I would agree with you, yet there are many current bands that sound great, yes they are not as famous and I can only hope they do become as famous as the Bee Gees but I'd suggest you check out bands like The milk carton kids (I know, don't be fooled by their name haha), check out their song Michigan for instance, other artists I can think of are a few that came together to cover a Neil Young song, they are AJ Lee and the Brothers Comatose (again, don't pay attention to names haha) and their rendition of Harvest moon, although it's not an original of theirs it's gorgeous! Outside of full on three part harmonies though I'd recommend for instance the Tedeschi Trucks Band and their beautiful vocalists, the lead singer is a very good guitar player as well, her husband who plays slide and other styles is legendary, their backup vocalists are top notch and even their hammond/keyboard player is a great singer! They have a horn section, two drummers, they are amazing!! Look for them live on here, some people posted great shows of theirs just a few days ago in Atlanta! Also, I just thought of another great duo with great harmonies, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlngs, they might have parted now (though I'm not sure) but were still performing, writing and singing beautiful harmonies just a few years back. Many other bands that are not famous as Lady Gaga but what can you do, it's up to us to put them out there and buy their work and go see them live (financially support their efforts, as back in the Bee Gees days it was "much easier", now the internet gives it up for free...).
They had a whole career before Saturday Night Fever. I love their early music. They really were very, very talented and get painted with a broad brush re: disco years.
The Midnight Special days were the best. So much good music on the TV every week, and when the Bee Gees were on they were always fantastic. I miss those days and the Bee Gees.
Success with the disco stuff and some people completely underated and tarnished them but that was just 5% of what they truly were. A genius vocal group unrivalled
So true.. I have to admit and I apologize to them. Like every day... 1979 disco sucks. It was just what we did.... Saturday night fever.. for most of us there in the Midwest. But wow, I'm revisiting the Bee Gees this past year and I listen to them every day. I cannot get enough and I'm grateful that we have these recordings and every song of theirs. I absolutely❤ FYI, Robin is my fave!! Check out his dance moves! FYI still have never seen Saturday night fever 😬 their music came out before the movie so..
If you're here...you probably know the songs already....for those who don't 00:00 New York Mining Disaster 1941 01:29 I Started A Joke 02:20 Massachusetts 03:53 How Can You Mend A Broken Heart? Amazing stuff!! I remember seeing this as a young kid, when it first aired. Great then, and even greater now! WOW!
Barry was always considered the best looking one, but y'know there's just something about Robin's quirky looks that gets me 🥰 And his quavering vibrato... Nothing else like it! All three (four, with Andy) were AMAZINGLY talented.
We used to get together for The Midnight Special. The harder bands came on in the late part of the show. Today's " artists" could never do what these artists did back then. I grew up to their best music, before Disco and I started a Joke got to everyone...Such a beautiful song. Robin was a gift to all of us. Robin's voice was...... Angelic .... All 3 of them was perfection..
No matter what they did you always knew it was them, nobody sounded like them. Most of their music usually made you feel better. Even Saturday Night Fever was a great soundtrack even if you didn’t like disco.
I wasn't alive when this stuff aired but being able to experience musical performances like this for the first time and with such visual/audio clarity is such a treat! Thank you, folks at Midnight Special, it means a lot and I hope you keep going!
To all the young musicians out there Work hard work hard work hard on your Music. Not on your appearance or anything else and maybe one day we will all have some really good music again.
Look kids - three brothers, playing instruments, singing in perfect harmony - no auto tune, singing timeless classic songs they wrote themselves flawlessly in front of a live audience. It used to be what a performer needed to be considered a talent.
I always looked forward throughout the decades for their medley at every live performance and, in my opinion, it didn't get any better than that. Usually two guitars and three amazing men singing behind one microphone. Sheer perfection!
These brothers we born to be musicians. Not only they could sing, they were creative song writers and adapted to changes that occurred over the 60s, 70s and 80s. Their downfall was their very high output of songs that made them dominate the music industry during the late 70s. Easily one of the most melodic group of singers that did not need any props or backup.
I'm gonna say it, in my teens I was not a Bee Gee's fan. That being said, now at 65, I am astounded at their harmonies. Live, they are unequalled. I have come to truly appreciate them so much over the years.
No existirà otra banda como los Bee Gees. Éstos hermanitos Gibb eran grandes genios de la música. Barry sigue triunfando a pesar de estar solito, en paz descansen Maurice y Robin 🌼🙏🌼. Barry te amaré por siempre. 💖🥰🤩😍😘💖
Какие красивые песни, какие замечательные братья.Сколько романтики, на душе радостно. Они как будто родные нам люди,хочется обнять,сказать им что-то хорошее.Спасибо братья ГИББ.СПАСИБО!
Ahora 1 de Mayo 2024 en Buenos Aires Argentina Estoy llorando de amor, el amor que provoca la magia unica irrepetible y eterna de los hermanos Gibb, gracias Dios por haber sido testigo de este milagro llamado Bee Gees
Perfect leadvocals of Barry and Robin to hear like nearly always. But also listen to Maurice, doin' harmonies on point. Sometimes a lower third voice and even the highest to hear on these tracks.
This blows apart all the modern music acts of today, three voices, perfect harmonies and two guitars

