- 5 March 2019, Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, String Theory Tour
Gig 4/4 last night of my String Theory tour and lord were we spoiled rotten with this unique treat from the guys.
Since the announcement of this milestone event for our little indie band we all hoped they would reenact their famous harmonic 1997 a cappella performance of ‘MMMBop’ under the natural acoustics of the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall architecture. I’d be surprised if they didn’t film exactly that for Members Only content later, but as the single only encore on this incredibly special world tour they instead performed my absolute favourite cover tribute they’ve ever done, ‘Too Much Heaven’ by the BeeGees.
I’ve always envied their microphone-free concert hall acoustics a cappella performances of other songs over time around the world on RUclips so to get to hear this song at this venue on this epic symphonic tour with my own two ears in the most incredible seats I could have asked for, it’s no exaggeration to say that this is now my most treasured memory and possession. I just wish the video could do it justice.

Great performance. Kudos to the audience for not saying a peep during it and respecting the moment.
60 year old former stage performer /band front man here. Wow. That's simply incredible. The blend, the intonation, the flawless modulations....i mean, cmon. That's seriously.genious stuff. I'm embarrassed that in their (and my) youth, I gave them a hard time. These guys are brilliant.
It's all perspective. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything to write home about either. It sounded contrived and forced. Yes, they have good harmonies. Yes they are talented. For me, this was not a good song choice for them.
Robin Gibb once said sibling groups have the " Biological Blend". Perfect example here
The fact it was recorded on a phone without audio editing... They sound fantastic
As a singer I wanna say how stupid hard that is. All the transitions, all the stops and starts locked and forget modulating in a music vacuum. Never knew too much about Hanson....only because it wasn't my thing. But talent (and a crap ton of hard work!) will always shine. And these guys are amazing! Peace...
YESS. For sure.
Stupid hard!
your comment is useless, just appreciate that, enough
Wow! That's amazing! 👏
Vocally Hanson are extremely underrated but I think that’s because they never gained as much exposure as they should have, post the childhood success phase. That’s partly through choice tho, they’ve sort of kept on the down low for years. it’s their 30th anniversary soon and they’re still only in very early middle age. If the Rolling Stones are the benchmark for longevity there’s a lot of time left!
Incredible version. Love that they recognized The Bee Gees as the original “3 brothers”
I respect all kinds or singing groups. However, when you can unplug the gear and still perform without mics, amps, autotune, or additional background singers, I have a higher respect for you as an artist. Well done, gentlemen! 🎙🎙🎙👑👑👑🔥🔥🔥👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Wow! They do have talent. It takes balls to do a cappella, and a Bee Gees' tune to boot. Well done.
Yeah I know I keep waiting for Barry's opinion
I’m sure he’d be impressed and flattered.
Flattered for sure but, there is no comparison to the Bee Gees not even close.
I agree completely. BeeGees rule on this song but Hanson did very well.
...in Australia, of all places! Amazing performance.
2 modulations. Perfect 3-part harmony. A cappella. Holy god these guys are so freaking good.
What is a modulation?.
@@mercuryfever392 Changing the key during a song, usually going up to a higher key.
great
I don't think they get enough credit for how good of singers they are
A song written by one brother band and brought back by another. This is beautiful. The BeeGees and Hansen are totally my guilty pleasures. Both are criminally underrated.
I love both bands as well.
WOW... when singers do acapella this beautifully you know you should be appreciating & respecting their vocals way more. TY Hanson Brothers.
They all are aging beautifully. I respect them so much for choosing their music over fame. Talent will shine through no matter what.
I’m so glad I started recording as soon as the bows started, thrilled to have captured the whole lot!
