Robin-John, Robin's son has been quoted as saying this after he died: ""One of my favourite Bee Gee songs, 'I Started A Joke,' has the line: 'I finally died, which started the whole world living,' and I played it on my phone, put it on Dad's chest and we sat together," he told the paper. "I'd tried to hold it all in until then but that's when I bawled like a baby.""
Well said! What an amazing song and performance!🎶💜 "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", "Words", "I've just got to Get a Message to You", "Massachusetts" "To Love Somebody", "Holiday" and "Run to Me" are just a few beautiful songs from the early Bee Gees, which is the era of the Bee Gees that this song came from.
Hi Shawn, The studio versions of the songs are great but you also mentioned being interested in live performances. You may have posted the cream of the crop with that version of "I Started a Joke" but here is a link to a good live performance of "Words" from the same concert. ua-cam.com/video/pkqwRC23HN8/v-deo.htmlsi=l_TUnFztb98FHI8J
One of Robin's best vocals, in my opinion, is For Whom the Bell Tolls. Everything he sang was beautiful, but for me, that's a stand out (the video with New York City in the background). My favorite Bee Gees song is Fanny, Be Tender with My Love. You won't find a live video of that song, just a studio video version. Because the song was so complicated and layered, they never did it live. My favorite. Your reactions are all so heartfelt. Thank you for appreciating the Bee Gees.
Shawn... Check out a particular music video Robin did late in his life... the song "Ellan Vallin" with the King William's College Choir. It was done on the Isle of Man, where Robin, his twin Maurice, and their older brother Barry, were born. The video starts inside a magnificent chapel, and goes on to show scenes of the island's beauty... its wild coastline and green hills... all to Robin singing this unofficial anthem of the island with the striking, fresh accompaniment of the young people's voices and the light of their shining faces. Exquisite and stirring! Robin's gift is so unique, ethereal, and timeless, and his vulnerability is so moving, especially paired with relatable lyrics such as these in the song "I Started A Joke" and other Bee Gees songs. Robin leads on my favorite of the early songs... "Massachusetts."
Robin did lead or dual lead on many songs before and after "the fever" era. It was only a couple years there that Barry dominated because the falsetto sound was getting them lots of hits. Mo does a fair amount of leads too (usually 1 or 2 per album). My favorite Robin lead is, well I have to break it down.... for a fast-paced song I like "Fallen Angel" or "I've Got To Learn", and for a softer ballad I like "And The Sun Will Shine" or "Don't Fall In Love With Me". If you want to hear a Mo lead, try "Man in the Middle" or "Lay it On Me". Thanks for the reaction - always love the Bee Gees!
Thanks for the heartfelt reaction Shawn!! Early Bee Gees songs to put on your list? How about "Words", "Lonely Days", "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart", "Run To Me", "To Love Somebody", "Holiday", and "I've Gotta Get A Message To You"! Enjoy the ride!!!
Great song! Robin had a great voice and sang lead on a lot of the early songs. Later it was more common for Barry to sing lead. I remember seeing them as guests on TV talk shows where they would sometimes do one or two songs live, sitting on a couch or chairs accompanying themselves with just acoustic guitars and sounding great!
I agree, Shawn. It's one of my favorite Bee Gees' tracks, too. Another early beauty is 1967's "To Love Somebody." You'll likely grab a televised performance, which I know you will love. 👍
This is the song that captivated me at the age of 9. I heard that beautiful voice and couldn't get enough. Been a BeeGees fan especially Robin since 1969. Another song you might want to check out is And the Sun Will Shine. Its breathtaking
Words Massachusetts Too Much Heaven Got To Get A Message To You Immortality (f/Céline Dion) Woman In Love (f/Barbra Streisand) Because of one iconic soundtrack (Saturday Night Fever), the Bee Gees are sometimes thought of as "disco". And they did do disco brilliantly. But they were so much more. I'm with Shawn on I Started A Joke being one of my favourites by the Gibbs. The One Night Only concert recording was something else...
From that same One Night Only concert,they did a tribute to their little brother Andy who died at age 30,and was so talented an award winning singer was heart warming The song that rhe brothers wrote for Andy was "Our Love ,Don't Throw it all away," So Beautiful.
This is a fantastic performance great song The Bee Gees are great during every era but there’s something about the early Bee Gees songs like this one that just get to you
This song carried me through my life, starting in my adolescent years. I'm 68 now and I survived life with two parents and one sibling that wasn't at all like me. I was into the 60's movement, .... I was into peace, love and understanding.... love everyone as your brother/sister... be kind and gentle to all people and all forms of life. They were judgmental, revengeful and hating. So when Robin sings of doing one thing and everyone else reacting in the totally opposite manner, he was indeed talking about me and my family and from the first time I heard this song, it became my favorite. It let me believe and know that I wasn't the only one. It kept me hanging on in hope...and I made it. Thank you, Shawn for taking us back to visit a beautiful soul and his beautiful music. Take care and be well. Peace.
