I’m 61.. and the Bee Gees for me were a subject of ridicule for your typical Led Zep and Deep Purple fan when I was growing up.. with their tight clothes, and high voices.. but time has made me see how great they really were, in terms of their ability in their performances .. and their importance in the whole scheme of things.. best of luck to you Barry, and long may you live buddy! 🤗
Lol! You mean Elaine dancing like Robin. I've noticed his dance moves in several videos now and thought of Elaine. Some videos with his long hair he looked like a woman. He looks so much better here with his shorter hair and highlights. It's like night and day so much better.
Who else is listening to this in 2024 and keeps coming back to this video every now and again? I didn’t really get into The Bee Gees until a year or two ago, now that Barry is the last surviving brother. Despite being the oldest. Kind of a bummer. But they made great music.
Agreed..I believe MO was the first to use falsetto on "Nights on Broadway but Barry was given the credit for his falsetto afterwards. His was great as well.
It really wasn't like that, when they were in the studio the idea came to Barry, but when they played this song live, Maurice supported Barry with the falsetto since Barry was singing the chorus. Either way they are spectacular
I couldn’t figure that out until I listened again 3X. So sad we lost Maurice so young. Another brilliant BeeGee I just went on eBay and bought the greatest hits CD for my car. ❤️❤️❤️
In 1975, Maurice and Robin were 25:years old and Barry was 28 years old, and they had already gone through a “has been” stage, in the early 70’s. Their resurgence was greater than their earlier fame. Goes to prove that talent and hard work will always win through.
@@olivas91 I am a huge fan of each one of them. Since the early 1970's. My thoughts and prayers are with Maurice, Robin and Andy Gibbs. I always think of Barry Gibbs , my heart goes out for Barry and entire family.
@@paolodechipiece1027 The Beach Boys theme was west coast USA mainly and was a mix of cousins and friends. The BGs were all family with a universal theme.
Right here!!!! No lip syncing,no overdubbed tape music,no nothing!!!! Super raw talent!!! The 70's we're home to some of the best music ever recorded, period.
Who’s still listening to this gem in 2024?! BeeGees are the best and I have always Loved this song and grew up listening to their music-when listening it always brings me back to my younger years!!! RIP to the brothers Gibb that have passed away way too young!!! Blessings 💙🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏💙
Here with you in 2024 listening to this timeless musical theme, there is not and there will not be another group like the Bee Gees. I send you a special greeting.
Underrated?!?! You made my day! Or is there a new definition of this word that I overlooked? He never sang the lead, but he wrote the songs with Barry and arranged the harmonies and never missed anything. He was the power station of them!
@@stephenstone8480 Of course without a doubt. It is a group that had a lot of focus and that only played rock and roll or commercial pop/rock. And of course the most famous, Probably the most influential, that even the Gibbs played their songs, But have you heard of the Bee Gees? good. It is a very underrated group that was not only framed in one genre. Because they had the ability to do many more things with their arrangements, ideas and music.
This is the rawest live performance i have ever heard from Bee Gees. Its proof they performed live even in places where most lip sync. I absolutely love that this is far from perfect. It makes them so human.
I'm 71, and yes, I grew up with the Beatles, Bee Gees, Beach Boys, The Who, Janis Joplin, Hendrix, Stones, Cream, a variable buffet of early 60's rock like Pet Clark, The Supremes, The Temptations, through the protest years in Vietnam. I graduated high school in '71 just when CSN&Y, Guess Who, Yes, Cat Stevens, Jethro Tull, McCartney, George Harrison, Lennon, Badfinger, and Carole King and everybody started to take off! We had the greatest music every made!!! I still love the BeeGees, they rock! THANK YOU for posting this, it takes me back to my glory days!!! ROCK ON EVERYBODY!!!!!
I was honored to experience their music as it was being released. They were amazingly talented. They transitioned superbly through the disco era. Plus, they wrote some great music for other artists like Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick and others. There will never be another trio like them. Amazing. ❤
No one sounds as good as the Bee Gees. Their voices, harmonies are incredible! Never seen such awesome talent as they have. I miss Maurice and Robin so much, and Andy too. But I'm glad that Barry is still singing and that he and Linda are still together. They are such a beautiful couple! 😁❤️😘😘😘😘😘 Love you all.😍❤️😁😘
Todos los que amamos a Los Bee Geed extrañamos mucho a Maurice y Robin , es una pena muy grande. Que mala suerte tuvieron con la salud , para mi son los mejores ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely killer live performance. They were fantastic artists, able to perform their music live and nail it. They were the genuine article. And that drum line is red hot.
