- 5 March 2019, Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, String Theory Tour
Gig 4/4 last night of my String Theory tour and lord were we spoiled rotten with this unique treat from the guys.
Since the announcement of this milestone event for our little indie band we all hoped they would reenact their famous harmonic 1997 a cappella performance of ‘MMMBop’ under the natural acoustics of the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall architecture. I’d be surprised if they didn’t film exactly that for Members Only content later, but as the single only encore on this incredibly special world tour they instead performed my absolute favourite cover tribute they’ve ever done, ‘Too Much Heaven’ by the BeeGees.
I’ve always envied their microphone-free concert hall acoustics a cappella performances of other songs over time around the world on UA-cam so to get to hear this song at this venue on this epic symphonic tour with my own two ears in the most incredible seats I could have asked for, it’s no exaggeration to say that this is now my most treasured memory and possession. I just wish the video could do it justice.
It’s so sad that these guys got lumped in with boy bands. These guys are actual musicians. They just happened to be young and cute. They don’t get nearly enough respect
Blame their record label at the time. Everytime they sent it songs, they were rejected.. because the company *wanted* them to sound more "pop" than *ROCK.*
@@rvpstudioscanada3991 that’s awful. What a disservice to them.
I don't think being considered a boy band is a bad thing. There are lots of talented people in the music industry. However, many artists will tell you that talent comes second to branding/marketing. Lots of singers can play instruments, but it's just not part of their public image.
They’re doing just fine
Simple reason - Hanson’s did not ‘sign’ the “I” or let’s say did not sell their souls to the devil😬
I never understood why people went crazy with the Jonas Brother, when the Hansons are a trio that not only are Handsome but also have a real talent for creating and playing good music.
I would think it’s partially to do with timing... Hanson came out way before the social media age
I'm not a hater, I don't like putting energy into what I don't like, I prefer to put energy into what I love. But yeah, I find the Jonas Brothers being compared to Hanson a bit awkward. There's simply no comparison except being brothers. Not that I don't have plenty of 'guilty pleasures' myself, I just cringe when comparisons are made when the there is a gaping void between the talent and credibility of the two bands. Much love to the Jonas Brothers, but they should feel very flattered to be put anywhere near Hanson.
Lissa FaO I was lucky to see the boys perform in Oklahoma City when they were kids. So talented then as they are now.
@@ReeseGegax Don't remember ever saying pop is a dirty word. The majority of my favourite music is pop music, including Hanson. So this is a totally moot point. The Jonas Brothers lack Hanson's talent and that's a fact. No person with basic musical knowledge would disagree. But like I said above, I'm not interested in hating on things and I certainly never claimed pop music is automatically poorer because of its genre. My music library says quite the contrary, not to mention not all the music I love would be classified as 'high talent.'
Can't compare the two Hanson wrote there own songs from day one lolz
Great performance. Kudos to the audience for not saying a peep during it and respecting the moment.
I respect all kinds or singing groups. However, when you can unplug the gear and still perform without mics, amps, autotune, or additional background singers, I have a higher respect for you as an artist. Well done, gentlemen! 🎙🎙🎙👑👑👑🔥🔥🔥👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I’m so glad I started recording as soon as the bows started, thrilled to have captured the whole lot!
Thank u!! They have never been to South Africa, hope they eventually make it here
@@renejupp That would be so awesome!
nicolethompson11 I was supposed to see them in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA) with my Aunt but she was unable to go and none of my other friends grew up listening to Hanson so I decided to not get tickets. I appreciate these videos so I can see what I missed ❤️
Thanks for sharing 🙂👍
Thank you so much
The fact it was recorded on a phone without audio editing... They sound fantastic
As a singer I wanna say how stupid hard that is. All the transitions, all the stops and starts locked and forget modulating in a music vacuum. Never knew too much about Hanson....only because it wasn't my thing. But talent (and a crap ton of hard work!) will always shine. And these guys are amazing! Peace...
