Sounds like a studio recording, can't believe this is a live performance? Such precision in musicianship and sound mixing. This band is simply outstanding.
The singer is the producer*. EVERYTHING on this planet has post-production. What planet are you from? Half of the instruments on this track, are not even visualized. *and is VERY good at it.
it's astounding to me that there is another human being on this planet who can hang with Streisand vocally like this---fantastic job on her part. I particularly like how he sings with his wonderful voice instead of trying to imitate Berry Gibb (bravo!). This band, musically, nails everything EVERYTIME in EVERY song they do.. astounding..
This wonderful collaboration shouldn't even attempt a Streisand cover, that would be outrageous. But they did, and dare I say they matched, if not improved upon the original. Incredible. Thankyou so much.
This guitar player is just so rare to find. Both being subtle in playing yet substantially satisfying in nailing his guitar solos without unnecessary notes.
Agreed. And proof that musicality is about what is said, not how much is said. So many....especially young up and coming players.... want to dazzle with shredding to prove they can really play. As soon as they do that, they mark themselves as musically immature.
Every solo this man does is sheer joy to listen to. He has a wonderful knack of playing EXACTLY what is required at the right time. Check out his awesome solo in "Ride like the wind" if you need any further proof!!
@@astrocp16 Yes! Oh you're exactly right. I have sought out all his performances in this channel actually and yes, he always gets the solo in just the right way. One of the top guitarists of this generation IMO.
That’s just amazing. There’s only a few really awesome cover bands out there that achieve this amazing level of craftsmanship, like Leonid and Friends, LLB, maybe a few others. But for the Streisand covers, these ladies are truly amazing. I grew up watching Streisand movies, hearing her music, etc. Her voice has some very unique characteristics. Unless you’ve been exposed to her work in various forms, maybe you don’t recognize it. This lady… OH… MY… GOSH. I’ve never heard anyone nail Streisand’s voice like that. It’s stunning really. And that is hard to describe what an amazing feat that is, given Streisand’s crazy awesome voice abilities. Well, that was very, very well done.
It’s so easy to forget how great a singer Darren is when he sings with someone this fantastic, but his vocal performance stands on its own merits here.
This band is Gods gift to music, take note you young future musicians. This is where you get too with practice ,hard work, and dedication to music . In the old days it was known as serving an apprenticeship learning the trade , not like these one song no hopers on tv . Simon bloody Cowell your to blame for the demise of bringing bands through and in the process making bands a dying breed !
Stefan Hauk is so talented. His guitar solos just give the polish to any song regardless of its genre. Great contribution to "Guilty" for Melissa and Darren.
Kudos to that lead guitarist, who sits quietly in the background until it’s time for his solo, and then he totally shreds it with flare and talent. Nicely done!
General comment : I have played in Italy and the US for about 40 years, most jazz and latin, basses and percussions.....but occasionally in pop cover bands, your band is the BEST COVER BAND I ever listened to, period. This and most tunes you played are just great, sound, performance, arrangements, musicians.... CONGRATS !!!
This band is absolutely fantastic. What a gem on UA-cam. You guys should pack up with all the ladies and go on a world tour. Nothing on the radio these days even comes close to the quality of this channel. Keep up the great work!
Wow...I'm so impressed with Melissa as a vocalist. Such an open sound w/ excellent technique. She's got so much resonance, brightness, depth...really fills a space. She seems really versatile, like she can sing pop music, but also perform in a more classical style used in the theatre. I wouldn't be surprised to discover that she works in the Aussie version of the West End or Broadway. She also seems like she would be a vocal coach.
This is one excellent cover band. But yet the word “cover” does not justify HSCC. They are so much better than many of the original artists. There talents are so awesome, this is why so many of us follow them via media outlets like UA-cam. Thank you HSCC and the entire crew for providing us such great music. Hugs and God bless!
Oh yeah...GREAT SONG PICK here guys. This coming from a bass player who can barely sing backup vocals but...taking on a Barry Gibb vocal is a daunting task, never mind Babs too! I've loved this song for YEARS and was happy to come across it today. I'm glad the band is carrying the torch of adult classics that most people today tend toforget about or are ignorant towards. Now, I heard "Tragedy" the other day by BeeGees...and the vocals alone, left my jaw on the floor. Have you heard this classic before? If not look it up! What a tremendous song! Thanks to the drummer there who's meter was right on and kept things tight and low to the ground. Thank you.
