First Time Hearing Bee Gees - Massachusetts (REACTION) One For All Tour Live In Australia

[@lt6134]

Some of their 1960s hits lyrics are so deep like “I Started a Joke” and “Gotta Get a Message to You”. You’d love those.

[@ChefBarb58]

MOST DEFINITELY 😊

[@MischaGER]

Fun Fact: In Germany Massachusetts was not only 12 weeks #1 - it is still today their biggest hit ever with mindblowing eight times gold and double platinum, the fifth best selling single of all time more than 2 million singles. Not a Beatles, Boney M or ABBA tune sold so much units like this all time classic.

[@suemontague3151]

No other band could harmonise like the Bee Gees 🇦🇺

Beegees MEDLEY 1989

[@willow_wise]

My favorite performance of this iconic song. Love Robin's vocals.

[@winsomeblandford1076]

This is my favourite by Robin. I listen to it often. Lovely to see clip. ❤

[@Sandra6411]

And when they wrote this song they had never been to Massachusetts! They said they just liked the name😂

[@SaeedReacts.]

Oh, wow! It is a great name! 😄

[@kathieovercash8414]

​@@SaeedReacts.Andy's first three releases hit number one. Please react to Andy Gibb on the Midnight Special singing I Just Wanna Be Your Everything. This was his first number one.

[@sharonstephens5447]

@@SaeedReacts. Barry also explained that its meaning represented the end of flower power and that all things change, move on and come to an end. It's also worth noting that their elder sister Lesley was also a singer and joined the group briefly when Robin left for a short period.

[@AnnieDC304]

This was their first Number 1 hit in the UK.

[@Sandra6411]

Yes…do some from Andy Gibb too. Barry kind of nurtured him as well with writing, producing, playing guitar, and singing background on most of Andy’s hits.

[@dagmar.6954]

Love The Bee Gee's early music especially 60's-70's. Robin Gibb takes the lead on this great song. It was originally released in 1967. Some of their other early hits were "New York Mining Disaster 1941", "To Love Somebody", "Holiday", "World", "And The Sun Will Shine", "Really & Sincerely", "Words", "The Singer Sang His Song", "I've Gotta Get A Message To You", "Lonely Days", "Melody Fair", "First of May", "Give Your Best", "Lamplight" etc.

[@ilonahesseling4821]

"Spicks and specks"...🙂 My favorite is 1st of May, such a great song.

[@ChefBarb58]

ITS ONLY WORDS❤

[@ilonahesseling4821]

@@ChefBarb58 And of course "I started a joke"

[@RuthBair-ht1fj]

Dad was a drummer with a 30 piece band and Mom was a band vocalist. All 5 kids can sing. Big sister chose not to follow that career. Another great reaction. You would enjoy both the medley from this 1989 Melbourne concert but also Words from it too. ❤

[@debbers]

"I Started a Joke" is also a great one with Robyn as lead. And my favorite by him!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@tubularguynine]

They wrote 'Too Much Heaven', 'Tragedy', and also 'Shadow Dancing', for Andy, in the same day.

[@nelerhabarber5602]

They have a older sister, Lesley. She also could sing (She briefly stepped in as a singer when Robin left the band for more than a year, but she didn't want to be a singer. She married in Australia, had 8 (or more) children, has a dog breeder and is still alive!

[@ConnieKWONG-lw4zl]

Whenever I listen and watch their performance..I am blown away 😊🎉I need a long long time to explore 😊

[@sandybourdeau9300]

This song was a favorite back in the 1960s. I later moved to Boston MA for four of best years of my life. Their music was so heartfelt and then they went disco.

[@davidroyston1918]

Love your reactions!! ❤

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks so much!

[@john6986]

You're right. They migrated to Australia when they were kids. They formed the band and called them Bee Gees in the town of Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for shedding some light on that!

[@donnasmith3520]

Taking a drive can be a very healing experience. Nature is so beauriful.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@justlinsu]

Their younger brother Andy was like a younger looking Barry Gibb....sadly died at a young age and had a similar sound as his brothers....he did a few shows with his brothers....but was a solo performer....

[@bettyartis3648]

Sweet song talking about the hippy movement and wanting something more but being pulled back home. Your reactions are solid. Well thought out and smart. They had hits for over 40 years. Two of their later ones is I could not love you more and For Whom the Bell Tolls.. Stunning!

[@kayjohnson8377]

The next Bee Gees video. You react to needs to be “You Should Be Dancing’” in Los Angeles. It has their brother Andy on stage, singing with them. The 4 of them together are so special! Yes, Andy is as good as his brothers.❤

Oh my goodness , you will never go wrong with the Bee Gees. From their first appearance on tv in the late 50 s right through to the 2000s with over 1000 songs all written by them. The live performances are great. I will Fanny be Tender and For Whom the Bells Toll are among my favourites but first try Time is Passing By . Yhanks for you reaction 😊

[@Kknightmcc]

They started singing when they were 9 and 6 years old in Australia. There are videos that go back that far.