@@SandrinesVoxServices Great music pretty much died after 1979, I wouldn't give my brain the disappointment of listening to today's garbage music!
And no autotune, just pure talent.
so true @@SandrinesVoxServices
There will never be another band bigger the The Bee Gees
Time will never tarnish these guys sound! They are a gift from God. Always in our hearts and minds!
I’m 75 years old.I love The Bee Gees. Robin is my favorite. I do miss him sooo much❤️❤️❤️
The brothers are amazing.
Imagine being their mom and listening to them rehearsing on a Friday morning.
No auto tune or lip synching - just TALENT. Nothing like the absolute rubbish they foist on us now.
So true.
And to think this was before Saturday Night Fever. Thank you Midnight Special. This was fabulous.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@themidnightspecialtvshow You have brought so much joy into so many peoples lives by bringing the Midnight Special to CZcams.
@@marygriffiths2950 Thanks so much for the kind words. It has been our pleasure and glad you are enjoying it.
@@themidnightspecialtvshow Nice👍👍👍👍

What a fortunate life I have had to be blessed with The Bee Gees❤❤❤
The BEE GEES 1960's catalogue of songs is well worth exploring.
Zero help, no click track, no lip syncing, pure talent, God bless the Bee Gees
Yes! ❤
I couldn't agree more 😊
And they are using a wireless guitar in the 70s or 80s?

@@jeffreyalbarandorivera9750the guitars are wired, you can tell at the end 5:57 when they pull the guitars away
The Midnight Special days were the best. So much good music on the TV every week, and when the Bee Gees were on they were always fantastic. I miss those days and the Bee Gees.
Couldn't agree more!
The Bee Bees were to the Midnight Special what Al Green was to Soul Train. The best.
@@sandramclelland2674 Great way to put it and absolutely true!!
@@themidnightspecialtvshow That's all the best
And playing live, not lipsynching!
When Robin sings "tomorrow". Perhaps the most unique voice in all of pop music.
Two acoustic guitars and three great voices are enough to this magic.
Born for it. No question.
Yes I LOVED THE BEE GEES
What talent. Those voices are pure magic. Those of us who grew up with this music are so fortunate.
Success with the disco stuff and some people completely underated and tarnished them but that was just 5% of what they truly were. A genius vocal group unrivalled
Robin, Maurice and Barry are beyond Great! I have. ll do, Love their voices and their amazing skills
I love you. BeeGees!!!

@@laurarush a mi no me gustó, no termine de mirarla, me fui!
@@estelacobas4416I agree, the music was incredible but the story was difficult to watch and left me with a bad feeling.
This would make a MUCH better Super Bowl halftime show!
Robin has returned among the angels , he descended on earth to give us his voice as a gift. Voices like those , cant be matched.
Never be another like the Bee Gees harmony. It will will never be matched.
Wow absolutely amazing.
If you're here...you probably know the songs already....for those who don't
00:00 New York Mining Disaster 1941
01:29 I Started A Joke
02:20 Massachusetts
03:53 How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?
Amazing stuff!! I remember seeing this as a young kid, when it first aired. Great then, and even greater now! WOW!
thanks
thanks bro
and they didn't even do "To love Somebody"
This was American bandstand for grownups. There's nothing like this on television nowadays.
Many bands could not pull of a true performance, or an acoustic presentation of the "songs" now.
Robin had a once in a lifetime voice . They were so special .
He certainly did ❤
Barry was always considered the best looking one, but y'know there's just something about Robin's quirky looks that gets me 🥰 And his quavering vibrato... Nothing else like it! All three (four, with Andy) were AMAZINGLY talented.

Robin had such a beautiful, sensitive voice. Love the Bee Gees still!
I can only hope that these three know the impact that they have made on our life
No matter what they did you always knew it was them, nobody sounded like them. Most of their music usually made you feel better. Even Saturday Night Fever was a great soundtrack even if you didn’t like disco.
Only one word describes their music for me....PERFECTION....
Perfection, an exact word that defines the Bee Gees! Congratulations! 👍🏻🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻🎸🕺🏻❤️
The golden days where music is more magical people are less interrupted and preoccupied. Thank you for this upload. 🙏
These guys have (had) the most unusual (and beautiful) harmony in the entire history of song.
Beste Band aller Zeiten ,ich werde sie nie vergessen, sie leben in meinem Herzen weiter, ihre Musik ist unsterblich
The sheer emotion from them is beautiful
Their voices are so together you can't tell who is singing what harmony. Phenomenal talent.
Live perfection. We always eagerly awaited their medleys. I am loving these performances with such great audio and visual quality. Thanks so much.
Our pleasure! Feel free to spread the word.
Best sound
@@themidnightspecialtvshow Nice job