I forgot how crazy the harmony is on that song. The don't write songs like that anymore. Another perfect job guys, stunning musicianship..and that Guitar solo was just so expressive! 🎸😎👍🏻
Incredebil version of that superb classic . I love it again and im 67 yrs . Best music ever in that time . We all remember real singers and musicians . BRAVO
I am 1970 man, lived in Sydney for 11 years. Never heard any bands there playing songs beautifully like you, your sound engineer is so crispy, crystal instrument positioning, balanced dynamic, things synchronize superbly with vocalists. Con's bass is lively and punchy hit. You guys are great. If I bring my kid to school there again, I will find a opportunity to watch you .
This is one of our favoutite HSCC performances. We still hold out hope of hearing Darren Mullan and Mel McCaig sing this togehter again, all being well we will travel from Scotland to visit our son and his girfriend in Australia, maybe next year. Seeing HSCC live somewhere in the Australia is high on our list wish list of things to do.
One of my favorites by this group. I really liked at the intro the male vocalist pointed to her and without saying a word told all of us, “You are in for a treat listening to her.”... and he is right. She is a real treat to listen to. Just a stunning duet.
That was co-founder of HSCC usually on one of the keyboards singing background vocals...Darren Mullan pointing at Melissa ("Mel") McCaig who does have some lead vocals in other covers but is often a background singer. That is just another thing that makes HSCC so amazing, they move their band members around to fit each and every cover song done to such perfection. No one comes close to their levels of professionalism.
@@theHindleyStreetCountryClub Why no Chicago??? This vocalist is just itching to cover Terry Kath. Make Me Smile!!!! Please. Then of course, 25 or 6 to 4!!!! I know this guy would love the challenge being a ringer vocalist and a guitar player too!!
The female singer...oh my... incredible👍👍👍 somebody on earth has the voice of Streisand? Unbelievable!!!!! Not imitating, the male singer is awesome too👍👍👍
This was REALLY good! I could close my eyes and see and hear Barabra Streisand and Barry Gibb. The back up support was excellent! Well done by everyone. Sincerely.............
HSCC always has the best. The lead guitar here is always spectacular in all of his sessions with this great band. Heck, they are all always top notch. And the way they record, mix, and master is amazing, using the space and equipment they way they do.
Probably the best balanced duet ever. Certainly on UA-cam. Their voices are perfect for each other. I have always found this rendition enjoyable..and professional for such a small studio
Isnt it cool that no matter what instrument you play it is only there and making the sound it does to complement the most amazing instrument of all. The human voice. What an amazing performance. All of you. Wow.
What a great version. I especially like the way the surprise of the end of the lovely guitar solo was handled with such style, grace and humour. Nothing to be guilty of. Top quality pros. 🙂
I actually have the HSCC addiction! I can't tell you guys how much happiness you've brought into my house, especially during CV and am sure many others feel the same. Every video is so uplifting!
Me three....but I have been listening to them for over a year now! They have honestly kept me sane during these unprecedented times with COVID-19. I feel like they are my new friends, especially Pina Del Re who is an absolute sweetie but not unlike the other folks from Australia (I actually visited 2 wonderful friends and their families in Queensland in 2012)! I love all of HSCC and the diversity of talent they have to select the proper or the best for specific situations -- thank you all! Hoping things continue to improve after more people get vaccinated against COVID-19 so you can perform in the USA (somewhere in New York or Las Vegas) for all of the new fans/friends you have made while listening/watching your 300+ cover songs performed. I especially love the top quality of everything HSCC, and cannot wait to attend your in-person concert...even if it means traveling back to AUS to see you!! Can't wait!!!
Guau, guau, guau!!!! Maravillosa interpretación de este clásico!! Que voz de los vocalistas,! su tesitura de voz es más encantadora que la de los originales Bárbara y Barry!! Muchas Felicidades! Es un placer escucharlos!
Stefan's guitar solo is so unbelievable. The way that Melissa and Darren come straight back in with totalitarian blend, out of the solo is just mental. So good.