[@richtensail]

another hit, so so many frm v bgs

[@lovesmusic0845]

Most unique voices I’ve ever heard. They dominated the late 60s up through the 70s with their sound. Saturday Night Fever was such a smash hit. You couldn’t get away from it. Barry did some outstanding work with Barbra Streisand in the 80’s. They were all talented. Andy was becoming a big talent but the drugs did him in. More great music from my youth.

[@im2bz2bcn]

I was 6 when this song came out. I loved music since a baby so much that my mother got me a radio for my birthday when I was 5 years old.I woke up to music and and went to bed with my radio on in my headboard, remembering very well first hearing this song. Fond memories of a precious childhood and my parents didn’t hinder my journey and developing my love for music. I started a joke was another favorite of mine when very young.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for sharing that memory! ❤️

[@bella-xp7qd]

When they wrote this song, they had never been to Massachusetts. They have an older sister Leslie.With little experience, other than three weeks of intense rehearsals, Lesley joined her brothers on stage. "It was amazing. I loved it ... but it wasn't for me. I had my twins to get back to and Robin came back soon after," she said.

[@christophersmith7041]

After achieving some chart success in Australia, they returned home to the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 in 1967 ,where music producers Robert Stigwood, began promoting them worldwide, The music scene was blowing up in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 so many phenomenal artists and bands exploded into the limelight and also the invasion of America began,bee gees sensed the United Kingdom was the place to be, they had a hit record called ( New York Mining Disaster 1941 ) the rest is history,Bee gees once in a lifetime talent, great reaction thanks 🙏

[@mariat.fromnepausa.1646]

Andy was the youngest and he died early and yes he was a singer just as talented. Barry is the only brother left. Maurice and Robin died.

[@Linda-w8d]

Saeed, the one song you need to react to by the Bee Gees, is their #1 Disco Hit, "Stayin Alive." We would hit the roller rinks every weekend and skate to that song and other Bee Gees songs.....we all had our little skater suites....I even had pom poms on top of my skates.....we were 15 years old ! What a wonderful time !

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thats one i ofcourse know, but maybe only the chorus. I really need to sit down and listen to the verses as well. Thanks so much for sharing that story.

[@dubivxler]

👍👍👌

[@NancyMoran-r3b]

Andy sang on his own. By the time he started singing, they had been established for many years. Andy had a few big hits and died so young. I think it was a heart attack from too many drugs.

Did I mention that I saw them live at Saratoga, NY.

You should check out some Andy Gibb. "Shadow Dancing" or "Love Is Thicker Than Water". Andy looks and sounds like a younger Barry.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for sharing these recommendations.

[@Kiwiklassic]

They had an older sister Lesley who used to sing with the brothers as well, she still lives in Australia. Andy had a beautiful voice he sounded and looked like Barry, he was very successful too but passed away at 30 years old of a heart condition brought on by drug use, poor Andy he paid the price of fame, very sad. He was supposed to join his brothers for the "One" album but didn't make it.

[@alainemancini3366]

Although I adore the older classic Bee Gees tracks, the albums 'E.S.P', and 'One' are undoubtedly my favourites. It is as though they reached up into Style Heaven and found all the best lyrics and melodies. 'One' Title Track kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYO4loCdr7R2edE ...Gorgeous, with a killer bass line.❤

You were correct about the pronunciation of Maurice being "Morris" in the UK and Australia, but if an American read the name, we would pronounce it very close to the way that you do, as "more-eess"

Yes, there was actually 5 kids (Lesley, Barry, Robin, Maurice, and Andy) that could all sing!! Lesley’s daughter, Bernice (Beri) can also sing. Barry’s son Stephen is in a heavy metal band, sings and plays guitar, another one of Barry’s sons Ashley is a songwriter and has collaborated with Barry and Stephen. Another son of Barry was named after his Godfather Michael Jackson. Spencer, one of Robin’s sons, also sings and has a solo career. He sounds like his father! Robin-John (RJ), another one of Robin’s sons, also sings and acts. Adam and Samantha, both of Maurice’s children, also sing. Sami joined Stephen on stage to sing with Barry. Peta, Andy’s daughter, can also sing. Adam Gibb, Beri Gibb-Rhoades, Peta Gibb, RJ Gibb, Samantha Gibb, Spencer Gibb, Stephen Gibb, and Travis Gibb are in a group called The Gibb Collective. They have covered some of their father’s songs!

Spencer has a very haunting sound in his song Empty Room. But he also sounds like his dad in it. Sami has several videos of her own songs. Another wild fact: they have passed away in reverse order (youngest to oldest)
