BEE GEES - TRAGEDY [REACTION!!!]

[@lgeesim]

What a ride! Explosive! Thrilling!

[@karenlangley5912]

You can't drive slow with this song going.❤

[@GwenByrd-d4k]

I love your reactions to these songs.

[@jancrouch6577]

"Tragedy " is off the charts!!!

[@cdfdesantis699]

Pure fire from the guys! Thanks for your reaction.

[@beeseewill2407]

One thing I recommend for all BeeGees newbies is to read the lyrics.They had a way of putting that funky sound to some very telling and serious words.Absolutely great song writers.They were also great at sharing life lessons through their songs.Makes you sit back and take notice.

[@troypolk1156]

Lets see now, you've reacted to 6 songs.... only 1000 more to go so put your sneakers on it's one hell of a ride!

[@Pamsmith59]

And the older they got the more wisdom was included in their writing (more for us as listeners). Loved the early Bee Gees, but absolutely crazy about the post-Fever era of their music!

[@foots-qt4pk]

YES!! They had a way of putting to music the words we can't find to express some really deep truths.

[@starwind7041]

And that's why they are in the song writers hall of fame!!!

[@aletmartins6940]

You should watch the video of how the “explosion” sound was made, and their interaction in the studio. Fascinating.

[@sandradyer5956]

Yep, Barry did the explosion! Fantastic. Musical geniuses they are!

[@zimjun7]

I was just thinking of that one in their studio.. ha!

[@paulakrisell8646]

Who would had known? Amazing!!!

[@kathieovercash8414]

They wrote this song and Too Much Heaven in an afternoon and later that evening wrote Shadow Dancing. All three were number one hits.

[@kudabear4898]

The explosion in "Tragedy " is created by Barry making noises into the microphone.....back then they didn't have machines to create explosions.

[@kurtnagel3373]

I think you worded that incorrectly. Machines did do that. Ask the people from Hiroshima. Oh wait you can't nevermind

[@kittyplay9410]

​@@kurtnagel3373There is a making of video that does indeed show Barry making the explosion sound, by mouth, into the microphone. It was probably enhanced at some point, but that's how it started. Can't remember the exact name of the video, but it's here on youtube.

[@pamnaz2]

70s Disco Love!!

[@janicekelly6667]

You tell em Jesus died on that cross for US. I LOVE BEE GEES

[@guszea67]

This guy is real...

[@v.j.3029]

I literally died watching you dance with your chair!🤣😂😅😆

[@chab1rd155]

Dude. Barry the lead singer MADE that explosion sound with his voice. Look in the comments below. I think theres a video showing them in the studio and him doing it!!! 🙌

[@annyoung6560]

The lyrics and the sound from The Bee Gees will make your hair stand on end. Absolutely brilliant band . Sound of my childhood and the first record I ever bought , I was 11 years old.

[@anncrabtree894]

MY favorite

[@sandradyer5956]

You have entered the Bee Gee’s rabbit hole. There are so many more amazing songs performed and written by them. Fanny Be Tender is my fav!

[@foots-qt4pk]

Did you notice the opening lyrics? They are very illustrative the idea of the tragedy of losing your soul "Here I lie, in a lost and lonely part of town. Held in time in a world of tears I slowly drown. Going home, I just can't make it all alone" So he is lying in a bed and THEN he is going home still alone and empty. Hmmm...

[@cwasatko5601]

Give some love to Maurice and his bass on every song 💚

[@JM-zk9ou]

Most people don't recognize that he sings bass. He adds so much dimension to the songs

[@naturesounds-ib5dh]

Love their early hits: Lonely Days, To Love Somebody, Massachusetts, I Started a Joke, Words

[@aletmartins6940]

Love, love, love Words.

[@collinnicholasns]

I always liked how to mend a broken heart and rest your love

[@janwalters9724]

Devin, you are so much fun to watch. I'm a baby boomer/child of the 70s, and the Bee Gees have been the soundtrack of my life since! Listen to them everyday and I'm now 67!!

[@loristone9242]

I was 11 years old, and my Daddy took me to see the Bee Gees. It was the first concert on the Spirits Having Flown tour. It was in Texas at the Tarrant County Convention Center. June 28, 1979. I won't ever forget it. It is such a joy to see your reactions to them. I am going down the list in order.

[@cynthiaschade3889]

No question...too much heaven is my all time favorite Bee Gees song, although its hard to choose among so many!!!

[@aletmartins6940]

I have been a BeeGees fan since the sixties. I am the same age as the twins and was fascinated with the group’s talent, especially songwriting. I am now 71 and I am still discovering songs I had missed through the decades. Amazing talent.