This is the third video I'm digging because the woman's voice fits perfectly...the band is flawless and the vocals must be also...she honored Barbara by keeping the integrity in Barbara's parts, she didn't put too much in it and didn't take anything out, she was flawless
That was incredible. The best cover of any Streisand song I’ve ever heard. I’m a long time big fan of Barbra. She’s always pitch perfect gliding and soaring through the notes with unmatched emotional delivery of lyrics. That song was written for her by Barry with her vocal ability in mind I’m sire. It’s not an easy song to sing climbing and descending the scales. Barbra’s phrasing and breathing always make it sound so easy and wonderful to listen to. Your vocal delivery is truly spectacular as is your partner and that great band including the great guitar solo. I hope Barbra and Barry get to hear it.
When I heard her on your other covers, I thought, "What a beautiful voice!" And, voila, here she is ... finally ... getting the lead. And she's _wonderful_ . No surprise there, mate.
Una banda que "hace música", que ama la música, que le aporta valor y excelencia, artistas en su mejor expresión. Felicitaciones desde Argentina. Hace mucho que no me impactan de esta manera, sigan así!!!
F A N T A S T I C.....Just Wonderfully performed. Words aren't enough for all of you. Bringing back REAL MUSIC WITH UNDERSTANDABLE WORDS and SOUNDS is what the WORLD needs. Thank You. Music is the GLOBAL LANGUAGE.
@DJ Hayes They have to be getting leads and pointers from older folks and associates or their management. All these tunes go way, way back and these players would have been not yet born or just kids. Whoever is the brain trust for material selection obviously deserves a lot of credit. Yes, they had to learn and mimic the original artist, but part of the beauty relates to the high quality of the material.
I've read that Con and Darren have said they pick songs that take them back to a time before mortgages and kids. They always bring back memories for me
@IJK I've got 15 years on you, so my time is more limited going forward, but we too enjoyed and listened to this stuff when it went down and knew it was quality material/delivery....by the original artists. The local group of yours in Aussie-Land is great; they are talented, and wish I was there to hear/see them live. Have fun, and be well.
At this Level of large scale performance, no hit will resist to this band ! I'm in love with their high pitched voices. R.I.P Robin, Maurice GIBB, you'll always be in our hearts and memories.
Great job guys! I always get a little teary eyed hearing this song because of how deeply personal it is to me. My grandmother loved Barbra Streisand so much. Throughout her battle with dementia, we would play her some of her favorite songs, and when this song came on she would smile from ear to ear. My Grandma passed away in January 2021, but hearing this would have made her so happy all over again. Thank you so much. ❤
The perfection of Melissa and Darren’s harmonies. Love this song so much. Beautiful arrangement by con. The addition of the guitar solo is magic, (I suspect Stefan hauk magic).
being from Montreal, which is just on the opposite side of the earth (!), proud to see Steve Todd wearing a Montréal t-shirt! You guys are so outstanding!
I really like this band there so versatile. I like every single one of the members. If they ever came to my area, I would jump to go see them in a minute.
I can’t imagine anything more difficult than taking on Barbara Streisand and Barry Gibb….but Melissa and Darren nail it. I love the sound of this song.
I never get tired of listening to this. The vocals are tight and musicians are awesome!!! I just can't get over how well she sings...Babs would be proud!!! 😄👍❤
Fact: An extremely difficult song to cover, given the unique voices of Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb HSCC: Hold my beer 🍺 When you come to UA-cam for the original, but then you find that HSCC has done a version and you end up here instead!!! Melissa McCaig, voice of an angel, Darren you solidly held your own, and Stefan Hauk you stole the show, making that precise guitar part look so effortless... Well played all...
Mi más grande reconocimiento para los excelentes músicos, pues han demostrado una vez más su gran profesionalismo, que saben realmente del arte de hacer buena música, maravilloso arreglo para esta gran canción!! Muchas Felicitaciones!1
Can't overestimate just how important this crew has been during our Covid lockdown in Melbourne. Amazing productions and top musicianship. Always feel better having listened and watched a track. Thanks
Wow....incredible vocals! Streisand and Gibb are two voices that are damn near impossible to cover! Let alone to cover, blend, and do justice to this classic.....Fantastic!
Darren you have just become my favorite singer bro you have an absolutely amazing set of pipes, I am from Isreal originally from South Africa I knew of John Farnham but you my friend put him to shame , and your personality is just on bro ....thanx
Watching a lot of HSCC and their talent individually and as a group is second to none. I must say I really think Steve Todd is the unsung hero. The inclusion of his percussion section really adds to the depth of every performance. It’s very subtle but really is the icing on the cake. Bravo!