Thank u!! They have never been to South Africa, hope they eventually make it here
@@renejupp That would be so awesome!
nicolethompson11 I was supposed to see them in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA) with my Aunt but she was unable to go and none of my other friends grew up listening to Hanson so I decided to not get tickets. I appreciate these videos so I can see what I missed ❤️
Thanks for sharing 🙂👍
Thank you so much
Singer myself, and damn, this is impressive . Got the pitch from that single piano note before he walks over, they stay locked in tempo wise , nail the harmonies AND 2 modulations . I remember when these cats came out and all the guff they got , but me and my jaded musicians friends all said "That's one catchy , well written song . These kids are legit." I am glad they stayed active all this time and still have enough draw to do shows like this, they deserve it. That's nothing but hard work and talent up there.
Another thing about Mmm-Bop is that it was written by 10, 12 and 14 year old kids. The songs by other boy bands were written by veteran industry songsmiths yet the pre-pubescents said a LOT more in their song than any of the hits by NKOTB and their stripe. Mmm-Bop won't win a Pulitzer for its lyrical content but was far deeper than its competition.
Well written? HAHAHAHA.
Very well said, brother
I'm going to agree with you 100% on your every word sir.
It's an amazingly written song. Have you ever paid attention to the lyrics?! For 3 children to write that is way rad. These guys are impeccable writers, producers, musicians 🤌@@susiepittman601
You just gotta love familial harmony. There really is nothing that comes close. Nice to see these guys are still out there. Well done gentlemen!
I grew up in a church where we were all somewhat related, all my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. We could all read music, and the choir sang four part harmony, and it was ON POINT, lol. Thought all churches were like that. Wasn’t til I got out and about that I realized how special it was.
Suddenly my 34 year old self wants to put their faces all over my walls, pillow case and coffee mug again 😂
I'm 43, I had them on my wall when I was 20 lol - I swear I'm not creepy lol
My 55 year old self wants to do the same.
Same. And I'm 57. 😅
🤣
I'm 36 and I still have bankers box's of all the magazines and posters and I had on my bedroom walls. I'm not creepy either.
Me: Nobody can ever do justice to the Bee Gees, not in a million....
* WATCHED THIS *
Me: Imma shut my big mouth now...
If Barry Gibb has watched this, I will tell him that he and his brothers have not only altered the course of music history, but also have heavily influenced the next generation. These guys didn't imitate, as most other artists try to do, instead, they honored.
I think if Sir Barry Gibb saw this, he would have loved it
no falsetto voice like the Bee Gees in that performance. Very interesting.
Check out this tribute to Barry Gibbs by Pentatonix singing Too Much Heaven! It is incredible 😊facebook.com/halzen/videos/10158806933280554/
@@kristagerry8505 Thanks Krista, just watched it. Beautiful!!
@@emilygraham9968 it is😊 and they are just incredible as a group!
I never understood why people went crazy with the Jonas Brother, when the Hansons are a trio that not only are Handsome but also have a real talent for creating and playing good music.
I would think it’s partially to do with timing... Hanson came out way before the social media age
I'm not a hater, I don't like putting energy into what I don't like, I prefer to put energy into what I love. But yeah, I find the Jonas Brothers being compared to Hanson a bit awkward. There's simply no comparison except being brothers. Not that I don't have plenty of 'guilty pleasures' myself, I just cringe when comparisons are made when the there is a gaping void between the talent and credibility of the two bands. Much love to the Jonas Brothers, but they should feel very flattered to be put anywhere near Hanson.
Lissa FaO I was lucky to see the boys perform in Oklahoma City when they were kids. So talented then as they are now.
@@ReeseGegax Don't remember ever saying pop is a dirty word. The majority of my favourite music is pop music, including Hanson. So this is a totally moot point. The Jonas Brothers lack Hanson's talent and that's a fact. No person with basic musical knowledge would disagree. But like I said above, I'm not interested in hating on things and I certainly never claimed pop music is automatically poorer because of its genre. My music library says quite the contrary, not to mention not all the music I love would be classified as 'high talent.'
Can't compare the two Hanson wrote there own songs from day one lolz
First time I heard these guys I was 30 years old. I’m 57 now and still a fan. They have consistently put out good music.
just makes me appreciate the Bee Gees talent even more....
Falsetto is hard for most men.