YESS. For sure.
Stupid hard!
your comment is useless, just appreciate that, enough
Wow! That's amazing! 👏
Vocally Hanson are extremely underrated but I think that’s because they never gained as much exposure as they should have, post the childhood success phase. That’s partly through choice tho, they’ve sort of kept on the down low for years. it’s their 30th anniversary soon and they’re still only in very early middle age. If the Rolling Stones are the benchmark for longevity there’s a lot of time left!
Incredible version. Love that they recognized The Bee Gees as the original “3 brothers”
2 modulations. Perfect 3-part harmony. A cappella. Holy god these guys are so freaking good.
What is a modulation?.
@@mercuryfever392 Changing the key during a song, usually going up to a higher key.
great
Wow! They do have talent. It takes balls to do a cappella, and a Bee Gees' tune to boot. Well done.
Yeah I know I keep waiting for Barry's opinion
I’m sure he’d be impressed and flattered.
Flattered for sure but, there is no comparison to the Bee Gees not even close.
I agree completely. BeeGees rule on this song but Hanson did very well.
...in Australia, of all places! Amazing performance.
I don't think they get enough credit for how good of singers they are
Singer myself, and damn, this is impressive . Got the pitch from that single piano note before he walks over, they stay locked in tempo wise , nail the harmonies AND 2 modulations . I remember when these cats came out and all the guff they got , but me and my jaded musicians friends all said "That's one catchy , well written song . These kids are legit." I am glad they stayed active all this time and still have enough draw to do shows like this, they deserve it. That's nothing but hard work and talent up there.
Another thing about Mmm-Bop is that it was written by 10, 12 and 14 year old kids. The songs by other boy bands were written by veteran industry songsmiths yet the pre-pubescents said a LOT more in their song than any of the hits by NKOTB and their stripe. Mmm-Bop won't win a Pulitzer for its lyrical content but was far deeper than its competition.
Well written? HAHAHAHA.
Very well said, brother
I'm going to agree with you 100% on your every word sir.
It's an amazingly written song. Have you ever paid attention to the lyrics?! For 3 children to write that is way rad. These guys are impeccable writers, producers, musicians 🤌@@susiepittman601
A song written by one brother band and brought back by another. This is beautiful. The BeeGees and Hansen are totally my guilty pleasures. Both are criminally underrated.
You know you're listening to real legends when everyone was soo quiet while they were performing.
just makes me appreciate the Bee Gees talent even more....
Falsetto is hard for most men.
John Travolta in Grease was good
Boys to men did
Ever fall in love
Sam Ryder has an angelic voice
Never Enough
Tiny Riot orchestral version
ya this is aweful ruined a great song
@@lg103not even close lol
@@lg103 Idiot.
@@Rackelmcandfamilly Another idiot.
You just gotta love familial harmony. There really is nothing that comes close. Nice to see these guys are still out there. Well done gentlemen!
I grew up in a church where we were all somewhat related, all my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. We could all read music, and the choir sang four part harmony, and it was ON POINT, lol. Thought all churches were like that. Wasn’t til I got out and about that I realized how special it was.
Me: Nobody can ever do justice to the Bee Gees, not in a million....
* WATCHED THIS *
Me: Imma shut my big mouth now...
If Barry Gibb has watched this, I will tell him that he and his brothers have not only altered the course of music history, but also have heavily influenced the next generation. These guys didn't imitate, as most other artists try to do, instead, they honored.
I think if Sir Barry Gibb saw this, he would have loved it
no falsetto voice like the Bee Gees in that performance. Very interesting.
Check out this tribute to Barry Gibbs by Pentatonix singing Too Much Heaven! It is incredible 😊facebook.com/halzen/videos/10158806933280554/
@@kristagerry8505 Thanks Krista, just watched it. Beautiful!!
@@emilygraham9968 it is😊 and they are just incredible as a group!