Exactly, a group capable of interpreting any rhythm without the support of technology, all totally live, and especially this song had to be a headache for the drummer.
Such an AWESOME performance by the Brothers! My Barry singing in his deep strong voice is sooo good..just PERFECTION. And he looks soooo FINE.😍 They are so incredible everytime..every performance. I will ALWAYS love the Brothers Gibb.♥️♥️♥️ BEE GEES FOREVER💙💙💙🎶🎸
This song brings me back to my high school days in the mid-70’s. The BeeGees were my absolute favorite. At 64 it brings a tear to me eye remembering those wonderful days of my youth and the thought of Maurice and Robin gone. Love is alive for this trio.
It is beautiful when memories of youth come to mind, it is also moving. I was not born at that time, but I have also happened to remember special moments with these songs.
One of the best televised live performances of all time. I've watched it many times over the years, and I'm thrilled every time, particuarly Maurice's effortless falsetto towards the end.
I totally agree with you. I'm 59 and loved the Bee Gees a couple years later when Saturday Night Fever came out and became HUGE. This performance though is special. I've never seen Barry so focused; and as you said, one of the best live televised performances.
What made the Bee Gees somewhat unique was the harmony that they were capable of. It is a physical fact that related family members have similar bone structures, and families can have very pleasant harmonies. Occasionally you can mix unrelated people and do it as well, but so many family groups have been successful because of the harmony aspect.
Wow good. Traveling listening to music by the Bee Gees is a delight. They are also my favorite band and I love the way they harmonize, their chord progressions and their versatility. They are incredible
Bee Gees is by far the greatest pop iconic group ever, this is treasure that can`t be replicated , as a musician myself, I can't comprehend how these guys could shoot hit after hit...almost impossible in those days when music was a real art and you had to be talented to be heard once on the radio, not like today whereas any jackass put out a bunch of shitty music that is not even music. Bee Gees will live forever... what a gift to the planet!
One of the great things about Midnight Special was the performances were all live and unique to that moment in time. So cool to hear this wonderful live version by one of the 70s best!
I think what makes this moment more valuable is how they are playing completely live, such a complicated song and this definitely makes artists like the Bee Gees unforgettable.
Even though Robin had the higher, more used and recognizable voice register, Mo could hit higher notes. He did on a lot of their studio recordings, but Robin did most of them live. That's why they were one of the few bands that sounded as good live, as in the studio, because they were brothers, the voices traded off one another.
At that time it didn't even occur to them that a couple of years later a movie would make them world stars. Here they were already very good and magical, what came next is heavenly.
@@olivas91 I don't know about "heavenly" but they were good. But I did prefer their early music. Like "Massachusetts" , "Smile" . Harmonies were exceptional.
@@anthonyangeli256 I understand you. Those harmonies were unique, they created songs with chord progressions and harmonics that simply enveloped you. I also lean towards his first stage, without detracting from disco music.
@@olivas91Барри не последний выживший. У него еще жива самая старшая их сестра Лесли. Она живет в Австралии, у нее очень много детей, кажется 8. Она мне очень симпатична, потому что она вполне разумно решила, что в одной семье не может быть много гениев и поэтому живет обычной жизнью. В их семье гений один - это Барри. Когда в раннем детстве он едва не умер, родители решили родить ему братика или сестричку, чтобы ему не было скучно. И родились близнецы. Они были для Барри как бы приложением, поэтому всю жизнь были на заднем плане. Просто так им было предназначено судьбой. Они должны были это понять и смириться. Но они не смирились, всю жизнь ревновали, злились на Барри. Но выше головы не прыгнешь, не все рождаются такими звездами, как Барри. Это Барри решил в детстве стать знаменитым, а близнецы согласились и пошли ЗА НИМ!
@@Александра-с6ю2ь На самом деле я думаю, что они умерли, потому что настала их очередь, а что касается последнего выжившего человека, я имел в виду последнюю Би Джи, как вы говорите, Лесли еще жива, но она не художница. Что касается Барри и его братьев, то у них действительно было много проблем, но в зрелом возрасте все это закончилось, Барри всегда был лидером группы с тех пор, как они были детьми в 1963 году. Как бы то ни было, они оставили большое наследие, и это никогда не будет стерт.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE SONG! I never knew Robin sang that high register part, but it was beautiful! And Barry had some amazing non-falsetto chops here! Love these guys!
