I think Wembley stadium where the concert was for Mandela. They did a number of songs. At one point before they were famous Barry was playing a guitar with only 3 strings before they could make enough money to get new ones. It was mentioned in an interview.
I LOVE THIS SONG... YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE LIVE PERFORMANCE FROM MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA 1989 HQ VIDEO... THE 10/16 HQ VIDEO IS GREAT TOO!! I HOPE YOU LOVE IT AS WELL!!🎶❤🥰
"I've gotta get a message" to Texas Love. Thanks for listening and acknowledging their great writing. Their skill in that and their "great harmonizing", their music will live on with the appreciation they deserve!!
Yes, he's amazing! To name a few others: Tokyo Nights, Wish You Were Here, For Whom the Bell Tolls, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart. Robin's voice has always been my favorite, as is the song I Started A Joke.
What more can I say the best group ever! Only Robin could come up with such a title. He considered it a love song. Beautiful song. Love the Bee Gees!! Love your channel!!
@@Texas_Love if you listen to the original performances from the 1960s it is so much better it is the songs that people fell in love with back then. This version is nice it's okay but the original ones are the best . I hope you can listen to The Originals someday of of I've got to get a message to you, I started a joke, to love somebody, and how do you mend a broken heart. These are the best versions the ones from the 1960s but still this review of this version was very nice. I love all of your reviews!
Great reaction! They were part of the all-star line up for the Nelson Mandela birthday tribute. You briefly see Phil Collins on a second set of drums. The Bee Gees also performed "You Win Again" during this concert and Phil Collins was featured as the drummer.
Really like all your reactions of the Bee Gees just happens to be 1988 was the year my wife past away bless her heart left me to fend for four kids but this song and other Bee Gee songs always brings back great passed memories of her Thank for another great reaction Happy New Year to you and your family
I'm so sorry to hear that, John❤️🙏. Be blessed, Sir! I hope 2023 is the best year of your life!!!! We will rock out and enjoy some Bee Gees here! Happy New Year to you and your family!
@@Texas_Love Thanks a lot tex no worries I have great life great kid found a new wife 2001 everything is great there’s a lot worst things going on to people in today’s society So have a Happy New Year and rock on
So glad you're back....with hopefully more Bee Gees reactions! This would have been about 3 months after Andy passed, & perhaps one of their first public performances.😢
These boys were born in England, but moved to Brisbane Australia when young. They actually moved to Cribb Island (literally down the road from me) which has since been flattened and all but decimated for the Brisbane airport. Statue of Barry Gibb at Redcliffe, just down the road from Cribb Is.
They all said they are a live band! They are the best live! There is a song Wind of Change off their Main Course album that I really love the live version even better then the recording. TH-cam has a video from the 1979 Spirits Having Flown concert ( the one that says good audio) that is fantastic! It is exactly how I remember them live. I think this one was filmed in Anaheim stadium…people stood in the rain for hours to get in. One of the videos covers the part with the audience/fans. I love each one of their voices, Barry said that whoever wanted to do the song did, but they also geared the song to the singers voice. He said that they has 5 or six voices to choose from. Mo said that Barry and Robin together sounded like one voice, they were so in sync. A great example of that is in Fanny Be Tender with My Love.
Glad you nailed the meaning of the song as many don't - Great song about a controversial subject - Not sure how they come up with such ideas for songs - Like Abba - I doubt many would write such songs on the topics they did
That was the Nelson Mandela concert. This is an often used dissonance with the Bee Gees. They have an upbeat sound with a depressing message (think Stayin Alive). These guys channelled the conscience of the era. This was a Mandela concert, before Mandela was solidly in the global psyche. I heard an interview with a rather disillusioned Barry after this concert, where he mentioned disbelievingly that some of the artists wondered when Mandela would be performing. They were musical philanthropists before it was a thing. Their donation of the song and songwriting royalties to the UN for Too Much Heaven is still generating money today more than 40 years on.
thanks, TX - Robin is amazing, as always... not sure your original description is exactly what I thought it was about, but really doesn't matter... it's whatever you think it is (as Freddie Mercury always said when people asked about the "meaning" of his songs)... lol
@@billsiddle6387 - Robin had the highest voice naturally of the three. All had huge ranges. Even Robin hit some pretty low notes in songs like "When do I" and "Somewhere".
Only the Bee Gees could write a song this catchy about a man facing execution. Check out You Win Again from this performance. Phil Collins is on drums and Brian May joins in on guitar.
Just ironic, earlier this old song came into my thoughts for whatever reason and I started singing in my thoughts, from back in the days, almost something similar. Only it was a guy who as a child got in jail and at one point asking god for a walk on the outside, very touching. I bet you most of the older folks like me might not remember this song “ A walk on the outside“ this is like the prisoner his last wish. If you do this reactions, I would be very curious how many people might remember it? th-cam.com/video/_JXO029ikxo/w-d-xo.html. This is a very old song, probably older than I am.
Yoh no they really can sing bee gees for life forever
Love your reaction to the BeeGees ❤. Please do more BeeGees-maybe do everything they ever wrote and sang. ❤
Oh no, busted string but keeps going, love it
You look so much like my brother right down to the dimples
South Africa

