Yes, all the midnight specials were live. In the studio version of the song Barry does the falsettos, they were overlayed in the song. Now obviously he couldn’t sing lead and do the falsettos live so Maurice did the falsetto in this performance.
Barry was singing lead here - just his lower voice. Robin was in middle. Maurice was singing the high part in chorus (although on the record, Barry sang that part too)
Love, love, love them!!! This is pre-disco, pre-falsetto days. My heart always skips a beat when Robin starts singing, "Well I had to follow you.....". His voice is so captivating. And Mo's voice and musical instrumentation are just mind blowing.
For the diehard rock fan in the 70’s,the BeeGees were seen as cheesy,but trust me,they were EVERYONES guilty pleasure and we’ve ALL danced to many of their tracks.
I love your reaction at 4:44, which parallels my reaction to that part: The song is bopping along, and then it shifts, those ascending chords come in, and the sadness, the loss enter. One can feel it immediately. And the harmonies build, wrapping around one, and giving some solace. It is an amazing piece of art.
This whole album, Main Course, is a great album! No throw away songs here! Many consider it their best album. And Fanny, Be Tender is on it. That's reason enough to own it!
I have about 13 copies now of main course from different countries. All are a different shade of green and I think its hilarious. The one from mum's teenage collection is obviously my favourite though.
Love them or hate them , the Bee Gees are larger than life !!! before the Disco Era they were a successful band born in England raised in Australia made them very popular worldwide .
It was this exact song that Barry learned to use his Falsetto. Sure enough ! He was asked to give a high pitch and he tried it and it blew the studio people away. And there rose his success.
You can tell they are really singing the song because there's no filler music in the background. if you hear the album, the song seems very different because there's a lot of their filler voices in between the music they Sing. it's really really good to hearing them sing naturally, without all the background and filler music that albums have. it shows their talent and they are very talented!!!
All the brothers have very distinct voices, the magic happens when the 3 voices blend together & they sound like one in perfect harmony...they are without peer in my opinion❤
Although Morris was singing a few lines in high falsetto, this is the first song where Barry Gibb was asked by their producer to do a scream near the end of the song also in high falsetto which then led to the "iconic" Bee Bee sound from that time forward.
The Bee Gees are true talents. I love them and have been privileged to have listened to them all my life. So many great songs, so diverse. Amazing!!! Love your reaction it was great!!
I saw one other person mention this somewhere in here, but to highlight the point. It was during the recording of Nights on Broadway that Barry discovered he could sing falsetto. It was THIS song that led to the long line of famous falsetto Bee Gees songs. Here Maurice sings the falsetto parts because it’s live and Barry is singing the lead with his full voice.
Barry was on the far right, Robin, with his unique quaver in the middle and Maurice on the left doing the high parts at the end. Put em all together and you have close to perfection.
No, Barry is the one singing lead, Robin is in the middle and he does his own singing and then Maurice aka Morris, called Mo (with the black sparkly pants), is actaully the one doing falsetto in this song, not Barry.
Ahhh. the original 'auto tune'. Cupping the hand to the ear which allowed the singer to better hear the pitch of their own voice an adjust their vocals themselves while they were singing. Especially when singing harmonies. So many great singers used to do that. Great reaction to a disco classic.
Yeah the funky wah wah guitar effect really makes this song. I also love the moog synthesizer bass underneath holding it all down. Not to mention some of the greatest harmonies of all time from The Brothers Gibb. So sad that only Barry is the only one left now :(
Love all things Bee Gees- however I highly recommend the studio version as well- There’s more bass and bits you might not catch or even hear if you’re not very familiar with it- .. Much “fuller” sound in the studio version- 💙💜✌️
Kimberlini I so agree! Even though this is still good, the studio version blends the instruments and vocals evenly bringing out the greatness of all who were part of this masterpiece. 🙌
I love that this performance features all brothers voices, especially Maurice using his falsetto long before Barry discovered his! ☮️✌️ Edit: Barry is on the right, Robin in the middle with Maurice (pronounced Morris) on the left. Barry did sing the falsetto on the recording but could not when singing live
@@davidmoorecatdaddy6994 Because Barry is already singing lead on the main vocals. While he can multitrack in the studio, Barry can't sing two different parts at the same time live.
@@davidmoorecatdaddy6994 Early on, before the “birth” of Barry’s falsetto, he & Robin basically shared lead. Then in the 70’s is when they were asked to kind of scream is when Barry discovered he could control it much better than Robin & Maurice. All of them could sing with the falsetto, just not as easily as Barry & because of that it seems he sang lead more because of that. Before the whole disco onset, early on, in their harmonies Maurice sang the high harmony a lot. In an interview, Barry once said that Maurice was a genius at instinctively knowing how to use his voice in harmony ☮️✌️
That was Barry singing lead, he has a deep chest voice. Everyone thinks he just sings in falsetto…that only came out in the late 70’s. They have bunches of great songs from the 60’s and early 70’s with Barry using his chest voice. He has a fantastic range. Mo Maurice ( pronounced Morris, Mo for short) does the. Harmonies and the high parts at the end (live)
So nice to see angela's emotional reactions to the songs! It enhances for me the impact of the songs! For me angelic angela is the perfect mediator for the joy of songs.
Robin Gibb is in the middle here. Barry you know already. Robin and Maurice (they pronounced it almost like "Morris") were fraternal twins. Barry was the oldest brother and today is the last living Bee Gee (2022). Robin really shines, singing the lead on "I Started a Joke".
Barry, the oldest brother, sang lead on this one, and Maurice played bass and did the high fill vocals at the end that Barry did on the studio version.
Maurice(pronounced Morris)is singing falsetto here and Barry and Robin are singing lead. Barry sings the falsetto part on the recording. Loved The Bee Gees then and love them even more now.
@@telstar4772In the studio version Barry sings the falsetto. End of story. Maurice just had to take the part live because Barry couldn’t sing two parts at once.
Honey, that was Barry on the lead. He just looked a lil different then. Barry is the only one that had a full beard. Maurice did the really high notes toward the end. God bless yer heart. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s always a treat to see you react to a Bee Gees song. Yer just so dang cute! Lol. 😜 Good video as always. 😃👍🏻
The Bee Gees were a musical hit factory! I believe that was Natalie Cole introducing them Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end! Where does time go?
The fact they played this live is amazing, and proves how good they were. No one was playing live on tv at this time.
Adam Lambert still does.
@@gregpek1624 That`s like comparing a house painter to Picasso.
@@telstar4772 yeah really
@@williampaul7096 was this performance on ' The Midnight Special' live ?
Yes, all the midnight specials were live. In the studio version of the song Barry does the falsettos, they were overlayed in the song. Now obviously he couldn’t sing lead and do the falsettos live so Maurice did the falsetto in this performance.
Freaking live. Love hearing Maurice do those high callouts at the end. What a performance.
Barry is singing lead in his natural voice. They discovered his high range by accident during a recording session. He has a huge range.
Exactly!!!
Barry was singing lead here - just his lower voice. Robin was in middle. Maurice was singing the high part in chorus (although on the record, Barry sang that part too)
Barry and Robin shared lead vocals on this one.
@@sirrobin4394 yup
Pronounced "Morris"
@@sirrobin4394Nah. Barry’s lead.
Love, love, love them!!! This is pre-disco, pre-falsetto days. My heart always skips a beat when Robin starts singing, "Well I had to follow you.....". His voice is so captivating. And Mo's voice and musical instrumentation are just mind blowing.
Absolutely insane that this was a live performance. Perfect tight harmonies.
This has to be the sweetest, and loveliest Woman!!!

