Thank You for putting all this out, collected all your DVD Releases and was hopeful that a youtube channel would appear and wah lah here it is. a few questions could you pop up a vid or 2 from the 1975 Uriah Heep performance pretty soon in case i croak before the episode airs on this cool channel ha ha . Other question 2 the shows ran for an hour and a half on network tv, commercials usually took 5 minutes to a half hour that would be 15 min to and hour and a half whats missing from these episodes about 7 to 10 min is it M. S. bumpers and ect. ? Thank You
Two hands, two mugs. 🙂
Best cover version ever of Beatles songs by our beloved BeeGees. Absolutely fantastic. They have nailed it.💖💖💖
What a powerful voice of Robin in I can't see no body. Terrific!❤❤
Kudos, to the Midnight Special for putting on amazing talent and showcasing their music 🎶 🎵. The BeeGees are amazing and unique in their style and sound 🎉🎉
In 1997 my older brother James died from Multiple Myeloma a blood cancer. He wanted to die at home and that’s were he left us. The Funeral Director Ray came to take his body to the funeral home. There was a problem tho, his assistant wasn’t available so Ray, asked if I’d help place Jim, in a body bag. I had him under his arms and placed him in the bag Ray had positioned on the floor. Since I’m thin, I struggled to lift Jim’s upper body. So Ray asked me if I wanted to take Jim’s legs instead. For the life of me, I don’t know why I thought of it, but I said “He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.” When I just heard the song, I began to cry and tears ran from these 80 year old eyes because I immediately thought of my brother James.
I'm so sorry about your brother Robert (or Bob). Thank you for sharing that personal moment with us, I feel honored.
I lost my brother on 2/22/21, he was 56, he had a stroke. I miss him very much.
@@SlimKeith11 I’m sorry to hear about your brother too. It’s a pain that never heals. It still hurts to think of my daddy who died 73 years ago when I was just 7 years old.
Robin Gibb's singing makes my heart flutter.
Thank you Bee Gees and Midnight Special.
Miss you so much Robin Gibb and it's been almost 12 years without you. Your music legacy will forever lives on 🥺🕊💔😔
también extraño mucho a nuestro grandioso y lindo Robin !!!💔😪💋🌹🎵🎵🎵
Thank you Burt Sugarman for not allowing NBC to wipe those tapes.
@gregoryduncan3067 Great comment. I totally agree. Thank you very much Mr. Sugarman for saving all this amazing Midnight Special footage. We all appreciate your efforts for creating this wonderful CZcams channel.
#Indeed! Thank you very, very Much!!!😘
Yes, thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤
Amen!
You are very welcome, Burt
I grew up with these groups, it is so good to see the rest of the British Invasion on this channel!
Robin's voice....... so good...
All 3 Gibb brothers voices are soooo good!
@@kthor 4; don’t forget Andy, so sad he died very young
la voz de Robin suave dulce es la que le da las armonías perfectas a todos los temas de bee gees !!! Cada uno de ellos cumple una función en el grupo los tres son uno solo !!!💋💔💔❤
Ah, the sexy 70’s, my favorite era! In no small part because of men like gorgeous, exceptionally gifted Barry Gibb - and that outfit 😍🤩 I don’t think a man would be allowed to wear an outfit like that on television in 2024. Which is why I’m saving this to watch at my leisure.😉
Who do you think could wear such an outfit today? Who has such a gorgeous masculine face, gorgeous hair and sexy body? He has a great voice, he is very funny, he is very sympathetic ❤️ and this man is a family man, a loyal husband and a very good father. This man is Barry Gibb. There is no other like him in the world. he is unique
@@Melke.2024 agreed!
Seriously, those lace-up hip huggers are super sexy. Barry has always dressed hip, classy and masculine. Not to mention that voice!
@@michellefederico4510he is a one in a million man ❤
Barry's definitely a babe magnet!!
❤️🔥😘❤️🔥
After 50 tears of wishing I could see this episode again, I found it!!! At 29.45 I'm the squarest guy in the audience.. Wearing my white shirt with the Greek letters for lambda chi alpha fraternity.
Were you a jock?🤔
I quit the football team in 9th grade. Figured my best chance for getting girls was to get in a band.@@jamesmack3314
You were lucky to be there at that very moment. I love Bee Gees ever since when I was a kid even though I didn't live in the same generation as them. Still, knowing them and watching them like this was already a great pleasure to have.