People mocked them, and still do, but they were always sooooo talented. Thank you for capturing this!
Seriously, I LOVED that first CD...but I really thought they would be another "One Hit Wonder" band. And boy, am I ever SO GLAD, I was ever SO WRONG about them.
They were unconventional. Homeskooled, not part of the Disney/hellywood crowd, and Christian . But I liked them .
Ho
I feel like their fans get mocked more than they do and fans are the ones *paying* for it
their first hit was so silly and ridiculous it was a bad choice for longevity this is the first ive heard of them since then tbh and now i wonder why they aren't better known as they clearly weren't a one or two hit wonder!
I always get teary when I hear the Gibbs sing it, but these boys did it. Hanson was so underrated...still are. Amazing singers! My heart.
That's a blessing in disguise. They stayed close and together and got to keep it about the music. They are still doing what they love and make a good living from it. Balance.
I'm from the Bee Gees era , MY love was their younger brother Andy!! The Hanson Brothers did them proud 👏
Suddenly my 34 year old self wants to put their faces all over my walls, pillow case and coffee mug again 😂
I'm 43, I had them on my wall when I was 20 lol - I swear I'm not creepy lol
My 55 year old self wants to do the same.
Same. And I'm 57. 😅
🤣
I'm 36 and I still have bankers box's of all the magazines and posters and I had on my bedroom walls. I'm not creepy either.
I'm glad their career has a second life. They really are talented.
WOW... when singers do acapella this beautifully you know you should be appreciating & respecting their vocals way more. TY Hanson Brothers.
Wow. The acoustics in that place really are outstanding and theyre are so masterful at blending their voices after being together for literally 40 years 😆
And the 2 key changes at the end was so freakin impressive.
Crazy impressive!
Yep! Awesome!
Very impressive!!!
All I knew about Hanson was Mmmm Bop, a lifetime ago. As a lifetime Bee Gees fan, this impressed the hell out of me! Thank you for capturing this!
WOW! Takes big cahonies to cover a Bee Gees song and kick some ass! Totally awesome performance, especially the key changes at the end! 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
Goodness. It NEVER gets old! This is probably my favorite cover they have ever done and I LOVE that they took advantage of the opportunity to perform it in the Sydney Opera House!
Thank you for posting this, and to the concert goers, THANK YOU FOR NOT SCREAMING OR MAKING STUPID NOISES. This was BEAUTIFUL!!! Especially since there's only one Gibb brother left.
Fansons have grown up. 😍👏💝
@@gerrymoore9111Yes they have!! AND they are all married now. Isaac, who is 38, and his wife were married in 2006, and have 3 kids, Taylor, got married in 2002, is now 35, and with his wife have 6 kids. Lastly, Zac, also got married in 2006, and with his wife have 4 kids!! That is 13 kids between the 3 brothers. Between raising their kids and touring, they are just as good as they were the day MmmBop hit the radio. I love these guys and I'm old enough to be their mother!
Yes! Kudos to the crowd. This was stunning!
I don't think that could have happened here in the states.
Audience was all ears when they started singing.
👌🏼👁👂🏼
They were respectul of the performance! Kudos to then ! :)
As a singer myself, that is hard to do. They never wavered for a second. Impressive!
It's not easy, but it's not hard either. If 3 brothers can sing, then they will naturally harmonize with one another. It's almost impossible not to.
Took my daughters to see them when they were kids. What a joy to see them grow into this. They are such talented n nice, genuine humans 🎶 great rendition .
True talent and training. Rare.
Unbelievably brave rendition. Only ( talented) siblings can have this effortless harmony. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful. Kudos to the crowd for allowing this little bit of magic to happen. Bravo
Indeed it is. I'm a lifelong Bee Gees fan and I deeply appreciate this rendition.
