BEE GEES Reaction Tragedy LIVE (FREAKING AMAZING!) | Dereck Reacts

[@allanjohnson763]

OMG to think that Tragedy, Too Much Heaven and Shadow Dancing were all written on the same day is mind blowing.

[@nancyl7007]

Bee Gees are a gift from Heaven. They wrote these songs. Barry is a musical genius. Their music is the best ever and will last forever!

[@haroldlee1989]

The BeeGees were exceptional artists; to write 2 number 1 songs in a day; the arrangement is brillant; their voices blend so well; they never disappoint

[@kraigburningham4288]

Let what Maurice said simmer for a moment and realize that they wrote Tragedy and Too Much Heaven in ONE afternoon. "Hi honey, how was your day at work?". "Fine. We wrote two songs that will be legendary and still being discovered and popular in 2020".

[@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579]

👍💕😂 Well said - and in a very funny way, too!

[@Terrahoskins]

RIGHT?!!!

[@lisaarmes234]

First album I ever bought I was around ten years old and had to save for weeks to get it Was worth the wait and money

[@dellaclark8665]

Hahaha!

[@lindasikorski7605]

SO TRUE!!!

[@roden70]

I'm a bit sad with the realization that only Barry is still alive in 2022. But their legacy is timeless.

[@keithbell4744]

Thank you Dereck from Africa

[@kristinakorpi6979]

They changed their sound with the times. Their song "You Win Again" from 1987 was AWESOME, and their ballad "For Whom the Bell Tolls" from around 1995 was EPIC!!! Listen when you get a chance - you will NOT be disappointed!!

[@LuckyDawgProductionsModerator]

You Win Again has become one of my absolute favorites! Love the foot stomp vibe of it. Amazing!

[@bobbymadera3234]

BOY I CAN SEE YOU NEVER HEARD SINGER LIKE THIS CALIBER BEFORE LIKE THE BEE GEES THE BEST BAND EVER STEP IN EARTH 🌎PERIOD NOT QUESTIONS ASK.THE BEE GEES ARE THE BEST SINGERS EVER STEP IN ANY SCENERY

Did you know they were very popular in the 60s. The "disco" sound was their comback

We had So Much Fun ,in The Clubs Dancing💃👯💃

[@Triumph-nz8pt]

You can thank Maurice (pronounced Morris) for the rocking bass lines in the majority of their songs ie: Jive Talkin' ..you have to see that one. He was a very underrated bass player in my opinion and all around nice guy.

[@WelshAmethystGirl087]

The beegees one night only in Vegas is my fav all time live show Olivia Newton John was in attendance they also performed with Celine Dion immortality

[@geraldhostettler4527]

6 consecutive #1 Billboard hits. They dominated the late 1970s!!

[@danrowden3898]

The BeeGees were not a disco band. They jumped on the disco bandwagon in the late 70s because of its popularity and they did so very, very successfully. They don't really belong in any specific genre and it's probably legit to say they were their own genre. Fabulous band.

[@nighthawkde4522]

When they were approached to come up with some songs for “Fever”, they already had these songs written for their own album. So I guess that they already had the sound and with the release of Fever, it merged into the Disco era. They themselves never considered themselves a Disco band.

[@ruthanderson1758]

I really like seeing today's young people enjoying the great music that was the 70's. The Bee Gees were an awesome group.

[@DUGGER1947]

The guy at the end that Dereck said he didn't know who he was, was none other than the legendary Sir George Henry Martin. He was an English record producer, arranger, composer, conductor, and musician. He was commonly referred to as the "Fifth Beatle" because of his extensive involvement in each of the Beatles' original albums.

[@micheladonofrio2285]

They are not just known for disco. They had monster world-wide fame from '68-72.

[@tonyallen4265]

The studio version is even better.

[@1DJSkittles]

The studio version is more Disco

[@kalliopeart]

Studio vers Is more legendary!!

[@stever8293]

I agree the studio version is much better.

[@TheBohemianAngels]

I agree completely and it shows how they actually recorded the original. The higher notes reached in 1979 were really nicer than this version and that's why Barry's falsetto isn't quite the same as the 1979 version. I highly recommended.

[@theadorebundy4514]

Lol but this is live and decades later.... So i find this more impressive.... So calm down Karen...

[@patticrichton1135]

THAT "guy" was GEORGE MARTIN the BEATLES PRODUCER for their ENTIRE CAREER AND was RESPONSIBLE FOR SIGNING THEM TO THEIR RECORD CONTRACT IN 1962 Martin is now considered "the 5th BEATLE , sadly he passed away on March 8, 2016, His son Giles has taken over George's duties as producer/arranger for the Beatles LOVE show in Los Vegas and anything else that has to do with the Beatles catalogues and their solo works that have been remastered and sold in deluxe box sets.

[@quinnlafleur6533]

Have to share for a laugh…. My mother-in-law thought the were saying “Hercules”. And singing it proudly! God bless her !!!