Oh, how I ENVY you! I was born in '79, so this is all I've got. I have to ask: how on EARTH did y'all SIT thru such incredible music?! Bee Gees' "I Can't See Nobody" would've gotten me kicked out for standing up to dance! LOL! Anyway, as a complete stranger on the internet, I'm happy to have seen you! :D
I' not sure how to answer that question. It was a very small studio and we were so close to the performers that we didn't need to rush the stage. We had more respect for the rules back then, @@BrownieCin
Bee Gees wiped the floor with all those Brit Invasion bands, who didn't travel into the 70s very well. The Bee Gees were, and still are, timeless.
I saw Peter Noone two years ago-- eat those words!! LOLLLLLLLLLLLL
Aww, bless him. But think of the song -writing catalogue of the Bee Gees. And the way they continued to adapt and innovate through the decades. And those harmonies, my god, those harmonies!@@RockinEd
@@RockinEdno disrespect, but comparing Peter Noone to the Bee Gees it's like comparing Bobby Sherman to The Beatles
I appreciate all these bands. They paved the way for the 70s.
That acapella Beatles review by the Bee Gees made my week. Wow!
Excellent! Great show👏 I love and miss my 70’s. Bell Bottoms, Platforms and especially the guys beautiful long hair.
Yes, I had that long hair not so much now hanging on by a thread haha
Original Hollies lead singer, Allan Clarke, was literally weeks from rejoining the Hollies when this aired. He had left at the end of 1971. When he rejoined, their next two singles would end up being two of my favorite songs by the Hollies.
Yes, LCWiaBD and s much better with him.
Can't wait, The Midnight Special! I'm already giddy with anticipation at the thought of being able to see the entire episode with my wonderful Bee Gees hosting for the third time!
Hi LJ, I won't be home Friday night. I sure don't want to miss this. I'm going to try to watch on my phone. Wifi in rural southeast KS isn't the best, but hopefully....
Same here! Only, this will be my second time watching a full episode they hosted. Ever since this channel started uploading full episodes of TMS, I've been waiting for all of the ones that the Bee Gees hosted. I just love them so incredibly much and they had some hilarious moments on that show that I can't wait to see in the full episodes!
OMyGosh! This is like hitting the BeeGee lottery!😎....and could Robin be Any more Gorgeous!? .... I seriously think NOT!!!😍
I know, Gloria, and what an amazing show it was! And we finally got to see our precious Robin sing "I Can't See Nobody" from beginning to end. I totally wasn't expecting that to happen. What a wonderful surprise!
@@lauriebarnes2999 Welp, I haven't gotten that far yet in the program! I keep rewinding it back to some of the funny and new-to-me antics of the brothers when introducing the performering artists! Mo is Hysterical!..but so are his brothers, especially Barry,(of all people!?) in one segment when he smacks Mo to the ground and tells him to Shut Up!🤣 And I NEVER thought Barry was very funny, the twins were the clowns to me!, but Barry pleasantly Surprised me!!lol. Oh Gawd, I see it's going to take me forever to get thru this MS episode, but I'm fine with that,.. and Loving it in fact!!😍😎
One of the things I love about this show is that most of it was recorded live. That way, we get to see what a great guitarist Gerry of Gerry and the Pacemakers was and how the BeeGees could sing those beautiful harmonies live -- not just studio tricks.
This show was loaded with handsome men and romantic ~ songs, ooof what’s not to love?! Wish I was in the audience, was great to see the gorgeous pics of the Beatles (George is my fav) and the Bee Gees singing their songs. When I turned 16 my oldest brother by seven years Robert, was away in the Air Force & mailed me the Beatles “Love Songs” album. He passed away unexpectedly 3 months ago, the 1st sib of 4 kids to die, I’m the baby & he was my protector growing up, grief sucks 😪.
God Bless You KittyGrizGriz and may he grant you some Peace.
@@mikeh.7499Aww thank you for your kindness, very sweet☺️
That must be hard. I am the baby of a family of 6 children, who are luckily all still around... but we're not getting any younger.
@@gordonspond Yep, he moved far from home when he joined the Air Force right out of HS so we didn’t see each other a whole lot with work-family obligations. Best memory of him is when my mom and I flew to Hollywood, CA in ‘75 when I was 16 (from Tulsa, OK) to visit great aunt-uncle. Was like a family reunion with my grandma & aunt coming from Wyoming. Robert drove down from Nevada in his cool uncovered jeep and took us to the Griffith Observatory in LA., the J. Paul Getty Museum, the first showing of the movie Jaws at the theater, and the following morning, my 1st time seeing the beach/ocean @ Santa Monica Pier. I was so scared to get in the water but waded in up to my knees haha! He was very interesting-intellectually smart, with a very dry sense of humor like mine, he got his college degree in Anthropology. Miss him but treasure those fleeting memories, like gold.
