Those who only know their disco era music are missing out on 90% of their music catalog. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some late 70s Bee Gees-it was the first of their music I was introduced to and it’s what made me a fan. But what has kept me a fan is their ability to reinvent themselves without losing what made it special in the first place, and that, in my opinion-is their beautiful harmonies and melodies. Nobody does it better.

[@Scuderia_Fan]

You're absolutely right!

[@francisxray9900]

@@Scuderia_Fan I agree in every point. That's always been their strength's. Also to be fearless and curious about new path's.

Another song with Barry and Robin singing together and their voices are almost indistinguishable. Mo adds some nice counterpoints. Barry didn't get flowers. Aww.

They could have been talking about their own lives. From humble beginnings they stayed ordinary, grounded and so down to earth. They looked gorgeous in this video. Love them. Great marathon weekend Chad. Thanks x

[@Zlata1313]

Agree!

[@eh-i1841]

They were never ordinary,though,were they.

[@miriamkirk7293]

@@eh-i1841 you're right, they were never ordinary. I suppose I meant that you could meet these guys on the street and they would stop and talk to you with no airs and graces. They were extraordinary songwriters, singers and performers but always had time for their fans. There's a video of them in a market place in a town here in the U.K. busking, part of a tv program. Dressed in jeans and t-shirts they stood together like they usually did and sang a medley of their songs. Just like any other ordinary buskers. It was all for fun and they did make a few quid which went to charity. Even in all their fame and fortune they had time to sing for the public without a fee. Ordinary but extraordinary guys at the same time.

[@kwarnock8151]

Yes...i read that Barry was surprised ,,see his eyebrows rise? when a fan ran across the stage to give both Robin and Mo flowers. Robin laid them by this fret and Mo kept cradling them while he played. Thank you Chad!!! I really enjoyed this song!!

[@Pamsmith59]

Yes, Barry the consumate professional keeps right on singin'!

[@jackielh1]

"Ordinary lives" what a wonderful song, Thanks Chad for showing the world they were more than just a "disco band" so talented. They loved soul & RB music, where the falsetto was used. They enjoyed The Stylistics, Smokey Robinson, Frankie Valle and many others.

[@Heaven-im5kl]

I loved this song. They started their 1989 concert in Melbourne with this song. Even though there was some disco in the concert by then it was gaining in popularity again. They are still amazing.

[@Zlata1313]

I never tire of watching the dvd of that concert!❤✔

[@allisons3663]

This was such a strong track from the "One" album and should have been released as a single in America. Note: The drum sounds are played by Don Henley from The Eagles.

[@eaccristo]

They were Phenomenal. Nice of Mo to hold the gift of flowers. He was very thoughtful.

[@gaylaliles4095]

I can't thank you enough for reacting to this request. It was well worth the wait. I think this is one of the best live versions of this. This was done in Germany and Germany loved the brothers. The 3 were each given bouquets of flowers but MO held onto his throughout the performance. Love Barry's smile early on when someone walked in front of them on stage. The brothers were so talented, gifted and yet so humble and gracious.

[@gloriamaryhaywood2217]

Barry, for some reason, didn't recieve any flowers! I bet he was glad not to have, as there was NO place to put them, and that woman handed the flowers to Robin and Mo just as the song begins! #WTH?😁 That's why you see Barry doing that Hilarious eye roll as she strolls past with flowers! Too funny!!🤣

[@kathleendewey5347]

​​@@gloriamaryhaywood2217wonder what the date of this performance was? Could have been December 22nd , the twins birthday and that is why they received the flowers and not Barry. I think that knowing how Mo was, he probably didn't want to drop the flowers on the floor and make the woman feel like he didn't appreciate them. I think it's sweet and very thoughtful that he didn't drop them.

[@laurieshreffler5028]

Chad you are the King of Gibb Brothers reactors. Thank you for giving them the positive credit and attention they deserve!!!!

[@bassboybazza]

The opening song from one of their greatest albums, ‘ONE’. The boys at their very best.