John Travolta in Grease was good
Boys to men did
Ever fall in love
Sam Ryder has an angelic voice
Never Enough
Tiny Riot orchestral version
ya this is aweful ruined a great song
@@lg103not even close lol
@@lg103 Idiot.
@@Rackelmcandfamilly Another idiot.
I always get teary when I hear the Gibbs sing it, but these boys did it. Hanson was so underrated...still are. Amazing singers! My heart.
That's a blessing in disguise. They stayed close and together and got to keep it about the music. They are still doing what they love and make a good living from it. Balance.
Unbelievably brave rendition. Only ( talented) siblings can have this effortless harmony. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful. Kudos to the crowd for allowing this little bit of magic to happen. Bravo
Indeed it is. I'm a lifelong Bee Gees fan and I deeply appreciate this rendition.
@@squishmastah4682 I think they've done so well with every cover no matter how they did it but this one speaks so much..."Zac you're the best" lol
so true
I was just explaining to my brother in law that you could tell the difference between a group that naturally harmonizes and a group that is trained how to harmonize and Hanson is a group that can just naturally harmonize with each other. It’s so smooth.
Saying it’s “effortless” is actually negating all the hard work they put in to sound like that. Trust me, there are decades of effort that go into talent like that. I’m sure they work hard.
It’s so sad that these guys got lumped in with boy bands. These guys are actual musicians. They just happened to be young and cute. They don’t get nearly enough respect
Blame their record label at the time. Everytime they sent it songs, they were rejected.. because the company *wanted* them to sound more "pop" than *ROCK.*
@@rvpstudioscanada3991 that’s awful. What a disservice to them.
I don't think being considered a boy band is a bad thing. There are lots of talented people in the music industry. However, many artists will tell you that talent comes second to branding/marketing. Lots of singers can play instruments, but it's just not part of their public image.
They’re doing just fine
Simple reason - Hanson’s did not ‘sign’ the “I” or let’s say did not sell their souls to the devil😬
You know you're listening to real legends when everyone was soo quiet while they were performing.
I'm from the Bee Gees era , MY love was their younger brother Andy!! The Hanson Brothers did them proud 👏
Andy was solo. And amazing, but he was never a Bee Gee.
@@KevinMcB I did say, THEIR younger brother
So beautiful!! A-Capella perfection! There are zero bands in the 2020’s that have this much talent! No auto tune just pure harmony.
Wow. The acoustics in that place really are outstanding and theyre are so masterful at blending their voices after being together for literally 40 years 😆
WOW! Takes big cahonies to cover a Bee Gees song and kick some ass! Totally awesome performance, especially the key changes at the end! 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
As a singer myself, that is hard to do. They never wavered for a second. Impressive!
It's not easy, but it's not hard either. If 3 brothers can sing, then they will naturally harmonize with one another. It's almost impossible not to.
I'm 53 years old and I would absolutely love to see these guys. I've watched them grow into amazing men and singers. What an awesome tribute.
I'm glad their career has a second life. They really are talented.
Nobody gets too much harmony anymore, so thank you, Loved it.
Thank you for posting this, and to the concert goers, THANK YOU FOR NOT SCREAMING OR MAKING STUPID NOISES. This was BEAUTIFUL!!! Especially since there's only one Gibb brother left.
Fansons have grown up. 😍👏💝
@@gerrymoore9111Yes they have!! AND they are all married now. Isaac, who is 38, and his wife were married in 2006, and have 3 kids, Taylor, got married in 2002, is now 35, and with his wife have 6 kids. Lastly, Zac, also got married in 2006, and with his wife have 4 kids!! That is 13 kids between the 3 brothers. Between raising their kids and touring, they are just as good as they were the day MmmBop hit the radio. I love these guys and I'm old enough to be their mother!
Yes! Kudos to the crowd. This was stunning!
I don't think that could have happened here in the states.
As a musician I never doubted their talent from the beginning, even when everyone pigeonholed them as nothing more than a pretty boy group. It took maturing into handsome and talented young gentlemen and lots of live touring to convince the world that they're the real deal. This, however, is mindblowing, even compared to everything else I've seen from them. Never seen this video before and it only got randomly recommended to me by RUclips today. Played it three times so far.
