You really need to do one for Baby As You Turn Away. Also, for really old school Bee Gees, Let There Be Love.
Winds of Change show Barry's chest voice.
Thanks for this. Most people think of them as a disco band. But that was only @4yrs out of 5 decades of hits. Thanks for diving deeper!
Great reaction.
I could not love you more
Bee gees
Maurice also sang background vocals. And no other group then or now could come close to matching the harmony these brothers had.
Great Bee Gees Three Voces !
Mo is the best looking in my opinion. I love watching old videos of Mo in interviews. His personality is the best.
@maryblum8365 I couldn't agree with you more! Mo was so charming,adorable, talented and had so much character. I love all of them but Mo had my total attention and my heart.

Hi, Stephen: The Bee Gees were my all time favourite group as well but for me, they shared top position with Gordon Lightfoot. Happy reacting!
@@festidious2644 I'm a fan of Gordon Lightfoot, too. He has an excellent folk style and his songs always told a great story.
Hi ladies! Ron the painter again...great song! Don't forget to check out "Lonely Days". 😁

This was the first Bee Gees song i ever heard and i too instantly fell in love with Robin's voice
This started the falsetto, they could just do it all!! Funny fact, on the recorded version Barry does the falsetto but live Maurice had to do it because Barry was carrying the lead. It's crazy how good they all are. Watch Run to me
Great comment and I’ll be sure to check out “Run to me”. 😃
I love Run to Me as well.
Its because all 3 have real talent... By the time this song came out i believe the bee gees had 14 or 15 albums out. This was before Saturday Night Fever. You cant go wrong with the bee gees
"Mr Natural" is in a similar vein and not so well known
Thank you Telstar! We’ll have to check it out! 😊
Top 3 stalker song of all time. Run For Your Life is another.
live version Maurice did the falsetto, but in the studio Barry did it
This album, to me, almost had the feel of a 'come back' album although they had been continually releasing great albums all along. I shared somewhere else on RUclips that by 1975, I had a total of 21 Bee Gees albums. You should listen to 'Country Lanes' from this same album which in my opinion is one of Robin's absolute best songs to showcase his amazing voice. Also, a very early song called 'I Am The World' fits into this category for Robin.
Robin wrote "I am the world" at 15 yet the lyrics are so deep.
Robin has a beautiful haunting sadness to his voice.
I Started A Joke brings me to tears whenever I hear it. Robin had such a magnificent voice 🥺
Yes, definitely, The Bee Gees are in a whole different level from other artists! You feel their voices, their lyrics in your heart and soul. Great reaction like always, thank you!
Hello Angelina, thank you again for watching!!! 😃❤️
and Maurice was singing higher than both of them, as he often does in the background
That is exactly why I'd love this song because it showcases each and every one of the Three Brothers individually in the song and together in the harmony you can't get better than this for a Bee Gees song I mean it just covers everything in the song I Love It.
