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.
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?
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.
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!
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!
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 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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
LIVE brilliance; no lip syncing, underrated Maurice on bass, no ear buds (the famous Robin ear cupping).........when music was music...RIP Robin & Maurice.........live on, Barry!!
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.❤
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.
Love this! One of their best performances. Shows just how versatile they each were and how each brother’s talent combined to make that special “Bee Gees” sound. Mo really stepped in on the high end on this one while Barry belted it out and Robin nailed that middle harmony! Wow! Those brothers knocked it out of the park each and every time! We don’t get performers like this much today. Thanks TMS team! You continue to being a smile to my face and keep my feet dancing! 🥰
I love this song so much! I, especially, love hearing it live in their early days of performing it because we get the rare treat of hearing Mo sing the falsetto ad lib parts in the last chorus for Barry, since Barry couldn't sing them while, also, singing the main parts of the chorus, as they were both happening at the same time. I call it a rare treat because Mo never sang that much lead and I'm pretty sure that was the only time he ever sang lead in a really high voice. Also, it amazes me every time I hear it because I think he sounds almost exactly like Barry does singing those parts in the studio version of the song. Thank you, Midnight Special, for giving us this special treat in such a good quality video!
@@susieq9801 Oh, I know. I just meant that it was a rare treat to hear him sing a part that his bros weren't singing, especially in high harmony. That's actually the only time I recall him having ever sung his own part in a song in that high a voice. I hope that makes sense!
Why am I balling like baby?!?!? 😭😭😭 I LOVE this song so much. There is something about “ Well, I had to follow you Though you did not want me to But that won't stop my lovin' you I can't stay away” - that part always gives me chills. All these years later. Why the eff am I sobbing?!?
What else can I say that everyone else hasn't already said about this amazing performance from these three extraordinary men? Well, I can only think of one thing and that is to personally thank The Midnight Special from the bottom of my heart for giving us such a wonderful stroll down memory lane with each and every video they release of our precious guys as well as all the other videos they have released of the many other artists featured during the entire run of "The Midnight Special". I'm having a blast every Friday evening participating in the live stream as they release a new episode in its entirety. If you haven't checked out the Friday live stream please do. I promise that you won't be disappointed.
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.
SUCH a banger!! Ill never forgive The Bee Gees for Sgt. Pepper ( even though it isn't their fault exactly) but *damn* they could write some hits! Over 100 #1's ? And how insanely good looking is Barry? THAT good looking AND talented? That just ain't fair man..
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.
I grew up with this, but was a hard rocker back then (still am). But, I appreciate it more now. Simply wonderful and talented. Thanks again Burt, You are making lots of people very happy. But, especially us boomers.
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 🤩
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!
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.
Great stuff, midnight special… Keep it up. I am a big fan… Watching these kind of performances now you really can understand the detail of how much talent there was… And since America had such a live music on TV, limited selection, you and Don Kirshner‘s rock concert was the only game in town… And to me, these are cultural, historical artifacts… And just great music… Many thanks again, Bert, Sugarman, and Company
Yes!! I LOVE Barry’s falsetto - but I wish he had continued to use his chest voice more after the success with the falsetto. That’s one of the reasons I love this song so much -I love hearing him start out with his deep resonant voice and then go into his higher register. ❤
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
Robin never looked healthier than he does in this performance. Barry was not the only Gibb brother with a great falsetto. Maurice coming in strong in he later verses.
A little history part of this treasure song: The Bee Gees Full Band Barry Gibb - vocal, guitar Robin Gibb - vocal Maurice Gibb - vocal, guitar, bass Blue Weaver - piano, keyboard, synthesizer Alan Kendall - guitar, steel guitar Dennis Bryon - drums Geoff Westley: Piano and Keyboards The Borneroo Horns: Brass orchestra arranged by Arif Mardin; concertmaster Gene Orloff engineer: Karl Richardson (Criteria), Lew Hahn (Atlantic) producer: Arif Mardin January and February 1975, Criteria Recording Studios, Miami; undated, Atlantic Recording Studios, New York.

But did he record that now, or ten days later? January 30 might be more likely. But the basic tracks certainly have a nice funk beat, and the hard-hitting main song contrasts well with a quieter harmony section. This was a landmark recording for the Bee Gees. They had finally broken through to the rhythm and blues sound they loved. ‘Nights on Broadway’ was edited for radio by removing the slow section, just to bring it to a more acceptable length of 2:52. It was also speeded up- or was it? The version on Tales from the Brothers Gibb is also faster than the album, and fades a little later despite a 4:25 running time. That appears to be the correct speed. If so then ‘Nights on Broadway’ was slowed down for the album, presumably to make ‘Jive Talkin’’ sound faster by contrast. By Joseph Brennan
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.
AND UNDERRATED as a bassist......he was the most gifted musician of the three.............
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?
Barry sings with authority. Robin sings with heart and soul. Mo sings with talent from heaven.
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 ?
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.
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? 🤩 💝 🙏

@@odileb9559 Жаль, что Морис умер раньше Робина!! Должно было случиться наоборот!!
When Barry lays that line down it freakin' bowls me over every time. He was ON it!
There will never be another sibling singing trio as great as the Bee Gees ever
The best group ever, God blessed them with a true musical gift. Hope Barry is doing well, bless him.
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.....
Angelic🤍
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.
❤ Robin & his dance moves
So funny, right? He and his bros r truly missed
This is so good. And it gave Elaine her idea for the little kicks.
People forget that the Bee Gees could bring the funk!
That groove is undeniable
100% talent. No lip syncing- you can really see what made these people shoot to super stardom. 🌟
Three gorgeous talented men ❤
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!

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.
Barry and Mo have perfect pitch. Both can sing high, low and falsetto. And with Robin’s ethereal vibrato, they were truly magic together ♥️

Fantastic performance. Wow.
Barry was such a prolific songwriter. What a gift to have.
I remember how much I loved this song when it came out! 😍 Love these guys so much!
Wow!! GREAT performance!!!
More talent in half of the nail of their pink finger than 99% of today’s “musicians”.
So true!
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
Robin never looked healthier than he does in this performance. Barry was not the only Gibb brother with a great falsetto. Maurice coming in strong in he later verses.

NIGHTS ON BROADWAY
Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, Maurice Gibb (1975)
20, 30 January 1975
stereo (slow) 4:31, lead vocal Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb
Main Course, 1975
stereo (fast, edit) 2:52, lead vocal Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb
A side, September 1975
stereo (fast) 4:25, lead vocal Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb
Tales from the Brothers Gibb, 1990
‘Nights on Broadway’ was the first song with some falsetto vocal by Barry, just some backing vocal in the chorus. But did he record that now, or ten days later? January 30 might be more likely. But the basic tracks certainly have a nice funk beat, and the hard-hitting main song contrasts well with a quieter harmony section. This was a landmark recording for the Bee Gees. They had finally broken through to the rhythm and blues sound they loved.
‘Nights on Broadway’ was edited for radio by removing the slow section, just to bring it to a more acceptable length of 2:52. It was also speeded up- or was it? The version on Tales from the Brothers Gibb is also faster than the album, and fades a little later despite a 4:25 running time. That appears to be the correct speed. If so then ‘Nights on Broadway’ was slowed down for the album, presumably to make ‘Jive Talkin’’ sound faster by contrast.

That man on keys was murdering it
Incredible! Love this performance.
My favorite song from the Brothers Gibb.
Incredible
How could no one be up dancing?? Just a banging song. They nailed that with everything live, vocals, ect. The Bee Gees were simply amazing.