In 1977 I was in Manhattan on business and went to see “Saturday Night Fever” at a cinema only blocks from where the nightclub scenes were filmed. The opening scene of John Travolta walking down the sidewalk swinging his gallon of paint while one of the Bee Gee’s songs played is still firmly edged in my mind and heart. One of those magical moments you don’t realize are magical until you think back on them ….
That scene is immersive and in a certain way, by starting the film like this, it makes you want to see it in its entirety. I also have that scene recorded in my mind.
I was living in Northern Virginia , when the movie came out . The theater was crowded , thank goodness , they had 2 theaters with the same movies. To this day that same theater always crowded. In that region , everywhere is crowded 24/7.
The great Maurice had his moments of harmonies and had various types of voices, it is impressive how he does the falsetto here to wait for Barry to catch his breath. And Robin wow, he was at his best
This is NOT disco. Always my favorite Bee Gees track. The perfect use of Robin’s vibrato style. If this is really live, that’s commendable for 1975. Even the bridge is brilliant. I didn’t realize Maurice was the high vocal at the end.
geoegeorr1042 - How old are you ? Were you alive when this song was new ? To say this isn't disco is just a far fetched saying , the '70 ' s were transitioning in to a disco sound and this is a fine example of it !
You can clearly see that since these guys started out performing while in grade school, that they had the basis of timing, and harmony, and pitch down cold…..before they even cut their first record. Real musicians. Well done.
I truly believe they were the best singers ever. They loved each other so much. To see them perform together was nothing short of magical!! I will always love them! ❤❤❤
Still really enjoy The Bee Gees 50 years later.The older I get the better I like them.They were unique and had a one of a kind harmony sound.❤Timeless.Sorry that Barry is alone now
I had the privilege of seeing the Bee Gees on my 18th birthday in 1977. I had just lost my Dad 6 months ago and the concert lifted my spirits more then they will ever know. I was so in love with Barry and he delivered pure perfection with his brothers. This is actually one of my favorite songs. ❤❤❤. What a great way to celebrate 18 trips around the world!!!. Love you Patty
@@olivas91 I went to that concert with my heart ripped into pieces. For the 3 hours they performed, I was transformed by seeing my idols. The grief took a back seat for those few hours. 1977 will always be the worst of times mixed with some of the best of times. The Bee Gees were certainly a highlight of such a devastating year. I'm 64 now and the memory of that night is still sweet and magical. ❤️😍❤️
Wow, reading your words I can imagine how difficult it was for you, but I'm also glad you were able to dull the pain for that moment by hearing the Bee Gees live, that's a once in a lifetime thing. And although we will never forget our loved ones, I am sure he enjoyed knowing that you were there.
@@olivas91 thank you so much for your kind words and compassion. And thanks for posting the Bee Gees singing my favorite song. Grief is just the price we pay for great love ❤️❤️. You are such a sweetheart.
Me & my wife were riding in the car together just yesterday. We wanted to change things up and tuned in "the 70s on 7" Sirrius XM Radio. We've been married for 39 years. We both love music... music of all kinds. I play drums and vocals in an emerging rock band called, Axial Flow Band... so yeah...we usually rock heavy, but this song came in and we were like falling in love all over again listening to it!❤️ It took us back...way back. I wanted to take her out dancing and romancing! Its gonna happen! Its why I'm here now. The Bee Gees... impeccable vocals, meaningful lyrics and solid in the pocket grooves! Makes me wanna dance!🤘💯😎
Wow I never knew Maurice could sing falsetto, just brilliant. He seemed such a quiet and unassuming guy always content to be in the background. So sad that he and Robin and Andy are gone.😔
Maurice was like that. He never wanted to appear more than anyone else. And he had a beautiful voice, but he was happy being the brains of the group, the harmonies he created are spectacular
was a teenager in the mid-late 70's never appreciated their music then you know disco sucks but now the harmonies are awesome right up there with the Eagles, CSNY and the Bangles
CAN ANYONE IDENTIFY WITH ME? I'm 60 years old and Ive had a very interesting story about The Bee Gees. . First I listened to A,M pop music and then slowly m+eet by Gerry Rafferty and slowly began listening to Zeppelin, Sabbath, The Doors and I was hooked on rock. Then came MTV and I got sucked into them for a decade while all the time i loved the Bee Gees. Growing up in Boston an being a hard rock type of guy, You couldnt mentioned the Bee Gees in front of the guys.. Same with M.J. and the same with Manilow. Fast forward to 2024, These guys are incredible, Their song writing, Their timing, There is no one like them. In my opnion their in a league of their own.. They really are. And Oh, For the ones who gave peer pressure not to admit you like the Bee Gees? I love them and watcha gonna do about it!! : )
Greetings PAUL, have read about many people who went through the same situation as you, but time has proven you right and all those who, whether silent or public, liked the Bee Gees, as you say, are in their own league, they are simply spectacular and unique in their kind.
