Yep and as an Aussie where they first plied their trade here and Spicks and Specks went to number 1 in early 1966 and after that it was all history. Australia was a big factor in the Bee Gees from learning the industry first here, then arriving in England late 1966 and hitching up with 2 other Aussies Vince Melouney from Billy Thorpe and the the Aztecs on guitar and child movie actor from (the Smiley movies) Colin Petersen on drums to officially join the Bee Gees. Then meeting another Australian (NEMS/The Beatles) music producer Robert Stigwood later creating (R.S.O). The only other person to officially join the Bee Gees was another Aussie called Geoff Bridgford on drums during the early 1970s.
It really is too bad they went disco.. it overshadowed their true talent and legendary songs prior to disco.. i am thankful for these classic videos available at this time...
@@jdc6681. Absolutely. Most people only know them for the disco stuff they did; which was outstanding on its own. But these guys were fantastic musicians and their harmonies are like a choir of angels came down from heaven. Love them and always will❤
If you ever wanted 3 people around a camp fire with you then these would of been the 3 you would of chosen! Epic voices with no autotune.. Nothing!. Legends!
It’s at moments like this, when three voices and two guitars casually join together in perfect harmony, that you truly understand the immense talent of the Bee Gees. It’s wonderful to know that, thanks to technology, their music will live on to entertain future generations.
I’m 60 & I loved them as a teenager but not for the right reasons, I was in love with Barry had his life size poster on my bedroom door. I am now discovering the immense, beautiful, rare talent they really had! All of their songs have personal stories behind them. They wrote, produced & recorded their own music. So sorry that 3 brothers are gone & the oldest is left with memories & alone. They passed away in chronological order from youngest to oldest.
In late 1967 I found myself in the army and doing Basic Training at Fort Dix, NJ. Most of the guys in my platoon were from Mass. Late one night, we were getting ready to get into our bunks for our 4 or 5 hours sleep; someone had a little transistor playing and this song came on. The room just froze. I looked around and there wasn't a dry eye in the place, the song sounded more beautiful than I'd ever heard it before or since. I'll never forget that moment and will forever be grateful for the BeeGees.
Barry Brodsky, I can almost feel the room in the simple way you've told it. I am glad for you. My only other bit to add is for me many songs sound best with 1 or 2 acoustic guitars and harmony in the vocals. Did you notice Maurice playing first position open chords while Barry went up the neck.. More color and chord notes harmonizing as you also heard in their vocals. Talent and craftsmanship. These Gibb brothers are good.
Fantastic story!! I was scared army nurse during that time. I’m from Massachusetts & this song would play & I’d burst into tears. Now I’m 80, & I still cry when I here it.
Robin just sitting there, legs crossed, casual as you like, performing flawlessly with his ridiculously incredible voice. What a talent. The harmonies are something else. There won't be another group like them. A true one off band.
I'm kind of glad their voices never had to go so that they felt the need for Autotune. The trap of many greats. THey had a lifetime of practice together that's why they are so good.
@Bill Murray "...oh but we WERE black! We had an operation 3 years ago... mine didn't quite work... i tell you what, part of my black body i still got...!" One of the Robin funniest answers to a silly interviewer.
I'm 68 years old, been a Bee Gees fan since their first album. Never get tried of listening to them (as my wife can attest). They are singing perfection.
There might not have been autotune, but you did not need musical talent to become famous. A lot of artists sounded like absolute shit, they just had the sound.
Can you imagine most of today's 'stars' being able to pull off a flawless classic like that with nothing more than a voice and a couple of acoustic guitars? No, neither can I.
@@lidiaferrolf Belle parole ! Stiamo ammirando come quelli siano stati i giorni migliori dato che i veri musicisti sono pochi oggigiorno. Dio vi benedica e la vostra famiglia.
For years I was convinced that Robin Gibbs voice was electronically enhanced. It was only a few years after his death that I realized it was just his voice with no electronic tricks. One in a trillion.
Your comment deserves more likes!! Let's face it, we have ALL been through some kind of personal journey in trying to figure out, how DOES Robin make that beautiful sound come out of his mouth? Voice training?
@@kateandphoebe The amazing thing in his voice almost no one else has that makes it almost otherworldly, and that is hard to fake, is the warble. In fact, the thing that really got me into the Bee Gees was when I was listening to a '60s station on ShoutCast, and I heard "I started a joke", and I heard that almost otherworldly quality in his voice.
robin really pioneered blue eyed soul. He was doing it 5 years before The Righteous Brothers and Van Morrison. And I don’t think we’d have had artists like Phil Collins and George Michael without Robin Gibb.
Check out their harmony singing as kids. It's so perfect in tune its almost not capable for the human ear and it sounds like from a straight horror movie "The too perfect kids" ruclips.net/video/AjbVNNXjOzk/видео.html