@@squishmastah4682 I think they've done so well with every cover no matter how they did it but this one speaks so much..."Zac you're the best" lol
so true
I was just explaining to my brother in law that you could tell the difference between a group that naturally harmonizes and a group that is trained how to harmonize and Hanson is a group that can just naturally harmonize with each other. It’s so smooth.
Saying it’s “effortless” is actually negating all the hard work they put in to sound like that. Trust me, there are decades of effort that go into talent like that. I’m sure they work hard.
That was so damn good! They did the BEE GEES proud singing it completely stripped down. Amazing
They are so unrated they can sing anything and it sounds beautiful
Hey I am a Heavy Metal guy! The HANSON Brothers were way beyond their years! So much talent here should still be packing arenas!
Hanson are hardly heavy metal
@@adrianrickards27 lol what I was saying I am a heavy metal guy BUT have a lot of respect for this band!
I remember I attended a Hanson concert back in 1998 at the Key Arena in Seattle... at the same time, Metallica was performing at a neighboring venue. The Metallica fans were yelling insults at the people heading to the Hanson concert, making fun of them, stealing their homemade signs and tearing them up, it was so sad. Now as an adult, it makes me wonder what the band members of Metallica would have thought of that behavior.
They play smaller venues now. I’ve been to 10 or more Hanson concerts and they have all been packed. Many fans who grew up with this band, and have listened since the 90’s, have stuck by Hanson. I’ve loved them since age 11. I bought both their pre-fame albums a long time ago and have never regretted paying $325. They were amazing then, and they’ve only aged like fine wine.
@@ambrosiamorrisss5531 They are musicians with a wide variety of tastes, they wouldve thought the people conducting themselves like that were a##holes. The majority of their fans respect talent. I am a fan and I listen to everything fro film scores to country to hard rock.
Bee Gees music needs to live on, it is great!!
Hanson brothers did it justice. Thank you
LOL YUCK !!!!!! ING
Are you deaf? That cover is a crap lol.
Just no one on earth DOES it as well the Bee Gees! guess I can't ask for miracles twice in a century!
They are doing it very well as HANSON. NO ONE will EVER compare to the Bee Gees. Their sound is totally their own.
These men are talented and did well in their voice range. No instruments other than their voices, beautifully done.
No they didn't they suck not even close to good at all and no where close to the Bee Gees at all
The Hanson’s have always been under rated. They have amazing voices and a lot of talent. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As a musician I never doubted their talent from the beginning, even when everyone pigeonholed them as nothing more than a pretty boy group. It took maturing into handsome and talented young gentlemen and lots of live touring to convince the world that they're the real deal. This, however, is mindblowing, even compared to everything else I've seen from them. Never seen this video before and it only got randomly recommended to me by UA-cam today. Played it three times so far.
Thank you, Nicole, for capturing this wonderful moment. ❤
Nobody gets too much harmony anymore, so thank you, Loved it.
Last night I watched Barry Gibb talk about the loss of his brothers and was utterly heartbroken. I've loved the Bee Gees all my life. I honestly don't know what made me watch this, but I am so glad I did. This made me wow! Thank you for capturing this acapella.
I wonder what he’d say if he saw this. I bet he’d be touched.
I know I saw that interview. I was hysterical. He is the last bee gee. 😢
Absolutely pure talent, truly underrated as musicians.
From someone who grew up listening to the Bee Gees, this is so Amazing. Much Amazing!👏👏👏😱😫😫😭😭😭❤❤❤
Perfect pitch boys. Perfect honor to the Beegees
And I know Barry and his brothers in heaven are saying well done Hanson!!! This lifelong Bee Gee fan is so appreciative of this version. I also say… Well done Hanson!!!!
I am a BeeGees fan too ,and i love this .IT was just beautiful.
My thoughts exactly 🙂
Please check out The Reo brothers. You won't regret it I promise
Would been cool if Barry sang with them
Barry isn't dead yet mam 🙃🙃🙃
I love a capella and somehow I ended up here -BEAUTIFUL!