one of the all time bridges in rock right there

It was. Their best LP.😘

One of my favorites Bee Gees performances -- especially Maurice hitting those falsetto high notes and Robin's solo elements. Thanks for the reaction!
All the brothers have very distinct voices, the magic happens when the 3 voices blend together & they sound like one in perfect harmony...they are without peer in my opinion❤
Fosho!
Thanks - this is a great song - and I really love ROBIN! :) - Maurice is a key part, as well - probably least known and appreciated...
Live vocals here. Just great. You can’t beat family singing harmonies. Love this tune
Love to hear MO sing!

Back in the 70's the Bee Gees created one song after another that were great to swing dance to. What a party! Great video! Thank you!
My favorite Bee Gee's song! It's a banger of a tune.
Actually it was Barry Gibb singing lead vocals and Robin and Maurice Gibb singing backup vocals but Robin Gibb has a small vocal solo in this song.
Maurice on the end, is the BeeGees who did the falsetto...@ the end...Robin was in the middle with the one of akind vioce..
Only falsetto for the live performance of this song.
Barry was on the far right, Robin, with his unique quaver in the middle and Maurice on the left doing the high parts at the end. Put em all together and you have close to perfection.
This is the best live version of this song...love it
Love the energy and emotions you get with each song you react to.

Great things that "real" singers used to do.
Yup Robin did it all the time- proved they’re really good and doing it live
R&B..there were no disco songs on the Main Course album.Not in '75.
Great song by Bee Gees!
5:44 the beginning of falsetto. Led to their amazing rising as a band. Love it 😊
Wow what a great performance.
Yeah the funky wah wah guitar effect really makes this song. I also love the moog synthesizer bass underneath holding it all down. Not to mention some of the greatest harmonies of all time from The Brothers Gibb. So sad that only Barry is the only one left now :(
Yes this is live !!
The BeeGees were brilliant; the amazing thing about this song is hearing the range of their voices; the arrangement was totally awesome
Geniuses. Total geniuses.
Love all things Bee Gees- however I highly recommend the studio version as well- There’s more bass and bits you might not catch or even hear if you’re not very familiar with it- .. Much “fuller” sound in the studio version- 💙💜✌️
Your right about the other version , too each it's own . But I don't understand why most reactions don't do that version 💯🙄🤗
I actually prefer this one. Barry without all the falsetto. His voice is pretty powerful
I agree
Kimberlini I so agree! Even though this is still good, the studio version blends the instruments and vocals evenly bringing out the greatness of all who were part of this masterpiece. 🙌
Correct.
Angela, your sweet smile is like icing on the delicious cake that's this song by The BeeGees.
Those were the days. They were truly golden.😪
Masterclass