Such great memories.😌
So great to see Wayne Fontana & The Mind benders, and The Hollies!!😊 The entire line up is fabulous!❤❤❤❤❤. The Bee Gees choice of Beatles songs is brilliant.
Another fantastic Midnight Special. The Bee Gees medley of Beatles songs was superb. Can’t wait for next week’s episode!
Johnny Rivers
The Bee-Gees Beatles Tribute is fabulous!
They sang it better than the Beatles.
The Beatles would be chuffed..I commend them for a brilliant performance.It was perfect.🍂
Didn't know that Gerry Marsden was such a good guitarist. What a show! 🎶
He was a very friendly down to earth guy as well. When I met him at a show in Niagara Falls and told him I had been at the original Cavern Club (they stupidly tore it down and built a new fake one) he gave me a huge hug. His voice never faltered either. Always stayed the same. At that time he had a couple of the surviving members of Badfinger as his back up band.
Wow, that Beatles segment was awesome!
Hermans Hermits were the soundtrack of my early childhood, riding bikes, swimming in the creek, listing to AM radio, reminds me of summer days. I have tried in vain to learn how to pick the opening to "Long Cool Woman", but this video has given me clues as to how it's done. I love all these love songs; the British Invasion was a wonderful time. The Bee Gees could host every episode, they are So good at it, and the Beatles medley carried me back to my bedroom, playing records on a mono turntable. Every week's episode makes me anxious to see next weeks.
I know what you mean with long cool woman
This is incredible! Can’t thank you enough! Enjoyed every minute and will be watching this again. Those Bee Gees were true entertainers. So fun to watch them just being brothers and then hearing their magic sound when they come together singing. This show is a real treasure for me! 🥰👏
I remember staying up to watch this in 4th grade, I still remember the Henry the 8th song
I have waited over 50 years for this. My family was camping that week, with no TV. I was upset, but Mom assured me they'd show it again. Months went by, so I wrote to NBC who told me that Midnight Specials never re-run. I was so devastated I never watched the show again. Not only that, I had to wait nearly a decade before I got to see the Searchers in person. I ended up seeing them several times during the 80s, 90s, and 00s.
Glad you can see it finally
Their two comeback LP’s on Sire were excellent, and “Love’s Melody”is such a great song! I’m surprised they didn’t do “Don’t Throw Your Love Away” on this show.
@@shave-a-thon3415 I got to see the Searchers several times over some 20 years, and we got to know each other very well. So much so, that for one gig, they pulled me up and had me sing with them.
I know what you mean, believe me.there were so many things that I loved growing up that I hadn't seen in decades, literally. Here's a silly example. There was a favorite movie that I wanted to record on VHS. ( before DVDs) though it was scheduled to come on however it got preempted.,WTH! ok, I figured the would just reschedule it for the next weekend. To which they didn't. I kept checking the TV guide every week for year after year. Finally, after twenty plus years I saw the commercial for it. I got my VCR already, and finally it came on. I couldn't believe it, after all this time, Finally I Got It!! Just then, The cable went out and the screen turned to snow. I was speechless! I only had a half an hour left to go. Eventually as I got older I found it on DVD. that's just one of many examples. In conclusion, I've always told myself, if I love something, it stays loved. and that goes for anything. if I love it, I will have it again however long it takes.
What a great TV show! What a treat and a program the entire family could enjoy. Way before my time. They surely don't make music like this anymore. The BeeGees covering The Beetles playlist🙌🏻
My family was not up at Midnight when I used to watch this show as a teenager.
We had this great show and great songs about love none were about devil Satan and crap dark themes songs without any redeeming qualities and no one harmonizes anymore guess they can't really sing today and certainly can't read music or play correctly anyone else's music the reason is they're not real musicians unless they can read sheets and they can't enough said. Put a lead sheet in front of 'em and they freak, and I've done it they can't hang or play pick up and join in with others. All musicians our generation can easily do it all that and more sing harmony play along read sheets and back up anyone do the studio pick up a part in another band fill in for another player we did that. Today they cannot quite cut it or don't know what it takes. We played and practiced all day and night they don't today and it's obvious sounds like no one cares to rehearse.