I'm 53 years old and I would absolutely love to see these guys. I've watched them grow into amazing men and singers. What an awesome tribute.
Those flawless modulations were very, very impressive.
The very best harmonies and blend always come with shared DNA
Thats why I will try something like this with my brother and sister to my big 50th birthday party. We sang together as trio when we were kids.
@@dalangie Happy soon to be your 50th! Nothibg like "singing in" a new decade.
So very true
Wow I'm shocked just how totally awesome their version of this Bee Gees classic is
Something about the connection and harmony of siblings that is so special💕💕
Isaac is ridiculously handsome. So much talent. Will love Hanson forever!!
Zac has matured wonderfully both musically and personally. Their perfect harmonies are so inspiring.
Wow. Flawless. Acapella is not an easy thing to do plus key changes. I am a singer and I don’t think people realize just how much talent you need to create what they sang the way they sang it. It was such a brilliant song for them to do. Incredibly beautiful. It really just made you freeze in time and appreciate the moment. Bravo!
KUDOS KUDOS KUDOS Now that is indeed what you can call real singing by raw voice true singers that you rarely get a chance to here anymore... BEAUTIFUL
I cried watching this. Really talented men. Been a fan since 1997. ❤
Girl, same
Me too!! I saw them a while back and I couldn’t have been happier
Since 1997 too ❤️
Oldies are gold. Powerful lyrics yet subtle too coax even a badly broken heart. I'm born way after the Bee Gees glorious time yet I'm here in love with most of their songs. Tq Barry, Robin and Maurice for beautiful songs of all time. 😢🙏🏼
I was obsessed from 14-24. I knew every word to every song. I could spout off random hanson facts like a stalker 🤣😬. Saw them with my grandpa in 98. It was our last concert together. His words to me walking out that night were, "I've never heard or saw anyone put on a better show than those 'girls' before." He knew they were guys, but the long hair times he had to tease me. He was singing mmmbop right along with the other 5k plus screaming fans that night without missing a beat. Their music saved my life when he passed. My daughter's name is Alice Lucille.... Right now we call her al, but I'm praying she will let us call her lucy in the future.
WOW!! Did not see that coming. Moved me to tears.
Everything about this is flawless and breathtaking! I've been a fan since their first album, Middle of Nowhere...
Wow. Hanson all grown up. I think they grew into themselves and their music. Very nice!
Aside from the greatness of their voices and talents, i really want to appreciate the awesomeness of their hair. They always have such great hair
You are speaking my language
I honestly never thought Hanson would make me tear up. Well done.
Their talent is undeniable
at 58 I was too old when Hanson first came out to pay much attention, just another boy band,little blonde boys singing something about bop, then I saw them on Masked Singer, their harmonies are spot on, I am impressed how good they are they now have an old lady fan lol
Best BeeGee's cover yet! Absolutely on point and spot on wit tha pitch chanGe. Excellent work Guys💯💯
AMAZING!! I just love how these guys harmonize. Serious musicians and attention to voice tone!! I love LOVE love this!!❤️
Dayum, I've had this come through on my feed several times but I finally got to it. What a wonderful treat!
A cappella, this is tremendous!
My cat sings with me and when I put this on she ran in the room and started singing with you....awesome!!!
Thank you!
They did a great job on this song. The BeeGees can’t be beat, but this was beautiful. The BeeGees would be very proud of you! ❤️🌹❤️
I’ve always been in love with Hanson! Their talent is beyond limits!!! 😭😭😭🥰🥰
I think you could hear a pin drop in that place!!!! Simply superb!!!!
One of the last vocally capable bands before auto tune took over. Amazing job guys
I’m sorry that you listen to such crap. While these three are very gifted you’re claim is simply not true.
64 people beg to disagree. I’ll make that 65 by adding myself.