Thank you, Nicole, for capturing this wonderful moment. ❤
Took my daughters to see them when they were kids. What a joy to see them grow into this. They are such talented n nice, genuine humans 🎶 great rendition .
True talent and training. Rare.
People mocked them, and still do, but they were always sooooo talented. Thank you for capturing this!
Seriously, I LOVED that first CD...but I really thought they would be another "One Hit Wonder" band. And boy, am I ever SO GLAD, I was ever SO WRONG about them.
They were unconventional. Homeskooled, not part of the Disney/hellywood crowd, and Christian . But I liked them .
Ho
I feel like their fans get mocked more than they do and fans are the ones *paying* for it
their first hit was so silly and ridiculous it was a bad choice for longevity this is the first ive heard of them since then tbh and now i wonder why they aren't better known as they clearly weren't a one or two hit wonder!
Bee Gees music needs to live on, it is great!!
Hanson brothers did it justice. Thank you
LOL YUCK !!!!!! ING
Are you deaf? That cover is a crap lol.
Just no one on earth DOES it as well the Bee Gees! guess I can't ask for miracles twice in a century!
They are doing it very well as HANSON. NO ONE will EVER compare to the Bee Gees. Their sound is totally their own.
These men are talented and did well in their voice range. No instruments other than their voices, beautifully done.
No they didn't they suck not even close to good at all and no where close to the Bee Gees at all
All I knew about Hanson was Mmmm Bop, a lifetime ago. As a lifetime Bee Gees fan, this impressed the hell out of me! Thank you for capturing this!
This is nuts. Absolutely nuts. Talent and looks? These boys are truly blessed.
Great reflection on the BeeGees and Hanson, but also a great reminder of the amazing acoustics of the Opera House!
They are so unrated they can sing anything and it sounds beautiful
Absolutely pure talent, truly underrated as musicians.
KUDOS KUDOS KUDOS Now that is indeed what you can call real singing by raw voice true singers that you rarely get a chance to here anymore... BEAUTIFUL
The Hanson’s have always been under rated. They have amazing voices and a lot of talent. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
From someone who grew up listening to the Bee Gees, this is so Amazing. Much Amazing!👏👏👏😱😫😫😭😭😭❤❤❤
Hey I am a Heavy Metal guy! The HANSON Brothers were way beyond their years! So much talent here should still be packing arenas!
Hanson are hardly heavy metal
@@adrianrickards27 lol what I was saying I am a heavy metal guy BUT have a lot of respect for this band!
I remember I attended a Hanson concert back in 1998 at the Key Arena in Seattle... at the same time, Metallica was performing at a neighboring venue. The Metallica fans were yelling insults at the people heading to the Hanson concert, making fun of them, stealing their homemade signs and tearing them up, it was so sad. Now as an adult, it makes me wonder what the band members of Metallica would have thought of that behavior.
They play smaller venues now. I’ve been to 10 or more Hanson concerts and they have all been packed. Many fans who grew up with this band, and have listened since the 90’s, have stuck by Hanson. I’ve loved them since age 11. I bought both their pre-fame albums a long time ago and have never regretted paying $325. They were amazing then, and they’ve only aged like fine wine.
@@ambrosiamorrisss5531 They are musicians with a wide variety of tastes, they wouldve thought the people conducting themselves like that were a##holes. The majority of their fans respect talent. I am a fan and I listen to everything fro film scores to country to hard rock.
That was so damn good! They did the BEE GEES proud singing it completely stripped down. Amazing
The very best harmonies and blend always come with shared DNA
Thats why I will try something like this with my brother and sister to my big 50th birthday party. We sang together as trio when we were kids.
@@dalangie Happy soon to be your 50th! Nothibg like "singing in" a new decade.