I’m 70, so the late ‘60’s era is when I was introduced to The Bee Gees. I love all their music, but those early songs are still among my favorites. Early live performances of To Love Somebody, I’ve Gotta Get A Message To You, and I Started A Joke being my favs❤️
Right there with you, I'll be 71 this month! And to THINK that The Bee Gees came out (this album) right on the heels of both Sgt. Pepper's, AND the incredible worldwide live release of "All You Need is Love"! IMO, the Bee Gees stood out as on BEATLE level, in terms of musical and songwriting talent! Just astounding at the time. WHAT A SUMMER THAT WAS, huh?
Love the Bee Gees' early music especially 60's-70's. You are hearing Robin Gibb's voice in this song "I Started A Joke" from 1968. He also sang lead on "Massachusetts", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" etc. Some of their other early hits were "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "To Love Somebody", "Holiday", "World", "And The Sun Will Shine", "Really & Sincerely", "Words", "The Singer Sang His Song", ""Lonely Days", "Melody Fair", "First Of May", "Give Your Best", "Lamplight" etc.
Thank you for listening to this favorite of mine. Another early one that Robin sings is I CAN’T SEE NOBODY. I get the same intense feelings from listening to this one too.
As much as I love Barry's voice, I'd have to say Robin is my fave. Could you sometime pls react to the video version of For Whom the Bell Tolls (I know you've done the studio version). 💚🎵🎶 Alone and You Win Again are 2 more great songs from the bros.
What a beautiful reaction this was Shawn… others have listed lots of their great songs… I’m going to mention one that is from the same concert that was a tribute to their brother Andy. It’s very emotional. It’s “Our love (don’t throw it all away”) Here’s the link…Thanks for another excellent reaction! ua-cam.com/video/-XKPU1MHASU/v-deo.htmlsi=1JJWDEpmifZXKsFG
The early Bee Gees are some of the best. This song did help me thru some dark times in my youth. I would cry to it and pour out all the pain you were feeling.
Robin's voice was astounding. Great reaction bro. ✊ I strongly recommend you watch the Bee Gees songs "Spicks and Specks". It's the black & white live performance with "preview only" written on the screen. You probably couldn't do a reaction to it (for copyright reasons) but you have to see it. It's very early Bee Gees, and it still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Dec 5th 1975 was the date of (what i believe to be) the best medley they ever performed , They were famous for their medley's, but this one is the daddy of them all. They performed it on TV show "Midnight Special". Good luck. 👍
3 of my favorites. This song and " Words (Live in Las Vegas, 1997 - One Night Only) ua-cam.com/video/pkqwRC23HN8/v-deo.html and Lay It on Me - Bee Gees | The Midnight Special ua-cam.com/video/7ZX1Rm6GVFM/v-deo.html
I used to think the Bee Gees were a guilty pleasure of mine, but years later I became totally unashamed to say I loved their early songs. (I could do without the disco era stuff.) When I was invited to play at a reunion of the old coffee house where I got my performing start, I started learning a lot of these songs to do as a solo. The one I chose for my set was Words, which I think is the most beautiful, but I could have done this one, or Massachusetts, or How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, or I've Gotta Get A Message To You, or Run To Me, or To Love Somebody. So many wonderful earlier songs. They had an innocence and a rawness the later songs didn't have. I just love singing them all, too.
I just loved their early songs. Pre-falsetto. Massachusetts, How To Mend A Broken Heart, Fannie Be Tender With My Love, To Love Somebody, Lonely Days, More Than A Woman, Run To Me, Lonely Days.
Thanks, Shawn - OMG - ROBIN.. don't care... aged 18 or whatever he is here.. such a beautiful and unique voice... another great one featuring Robin is "Massachusetts".. there are great live versions, but one of the best is the BG's on the Johnny Carson show... (check out Maurice clowning...trying to crack up his twin... b/c his part was only background vocals and he seemed bored... he never did get enough credit for everything he did.. bass, keys, as well as voice -lol) ua-cam.com/video/xF78_zIKTcY/v-deo.html
Great song, great reaction. As mentioned before, there are lots of good ones. My time goes back to the early Bee Gees, and my favorite is "I've Gotta Get a Message To You". Here's a studio version: ua-cam.com/video/vf5XkUuZaL8/v-deo.html Thanks, and God bless you.
Sorry, man, but the best way you can make me close your video is to choose a live performance. With very rare exception they are inferior to the studio cuts. Thanks for most of the other stuff you do -- you have checked out a lot of stuff nobody else was looking at until you did it, and then suddenly 6 more guys do the same songs. 😆
That was incredible! I never heard this live before and it brought tears to my eyes. When it was out, I heard it on the radio, and it never hit me like this! Thank you, Shawn, for turning us on to this! My favorite Bee Gees song is “You Should Be Dancing.”