Please play the same concert with phol collins on drums playing you win again. Nice to see artists respect for each othet
You should check out Cousins Gibb, the children of the Gibbs. Tragedy with a different take.
Once you get into the Bee Gees it doesn't take long to recognize the genius of Robin's voice!
Right! He pulls at the heart strings!
AMEN!!!
Amanda......more like the genius of all their voices, but especially Sir Barry's!🎶
It was live at Wembley Stadium 1988 for Nelson Mandela 70th birthday tribute concert. Phil Collins was on drums. Bee Gees sound so great live!
I think the drums sound too loud on this version drowning out the vocals a bit.
Didn’t know about Phil
I LOVE THIS SONG... YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE LIVE PERFORMANCE FROM MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA 1989 HQ VIDEO... THE 10/16 HQ VIDEO IS GREAT TOO!! I HOPE YOU LOVE IT AS WELL!!🎶❤🥰
Missed your Beegees reactions for a while....so glad you're back.....looking forward to more beegees.....
Thank you! More coming soon!
Robin sing Vibrato
It’s good to see you enjoying such a talented trio as The Bee Gees. Keep it going, music you can always go back to and enjoy! They set the bar HIGH!
"I've gotta get a message" to Texas Love. Thanks for listening and acknowledging their great writing. Their skill in that and their "great harmonizing", their music will live on with the appreciation they deserve!!
😀Thank you for hanging out!
One of their best from the '60s. 🥰
This is the former voice of Barry's that I love, that is not in falsetto. And Robin's voice is as beautiful as ever.
Robin Gibb sang the lead vocals on "I started a Joke ", "Massachusetts ", and many other songs 🎵
I started a Joke was amazing!
Yes, he's amazing! To name a few others: Tokyo Nights, Wish You Were Here, For Whom the Bell Tolls, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart. Robin's voice has always been my favorite, as is the song I Started A Joke.
@@jerickson725Barry & Robin share lead vocals on Wish You Were Here & How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.🎶
The emotions you get from this live version are not as sad as the original version.
What more can I say the best group ever! Only Robin could come up with such a title. He considered it a love song. Beautiful song. Love the Bee Gees!! Love your channel!!
Glad you're back to Bee Gees. This is not my favorite performance of this song, but it's a great song none the less. Great reaction as always!
Thank you! I wish the audio was a little clearer, but later on down the line, we will watch something with official audio, I really liked this!

The 1976 "here at last" live performance is my favorite.
Amazing
Your reactions are so much fun to watch. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you so much! Thanks for hanging out with me!
Love So Right is a great song ❤
Great reaction! They were part of the all-star line up for the Nelson Mandela birthday tribute. You briefly see Phil Collins on a second set of drums. The Bee Gees also performed "You Win Again" during this concert and Phil Collins was featured as the drummer.
Thank you! That is awesome!
Ahhhhhhh....The Brothers Gibb
This live verdion is a lot jazzier than I remember the studio version was. Now I will have to go and listen to the studio version.
Maurice Gibb singing lead - "Lay It On Me" LIVE @Melbourne Australia 1974 - you get Maurice's country side! 🥰
Yeah, my Bee Gees, love your reactions. My husband was from Wichita Falls.
Nice! Thank you, Carol!
Really like all your reactions of the Bee Gees just happens to be 1988 was the year my wife past away bless her heart left me to fend for four kids but this song and other Bee Gee songs always brings back great passed memories of her
Thank for another great reaction
Happy New Year to you and your family
I'm so sorry to hear that, John❤️🙏. Be blessed, Sir! I hope 2023 is the best year of your life!!!! We will rock out and enjoy some Bee Gees here! Happy New Year to you and your family!