Dammit I have become such a huge fan of Hindley Street Country Club! you guys are so freakin amazing! I can't get enough of all of your videos! you are all amazing musicians!!!! Bravo!!!!
ok.. first time watching Melissa sing... got chills listening to you girl. Haunting vocal of a classic Barbara duet. The entire performance was perfection. Stefan, I'm such a giggly-girl fan of your no-look amazing solo work... damn son! Con, there would be no HSCC without your bass, just wouldn't be. Gotta say Darren you more than held your own with Melissa, great vocal! We will get you to the US. When this Covid crap is behind us, your band must play on US soil. I will be there!!!
This is ridiculously great. Melissa McCaig is a superstar and the harmonies are fantastic. You guys deserve to be on the world's stage. PLEASE visit the UK for gigs soon!
I've never heard another singer sound that much like Streisand before..this lady is amazing.
A beautiful homage to an amazing duet
She's good. She's just perfect
I have literally said the same thing but my comment gets deleted.
Sensational!...yes anyone would think you were listening to Barbara Streisand!
Nice to hear this song
Sounds like a studio recording, can't believe this is a live performance? Such precision in musicianship and sound mixing. This band is simply outstanding.
I hope they getting work as a session band ! All these cats get it ! Can't believe I am now a fan of a coverband 😜

Check our Judith Trinitje from Netherlands for this song with Alain Clarke in the Best Zengers 2018 competition
Not hanging with Streisand BETTER, MUCH BETTER.
@@ronmeidlinger249 She's clearer like a younger Streisand.
Her voice is slightly operatic. Amazing.
There's loads of awesome Unsigned Artistes, but we normally people aren't allowed to get the sane recognition as the celebrities.
Barry Gibb and Barbra Streisand would be very proud of this cover of their classic duet.
This wonderful collaboration shouldn't even attempt a Streisand cover, that would be outrageous. But they did, and dare I say they matched, if not improved upon the original. Incredible. Thankyou so much.
The guitar solo does not exist on original. It is amazing. Great job Stefan Hauk!!
the female vocalist is incredible; terrific control, doesn't oversing it, just delivers beautiful sound.
@@blackisblack22 DRUMS AND INTRUMENTS TOO LAUD THAN THE VOICE LOW SENSIBILITY DAMN

Yes, they had to learn and mimic the original artist, but part of the beauty relates to the high quality of the material.
I've read that Con and Darren have said they pick songs that take them back to a time before mortgages and kids. They always bring back memories for me
@IJK I've got 15 years on you, so my time is more limited going forward, but we too enjoyed and listened to this stuff when it went down and knew it was quality material/delivery....by the original artists. The local group of yours in Aussie-Land is great; they are talented, and wish I was there to hear/see them live. Have fun, and be well.
AMAZING !!! Ms. Mel McCaig, other than her extraordinary natural gift, her BEAUTIFUL classical voice training shines through!!!... Just BEAUTIFUL !!!
Maybe i've said it before but that guitar solo is priceless. Melissa your voice, pure gold.
At this Level of large scale performance, no hit will resist to this band !
I'm in love with their high pitched voices.
R.I.P Robin, Maurice GIBB, you'll always be in our hearts and memories.
Shockingly good guitar play by Stefan. Amazing...
Everything this band does always compliments the original great effort keep them coming all done so well.....
Great job guys! I always get a little teary eyed hearing this song because of how deeply personal it is to me.
My grandmother loved Barbra Streisand so much. Throughout her battle with dementia, we would play her some of her favorite songs, and when this song came on she would smile from ear to ear.
My Grandma passed away in January 2021, but hearing this would have made her so happy all over again. Thank you so much. ❤
The perfection of Melissa and Darren’s harmonies. Love this song so much. Beautiful arrangement by con. The addition of the guitar solo is magic, (I suspect Stefan hauk magic).
Can't seem to get enough of HSCC. Just wow. Love their wide range of musical selections and covers.
being from Montreal, which is just on the opposite side of the earth (!), proud to see Steve Todd wearing a Montréal t-shirt! You guys are so outstanding!
I really like this band there so versatile. I like every single one of the members. If they ever came to my area, I would jump to go see them in a minute.
Me too!