I’m 61.. and the Bee Gees for me were a subject of ridicule for your typical Led Zep and Deep Purple fan when I was growing up.. with their tight clothes, and high voices.. but time has made me see how great they really were, in terms of their ability in their performances .. and their importance in the whole scheme of things.. best of luck to you Barry, and long may you live buddy! 🤗

Bee Gees is by far the greatest pop iconic group ever, this is treasure that can`t be replicated , as a musician myself, I can't comprehend how these guys could shoot hit after hit...almost impossible in those days when music was a real art and you had to be talented to be heard once on the radio, not like today whereas any jackass put out a bunch of shitty music that is not even music. Bee Gees will live forever... what a gift to the planet!
Exactly, there is no way anyone can even come close to what the Bee Gees did in music, the talent these men had is unmatched. The good music is over
One of the great things about Midnight Special was the performances were all live and unique to that moment in time. So cool to hear this wonderful live version by one of the 70s best!
I think what makes this moment more valuable is how they are playing completely live, such a complicated song and this definitely makes artists like the Bee Gees unforgettable.
Great to hear Robin and Maurice also doing some solo parts. Wow they could all reach those high notes. :)
Just amazing
Even though Robin had the higher, more used and recognizable voice register, Mo could hit higher notes. He did on a lot of their studio recordings, but Robin did most of them live. That's why they were one of the few bands that sounded as good live, as in the studio, because they were brothers, the voices traded off one another.
exactly, depending on who was better before a concert.
Great song by the fabulous Bee Gees. Reminds me of their early days & early hits. Those certainly were the days of some great music.
At that time it didn't even occur to them that a couple of years later a movie would make them world stars. Here they were already very good and magical, what came next is heavenly.
@@olivas91 I don't know about "heavenly" but they were good. But I did prefer their early music. Like "Massachusetts" , "Smile" . Harmonies were exceptional.
@@anthonyangeli256 I understand you. Those harmonies were unique, they created songs with chord progressions and harmonics that simply enveloped you. I also lean towards his first stage, without detracting from disco music.
@Jose, or did the Bee Gees with their Music make this one movie so great, WHO can Tell ;-)
@@Jaanukka Yeah Absolutely
Pure melodic perfection. These brothers were so endearing...even after they're gone. Love forever to Robin, Maurice, Andy and Barry.
They're Amazing, The Best.
Но Барри еще жив!!!😮😮
Правильно, последний выживший
@@olivas91Барри не последний выживший. У него еще жива самая старшая их сестра Лесли. Она живет в Австралии, у нее очень много детей, кажется 8. Она мне очень симпатична, потому что она вполне разумно решила, что в одной семье не может быть много гениев и поэтому живет обычной жизнью. В их семье гений один - это Барри. Когда в раннем детстве он едва не умер, родители решили родить ему братика или сестричку, чтобы ему не было скучно. И родились близнецы. Они были для Барри как бы приложением, поэтому всю жизнь были на заднем плане. Просто так им было предназначено судьбой. Они должны были это понять и смириться. Но они не смирились, всю жизнь ревновали, злились на Барри. Но выше головы не прыгнешь, не все рождаются такими звездами, как Барри. Это Барри решил в детстве стать знаменитым, а близнецы согласились и пошли ЗА НИМ!
@@Александра-с6ю2ь На самом деле я думаю, что они умерли, потому что настала их очередь, а что касается последнего выжившего человека, я имел в виду последнюю Би Джи, как вы говорите, Лесли еще жива, но она не художница. Что касается Барри и его братьев, то у них действительно было много проблем, но в зрелом возрасте все это закончилось, Барри всегда был лидером группы с тех пор, как они были детьми в 1963 году. Как бы то ни было, они оставили большое наследие, и это никогда не будет стерт.