É muito gostoso ouvir os Bee Gees ao vivo!❤❤❤🇧🇷 E Robin sempre mostrando seu talento espetacular! Amo demais essa banda!❤❤❤👍👋👋👋👋
Great band!😀👍
Listen to the original recording, gives you chills.
Maurice leads in “ Closer than close” LIVE official video - smooth jam
Thanks Mr Texas. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Thank you, Happy New Year to you and yours!😀
Check out Linda Ronstadt live Blue Bayou.
Barry tells the story Robin had the idea and they all thought he was weird but he kept bugging him so Barry helped him finish it.
It looks lik Wembley stadium,in London.
So glad you're back....with hopefully more Bee Gees reactions! This would have been about 3 months after Andy passed, & perhaps one of their first public performances.😢
Thank you! RIP to young Andy🙏
Missed your Bee Gees reactions, great reaction and I recommend "Man in the Middle" for Maurice singing the song.
We will see it, thank you!
Watch the video of studio performance "Tragedy".... MASSIVE hit...another fantastic, different arrangement, groove.
bee gees live or die
These boys were born in England, but moved to Brisbane Australia when young. They actually moved to Cribb Island (literally down the road from me) which has since been flattened and all but decimated for the Brisbane airport. Statue of Barry Gibb at Redcliffe, just down the road from Cribb Is.
This was a charity event the Bee gees performed 2 songs
You win again

I gotta get a message to you

Hello, please react to LOVE so right ,LOVE you inside out and words. Kisses from Spain🇪🇦❤️🎄😄
No doubt we will hear all of the Bee Gees songs at some point! Great band!😃
Glad you nailed the meaning of the song as many don't - Great song about a controversial subject - Not sure how they come up with such ideas for songs - Like Abba - I doubt many would write such songs on the topics they did
VERY GOOD!! REACT LIVE OR DIE BEE GEES..

As for Maurice, Closer Than Close and Man in the Middle are great songs for his lead.
thanks, TX - Robin is amazing, as always... not sure your original description is exactly what I thought it was about, but really doesn't matter... it's whatever you think it is (as Freddie Mercury always said when people asked about the "meaning" of his songs)... lol
If you listen closely to the chorus you can her Maurice singing in falsetto.
I think Maurice's falsetto was higher than Barry's. Especially in the first To Love Somebody in the black and white version.
You don't hear it very often but Robin had a very high falsetto back in the day!
@@billsiddle6387 - Robin had the highest voice naturally of the three. All had huge ranges. Even Robin hit some pretty low notes in songs like "When do I" and "Somewhere".
Please react to THIS IS WHERE I CAME IN live by the BEEGEES thanks
I respect that you like live performances. Many reactors want studio only and I find it boring.
And the Bee Gees were as great sounding live as in the studio.
Did you hear them sing, 'Well, I did it to him, now it's my turn to die.' ?
I agree the crowd really is huge! It's almost as big of a crowd at a Trump rally.
As a Trump rally....really?!🙄
👍🤛👌
Dam they didn't show him, one of the drummers was,. Phil Collins🥁❤️🔥
Nice!
I say Barry is making the cake and then Robin comes in and puts the icing on the cake.
Hi . Can you please react to a song Live or die by the Beegees. From d Philippines 😅
Robin wrote it
I didn’t know that was what the song was about! Wow! Like your channel 👍💕 Have you done a reaction to Marcy Playground - Sex and Candy?
Thanks! When you start trying Mo songs, please do “Above and Beyond”. I love that one.
Was Robin with molly then
Only the Bee Gees could write a song this catchy about a man facing execution. Check out You Win Again from this performance. Phil Collins is on drums and Brian May joins in on guitar.
Will do, thank you!
Speaking of 'bustin' a string', watch SRV "Look at Little Sister" LIVE @ Austin City Limits (89' I think).
Mind blowing...& you're welcome.
Thank you!

See if you recognize the drummer.🤔
Phil Collins! 😃
I'm not a fan of this rendition of this song. The tempo was too fast. The studio version was much better.
Too many interruptions