My friends in high school said this group wouldn’t be very popular. Some laughed at me for loving their songs. Be I didn’t care, I hung in there with them
@@888strummer It was so effortless for him, he had an amazing talent. Try listening to him singing Ellan Vannin a song dedicated to his birth place the Isle of Man.
My god Robin is so gifted, obviously they all are but Robin's voice has an otherworldly way about it. Their harmonies are impeccable and truly touch the soul
As a millenial who used to love kpop, hip hop and metal, I got into the rabbit hole because of this interview.. since 2021, my music listening time is 99% Bee Gees and for me, no current artist/celeb can top this group.
That is completely insane. That sounds like a track rolling. I can't believe how precise their harmonies were...and Robin is absolutely on point here. Incredible.
Laughed so hard I almost spit up while I was taking a drink! They certainly were great. They had an entire lifetime at that point to hone their sound. Plus, siblings always blend well. It's part of the genes. My son, daughter and I blend very well together.
My God, it's so beautiful : "only" an incredible and magic voice with 2 guitars, in a perfect and simple moment. Even 40 or 50 years later, this song still gives the same emotion 🎶😥💕.
The magic of Robin Gibb's beautiful voice. Then and now stands the test of time, as a teen-ager back in the 60's his singing of the 1st of May captivated me to his unique talent. He truly was the voice of the Bee Gees. I love listening to him singing Ellan Vannin , the passion and the power of his voice singing about his birth place.
@@haroldgee8426 You are correct, it was Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb sang saved by the bell on top of the pops in 1969, for some reason I mix the titles of the songs up, perhaps because the both came out in the same year. Robin's voice was incredibly unique and very captivating.
@@deenieteenie3934 Robert Stigwood chose to release First Of May as a single on the A-side with Robin's Lamplight on the B-side. This choice was partially responsible for Robin quitting the group. Luckily for Bee Gees fans, Robin returned about a year later. The rest is history...!
We only have one Bee Gee left on this earth.... Now we think back to the beautiful melodies and songs that they produced. This rendition is totally priceless.
The unique and inimitable voice made Robin one of the greatest vocalists of all time! The disease stopped him prematurely! Rest in peace Maurice and Robin! God bless you Barry! Bee Gees forever !!!
Ridio Only some noobs and unaware teenagers would still follow. The rest are like me, at the age of 18, listening to the classics instead of modern crap music.
Being born and bred there I always wondered what triggered that song. Did they maybe just like the sound of the word? Always loved that song. In fact, we need to go home now too.
@@joandelpozzo9594 I once heard it was an answer to Scott MacKenzies', 'San Francisco', and that in fact the brothers Gibb had never been here. I'm not certain if this is true, as both songs arrived in 1967.
Bees Gees managed to dominate the airwaves for nearly three decades which is a remarkable testament to the group's craftsmanship, sadly, there will never be another band like the Bee Gees, I miss them a lot !!!
I still remember this song, first time I study at primary school, I liked their voice and the song, especially voice of Robin.. sure, people still remember them.. the legendary in the world ❤
It's so strange but when you hear a song sung by someone such as this one then nobody else can seem to better the original. I don't think anyone could do it better than robin.
I'm old enough to remember when this song was new. I've always loved it, and as I watched this video, I got tears in my eyes. We'll not see the likes of the Brothers Gibb again.
Pretty mind blowing how they can sit there casually and sing those crystal perfect harmonies.
these guys can that also.ruclips.net/video/rYw9E0bW9RE/видео.html
It truly is ! 💁🏻♀️☀️❣️
They started it as young boys. Nothing happens without hard practice
Yes they were great but they've never been to Massachusetts😳
Real talent combined with practice and God's blessing 🙌
No autotune, just pure talent
Super Happy

Beyond brilliance, they were the best & will be for a long time to come.
Speechless!
Absolute perfection 👌

Does anyone else like this better than the studio version?
La voix de Robin me donne des frissons ! 💯
Timeless songs and great performances.. And this is why the Bee Gees will live forever.
The truly best unplugged music I have ever heard
Pure talent no keyboards no retakes no synthetic background. Just in sync pure amazing voices. There never will be another group like The Bee Gees
Bee gees seems like Simon and garfunkel
And not autotune effect.

This performance and their Sound Stage appearance back in the day are just gold.
There is also a great live performance of Massachusetts on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson here in the US.
Back in the days when there was no autotune. Just talent. Pitch perfect. They wrote them, arranged them and sang them like the Bosses they were.
Played the instruments as well.

Cripes, it takes a special talent to sing spontaneously live like this yet sounds like a quality studio recording.
True.
That's amazing ✨✨✨✨✨
Goosebumps when Robin begins to sing.