[@beegeesbuster1]

The Guitarist is Alan Kendall which was with The Bee Gees so long that he is considered The Fourth Bee Gee Also the last guy commenting is George Martin who was Manager/Producer for The Beatles.

[@sandeannabeckker6788]

You mean the 5th BeeGee. There were already 4 brothers. Barry, Maurice, Robin, & Andy.

[@beegeesbuster1]

@@sandeannabeckker6788 No, as Andy never was a part of The Bee Gees

[@DenmarkNete]

@@sandeannabeckker6788 Andy was very much younger than Berry, Maurice and Robin. Andy had his own carer. Though he very much wanted to be part of the Bee Gees. He did join them at a concert.

[@lindasikorski7605]

Saw them. in person. Even better then video's. Their love to their fans is absolute.

[@Raeperk57]

In their younger concert venues, there were explosions when the word tragedy first was heard.

[@dixiehurley3599]

My dearest young man they were not only disco but rocks ballads you name it they even wrote islands in the stream the country song that Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton recorded . They do not fit in any one box they are amazing talented wow the socks off of you !

[@susanjarvinen7322]

I loved this song when it first came out in 1979 and still love it now ❤

[@patriciacloix71]

OMG une de mes préférées nostalgie souvenirs inoubliable mes années folles je peu l'écouter tout les jours merci Dereck pour ta bonne analyse excellent wouah 👏👍😍🙏💖

[@germain1947]

Hi Derek, like your reaction ...1997 in Las Vegas...A & E one to two hours... the Bee Gees look different but the sound is even better .....glad you young people found this music what it does is tell you what real love is about ...what real music is about with all the false crap around it today.... shows you what hard work does .... pays off.... when you start doing this when your 12 and you still do it when you're 60 or so.... these three guys are some get down funky dudes always was always will be... thank you!

[@lisadouglas8828]

They started performing as children. They had a very long career, only a brief part of it was disco.

[@catleeper]

Amazing they can sing this song this well live and years later. Studio version is awesome.

[@audreydakin8130]

It just seemed in the late 70’s they had a hit every month! Glad to have experienced all of it!

[@suzannescriber6073]

You are my absolute favorite. Love your appreciation of the Magical Bee Gees. Could you please play will you still love me. I was privileged to see them live and it was TOTALLY AWESOME.

[@janetbarker1216]

Thanks Dereck

[@rebeccamunoz2948]

I love your reaction, have loved The Bee Gees for over 40 years, yes I’m that old lol❣️

[@Terrahoskins]

Right there with ya, sis!

[@LuckyDawgProductionsModerator]

Over 50 years for me. I just turned 67 and loved them since I was 16. Listen to their music EVERY SINGLE DAY.

[@htbald1]

The studio version is amazing. Bee Gees Gold is a must have to any music lover.

[@stevehulse4005]

The guy talking in the video at the end of the song was George Martin the producer of the Beatles records and sometimes described as the “Fifth beatle” due to his involvement in the production of their albums and singles

[@nicolegodillon7033]

I love this ...bee gees...my your years !!!

[@Triumph-nz8pt]

Imagine how absolutely thrilled the studio musicians must be to be playing alongside these amazing legends. No wonder the other guy (not Mo of course) on keyboards is going nuts! Throw me that guitar please, I would love to do the same!!

[@LilFireFox]

I'm so glad you like it! Seriously! My mom grew up with this music and she passed it to me, so I LOVE the Bee Gee's and this is my most FAVORITE songs from them.

[@kathyjohnston-keane2623]

Nights on Broadway is another great one (pre Saturday Night Fever). Early falsetto for the group. I recommend the live version from Midnight Special. In this live version, you will see that all the brothers can do falsetto. The high parts are sung by Maurice (pronounced "Morris") during live performances because Barry is singing lead with a lower voice. Often Barry and Robin sing together in unison as a single lead voice, with Maurice doing the fantastic harmonies. He instinctively knew exactly what to add to create their beautiful rich sound.

[@carmeloruiz6021]

The record version is even more powerfull. And the voices are dramatic as the song should be. Because it was near 80's they made it so rock. You're gonna love it as well.

[@NoMoneyG]

OMG! I turned 50 this year & remember this as a kid & love the Bee Gees! How can you not? Thanks Dereck!

[@billiejohnson8468]

They have been around since the 60s. They have had hits in every decade and they had written the songs for Saturday night fever before they knew what disco was! They were asked and they gave them the songs they had already written. Disco is great but they are known for their writing and making hits for themselves and others in every genre of music. Simply one of the best song writers, singers and entertainers ever!

[@laurieshreffler5028]

Those songs were going to be on their next studio album until Stigwood grabbed them for the SNF Soundtrack!

[@scarygazeplaysmsp1825]

They were the best! Adapted to so many different decades and kept the hits pouring in! Watch closer than close, Maurice sings lead

[@annadipietro4379]

We enjoy your reaction to our music, we all rocked out to all of this great music. Keep it going.