@@shauncusack2632that's the crazy thing about the Bee Gees though, even though they wrote and performed all these incredible songs, also did amazing covers of greats such as the Beatles, they Never learned how to read music!!! They have been writing songs and performing since they were 6 years old for the twins and 9 for Barry.
@@shauncusack2632discipline 😅
_'Ferry Cross the Mersey'._
*What a great song!*
The Bee Gees were forming into what we know of them today.
Rest in peace, both Robin and Maurice.
Yes, and Andy 😿
Sure wish they'd upload an Andy Gibb song.😔
This was one of the best shows they did in 1973. Thanks for replaying memories!
Need to bring back these type of shows. Friday nights in the 70's had lots of entertainment.
Wait, what? This is the spottiest episode I’ve ever seen. Even good bands with good songs sound awful. The BeeGees seem high and creatively floundering.
Most episodes have truly inspired moments that stand the test of time. Here? Yikes!
Stupendi video di grandi e apprezzati musicisti: ma i bee Gees sono a dir poco sublimi ,vedere Robin nello splendore dei suoi anni è un 'emozione e una delizia x il mio cuore!! Grande uomo ,musicista e garande amore x sempre nel mio cuore!!!❤❤❤👄👄👄🙏🙏
They were all great guys, with Mo & Barry more the musicians than Robin....or at least at this point.🎼
Thanks for sharing this it brings back good memories I was. 14 going on 15 in September of that year
Same here .
Love “Needles and Pins” by the Searchers, also their hit “Vahevala” originally recorded by Loggins & Messina.
My Mom loved that Hollies song, “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother.” Rest well, Mom. Really like these Midnight Special programs.
I love that song too❤. It's one of my favorite songs from the 1960s.
Yes, it’s heartbreakingly sad, reminds me of my 💜 marine son and his brothers-in-arms, combat veterans are very very close, forever…
@@KittyGrizGriz Yes, it’s a nice but heartbreaking sad song. I get very emotional listening to it now that my mom is gone.
@@abclib32 I’m sorry to hear your mom is gone and the song makes you sad, mine is gone too. My oldest brother died unexpectedly 3 months ago, 1st sib of 4 to go~I’m the baby & he was my protector growing up. Robert would put my youngest older brother Richard, “in his place” when he was mean to me. 💥 💥 💥 haha they would “fight like brothers”. Can’t listen now w/o 😪.
@@KittyGrizGriz Thanks so much. I offer my deepest condolences to you as well.
I am enjoying these so much.
I was 13 that year snd every week i couldnt wait to see who they had on the show, pretty cool looking back in time to the great music of that era.
Makes me feel alive!
Missed the earlier broadcast but watched it late at night/early morning. It was wonderful, of course. Loved the British reunion, but the BEST were my guys, The Bee Gee's!! ❤ Surprised not to see my girl Janice Trimmell on here, but I'm sure she'll show up! 😊
Diana, I had a tough few weeks. I couldn't see it this week, but I will definitely watch later when I can focus.
Another wonderful show. The unique thing about the Midnight Special was that there was something for everyone. Personally I loved the 50s-60s stuff but virtually all the music of these years were great.
Such a group collection
Wow! I was at this taping! Watching this, I’m looking for myself in the audience
Lucky you & let us know if you do!👍
@@kthor I’ve watched this a couple times now, I was sitting by the stage where Billy J Kramer and Wayne Fontana played their songs, I must have been just out of the camera shot or I might have been this guy with a blue shirt, but you really couldn’t see his face, wow! Over 50 years ago! Those were the days, I was in college then.
@@allanbluzdude Yep, I see you now!😁
Just tell us about Barry Gibb 😂
@@Melke.2024 I can tell you from the few encounters I had with them, Robin was definitely the most friendly towards their fans
Muy lindo el vídeo, no conocía este programa, me encanta ver a Robin Gibb presentando los cantantes, está muy feliz , era muy agradable y excelente vocalista!
Bee Gees greatest Forever ❤❤❤
ANOTHER GREAT SHOW!
Robin's voice rules!