I can’t imagine anything more difficult than taking on Barbara Streisand and Barry Gibb….but Melissa and Darren nail it. I love the sound of this song.
I don't know how many times I have heard this song by this band...I just love it
I never get tired of listening to this. The vocals are tight and musicians are awesome!!! I just can't get over how well she sings...Babs would be proud!!! 😄👍❤
Just when you know they've done all the good stuff already then comes this. Great vocals and that lead guitar is just fantastic.
Fact: An extremely difficult song to cover, given the unique voices of Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb
HSCC: Hold my beer 🍺
When you come to UA-cam for the original, but then you find that HSCC has done a version and you end up here instead!!! Melissa McCaig, voice of an angel, Darren you solidly held your own, and Stefan Hauk you stole the show, making that precise guitar part look so effortless... Well played all...
Mi más grande reconocimiento para los excelentes músicos, pues han demostrado una vez más su gran profesionalismo, que saben realmente del arte de hacer buena música, maravilloso arreglo para esta gran canción!! Muchas Felicitaciones!1
Daum! Where are you finding all this stunning talent? She does a fantastic Barbra Streisand. Great job by all!!!👏👏👏👏
Can't overestimate just how important this crew has been during our Covid lockdown in Melbourne. Amazing productions and top musicianship. Always feel better having listened and watched a track. Thanks
You nailed that one Mate, soothes the soul, HSCC tunes certainly at the Top.
Wow....incredible vocals! Streisand and Gibb are two voices that are damn near impossible to cover! Let alone to cover, blend, and do justice to this classic.....Fantastic!
Streisand is one of the greatest of all time, but this lady offers an AMAZING example of how close to perfection you can come! HSCC is ALWATS AMAZING!
What a breathtaking rendition! The transposing for the guitar solo at 3:22 was a delicious surprise. He made the song sound so new.
Love you guys Its almost unfair that there is so much talent in Adelaide GBY
Tremendous song choice...... tough song to sing properly, killer vocals. Congrats.
100% - incredible band.... vocals off the charts great
Sam McNally
Cheers Sam 🙏
This is a chop buster vocally!❤❤ Sweet lead work..
the more I listen to it, the more I like it. The drummer and his choruses are perfect. The band sounds like Heaven
Darren you have just become my favorite singer bro you have an absolutely amazing set of pipes, I am from Isreal originally from South Africa I knew of John Farnham but you my friend put him to shame , and your personality is just on bro ....thanx
Thanks 🙏
This is awesome, the vibe is something else , love her voice love his voice, what a duet😍
Wow... their voices are incredible!😮😮😮
Depuis Paris. La perfection, quelle voix 😍, j' Adooooooreee.
J'ai découvert ce groupe par hasard et je suis complètement Fan.
Truly a superb rendition of this song. The duet just transported me to another place and time. Thank you.
Ridiculous how good these guys are, I never tire of watching their songs. You cannot improve on this level.
Watching a lot of HSCC and their talent individually and as a group is second to none. I must say I really think Steve Todd is the unsung hero. The inclusion of his percussion section really adds to the depth of every performance. It’s very subtle but really is the icing on the cake. Bravo!
I'm addicted to this band. Quality of the sound is just so high.
Dammit I have become such a huge fan of Hindley Street Country Club! you guys are so freakin amazing! I can't get enough of all of your videos! you are all amazing musicians!!!! Bravo!!!!
Me too.... great band..... shout out here from Lucena City Philippines
Indeed
ok.. first time watching Melissa sing... got chills listening to you girl. Haunting vocal of a classic Barbara duet. The entire performance was perfection. Stefan, I'm such a giggly-girl fan of your no-look amazing solo work... damn son! Con, there would be no HSCC without your bass, just wouldn't be. Gotta say Darren you more than held your own with Melissa, great vocal!
We will get you to the US. When this Covid crap is behind us, your band must play on US soil. I will be there!!!
Very kind of Rick. Thank you sir 🙏🙏
I love this song..I had never heard it before HSCC..Thanks all..another awesome guitar sola by Sefan....He makes it so easy..Love you all..
Amazingly done. Her voice is beautiful! I'm so speechless with this cover. Each and everyone of you guys are doing and amazing cover, spotted on!
This is ridiculously great. Melissa McCaig is a superstar and the harmonies are fantastic. You guys deserve to be on the world's stage. PLEASE visit the UK for gigs soon!