Our Dear Chad, I must share with you, how much I appreciate your enthusiasm and excitement for The Bee Gees and their diversified music. It's exciting reliving the First Time Experience of hearing the various Bee Gees songs and videos once again through your experience, reviews and reactions, Your are absolutely the best at this. Your entro to "Ordinary Lives" was absolutely one of your best!!!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for your time and interest devoted to your Weekend Marathons with The Bee Gees. You take me back to a place in time long gone, with the music by The Bee Gees. Bravo Chad, my hat goes off to you Chad.

[@annettelane]

Yes its a shame 5hey got neglected over the disco era .. They had so many awesome songs pre and post disco .Ive been listening to them for over 50 yrs they are part of my everyday life

[@danielnavarro4085]

I was at the One for All concert in Los Angeles. My first Bee Gees concert. Love this song. It could be thought of as a song about Andy.

[@janicetrimmell6897]

I recognized this video as soon as you brought it up. A lucky person got those flowers up on stage. Robin gently puts his down, and precious Mo acts spontaneously and keeps them with him, tucked into his coat. Did you love the look on Barry's face when she went by? I love this song. Now that is some perfect unison, really perfect. It just makes the outstanding harmony even more wonderful to hear. They are all in such strong voice, and this magnificent song gets me every time. It bears repeating. There is nothing wrong with disco. It was great music and very fun for dancing and moving, but they have done SO much more. You are right they constantly evolved and stayed true to their craft. Robin characterized this song as a mixture of British type folk, soul and rock. Oh, and Robin wrote in the notes for Tales from the Brothers Gibb, that the song is not autobiographical, it is about two lovers from different backgrounds, who because of peer pressure, have to escape. No matter what story they wanted to tell, it is extraordinary. "One" is magic.

[@gloriamaryhaywood2217]

Have you had a chance to see the interview which follows on the heels of this performance? Robin gets quite perturbed when some reporter in the audience questions them about the meaning of this song!😉

[@janicetrimmell6897]

@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 Yes, I think I know the one you are talking about. The interviewer says something like "reviewers are saying what in the world do the Bee Gees know about ordinary lives? That starts it out. First Barry gets a little huffy about reviewers in general and Robin really gets animated about how the song is not autobiographical, and how all songwriters don't HAVE to be writing about themselves if they are good songwriters. Barry is still a little huffy, and pipes in that even if people wanted to make the song about them, their lives WERE ordinary not ARE ordinary. But even so, they quickly pivot to their wonderful, polite selves and are so open to giving thoughtful answers.

[@gloriamaryhaywood2217]

@@janicetrimmell6897 😉 Yep. That's the interview alright! Robin still has his frigging flowers with him and he gets annoyed cause he's trying to chunk them down on that table in front of them, but those flowers have a secret revenge of their own, as they keep clinging to his clothing!!😜 Somebody had said that Barry probably told Robin to pick those flowers up off the floor and carry them to the interview, as Robin was usually oblivious to stuff like that!Lol. Once Robin was triggered it was hard to shut him down, even though Barry tried to diffuse that loaded question about Ordinary Lives. Robin was indeed getting bent out of shape! Did you notice the way he tossed his shoulders and head while throwing a look of disdain!? 😂 I gotta say that I just love Robin, love him to Bits!! But even Mo has stated that his twin Robin could be a 'bit Moody' at times!!😜😎

Yes, Chad, disco was only a very small part of their vast catalog as you well know by now. They were so much more with over 5 decades of wonderful music. I can't even imagine a world without their music in it. Just loved this performance of "Ordinary Lives". They were all cute as a button and looked very happy that night. Thank you for reacting to it and for such a wonderful weekend and you know I'm already waiting patiently for next weekend!

[@debbienewton909]

They never were "disco", it was the radio stations and public who gave that label. They called themselves blue-eyed soul :)

Glad you've finally gotten to this one! ❤ one of my faves from their later albums.