@@sallymcmanus9198 And it was on this very song Barry realized the falsetto in him & they began writing more music for this newly discovered voice!
Use to stay up to watch h those show. I am blessed to have grown up in this Era. So much great music all around. Love your enthusiasm
You are gorgeous! I'm glad you're discovering the Bee Gees. One of my favorite artists. It was Robin who you're mentioning as singing most of it.
Hi Angela it’s Robin singing the part you were interested in.
Maurice sang the falsetto part in the end!
Good to see you.

Bee Gees Love So Right
BeeGees best song,big song in the discsos in 76,77
GREAT live performance!!! I'd suggest listening to the studio version to get the full effect of song's instrumentation and vocals!!!
Robin Gibb is in the middle here. Barry you know already. Robin and Maurice (they pronounced it almost like "Morris") were fraternal twins. Barry was the oldest brother and today is the last living Bee Gee (2022).
Robin really shines, singing the lead on "I Started a Joke".
Barry is singing Lead, that wacka wacka sound is the electric guitar 🎸, Love you Angela 😍 ❤ 😘
Don’t forget the wah wah pedal 🙂
That's Robin Gibb....
I really like the BGees stuff that puts Robin out there.
Thanks for putting this together....
👍
Nailed it
Just fantastic.
Love seeing you react. So so beautiful. As for this song, my 2nd all time favorite Bee Gees song.
Thanks
That is so funky....
Barry, the oldest brother, sang lead on this one, and Maurice played bass and did the high fill vocals at the end that Barry did on the studio version.
That's the Bee Gees singing live 🎶🎸😎
Great singers, they were unique.
On The Bee Gees HBO documentary, Barry learned his falsetto on this song at end.
Bee Gees
Words
Maurice(pronounced Morris)is singing falsetto here and Barry and Robin are singing lead. Barry sings the falsetto part on the recording. Loved The Bee Gees then and love them even more now.
Love the Bee Gees
ONE OF YOUR BEST YET, ANGELA!!
Rockin' the Brothers Gibb all year long groovy.
Even if it's takes a lifetime 💥
Love this song and your channel!!
Could you listen to Andy Gibb's "Our Love (Don't Throw it All Away), which was done live in concert by the Bee Gees in memory of their late brother.
That is Barry singing ( using his regular voice) and Robin in the middle…Mo comes in the harmonies and uses the falsetto near the end.
Bee Gees at the top of their game
This song was the one that Barry learned people liked his high voice from the back drop vocals he did... And a whole new sound was born
The high pitched singing is Maurice. Make something else up lol
@@telstar4772 In the live version yes, but the studio version is Barry
@@amepl9763 That is the live version
@@telstar4772In the studio version Barry sings the falsetto. End of story. Maurice just had to take the part live because Barry couldn’t sing two parts at once.
Thank you this was great!
bee gees sensuality
I love the songs you review, but Angela your personality makes me happy as well.
Honey, that was Barry on the lead. He just looked a lil different then. Barry is the only one that had a full beard.
Maurice did the really high notes toward the end.
God bless yer heart. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s always a treat to see you react to a Bee Gees song.
Yer just so dang cute! Lol. 😜
Good video as always. 😃👍🏻
This song will always remind me of my mom and the love of her life. RIP mom and Nelson Marrs. What a love story, however sad the ending.
Everlasting love by the Bee Gees
Maurice (pronounced Morris) rocking out the falsetto! ❤️
The Bee Gees were a musical hit factory! I believe that was Natalie Cole introducing them Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end! Where does time go?
Yes we did think those days would never end so sad they did
There is nothing better than live music 🎶. And these guys can sing so good. Yes the studio music is cleaner . But I just love live music
The guitar sound is a effect pedal called the Wah Wah pedal gives it that sound.
cool Ive never heard this song live. or seen them sing it live :) Cheers !
“ Love So Right “ Bee Gees
This song is a nice VIBE!!!
Indeed I've met Barry Robin Maurice British Brothers Gibbs in person plus baby brother Andy Gibb..!thank you much ..
I love Robins voice. He sang more lead with their much earlier stuff pre disco
Not more than Barry. But more than he did by this time, yes.
Barry sings the main lead robin sings after
Maurice does the Adlibs near the end
Great group. All the better cuz it was live. Used to get off working 2nd shift, and running home , to catch The Midnight Special.