Love You Guys! I remember you singing to me when I worked at the Dental office you where at patients before you became Hanson. Love your parents and siblings. I remember going to watch you at Mayfest!
There truly is something about sibling harmony. After hearing Girl Named Tom on The Voice-USA, they are 2 brothers and kid sister whose actual name is Bekah, but they do address it after their audition. Their harmony on everything they sing is so tight, just like Hanson. These young adults are living proof that rock and roll will never die!
Can't duplicate it . I'm a big fan of the Louvin Brothers, the way they could switch lines back forth effortlessly.
Thank you for paying tribute to the greatest group ever!!! They are so overlooked! All of their music (pre-Saturday Night Live) is awesome!!!!!!
Such a beautiful song and perfectly sung. What a well behaved audience.
I already commented on this, for some reason it's gone. No matter. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for capturing this in its entirety. I am sure this was the most stellar moment in their 25 year career as a band. I feel privileged to have been in the audience.
It makes me so mad they haven't got the attention they truly deserve, But guys dont give!!💞🌹💞
Wow....that is singing without a net.
Nicely done guys.
Lifelong Bee Gees fan here and I can only say these three brothers with their three part harmony did great singing a cover from the brothers Gibb. The greatest Three Brothers in three part harmony history. Long live the Bee Gees
First time I ever heard these guys sing. They did the Bee Gees very proud... And blew me away. Well done!
The Bee Gees would be proud. Amazing vocals.
Yes they would I have so many BeeeGees records I think Barry would be pround
What an amazing performance. Barry Gibb would be very proud. Loved Zac's cheekiness.
I remember taking my daughters and their friends to see them in concert. Afterwards I took them backstage to meet them. Living in Las Vegas I've been to over 500 concerts in my life. Even before that I was still the coolest and best dad ever. You Younglings enjoy life and try to let your parents stay parents and love them. When they're gone they are gone and it's too late to say I love you and I'm sorry!😥
Every now and then I like to come back to this video and watch it 3 times in a row. Beautiful cover!
Same and remember actually being there for this performance. I was very lucky to see this one live
Back again 😂
Omg brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much. They did a great and I mean great. Singing on point. And they grew up so cute.💓🙏⚘⚘⚘😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗
Wow, this is pretty cool! Those HARMONIES -- I hope Barry Gibb heard this... ...and Robin and Maurice were smiling in Heaven.
Always thought they were underrated as artists/musicians when they were younger. This proves it.
Seriously you guys, those harmonies 🥰 you need to do a whole acapella album with a variety of songs from every era. You guys are amazing #bravo 👏👏👏👏👏
It's lovely when talent, DNA and a life of commitment to the craft come together perfectly
I loved them so much!! I especially loved their first Christmas album :-) those were the days.
I'm a full fledged Bee Gees fan and kudos to you for trying! Love yall 💓
If you want to know what talent is...go and see Hanson live! I saw them in Rome last time in 2013 we were not that many but they played for us as if we were an audience of thousands.
That gig was LIT!
Thanks for sharing this video for us to appreciate! Our ears are blessed^^~
Phenomenal!!!!
They are crazy talented. And handsome as heck, to boot.
Didn't really "know" Hanson before listening to this - newfound respect. Well done! Well done!!
Seriously have to play on repeat just to listen the their beautiful individual harmonies. Beyond stunning listening to each of them!
Hanson was great then and they are amazing now. Real musicians ❤️🙌🏼
Forever Hanson
Their tribute to the Bee Gees was amazing. The Hanson brothers are so talented. They are like fine wine, with age they became finer and prestigious wine. Congratulations on your 25th anniversary Tour. If you come to Florida, I hope and pray I am able to see your show. Keep close to each other, you need each other to show the world your love, sincerity and respect for the music you sing.
God bless you all and your families.
Sincerely, Debora Arcarola-Boyd
What a special moment, and nobody yelled out and interrupted it. Amazing
😦😦😦😦 holy shit! They’re incredible
