They all shine, but I can't take my eyes off Maurice. He's absolutely nailing these high parts. It's gotta be one of their best live performances of this song.
This is my all time favourite song. They just expressed their feelings through the killer lyrics. “singing them love songs, singing them straight to the heart songs, singing them sweet sounds”. BeeGees dedicated to all of audiences by their hearts. ❤❤
Incredible band. The Bee Gees were extremely versatile. They could do it all. Psychedelic Pop, Rock, AM Pop, Power Pop, Funk and Disco. The many facets of The Bee Gees!
The Bee Gees simply had the cleanest vocals in rockdom. Every word sung with exquisite clarity. Some pretty damn good tunes. The Bee Gees were unique and drew you in whatever genre was your favorite.
This particular performance is one of their very best - ever!! All 3 of them were hitting perfectly. What a great ride we've had for 60+ years. Thank you for keeping them alive for us all.
Maurice used to be the one to sing falsetto in the group’s harmonies. Maurice usually either sang the high part or the lowest part in most of their early stuff.
@@danhermon4922 Barry has done a falsetto before, just never a falsetto lead. He did it on the songs “Melody Fair” and “Dogs.” “Night on Broadway” was the first song where his falsetto was used as a lead.
I think Maurice had to step up (and he did so magnificently) for the live performance. Barry can’t perform both parts (as he does on the recorded version).
Sir Barry has admitted in recent interviews that all of them had different voices, but they harmonized extremely well together, & he said out of the three of them it was Sir Maurice that had the widest range.
I wasn't expecting this wonderful tune this morning. I'll just have to be a little late signing into work. IMHO it is one of the best Bee Gees songs ever, and that's saying something, because there are so many favorites. Barry's powerful gorgeous voice starting this out on an upbeat rather than the expected downbeat gives "Here We Are" even more emphasis. Robin's voice is clear as a bell and they blend perfectly. What about wonderful Mo? Barry couldn't do the falsetto ad libs while also singing lead. So you get to hear Mo perform it flawlessly. He most often did high harmony, but had a huge vocal range and could do down to low baritone. Wow, this woke me right up this morning. This is an incredibly important song to me. Thank you to The Midnight Special guys for this!
2023 and these guys STILL evoke every emotion with their words, their sound, and pure unfiltered talent. Sexy guys every one of them. My heart literally aches thinking the group is gone. Love them forever!
For three guys and a band that could fit in the size of a two car garage, they have such a powerful sound. I bet it would sound just as good in that garage as it does on stage! That, is what performing live is all about. By the way, that would’ve been the ultimate block party.
Love the song ‘Nights on Broadway’ the Gibb brothers were fantastically talented, they sure wrote romantic lyric’s, just love Mo’s upper harmonies when he lets it out, Go~Mo~Go! @3:40
Three great lads who produced great music for our pleasure. Nothing in there lyrics about killing , shooting, stabbing or drugs just good old great music. Thank you Bee Gees Barry, Robin, Andy.
Barry Gibb man, coolest guy on the planet, my fave Bee Gees song, but Bazz is magnificent on this, groovin' his ass off, brilliant man, the look on his face after the line, "Here we are", priceless, nobody rocks a pair of denims and trainers like Bazz, what a guy, love him.
Incredible performance and such unique funky tune… and a rare one where you really hear Maurice, and he knocked it out of the park… especially love that oooooh part.
I love the little smile on Barry’s face after he sings the line… “Here we are…” He knows he totally nailed it. 😁 This song, and performance have aged like fine wine.
Il se trompe. Ce n'est pas lui qui a bien réussi et qui me manquent beaucoup? Ce sont Maurice et Robin. Dommage que les meilleurs du groupe soient partis trop .tôt.
Shame that my grown sons will never know the feeling of hearing this song at 18 years old, walking down the street in a safe downtown Chicago at midnight with it coming from every storefront. Sublime.
💟I lived in Chicago for 13 years.💖 Your comment brings such a deep sadness. 🍃 I fear, never returning, due to the current non-stop mayhem ~ which started in May, 2020 ~ only worse, every passing day. Edit, add-on🙃🙂, to close with a happy note: What you typed, specifically reminded me, about my evenings bicycling through downtown Chicago until before dawn ~just for fun, all summer-long.🍀
True.. I mean, I watched a film version of an modern artist's concert the other day..I noticed that the voice was almost the same as the recorded one and I thought she must be that good cause there was never an out of tune moment...but then I watched a live clip of the concert on youtube and there I knew it was a lot different. She wasn't bad live but I dont understand why they had to pitch correct the film version, I mean, isn't the live version more authentic and raw?
Gotta love the fact they were listening. Unlike today, where everybody has out their phone and is not enjoying the music. These really are the good old days
A audiência ficou calada e não acreditava de tanta perfeição que vinha daquele palco. Nessa apresentação os Bee Gees mostraram sua potência, precisão, melodia, harmonia, arranjos e uma mudança radical no estilo. Perfeitos.❤
This video has 72k views and I’m responsible for 70k! Awesome live performance! Barry and Robin seem to be competing but Maurice comes in with the beautiful falsetto hammer at the end! You don’t hear music like this any more!
Dennis Byron is, as would expected of any and all musicians associated with the Bee Gees, a brilliant drummer. Here, he's playing note-for-note what he plays in the studio. The galloping beat in this song is not just technically challenging, but to capture what the beat is supposed to sound like, requires tremendous feel. Dennis has it, in spades.
I was born in 1971 and I can remember staying up Late to watch the midnight special while my parents were partying with their friends so much good music and such fun 🤩
One of the best bands ever of all time. A unique blend of sounds when disco was the craze, they had the talent to excel beyond the masses to another level in the 70's !
They also excelled in the 60's, my favorite era of the band, (when they were mobbed like the Beatles) and in the 80's, '90's and 2000 but were boycotted for being too popular. People who only know their 70's work are missing out on a lot of terrific music.
Back to this video again. This is one of the very best LIVE performances I have ever seen, for ANY song! It surpassed, (in my opinion), the original studio recording and showcases the sheer talent these three guys had. What happened to this kind of music?
Mo doesnt get enough credit. Robin dances like Elaine on Seinfeld 😂 and i love this Barry, more than his falsetto. My greatest regret was never seeing them live. Love them
Wow, just wow! Still one of the best performances ever on Midnight Special, they just just don't make them like the Bee Gees anymore, takes my breath away. Especially love Robin in this one!
No backtrack, no autotuned vocals, just talent.
I never get the premise of praising someone while downgrading others 🤷🏽♂️
As it should be.
Plugging one ear to hear the notes better in your head was the auto tuning of the 70’s 😂
Yes, just TALENT!!! ❤❤❤
@@mrjimi Who did they downgrade ?
Maurice- the secret weapon with those bass grooves.
And he was singing the falsettos
Barry sings with authority. Robin sings with heart and soul. Mo sings with talent from heaven.
They all shine, but I can't take my eyes off Maurice. He's absolutely nailing these high parts. It's gotta be one of their best live performances of this song.
Maurice totally shines here. Thank you for these!!!
There will never be another sibling singing trio as great as the Bee Gees ever
Barry and Mo have perfect pitch. Both can sing high, low and falsetto. And with Robin’s ethereal vibrato, they were truly magic together ♥️
Maurice on high harmonies again. Fabulous man.
Three gorgeous talented men ❤
People forget that the Bee Gees could bring the funk!
That groove is undeniable
This is my all time favourite song. They just expressed their feelings through the killer lyrics. “singing them love songs, singing them straight to the heart songs, singing them sweet sounds”. BeeGees dedicated to all of audiences by their hearts. ❤❤
You sure got that right my friend!!!
Robin Gibb is a vision in beige!
Incredible band. The Bee Gees were extremely versatile. They could do it all. Psychedelic Pop, Rock, AM Pop, Power Pop, Funk and Disco. The many facets of The Bee Gees!
❤ Robin & his dance moves
So funny, right? He and his bros r truly missed
This is the best performance of that song that I've ever seen. Maurice really shines.