Robin was a loner and felt people didn't understand him. This is song is primarily his creation. "I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said". I'm sure many of us tossed and turned from saying the wrong thing or being misunderstood. Laugh when others cried. Cry when others laughed. Robin always got a standing "O" for this song and vocal. His voice was unique in pop music. The 1989 performance (Melbourne All for one tour) is the best IMO. The original video shows fun house mirrors and distorted human shapes. Are we seen as we really are or distorted? How about "Bodyguard", "Country lanes", "Fallen angel", "I can't see nobody, "When he's gone" for some of Robin's leads?
"Alone" is one of my favorite "newer" Bee Gees songs. But, keep those Robin Gibb leads. Silly, but this always brought to mind Adolph H. for some reason. Studying too much WW II history at the time.
This is a fun one to watch. I don't mean you should react to it, but just to watch to see them when they were so young. Barry was 17, Robin and Maurice were 14. ua-cam.com/video/WGQj0kdjPJc/v-deo.html
Love the Bee Gees. This song is one of Robins signature songs, and i heard something on the internet that wnen he died his son put a recording on his chest, and then he just broke down. It's so sad that such talent is gone. Robin and Mourice are gone now. And Barry is all alone. How ironic that they have a song called Alone, and Barry sings the part where he sings, and i don't wanna be alone. And now hes the one thats alone. 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Shawn, the 1997 concert dvd this performance is from, “Bee Gees- One Night Only”, is phenomenal and one of my all time favorites. It is unusual when I consider a live version to be as good as the studio version of songs. In the case of this concert, I not only like all the songs as much, I actually prefer some of them over the studio versions. They play all their hits and are at the top of their game. I can’t recommend the dvd enough. 🙂
@@susieq9801 i’ll have to check that one out. One thing I do like about the one night only DVD though, is that the sound is in Dolby Digital 5.1 , which I’m pretty sure is a better version than the older concert, since it came out 8 years earlier
@@gesundheit602 - They were younger and perhaps at their peak and the concert just seemed so much more energetic and their rapport was better. They really seemed to be enjoying themselves and each other.
There's a lot of their songs that are favorits, but a couple that you need to hear is For Whom The Bell Tolls, and You Win Again, and Blame It On Broadway.
Great song.Other fantastic tunes by The Brothers Gibb are Massachusetts, To Love Sonebody, and 1941 NY Mining Disaster!Robin sounded as good here as he did on the original recording!
Robin-John, Robin's son has been quoted as saying this after he died: ""One of my favourite Bee Gee songs, 'I Started A Joke,' has the line: 'I finally died, which started the whole world living,' and I played it on my phone, put it on Dad's chest and we sat together," he told the paper.