🎤 LEGENDS ⭐⭐⭐
I remember watching this in 1975 and deciding they were my favorite group. Middle school classmates laughed at me 😮😢
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE SONG! I never knew Robin sang that high register part, but it was beautiful! And Barry had some amazing non-falsetto chops here! Love these guys!
In 1977 I was in Manhattan on business and went to see “Saturday Night Fever” at a cinema only blocks from where the nightclub scenes were filmed. The opening scene of John Travolta walking down the sidewalk swinging his gallon of paint while one of the Bee Gee’s songs played is still firmly edged in my mind and heart. One of those magical moments you don’t realize are magical until you think back on them ….
That scene is immersive and in a certain way, by starting the film like this, it makes you want to see it in its entirety. I also have that scene recorded in my mind.
I was living in Northern Virginia , when the movie came out .
The theater was crowded , thank goodness , they had 2 theaters with the same movies.
To this day that same theater always crowded. In that region , everywhere is crowded 24/7.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Loved the Bee Gees, loved the 70s. 75-76 were great years for music and for my family. I would go back again...
what a beautiful times
Eu me emociono cada vez que ouço essa música,Mauríci fazendo o falsete
❤️❤️❤️
Robin is in great physical shape here!
Great live vocals 👏
I didn't know Maurice sung falsetto 🎉
The great Maurice had his moments of harmonies and had various types of voices, it is impressive how he does the falsetto here to wait for Barry to catch his breath. And Robin wow, he was at his best
Great physical shape is Right!😎😘 and that beige skin-tight outfit left little to the imagination!!😁
#WHEW!😜
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 he looked good
If I'm not mistaken it was Barry who did the falsetto parts in the album version.
@@WaldoReyJr Yes, he does it in the recordings. Here Maurice supports him because it would be impossible for Barry because he is with the choir
This live performance still blows me away. I'll be back soon to listen again ❤
Great Song, so amazing.
This is NOT disco. Always my favorite Bee Gees track. The perfect use of Robin’s vibrato style. If this is really live, that’s commendable for 1975. Even the bridge is brilliant. I didn’t realize Maurice was the high vocal at the end.
In this song it was always Maurice who did the falsetto to support Barry who was singing the chorus. And you're right, this is an amazing song.
geoegeorr1042 - How old are you ? Were you alive when this song was new ? To say this isn't disco is just a far fetched saying , the '70 ' s were transitioning in to a disco sound and this is a fine example of it !
You can clearly see that since these guys started out performing while in grade school, that they had the basis of timing, and harmony, and pitch down cold…..before they even cut their first record. Real musicians. Well done.
Exactly, that's why they came this far. The Gibbs are synonymous with Magic.
I love how the audience is basically still during this performance. Nowadays, given the same scenario, the audience would be rockin’.
Exactly ❤️
I truly believe they were the best singers ever. They loved each other so much. To see them perform together was nothing short of magical!! I will always love them! ❤❤❤
beautiful words, thank you, i think they're the best band ever
Still really enjoy The Bee Gees 50 years later.The older I get the better I like them.They were unique and had a one of a kind harmony sound.❤Timeless.Sorry that Barry is alone now
Without a doubt this group was wonderful, years have passed and their songs continue to play. Now only Barry is left, the last man standing
I had the privilege of seeing the Bee Gees on my 18th birthday in 1977. I had just lost my Dad 6 months ago and the concert lifted my spirits more then they will ever know. I was so in love with Barry and he delivered pure perfection with his brothers. This is actually one of my favorite songs. ❤❤❤. What a great way to celebrate 18 trips around the world!!!. Love you Patty
I'm sorry about your dad, but I'm glad that these songs reach your soul for the moment you need, seeing the Bee Gees must be beautiful
@@olivas91 I went to that concert with my heart ripped into pieces. For the 3 hours they performed, I was transformed by seeing my idols. The grief took a back seat for those few hours. 1977 will always be the worst of times mixed with some of the best of times. The Bee Gees were certainly a highlight of such a devastating year. I'm 64 now and the memory of that night is still sweet and magical. ❤️😍❤️
Wow, reading your words I can imagine how difficult it was for you, but I'm also glad you were able to dull the pain for that moment by hearing the Bee Gees live, that's a once in a lifetime thing. And although we will never forget our loved ones, I am sure he enjoyed knowing that you were there.