So good!
So true & so good.....one of the best performances ever & we've all been patiently waiting for this!😌
@@kthor Absolutely agree. It was a great surprise this morning.
@@themidnightspecialtvshow Could you please upload more Bee Gees performances from this '75 show? 🤩 💝 🙏
The best group ever, God blessed them with a true musical gift. Hope Barry is doing well, bless him.
Incredible vocals.
I miss the bee gees... a lot
Notice how it is Maurice, not Barry, doing the falsetto part in this song.
Maurice used to be the one to sing falsetto in the group’s harmonies. Maurice usually either sang the high part or the lowest part in most of their early stuff.
@@danhermon4922 Barry has done a falsetto before, just never a falsetto lead. He did it on the songs “Melody Fair” and “Dogs.” “Night on Broadway” was the first song where his falsetto was used as a lead.
@@danhermon4922 "controversial' as in 'not remotely controversial in any way ever'.
I think Maurice had to step up (and he did so magnificently) for the live performance. Barry can’t perform both parts (as he does on the recorded version).
Sir Barry has admitted in recent interviews that all of them had different voices, but they harmonized extremely well together, & he said out of the three of them it was Sir Maurice that had the widest range.
Man, right off the top: Heeeeeeeere we are - He just kills it!
I was never into The Bee Gees. I was born in 88 and I only knew the disco stuff. This is so fing catchy and well done. Love The Bee Gees now lol
Dang Mo you are so clever with that falsetto. On the nights of broadway
And great drumming.
Yes, the slow down into the bridge is incredible.
Dennis Bryon on drums
100% talent. No lip syncing- you can really see what made these people shoot to super stardom. 🌟
Barry was the best elder brother younger brothers could ever hope to have. Truth.
I know there are more popular Bee Gees songs but this is my favorite.
Damn, they were great!!
Wow!! GREAT performance!!!
The great vocals, especially the falsetto of maurice, make the song even more spectacular.