[@barbarasumby325]

Hi, just picked up on this video. Perfect as always. Good is an understatement, amazing YES!!! More please ❤️😷

[@cmetzger78]

Dereck, this is a great Bee Gees song, but I agree with some of the others who have commented saying that the studio version will really blow you away. Do yourself a favor and check that out! Great job as always! ~Chris

[@carolclements1275]

Sweetie, you do a great reaction.🥂💞💞💞

[@thomasrichards6245]

Dana says- My bestie had this record when we were kids. We'd play this song and jump back and forth from her bed to her sister's bed a few feet away, every time they sang the word 'tragedy'. Not too difficult at first, but by the last third of the song, we'd get quite a workout. By the end, we'd fall down on the beds, laughing our heads off, and trying to breathe. To this day, whenever I hear this song playing in the store, or an elevator, and I get the biggest urge to jump on a bed. :-)

[@DanielVegaHN]

To all the people saying that this version is inferior to the studio version, I just want to point out that the Bee Gees are so good, that even with this version (which I think it's great), they can cause reactions like Dereck's on minute 2:53. And just FYI, Barry isn't hitting higher notes on the studio version, both versions are on the same key. Great reaction!

[@pookieglass5818]

Hi,George Martin produced their records.Brian Epstein was their manager.Robert Stigwood,who was the Bee Gees manager,was a partner in Epstein management business.

[@Christine-Golden66]

You need to watch the video Making of Tragedy by the BeeGeeS. Barry makes the explosion 💥 sound into the microphone himself. It’s an awesome video!

[@opicatchu2164]

[@franciscobaltodano279]

Yes...vegas(1 night only)....1997 My favorite concert.....they were still in their full prime

[@stevetournay3731]

It was quite the era, wasn't it. These guys writing "Tragedy" and "Too Much Heaven" in a day; Dolly Parton doing the same thing slightly earlier with "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You"...

[@nataliaramirez2801]

[@JulieRichardson]

I think this is my favourite Bee gees song ever x

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

I bought this BG's song as a single on a 45rpm record as a kid I loved it so much. The Studio Version is exquisite.. I like that you let some of the interview go..

[@vonyroces7878]

This track has a rock edge in it. the guitar work really sounds well thought of..

[@willswomble7274]

'I don't know who that guy is...' Dereck you truly have a LOT to learn! Try Wiki, 'the fifth Beatle' huh?

[@fifimsp]

Oh, those days when you write multiple number one hits in an afternoon, am I right. LOL.

[@jerrycote659]

I love how much you get into The Bee Gees who have some of the most iconic hits in pop history. As much as this live version is such a good performance, you really HAVE to listen to the studio version because it is epic and an explosion of melodic and harmonic sound. And you should consider doing a reaction to a later in their career song “You Win Again” which was a huge hit in the UK going to #1. Sadly, did not hit big here in the US, which is unfortunate because it’s a gorgeous piece of pop music. There is an official video for the song too.

[@adam.4487]

It does have that disco beat that I love and miss a lot. :)

[@ahkiv6127]

You should hear the original, Barry hits higher notes and they last much longer! It's wild!

[@johng.8517]

Music like this doesn't get old. It's that good. Check out some music by YES one of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time and my favorite. Some good ones include "Roundabout", "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium". "Awaken", "Turn of the Century"... Loads of good ones.

[@HeatherMyfanwyTylerGreey]

The man you did not know was Sir George Martin who used to produce the Beetles. You can see a video of the making of Tragedy and the explosion in the studio online.

[@Tessiefaye]

I love the way you go in-depth and give us a little additional info about the group.

[@carlosazul2]

Studio version for sure miles away from this live where the voices of the group are not so on point, please give us the reaction to that studio version you will be even more fascinated and blown away! 🤯

[@trishafaulk2067]

They've done lots more than disco. Try "words" "to love somebody " "I've gotta get a message to you " "jive talkin " "too much heaven " "one" "love you inside out " "you win again " "man in the middle " "this is where I came in" "paying the price for love" so many more

[@ronneranthonylutasemais8923]

Very good!! React For whom the bell tolls live Bee Gees...

[@bgsstylemusic]

Just because you didn't know, this was recorded back in 1996. They changed the key, if you take a look at their 1997 ONO concert, it sounds different. anyway, you should react to an performance of that show, One Night Only 1997. It was one of their last DVDs and includes an amazing setlist with all of their hits. If you want to see a show with all of their greatest recordings, just take a look on that show.

[@streetangel69]

This is great music thanks

[@ramonabrd]

[@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579]

You can watch the guys (the clip is on KZbin...) in the studio, when Sir Barry first created "the shot" for the track "Tragedy" - while Robin and Maurice made jokes about it all (including their big brother's first attempt...)...

As wonderful as this live performance is, I think I prefer the original studio version just a little more. I'd be very curious to see how you feel about the studio version. Barry's vocals are a bit stronger (he was younger LOL). :-)

[@matmagix3845]

well the studio has the luxury of layered vocal tracks, such as you see on Too Much Heaven to accentuate the harmonies and the falsetto.

[@Nebocsid]

I actually prefer the One Night Only version. The acoustics and the audience add something more than this one being reviewed.