@@olivas91 thank you so much for your kind words and compassion. And thanks for posting the Bee Gees singing my favorite song. Grief is just the price we pay for great love ❤️❤️. You are such a sweetheart.
Thank you very much for taking the time to watch the video. I appreciate your kindness for sharing that event in your life.
What a performance. Goosebumps. 😮
Yeahh
Just a awesome tune!
That's right
This is pure beauty in action and sound
Without a doubt ❤️
I remember back in the day thinking this was just disco music. Now being much older, I greatly appreciate their music now .
No one like Bee Gees
I just love the Bee gees they were the best of the best❤💚🩵💜🩷
Absolutely, best of all time
Mo shines here !! It is very easy to follow each voice, great all of them.
Absolutely ❤️
Me & my wife were riding in the car together just yesterday. We wanted to change things up and tuned in "the 70s on 7" Sirrius XM Radio. We've been married for 39 years. We both love music... music of all kinds. I play drums and vocals in an emerging rock band called, Axial Flow Band... so yeah...we usually rock heavy, but this song came in and we were like falling in love all over again listening to it!❤️
It took us back...way back. I wanted to take her out dancing and romancing! Its gonna happen! Its why I'm here now.
The Bee Gees... impeccable vocals, meaningful lyrics and solid in the pocket grooves! Makes me wanna dance!🤘💯😎
I am 59. This was an amazing time in my life 😊
These guys had a unique style, they are simply spectacular
Wow I never knew Maurice could sing falsetto, just brilliant. He seemed such a quiet and unassuming guy always content to be in the background. So sad that he and Robin and Andy are gone.😔
Maurice was like that. He never wanted to appear more than anyone else. And he had a beautiful voice, but he was happy being the brains of the group, the harmonies he created are spectacular
So much history! Their careers were started years before disco.... made epic music all throughout!
That's right, Just Amazing
They got alot of flack for disco but without them there would be no saturday nigh fever! Thay moved with the times
Greatly appreciate the brothers Gibb and how phenomenal the talent they possessed changed many aspects of music
agree with you ❤️
I love this version before Barry started doing everything Falsetto, love his deeper range-plus we can hear Robin so well
yeah, me too. I think his natural voice was very good.
Native NYer here and this tune was such a 70s hit!
Yes, beautiful times
70's music will never be match. Southern Rock . Disco, metal, R&B or Country.
❤️❤️❤️
My favorite performance video. ❤ they are so tight together and look like they are enjoying it ❤
Exactly, this is one of the Bee Gees' most compact performances, they were really enjoying it. 4 years later they would become world stars.
was a teenager in the mid-late 70's never appreciated their music then you know disco sucks but now the harmonies are awesome right up there with the Eagles, CSNY and the Bangles
👌❤️❤️❤️
Robin was unbelievable!
❤️❤️ Yeah❤️❤️
First time hearing this performed live and it's just wonderful. Such talented people.
Definitely, here you can see who is who. what a way to bring this song to life. They play it super cool
Nss
♥️
Maurice whipping out the falsetto!
Yes, is amazing
CAN ANYONE IDENTIFY WITH ME? I'm 60 years old and Ive had a very interesting story about The Bee Gees. . First I listened to A,M pop music and then slowly m+eet by Gerry Rafferty and slowly began listening to Zeppelin, Sabbath, The Doors and I was hooked on rock. Then came MTV and I got sucked into them for a decade while all the time i loved the Bee Gees. Growing up in Boston an being a hard rock type of guy, You couldnt mentioned the Bee Gees in front of the guys.. Same with M.J. and the same with Manilow. Fast forward to 2024, These guys are incredible, Their song writing, Their timing, There is no one like them. In my opnion their in a league of their own.. They really are. And Oh, For the ones who gave peer pressure not to admit you like the Bee Gees? I love them and watcha gonna do about it!! : )
1963 was a great yr for great people…..
Greetings PAUL, have read about many people who went through the same situation as you, but time has proven you right and all those who, whether silent or public, liked the Bee Gees, as you say, are in their own league, they are simply spectacular and unique in their kind.
❤❤❤
The HBO special on their story a couple years ago was awesome
❤️❤️👌 true
Such a great performance. ❤
And totally live
This is a transitional song between the early 70s Bee Gees and the disco Bee Gees and is a very good song.
Absolutely ❤️