[@carolinegilles9181]

Try: Massachusetts, Closer than close, Alone, One, Nights on Broadway (where Barry’s discovered his falsetto singing blame it on Nights on Broadway) Fanny, Jive Talking,First of May, New York Mining Disaster, Gotta got a Message to you, Living eyes, Mend a broken heart, Be who you are, Your love will save the world (unreleased 💎),I started a joke, For whom the bell toll, You win again... HUGE catalogue..! Toooooo many to name all..! By the way the dire sound, Barry’s did with his voice... No computer at the time...! Legendary icon, COLOSSAL,PHENOMENAL GENIUSES of music... Hard die fan of BG’s since I was 12... BG’s were music itself...!!!! 💔🙏🕊❤️🇬🇧💎🎸🎤🎼

[@dansweet6793]

My favorite song by them. They were ahead of thier time.

[@GwenByrd-d4k]

Its a tragidy that we dont have this kind of music anymore. Im glad i was born in 1955 so i got to hear all of the good music from back in the day.

[@timsparks4990]

If by "acting a fool" you mean being moved by the music Devin, THEN LET'S ALL ACT A FOOL! That my friend is what makes your channel so relatable to others! We love "honest" heart-felt reactions! I grew up with the BeeGees and happen to love their music, so it's nice to see the younger generation get into these songs. Keep those classics alive brother!

[@normacraig7894]

These guys are excellent singers and writers...Performers!! I'm so glad I got to see them the one time I did!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤

[@patrickjarvis6160]

OMG ! it's the Bee Gees! Why surprised! Lol

[@Amarantis]

The dancing with your chair moment got me laughing out loud, you are so fun!

[@georgemaster9979]

I discovered the Bee Gees from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, with Stayin' Alive the first track to play.Loved them ever since.

[@dp3396]

One of my favorite Gibb lyrics: “When the morning cries and you don’t know why” Does the morning cry??? Pop poetry at its best. The explosion was made with a combination of a vocal explosion by Barry - tripled, and an arm across the low keys on a piano or keyboard, fed into some kind of new mixing thing. My favorite Gibb album is usually whichever I am listening to at the time:) Please react to SPIRITS HAVING FLOWN.

[@Terri6868]

Suggest “I Started a Joke”. Robin sings. Man in the Middle “. Maurice sings Words” Berry sings 👍

[@christianpino1852]

Fun fact: Barry is the one that made that firework sound

[@kate89polishgirl31]

You are great!!! Thanks for all those Bee Gees reaction. Please do "Closer than Close" reaction with Maurice as a lead singer. He was always my favorite ❤️ Send you lots of love from Poland 🇵🇱❤️

[@lena-mariag.louis-charles3579]

There's a great clip on KZbin of these three Musical Geniuses working on this track. You'll get to watch them having a lot of fun, while creating their very own, special kind of Pure Magic... 💖💖💖

[@giovannib.9260]

Bee gees Happy ever after

[@melissacaddell2604]

This is my fav of their songs. I love it. They r the absolute greatest ever. Harmonies can't be touched.

[@thomaslucking-t1m]

just discovered and subscribed to your , i have loved all Bee Gees music since 1977, i am 62 white British man in mid England, and am going through your Bee Gees reactions , and have cried through them all, their music has got me through 2 divorces , one bad engagement . and through some troubled times late70's early 80's. Try "Wish you were here" track 8 from their 1989 "ONE" album dedicated to brother Andy, very soulful and beautiful .

[@efraengomez946]

I've been watching you do the videos on the Bee Gees and I love the way you do things you talk you have God in your heart God loves you keep doing the good work you do I love the Bee Gees I'm Fresno California God love

[@zimjun7]

They experimented with different types of EXPLOSIVE sounds....

[@dubivxler]

bee gees paying the price of love

[@vandoraginther6421]

I love the Bee Gees!! They have so many it's hard to choose just one. All the brothers sing lead but mostly Barry and Robin as for Maurice he plays instruments and sings. He sing lead on Closer than close a great song. Some early songs are... To Love Somebody.... Lonely Days.... Massachusetts... How do you Mend a Broken Heart.... I've just got to get a Message to you...Happy ever after...To Be or Not to Be. So so many songs in their catalog. Love your reaction I can see you enjoyed it as much as the fans.

[@supersarge1963]

I know most of your reactions are at least a year old, but I've just started watching, and I always look for you for the reactions because you are so real with it. Especially the BeeGees. So glad to see that younger generations are being exposed to what I grew up with.

[@lauracostello3153]

I'm so happy you went down the rabbit hole with the Bee Gees! They were popular when I graduated high school and I was a huge fan then as well as now! You are such a positive person with the spirit inside of you! Always stay that way!