Yes, Barry's does!👍
So much unbelievable musical talent on show in these episodes. For me, Robin Gibb's performance on "I Can't See Nobody" (58:46} was the highlight of this one. Keep 'em coming! 👏
Best odies ever
Finally had a chance to catch up and watch this episode today. Fantastic. So great to see “I can’t see Nobody” in its entirety at last..So Good!! Thank you for preserving these old episodes and continuing to share with all of us 👏🏼👍🏼
I came here to watch the extraordinary good looks of Barry Gibb ❤
Never been anyone like Barry Gibb....in every aspect as an entertainer & as a man!🥰
@@kthori think so ❤ with his perfect personality ❤️
Barry is extra 🔥 hot in that peekaboo shirt. I love all the brothers, especially Robin.💙❤️🩷
@@Slinkygal Yes, I love seeing Robin healthy and happy at this weight. I am one of those who do not like the falsetto period very much. I love the songs with Barry's strong voice and Robin's unique vibrato.
@@Melke.2024Loved all decades of their careers.....any voice Barry sang with was stunning & captivating!🥰
What an episode,,,wow
Outside of Bee Gees Hollies are head and shoulders above the other guests.
This was a fantastic show. So many great bands and songs. 👍👍👏❤
So much talent back then. WTH happened to us?
Wow! For the first time, I know all these songs! A little early childhood flashback episode! Looking forward to it! 😎🙌🎉
Classic
Weird to see the Bee Gees being relegated as an oldies act, when they were just on the verge of being the biggest band of the decade.
I'm waiting for every Bee Gees's moments. Thanks The Midnight Special channel.❤
SO AM I LOVE THE BEE GEES ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND MY FRIENDS
Enjoy
A kind of British Invasion episode, nice!
Super: Ferry Cross the Mersey. Original band. Love it.
Weak song…wimpy but of its time
The 60's was my teen era. A lot of fun groups. Gerry and the Pacemakers actually beat The Beatles being the first UK group to have their first three singles go to #1. One was a song The Beatles turned down "How do you do what you do to me".
The Bee Gees are my favorite group ever 😊
this Bee Gees and the 77 Bee Gees like two totally different bands
Adaptability was one of their strong points. It's what allowed them to continue making music, which is the only thing they ever wanted to do with their lives.
BRILLIANT.
THANK YOU .. 🙏👍
Our 60s faves hippyfied...and I'm 💯 here for it!!! ✌️❤️✌️🥰
That was a fantastic show! 🙌
Definitely far out, and we can dig it! ♥️✌️🎵
Glad to see this version of the Hollies. Terry Sylvester did a great job covering (the departed) Allan Clarke's vocal on "Long Cool Woman".
Yes! And Terry is sooo handsome here, ooof 😅. His hair is absolutely gorgeous too…
Best Bee Gees , Hollies & Allan Clarke, Beatles, Herman's Hermits
Ver Johnny Rivers cantando com as bak vocal foi demais ,pois so nos discos eu ouvia
Wonderful ! Thank you. ❤ 🖐 from Italy.
I can't wait to see "I Can't See Nobody" in high definition for the first time!
WOW THAT WAS GREAT SEEING AND HEARING THE BROTHERS SING TOGETHER AGAIN I LOVE THIS SONG I Can't See Nobody BARRY I LOVE YOU
I better not see any negative comments about The Midnight Special … I will come for you
Don't think there will be any negative comments. They were amazing shows and often put together performers you would never expect! 😁
Ha ha, I'm sure you're still very comfortable in your seat!
It mostly sucked. Too much pop music.
@@nathandodge665 Can you give some examples? Pop music is short for popular music, so it doesn't tell me much.
Fantastic!
I wish they fix that sound error when the Bee Gees sing “Turn Of The Century”
Man the Hollies could play....
Robin just knocking it out the park on the Beatles medley!! Actually they all 3 sound Sooo good, but Robin clearly is leading out here!!!😎
The vibrato in his voice really stood out. Something The Beatles...pretty much every group....lacked. It was beautiful in "This Boy" in particular.
@@susieq9801 Yessssss!!!! #OMG😍 Robin just knocks you cold out on 'This Boy'!!! Gorgeous voice, Gorgeous man, just so, Sooo Gorgeous!!!😎...(Okay, let me TRY to STOP myself now!😜)
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 I finally had a chance to watch this!! The whole show was fantastic, especially the Bee Gees😍I think anyone watching this would have assumed that Robin was the lead singer! What a treat for those of us who love Robin!!!! And yes, he was so gorgeous I can hardly stand it ❤
@@ellenmontgomery8533 Good to hear from you, Ellen! It's been a while and I was kinda wondering if you were doing Okay these days!😉
It's kind of Amazing that we both discovered ole Robin at about the exact same time, and that once Robin has you under his spell there is NO breaking loose, and your interest Never Ever fades even a Bit!!?😜😍😎
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 -When did you guys make your "discovery"? I did in 1967!