[@Scuderia_Fan]

This is a great song. This shows that the Bee Gees were able to create songs without the Falsetto sound that many associate with the Bee Gees. Don't get me wrong I love the Falsetto songs, but this shows there's so much more to them. And best of all, it still has that Bee Gees sound to it. Thanks Chad for another Bee Gees weekend. Have a good week.

[@gloriamaryhaywood2217]

Both Mo and Robin receives flowers right as they are about to begin singing! You'll notice that Robin quickly drops his softly to the floor. But poor Mo didn't know what to do with his flowers as he was playing bass guitar so his hands were already occupied! So Mo just starts plucking the strings while still clutching those flowers!, and I was dying laughing as you can see that the flowers are being shredded to pieces!!😂 Mo finally figures out to just stick the darn things inside his jacket vest!LOL! I don't know WHY that young lady decided to give them the flowers literally right as the song starts!?🤔 But Zoom in and take a close look at Barry's eyes👀 as she strolls past delivering those bouquets!🤣HaHa!!! (Btw...Yup, I also really like this song!!😉😎)

This song is about their lives before fame. And their dreams of making it big. I've seen them talk about it.

[@francisxray9900]

True to themselves! Again you nailed it, Chad. That's been in Germany's greatest TV-show, 'Wetten Dass'. Look at Barry's eyes when the song started. His view followed a lady, which braught the flowers to Maurice. Many, many times, Bee Gees visited Germany and had lots of TV-apperiances in great shows. True, humble and nonselfish musicians deserve true fans. And through every period of their long career, they found them in Germany!

[@gloriamaryhaywood2217]

Yes, indeed. Both Germany and Japan loved The BeeGees. They always had a strong following and a great reception in those two countries!!😉

Truly a beautiful song and like you stated the harmonies are totally incredible. They really can sing any general and they always sound amazing. I cannot speak highly enough of the Bee Gees. Thank you for another great reaction and I enjoyed it so.

[@stephaniebuie2750]

YES!! Kings of harmony so true!! You and Mo look great in your hats! Yes it would have been cool to be there front row. The lyrics regarding ordinary people to me speak to their early background. Chad do you have their documentaries? They take you back to their childhood which was very ordinary other than their musical talents. They grew up in very modest environment and their dream was to be famous one day. If you would like one of the documentaries I would be happy to send to you. Their history is so interesting. I loved learning and listening to all of them and now I’m living The Bee Gees. Haha thank you for fun weekend Chad. Been snowing here so fun to watch all cuddled up on couch with coffee, blanket and you! :) Thanks again and enjoy the remainder of your weekend!

[@JoAnna-cv2yz]

I first heard this song when I bought and watched the DVD of their 1989 Melbourne concert. The opening was amazing: all three had their backs to the audience, there was some mysterious synthesizer music, and fog was rising all around them. It was as if the gods had landed. Then, as musical director, Maurice raised his arm and sharply cut it down to signal the start of the music. A dramatic, magical moment. Then, starting with Maurice, each turned towards the audience and began playing their parts, either instruments or vocals, or both. The song itself has become one of my favorites. It really moves me.

[@jodevries5801]

This was totally fun with our guy's, thanks again Chad. I can't hardly wait till next weekend, have a nice week to come.....bye bye🍀

[@KCoda1248]

You hit the nail on the head. Beautiful song I didn’t know. Ashamed they got pigeonholed into the disco thing. But that was the sign of the times. I know people who like the BGs but don’t want the falsetto on EVERY song and there are those who just got sick of disco not really them, but they were the poster boys. I loved this! Kings of Harmony? You betcha!

Wettan Dass was a German presenter who presented Saturday night Television game show with celebrities pitting themselves against each other using props stunts and such. I think this is why the stage was made up like that. The BeeGees took part in s few of Wettan's shows. You would know him if you saw him - wild blonde hair, a huge man, he must be about 7ft tall, Maurice and Robin come up just past his waist. Crazy looking and his Sat night TV show was crazy too, hence so much going on on stage..... I do like this BeeGees song, I wouldn't go searching for it but it's pleasant enough.