[@annaakachile5537]

Lmao dude you have me rollen...... love your reactions ... I was so loving that time of my live I was 17 18 19 in the hight of disco. I lived in L A and bee gees was it... berry was my love.... lol I seen them in concert at dodger stadium the sprit tour.. classic... icons... thank you Devin for this good vibe. God bless

[@frodeapeland1442]

Good reaction! So far you have mostly listened to the Barry falsetto period between 1975 and 1979. The two other brothers (particularly Robin) sing lead too. To get an impression of what they also sound like I suggest: Robin:Bee Gees- For Whom The Bell Tolls, Maurice: Bee Gees-Lay It On Me and Barry: Bee Gees- Words (Live 1979) and 1974 Bee Gees- Mr. Natural (Complete & Good Sound)

[@mossy_hollow_creations]

I know this is 3 years old - but dropping a note to thank you for sharing your faith organically! I appreciate your thoughts, your reactions and will be sharing your channel with family and friends!! My 15 year old and 28 year old daughter are huge Bee Gee fans (and Journey as well) - as am I, we are thoroughly enjoying your reactions! Blessings to you and your family! May the Lord bless you and keep you!

[@juliefox1743]

There is a great little mini-documentary about the making of this song. It's really interesting to see the process My FAVORITE BeeGees song by the way is also their last song from 2001 I think. "This is where I came in" do the live version the official video tends to get blocked.

[@talltulip]

Are you referring to this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/amOwnGmFf5qNrbM

[@Bettyheart]

Lonely Days Lonely Nights,great song and Rest In Peace Andy and Maurice and Robin

[@ChuckHackney]

This is one of those essential Bee Gees songs. Question to fans: is this the song that Barry discovered he had this killer falsetto???? Just wondering cause sometime in the mid 70s he discovered that gift.

[@alanparker2789]

Best album for me is Saturday Night Fever. I was a teenager during the time the Bee Gee's where hitting their high and it was a magnificent sound to grow up to. My memories take we back to the roller skating rink in my small town, using this music to feel free and alive while skating and maybe woo that pretty girl you want to roller dance with. So glad your keeping this music alive and showing the younger generations what "real" music sounds like. Peace.

[@karenlangley5912]

I've loved the Bee Gees for a lot of years ❤️. I played "Wedding Song" at my wedding, but my favorite Bee Gees song is "Tragedy ". Lol.

[@monaguedon7656]

Please do their performance of " Nights on Broadway " the Midnight Special Version !! It is before the disco era and Barry's falsetto !! It is full of FUNK !! ❤❤

[@Pamsmith59]

Their early influences were Black R&B singers, yet their record company pushed them away from that direction -- such a shame. Yet that feeling still comes through in so much of what they wrote.

[@lt6134]

The BeeGees are the most eclectic group in history. Their sound/style changed many times over 5 decades. Everything you’ve done so far is just within 4 years. Can’t wait to see you venture before/after their disco yrs. Thanks for sharing!

[@helenstravis3834]

Barry made the sound of the explosion in the mic. The A and R guy had him go into the studio and do it again. He recorded it and used it throughout the song.

[@vickyrobertson3166]

I love your reactions. You make me smile and laugh.

[@GwenByrd-d4k]

You need to see the video where Barry is making that explosion sound with his mouth close to the microphone while they were recording this dong.

[@brendahipsher273]

Please react to Fanny be tender with my love...please do the live video version.... PLEASE!!!

[@tiffanysmith9131]

Devin did you know that the explosion sound in this song, Barry made that sound by cuffing the mic and making the sound with his mouth.The man is a musical genius..

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

It's IMPOSSIBLE not to move when this plays😂

[@toodlescae]

You should check out Andy Gibb too. Thicker Than Water, I Just Want To Be Your Everything and Shadow Dancing are my favorites.

[@maurajaneobrien4920]

I saw Andy Gibb during his Shadow dancing tour (?78/79)

[@Jan-u2x2r]

Devin love the way you talk about God and also love your comments on Bee Gees. You are the best.

[@rodb9275]

HOLY CRAP. You FELT it!!! Love it!!!! That was my absolute favorite reaction to this song, EVER. I definitely have to go back through your library. You are instantly one of my favs.

[@tanyadavis6921]

you have to watch this live its a totally different experience! i love how u are listening to all kinds of music like me! i listen to disco old school rap, r&b, soul ,country, alterative rock, hard rock heavy metal and i'm a 50 year old black woman from Chicago!

[@TheLobocantaore]

Damn Devin!!! are you for real????love it ,,,i love it ,,,love your enthusiasm,,,!!!yea baby, Bee Gees baby

[@lingoman1]

Not fireworks. Lightening strike. One of my favorite songs of theirs. Back in '79 I was at my best age and hitting the clubs every Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights. What a blast from my past!

[@coindesigner7477]

Oh Devin, I just found your site...you are delightful!!! ...Bless your heart 🥰

[@AlamoDame7]

EXCELLENT reaction for me, Devin!! Glad you did this one early.