Thanks for share, waiting for next episodes
So Nice to watch!!!!!❤❤
The most awesome episode ever❤❤❤
Pra mim o melhor Episódio até hoje ! Obrigado pela postagem !
Episode 37 is when The Bee Gees host The Midnight Special.
Anyone notice that they all can actually sing!! They're not lip syncing, there is no autotune and fancy tricks. They don't sound completely different live than on rocoding.
Robib voice incredible
The Hollies "Romany" is a great album!!
Around this time (mid 70's) there was a British Invasion tour going around the U.S. The one that came to my town then had Herman's Hermits, Wayne Fontana, Gerry & The Pacemakers, The Searchers, Billy J Kramer, and Freddie & The Dreamers. I won tickets to the show on a local radio station but I never went to the show! None of my friends wanted to go to listen to "that old stuff" and I didn't want to go alone, so I never went.
The tour was poorly received. The Searchers did a cover of Neil Young’s “Southern Man” for some unknown reason. Seeing them without the suits and all that hair doesn’t seem right.
@@moorlock2003 I know they played Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens , don't know how well it did in Toronto .I was 14 and wanted to go , but was leaving for Europe with my mom .
Herman sure enjoyed performing...for decades too. A classy episode.
he's still performing.
He didn't look to happy to be singing "Mrs Brown." He did a lot of mugging.
The BEST 🎶 The Game of Love
A young Jeff Hyman probably watched this episode in Forest Hills a few years before he became Joey Ramone and paid tribute to Herman's Hermits in The Ramones' song Judy is a Punk. "Second verse...same as the first.". There you have it...some of the roots of punk rock, right here. 🎸
And The Ramones also do a fantastic cover of "Needles and Pins"..
The next episode after this from August 17, 1973, looks good as well. The host was Richard Pryor, and it included appearances from Electric Light Orchestra, Joe Hicks, Doug Kershaw, Albert King, Melissa Manchester, and Joe Walsh.
Excellent show, but at 27:47, Wolfman is talking about the 60s like it was decades ago, but 1968 was only 5 years before. I do love these episodes finally being loaded where we can see them. Can't wait to get to the later 70s when I actually watched the shows live.
Danke!
The Midnight Special, I'm so happy with "I Can't See Nobody". I so misunderstood what was going to happen on Robin's amazing song. I always assumed that they sang the show out with the credits rolling. I'm just so excited right now and I'll be listening to it over and over and over again! Is there a possibility that you will release "I Can't See Nobody" as a separate video? I would just love it if you could! Thanks for all the amazing shows you shared with us already and I'm definitely looking forward to each and every Friday for the next episode to air. Thank you.
They already have released that one as a separate video fwiw. It's a shame they're lip-syncing that one, for whatever reason, when the rest of the show is live.
czcams.com/video/4QT7JPNe7Xw/video.html
@@thesloppyfirst off, they weren't lip synching anything and secondly, they have NOT released just that song as a standalone clip.
@@psychedelic.dreamer You're right, I mixed up that clip, my mistake. That being said, you could argue they were singing over the record, but the record-perfect strings and harpsichord certainly weren't coming out of their unplugged guitars.
@@thesloppy - The groups sometimes used music back tracks but the singing had to be live. That was a rule of the show.
@@thesloppy The thing is by that time the Bee Gees were just the three of them, no permanent drummer, no lead guitarist, no keyboardist. And certainly no orchestra behind them. So, it had to be them singing over the record. But when they did the medley their voices were perfect.
The Bee Gees benefit from being related. Family groups that sing really sound extraordinary.
Seems like Burt Sugarman loved the Bee Gees, but more so when they transitioned to their funk of the mid to late 1970s, including Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin' and anything on their Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack.
29:48 Dig the guy in the Lambda Chi Alpha T-shirt! I was asked to join that frat in college; I didn't.
Hey! If you filter the comments to "newest", there's a person named @ezmacmusic2979 who says he's that guy! :D
28:58 How can we make a creepy song even creepier?
비지스 짱
I was never saw this 👀😳😱
Needles&Pins, underated in it's influence.
Another fantastic show. Just wished it was hosted by Gerry and the Pacemakers but all the same. Great show with lots of 60s nostalgia. Thank you Midnight Special for another great episode.