One more thing - because I just can't quit listening quite yet. That was probably the best bridge ever written!
Oh yeah! Written ever and by anyone!
So true.. the bridge is just.....
I was 7. What a time to be alive.
This is real music.
The Bee Gees on The Nights on Broadway singing those good songs, singing those love songs, singing those straight-to-the-heart songs.
ETERNAL GL0RY T0 THE BEE GEES!!! ❤🔥
OMG, my mind is blown away with these 3!!!! Pure perfection!!!
2023 and these guys STILL evoke every emotion with their words, their sound, and pure unfiltered talent. Sexy guys every one of them. My heart literally aches thinking the group is gone. Love them forever!
Barry is still going.
@@VariedVids I know. That's why I said group. Miss the group. Love Barry❤️
@@ktyack2030 That could easily be misunderstood by many to mean all three have died when only two-thirds of the group are gone.
@@ktyack2030 The new group is Barry and his children who are still writing and singing.
Incredible
God, they were amazing.
True genius, tight vocals. Great beat.

Barry, Robin, Andy.
Barry had a powerhouse chest voice! Their biggest year was 1978, but their best year was 1975.
This is so good. And it gave Elaine her idea for the little kicks.
The Midnight Special brought us wonderful talented singers love me the Bee Gees 🐝 💜 💕 ❤️
My favorite song from the Brothers Gibb.
Fantastic performance. Wow.

One of my most favorite songs ever. So awesome to hear Mo singing the falsetto. Their voices are just sublime. ❤️

Harmonies for days, live acts don’t get better then this…..
Talkin it up
At the Barry Gibb Talk Show
Lol
Literally came to mind immediately
Google it if you've not seen it 😅
What I loved about TMS was there was no lip syncing unlike 99% of the shows even today
True..

No less than TEN different keyboards and two keyboardists for this performance!
What a great song. They weren't just disco.
Gotta love the fact they were listening. Unlike today, where everybody has out their phone and is not enjoying the music.
These really are the good old days

Absolutely fantastic!!!
Glad you like it!
I still cant believe they're gone.😢
I wish I could have experienced more of the 70’s! 🎶🎶🎶
Classic. Thanks for sharing 👍
Robin....Robin....Robin
Love that we see the talent of each of the three brothers.
Wow Robin gettin his funky groove on right at the end!
🕺🏻
My favorite Bee Gees song! ♥
Maurice is a great bassist!
Cannot wait til Burt & crew upload their Wind of Change performance from this same episode!👍
yes me too 🙏 can't wait to watch Barry 😊 and I love that song
Great performance of a great song.
And thank you so much for finally bringing these shows back to us !!
I remember how much I loved this song when it came out! 😍 Love these guys so much!
Wow. This holds up beautifully! What a performance.
Thank you! sugar man!
You bet!
ABSOLUTE JAM!!!!
Back when they let songs breath!

Dennis wrote a book about being their drummer. Got it from the library. Pretty informative.
@@RK-gg4dd Thank you!
Classic and done so well.
Barry Gibb❤❤
I was born in 1971 and I can remember staying up
Late to watch the midnight special while my parents were partying with their friends so much good music and such fun 🤩
Love seeing them perform this, one of my favourite from their so many incredible performances ...and I can hear Mo's voice clearly
One of the best bands ever of all time. A unique blend of sounds when disco was the craze, they had the talent to excel beyond the masses to another level in the 70's !

There early work from sixties were terrific. And it got better and different and still wonderful as they went on.
Thank you for sharing
NEVER could comprehend they would not be singing together FOREVER 🥺😢💔
🏆🙏🇺🇲🤗
Back to this video again. This is one of the very best LIVE performances I have ever seen, for ANY song!
It surpassed, (in my opinion), the original studio recording and showcases the sheer talent these three guys had.
What happened to this kind of music?
Mo doesnt get enough credit. Robin dances like Elaine on Seinfeld 😂 and i love this Barry, more than his falsetto. My greatest regret was never seeing them live. Love them
If your an artist and you you do the Midnight Special your performance will be special.
Blue Weaver and Dennis Bryon = Bee gees band
💙
Perfect Harmony!
Happy Monday.... thank you for sharing! 💖
Superb! Thanks for the upload 😉
Our pleasure!
Wow, just wow! Still one of the best performances ever on Midnight Special, they just just don't make them like the Bee Gees anymore, takes my breath away. Especially love Robin in this one!
Always loved this group and loved this song.
Wonderful voices of the Bee Gees! They were the greatest songwriters, artists and with natural talents. Loved them so much.
Listening to this fantastic performance, while understanding the Grammys are celebrating 50 years of hip hop tonight.