[@eh-i1841]

Devin,your reactions are so funny.Love the Beegees,and love your reactions.I hope Barry looks at some of these videos,he’ll see how people born out of our generation,are loving the Beegees music.

[@helenstravis3834]

This song comes for you and holds you to the last note.

[@65presleychick]

Nights On Broadway from Midnight Special true live performance please. You'll like it😊

[@GrannyMetalheadTV]

You got yourself a new subscriber with your remark about loving God. Let's go Brandon! 🤘Rock On!🤘

[@wesleydowd8499]

You want to see them live

[@Christine-Golden66]

The explosion you hear is actually Barry making that sound into the studio mic. Check out the video of The Making of Tragedy behind the scenes. You’ll see him at the mic!

[@jeremycole3008]

my favorite bee gees song is probably one barry wrote for Kenny Rodgers called: "Eyes that See in the Dark" & maybe: "Living Eyes"

[@newt5694]

Tragedy was, is a disco song. It was awesome keeping up with the beat, and the lights flashing to the music.

[@lilpoohbear653]

Devin...you are one of my fave reactors...such positive vibes...keep vibin" brother!!!

[@anniefenter8697]

Yes, so fun to enjoy the music and have a positive vibe to review it!

[@deelawson4551]

I can`t wait! Thanks so much for playing my fave! Keep On Rockin' I just saw it and you do such a great reaction! So fun to watch you! Thanks again!

[@thomasjones7356]

Love So Right is a real banger. Shows Barry's falsetto off like Too Much Heaven. It was before TMH and happens to be my favorite Bee Gees song.

[@iche50]

So,so many great songs of them, you can't mis.....

[@anytimejammin-eva]

Hard to top that one! But I recommend The Edge of the Universe! But I've got a few favs but at the moment has to be Nights on Broadway! It's on my Spotify playlist 3 different places! Love the beginning. "Here we are. In a room full of strangers..." There's a Bee Gees song for any mood!

[@congeiger1603]

Please react to for whom the bell tolls. It's beautiful. Thanks

[@DarwinAnthony-py5ng]

Would love to see a reaction with Celine Dion singing Immortality with the Bee Gees.

[@GwenParton-zo2zp]

YOU ARE A TREASURE🙏🏻💝😇

[@thorstenwestheiderphotogra7722]

Those fireworks, that's also Barry. This song was released when I was in my early teens and it got me instantly hooked to the Gibb brothers.

[@Avey-h3f]

Barry doing the falsetto. All the brothers could do it but they said Barry had the best control over his. They’re all just brilliant. Love them so much.

[@kathieovercash8414]

Barry made the explosion sound by cupping the microphone. There's a video of part of the creating and recording of this song. It's awesome.

[@emmawhelan-galbraith6895]

The bee gees are amazing and fantastic song writers as well as singers. The album bee gees one night only is my personal favourite. Also try looking up some of their older stuff from when they were teens to see the development of the band.

[@allenstark4611]

If you like the Bee Gees you gotta do Donna Summer. You'll be blown away!

[@danamorris9396]

Barry made the explosion 💥 sound

[@kathystammen3060]

I am 60 I’ve been listening to these guys for years for decades the 70s the 80s the 90s two thousands even into today. One of my favorite Bee Gees songs is called Fanny be tender with my love. Also you need to listen to a really old one that they wrote called run to me. Also to whom the Bell tolls. As far as a favorite album I can’t pick one.

[@bencosmos6064]

ME TOO! I am 62 come from Montréal,Canada.

[@lydiabugner6437]

This is from 1978, They played their own instruments with a drummer and extra guitar from the first. Maurice played kayboards and bass. Of course they wrote the music, arrangements, the lyrics and then sang the songs. Incredible.

[@TuckHoeWong]

This spirit having flow is one of them.lp

[@judywright6889]

Find "Cousins Gibb" (Nick Endacott Gibb, who is Maurice's son...and Debora McClane, daughter of Bee Gee's sister, Lesley), singing this slowed down as a ballad, it's very moving and beautiful. Thank You for all You do!! 💐💌

[@beths999]

I absolutely love your reaction to this song 💕😂. I remember when this came out. I was a freshman in high school. It was unlike any song on the radio. After this came the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. It was the songs that set the tone for our high school years. It was an electric time in music and dancing. So much fun!

[@LadyGator1983]

Here’s some more of their songs to try!!! Massachusetts Run To Me Jive Talking Love So Right Rest Your Love On Me Immortality - Barry Gibb (not Celine Dion Lonely Days This Is Where I Came In

[@sharonsavoy6523]

They are the best!

[@tammybennett6849]

Their "still waters" album is awesome!

[@macgmac7909]

'' Night Fever'' and '' Emotions'' get that groove on. Great reaction.