Robin leads on my favorite of the early songs... "Massachusetts."
Early 70's Bee Gees "run to me" is a great song. As much as I enjoyed Barry's vocals, I think Robin's vocals were so powerful.

Great song, I would recommend their 70's hit "Fanny be Tender". It is just awesome.
one of the most beautiful voices ever.

My favorite Bee Gee's songs, Robin sings lead on. He did lead on several early tunes.
Also on many tunes after "disco".
Fantastic emotional reaction to some iconic music! I love just about EVERYTHING they ever did, but their early years are special!!!!
You should listen to MAN IN THE MIDDLE by THE BeeGees featuring Maurice Gibb.
❤❤❤❤ Sempre que assisto essa banda incrível, me emociono muito em especial Robin, que é meu Bee Gees favorito. Lindíssima canção ❤❤❤❤🇧🇷😍👍✨✨🇧🇷🥰👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

From that same
One Night Only concert,they did a tribute to their little brother Andy who died at age 30,and was so talented an award winning singer was heart warming
The song that rhe brothers wrote for Andy was "Our Love ,Don't Throw it all away," So Beautiful.
Barry wrote Andy's big. hit with him too I Just Want to Be Your Everything.
Both beautiful songs & written by Barry!❤️
What a gorgeous and moving performance...love this song and loved your reaction💙
A BEAUTIFUL performance 😊
This is a fantastic performance great song The Bee Gees are great during every era but there’s something about the early Bee Gees songs like this one that just get to you
Anything from this concert/album is excellent ❤
I think the "One for all" concert in Melbourne in 1989 is FAR superior but this one sadly is better known.
This song carried me through my life, starting in my adolescent years. I'm 68 now and I survived life with two parents and one sibling that wasn't at all like me. I was into the 60's movement, .... I was into peace, love and understanding.... love everyone as your brother/sister... be kind and gentle to all people and all forms of life. They were judgmental, revengeful and hating.

Robin was a loner and felt people didn't understand him. This is song is primarily his creation. "I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said". I'm sure many of us tossed and turned from saying the wrong thing or being misunderstood. Laugh when others cried. Cry when others laughed. Robin always got a standing "O" for this song and vocal.

How about "Bodyguard", "Country lanes", "Fallen angel", "I can't see nobody, "When he's gone" for some of Robin's leads?
"Alone" is one of my favorite "newer" Bee Gees songs. But, keep those Robin Gibb leads. Silly, but this always brought to mind Adolph H. for some reason. Studying too much WW II history at the time.

I was a big fan of the pre-disco era Bee-Gees.
Loved all eras of the Bee Gees!
Every time i hear this song sung by Robin i bawl my eyes out, brilliant group no one can ever sing like them ever.
This is WHY I love the videos so much better when you see the artists passion. So real.
Robin got the melody for this song from the sound of a jet engine. Pretty cool finding out where songs are born.
Check out the movie The fighter with Christian Bale, the part where he and his mother are singing the song together great performance great actors
Love the Bee Gees. This song is one of Robins signature songs, and i heard something on the internet that wnen he died his son put a recording on his chest, and then he just broke down. It's so sad that such talent is gone. Robin and Mourice are gone now. And Barry is all alone. How ironic that they have a song called Alone, and Barry sings the part where he sings, and i don't wanna be alone. And now hes the one thats alone. 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Pretty sure Robin sings that part. :) Yes, very sad for Barry to have lost all his brothers.
😊😊😊😊
There are beautiful God bless all the BeeGee songs ❤
Try to find a copy of the whole concert “One Night Only”it’s amazing they do just about every song they ever recorded, perfect!!!
I think the "One for all" concert in Melbourne 1989 is far superior, especially the medley. "One night only" was flat for me.

I think the 1989 "One for all" show in Melbourne is far superior if you haven't seen it. That medley especially is amazing.
@@susieq9801 i’ll have to check that one out. One thing I do like about the one night only DVD though, is that the sound is in Dolby Digital 5.1 , which I’m pretty sure is a better version than the older concert, since it came out 8 years earlier
@@gesundheit602 - They were younger and perhaps at their peak and the concert just seemed so much more energetic and their rapport was better. They really seemed to be enjoying themselves and each other.

There's a lot of their songs that are favorits, but a couple that you need to hear is For Whom The Bell Tolls, and You Win Again, and Blame It On Broadway.
Nights on Broadway? I think that's what you meant. Yes, highly recommended - Midnight Special version
Great song.Other fantastic tunes by The Brothers Gibb are Massachusetts, To Love Sonebody, and 1941 NY Mining Disaster!Robin sounded as good here as he did on the original recording!