And some of us who were alive back then, didn’t realize what we had ! We do now.
Well said!👍
Our pleasure!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The BeeGees started out as 3 young boys wanting to one day make it in the music industry. You can see their beginnings here on CZcams.
Such a wonderful program with so many beautiful BeeGees songs just melt people’s heart love Barry’s delicate and soft sweet voice and the harmony
To all the young musicians out there Work hard work hard work hard on your Music. Not on your appearance or anything else and maybe one day we will all have some really good music again.
Maurice on high harmonies - he is so accomplished. So underrated.
Been a Bee Gees fan since a preteen in 1967 and still love them !
Three of the most beautiful harmonies there ever were.
Music like this will never be made again.
Thank you for sharing! 💖
Look kids - three brothers, playing instruments, singing in perfect harmony - no auto tune, singing timeless classic songs they wrote themselves flawlessly in front of a live audience. It used to be what a performer needed to be considered a talent.
The talent they had was incredible.
Love them in their early years, 3 beautiful voices and a couple guitars❤❤❤
The Bee Gees are a musical treasure -
I love Robin's beautiful smile at 2:28 😍❤️
so talented, I am glad I am old enough to have lived through this genre in real time...
So wonderful to hear Robin sing, and to see him smile. These guys are angels😇
Il sorriso di Robin mi fa sciogliere... ❤❤❤❤
I fell in love with Robin Gibb during this medley. I was fourteen years old. ❤
Yes. Am happy seeing him smile. Seems serious often. Love the Bee Gees.😊😊😊😊
Love to see Robin happy and smiling!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
It seems almost surreal to see them when they were this young and with this high quality video and audio. They were ridiculously good.
What a gorgeous band!!!! I LOVE the Bee Gees!!! Great harmony!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖💖 Thanks for sharing!!!!👍👍👍
Robin! You are so lovely. Your voice is perfection.
Damn this is so good, pure gold
Must say something here…just three guys and two guitars…my back went chilly and goose bumps on my arms. ! Could anybody else match this?!

Another quality video of the Bee Gees from this channel.
❤
Thank you. Much appreciated.
So nice of you
My favorite performances from them are acoustic and the three at a microphone.
Simply unbeatable!
This is the first time I've seen this performance. And I might say I really enjoyed it a lot. Midnight Special please post some more of these...
Beautiful Barry Gibb❤❤
My lifetime favorite group 😍❣️🥰
Phenomenal. Magnificent. Superior. Beautiful. Handsome. Humble. Lovable. Talented. Wholesome. One of a kind.
That's a very good song. How can you mend a broken heart
I just love these medleys!
They had no idea what was coming.
Saturday Night Fever and Superstardom!
Fabulous BeeGees in every Midnight Special.❤❤
Their catalogue is amazing, one of the best bands ever.
Bringing back a LOT of great memories right now!!👍😄😄
Harmony makes my heart melt
I'm gonna say it, in my teens I was not a Bee Gee's fan. That being said, now at 65, I am astounded at their harmonies. Live, they are unequalled.
I have come to truly appreciate them so much over the years.
Same here…but I’m 69…always liked them but never really appreciated their unbelievable talent until I was much older.
That happens, you can always change your mind later on...The Bee Gees, lagendary!
Same here wow
Their disco years made them megastars but lost me also. Years later I became aware of their earlier songs and realized how good they were so young
The same for me ! Amazing
I loved their early stuff, played their first few albums to death. Had the Odessa album with red velvet cover. Such great songwriters at an early age!

I’m watching now April 2024. I am so glad i found this video. The best ever happened in music industry❤❤❤❤
Memories are real and wonderful!
Love Maurice singing the higher harmony
Best band of the last 60 years
Thanks a lot gor this video, i have never seen before, great fan since childhood
Bee❤gees❤forever❤❤❤❤
Nothing like their pre-disco songs! I prefer the older songs.
Robin looks like an angel in that red turtleneck. ❤
Puts a lump in my throat
Kids this is how real artist made a music a melody, a good story, blending voice, a guitar and a microphone as simple as that
Such superb songwriting. Vocals as only brothers can harmonize.
Perfect leadvocals of Barry and Robin to hear like nearly always. But also listen to Maurice, doin' harmonies on point. Sometimes a lower third voice and even the highest to hear on these tracks.
Many people did not realise that it was Mo on the top line in harmonies.
Reading The Story of The Bee Gees now. Best of all time!!! No one compares
Perfeição !! Nada comparável às vozes dos Bee Gees
hermoso video !!!! La voz de Robin espectacular ,!!!! 💔🌹🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
Smooooooth vocals. Just beautiful.
Just incredible
They were the best❤
Absolute beauty...love the Bee Gees
La palabra que me viene a la mente es PERFECCIÓN 😮😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😎👏🏻👏🏻
They were musical geniuses
Loved these guys forever, ❤, got to see them in concert in Saskatoon in 1972! ♥️
Miss them very much
Massachusetts still makes me get choked up. Beautiful ❤
40 años amándolos y seguimos, es AMOR ETERNO ❤❤❤❤
Showcasing the superb songwriting. 👌
Otra vez los vuelvo haber ..y mi pecho hinchado de emoción ..grande los Bee gees ..por que sucede eso ..? Increíble sensación