So very true
at 58 I was too old when Hanson first came out to pay much attention, just another boy band,little blonde boys singing something about bop, then I saw them on Masked Singer, their harmonies are spot on, I am impressed how good they are they now have an old lady fan lol
Those flawless modulations were very, very impressive.
A cappella, this is tremendous!
And I know Barry and his brothers in heaven are saying well done Hanson!!! This lifelong Bee Gee fan is so appreciative of this version. I also say… Well done Hanson!!!!
I am a BeeGees fan too ,and i love this .IT was just beautiful.
My thoughts exactly 🙂
Please check out The Reo brothers. You won't regret it I promise
Would been cool if Barry sang with them
Barry isn't dead yet mam 🙃🙃🙃
Something about the connection and harmony of siblings that is so special💕💕
Simply Brilliant!
Zac has matured wonderfully both musically and personally. Their perfect harmonies are so inspiring.
It's lovely when talent, DNA and a life of commitment to the craft come together perfectly
Isaac is ridiculously handsome. So much talent. Will love Hanson forever!!
Wow. Flawless. Acapella is not an easy thing to do plus key changes. I am a singer and I don’t think people realize just how much talent you need to create what they sang the way they sang it. It was such a brilliant song for them to do. Incredibly beautiful. It really just made you freeze in time and appreciate the moment. Bravo!
Goodness. It NEVER gets old! This is probably my favorite cover they have ever done and I LOVE that they took advantage of the opportunity to perform it in the Sydney Opera House!
I cried watching this. Really talented men. Been a fan since 1997. ❤
Girl, same
Me too!! I saw them a while back and I couldn’t have been happier
Since 1997 too ❤️
Oldies are gold. Powerful lyrics yet subtle too coax even a badly broken heart. I'm born way after the Bee Gees glorious time yet I'm here in love with most of their songs. Tq Barry, Robin and Maurice for beautiful songs of all time. 😢🙏🏼
I was obsessed from 14-24. I knew every word to every song. I could spout off random hanson facts like a stalker 🤣😬. Saw them with my grandpa in 98. It was our last concert together. His words to me walking out that night were, "I've never heard or saw anyone put on a better show than those 'girls' before." He knew they were guys, but the long hair times he had to tease me. He was singing mmmbop right along with the other 5k plus screaming fans that night without missing a beat. Their music saved my life when he passed. My daughter's name is Alice Lucille.... Right now we call her al, but I'm praying she will let us call her lucy in the future.
I remember taking my daughters and their friends to see them in concert. Afterwards I took them backstage to meet them. Living in Las Vegas I've been to over 500 concerts in my life. Even before that I was still the coolest and best dad ever. You Younglings enjoy life and try to let your parents stay parents and love them. When they're gone they are gone and it's too late to say I love you and I'm sorry!😥
What a special moment, and nobody yelled out and interrupted it. Amazing
Never thought I'd put a like by a Hanson production. It does, however, prove that harmonies are best produced by siblings. Well done, lads!
Absolutely beautiful...they nailed this cover!!! 3 handsome young men with amazing voices. Always been a fan. Thanks for sharing!
Wow I'm shocked just how totally awesome their version of this Bee Gees classic is
Always thought they were underrated as artists/musicians when they were younger. This proves it.
I love a capella and somehow I ended up here -BEAUTIFUL!
I have a soft spot in my heart for The Bee Gees and turn them up every time I hear them. Not too many groups can take their songs, make them their own, and make me want to turn up the volume. These guys just did it. Mad props to their talent.
The 'wows' at the end summed this up perfectly. Amazing.
And the 2 key changes at the end was so freakin impressive.
Crazy impressive!
Yep! Awesome!
Very impressive!!!
Perfect pitch boys. Perfect honor to the Beegees
Lifelong Bee Gees fan here and I can only say these three brothers with their three part harmony did great singing a cover from the brothers Gibb. The greatest Three Brothers in three part harmony history. Long live the Bee Gees
There truly is something about sibling harmony. After hearing Girl Named Tom on The Voice-USA, they are 2 brothers and kid sister whose actual name is Bekah, but they do address it after their audition. Their harmony on everything they sing is so tight, just like Hanson. These young adults are living proof that rock and roll will never die!
Can't duplicate it . I'm a big fan of the Louvin Brothers, the way they could switch lines back forth effortlessly.
Their talent is undeniable
WOW!! Did not see that coming. Moved me to tears.
My cat sings with me and when I put this on she ran in the room and started singing with you....awesome!!!
Thank you!
First time I ever heard these guys sing. They did the Bee Gees very proud... And blew me away. Well done!
I must also add, three handsome men with great singing abilities that only gets better every time I hear Hanson👍
Lindsay and I were on Their Bus ...greatest guys..really
Last night I watched Barry Gibb talk about the loss of his brothers and was utterly heartbroken. I've loved the Bee Gees all my life. I honestly don't know what made me watch this, but I am so glad I did. This made me wow! Thank you for capturing this acapella.
I wonder what he’d say if he saw this. I bet he’d be touched.
I know I saw that interview. I was hysterical. He is the last bee gee. 😢
Wow, this is pretty cool! Those HARMONIES -- I hope Barry Gibb heard this... ...and Robin and Maurice were smiling in Heaven.
AMAZING!! I just love how these guys harmonize. Serious musicians and attention to voice tone!! I love LOVE love this!!❤️
Beautiful
Wow. Hanson all grown up. I think they grew into themselves and their music. Very nice!
It makes me so mad they haven't got the attention they truly deserve, But guys dont give!!💞🌹💞
Wow....that is singing without a net.
Nicely done guys.
Hanson was great then and they are amazing now. Real musicians ❤️🙌🏼
Forever Hanson
Their tribute to the Bee Gees was amazing. The Hanson brothers are so talented. They are like fine wine, with age they became finer and prestigious wine. Congratulations on your 25th anniversary Tour. If you come to Florida, I hope and pray I am able to see your show. Keep close to each other, you need each other to show the world your love, sincerity and respect for the music you sing.
God bless you all and your families.
Sincerely, Debora Arcarola-Boyd
I’ve always been in love with Hanson! Their talent is beyond limits!!! 😭😭😭🥰🥰
I honestly never thought Hanson would make me tear up. Well done.
Aside from the greatness of their voices and talents, i really want to appreciate the awesomeness of their hair. They always have such great hair
You are speaking my language
Best BeeGee's cover yet! Absolutely on point and spot on wit tha pitch chanGe. Excellent work Guys💯💯
The Hanson boys are amazing, and the dark side affiliated with the their surroundings are trying to discredit them. Keep being in the light guys!!!
Excellent performance!!! These guys have SO much talent and they did the Bee Gee's proud, I'm sure, with the beautiful rendition using only their voices and rhythm!
What an amazing performance. Barry Gibb would be very proud. Loved Zac's cheekiness.
I’m sorry I didn’t love you enough in 97 when I was 11. I never knew the existence of many of your songs. What a waste, all this time. I’m sorry people looked at you as a cheap boysband less interesting than bsb... I’m so sorry they influenced me. I’m sorry you we’re and still are underrated. You are talent, passion and you aged so well all of you without losing it. God bless you all and your families. I will pay you tribute for what it’s worth from now on. Don’t stop making music
Being a dedicated Hanson fan for 24 years, reading your comment really warms my heart. 💓 Hanson have so much talent to offer. And yes, they are kind people too. They have been making music since 1992. And even though they are not in the mainstream world anymore, still, they make great music independently. They can still sell-out shows from a small, yet tight community of dedicated fans. Hopefully, they would gain much respect from the music industry, now that they have joined The Masked Singer as Russian Dolls. I can't wait for that to happen. 🙏💖
They did a great job on this song. The BeeGees can’t be beat, but this was beautiful. The BeeGees would be very proud of you! ❤️🌹❤️
That harmony is tight, man.
Phenomenal!!!!
They are crazy talented. And handsome as heck, to boot.
I think you could hear a pin drop in that place!!!! Simply superb!!!!
