Bee Gees - For Whom The Bell Tolls - Live - Reaction

[@trb2021]

One of my favorites!! Robin is simply amazing!! ❤️

[@RobinsBird]

That was Robin, so lovely. You’ll be missing out if you don’t hear the official video. You can just hear him better. The songs that feature him are some of the ones I love the most. If he’s not singing the lead, you’ll find yourself waiting for when he comes in. I Can’t See Nobody, I Started a Joke, Massachusetts, Rings Around the Moon, Run to Me, Alone, I Will and so many others. Makes me happy to see a young person appreciate and enjoy their music.

[@suekilpatrick4758]

I agree totally. Bravo Robin

[@sandradyer5956]

Great song. Love when Robin comes in with his beautiful voice.

[@billnorwood168]

Robin on vocals...doesn't seem like many people talk about the great orchestration in ALL Beegees songs...thanks Maurice...

[@Pushindazees]

That's Robin who came in with the chorus. He has such a distinct and amazing voice too. He brings a lot of vulnerability to the songs he sings. Hearing him sing I Started A Joke almost brings me to tears every time. He's very much missed. I vote for checking out You Win Again. That one gives me a serious earworm!

[@lydmarl.475]

You are so correct, such unique vocals, just miss them wish could wave a magic wand and get them all back!

Robin's voice is perfection

[@susieq9801]

Their 60's stuff was my favorite. IMO Robin was the soul of the group with the most unique voice. Barry said NOBODY could copy Robin's voice. Maurice said "Robin's voice grabbed your heart". Barry was the leader but Robin the soul and Maurice the spirit.

Barry was indeed the❤️heart of the group!

It was Robin and the up and down is his vibrato ❤ all three brothers sang in falsetto and in chest voice three exceptional singers on their own they were amazing all together they were extraordinary ❤ Robin had a very special tone, his mother and his brothers said Robins voice pulled on the heart strings and it had an ethereal quality it was also unique ❤️ no one could copy Robins voice 👍🏻🤩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Absolutely one of my favourite songs from Bee Gees, Robin Gibbs voice control is excellent, Check out ( For Whom The Bell Tolls ) live in New York, with the Twin Towers in the background, that’s my favourite version, great reaction thanks 🙏

That version, in NY is definitely the best version.

[@lynneg8874]

It's hard to describe them and their sound. You HAVE to go back to the 60s and follow them through to really understand their greatness, to hear all the different kinds of music they wrote and sang. AND, Robin is always incredible, but especially on this song. Thank you for reacting to it.

[@dorieann64]

The length that Barry held that note, twice.

This was from 93, almost 20 years after their disco hits and 30 years after their Oz period. Anything from them is fantastic. Blue island live on MTV is unforgettable

[@lindagabriel2733]

Blue Island. Beautiful. Not to be morbid, but I am planning on having it played , at my funeral. I listen to them every day. You pronounce Maurice as if it were spelled Morrie

The best video of Alone shows video clips of them throughout their lives. It’s really great. Thanks again for your awesome reactions. I am really enjoying following you. ❤️

Thank you so much, I can't wait to hear more!

[@kathieovercash8414]

@@Texas_Love For Whom The Bell Tolls Outside in New York City. The song was written about their brother Andy and his relationship with Victoria Principle. They don't do the last verse in this video. Watched Barry talk about it in an interview. A couple of fun facts. None of them could read music. They never learned how. They would write and record the music then write the words to the song. Also Barry and Andy had identical birthmarks.

[@Debcatawba]

Have you ever listened to a song and it means so much to you that you just start crying? Yep, this is that song.

[@Ozefan2580]

That was Robin coming in with his vibrato. Maurice = Morris. He's on keyboard.

[@cathysmith2941]

Bee gees were so good even in the 90's

[@vandoraginther6421]

This is a wonderful song. Love the Bee Gees. That's Robin . Thanks

[@onenight0666]

Texas Love meet Robin Gibb! In my opinion he was the soul of the Bee Gees, famous for throwing in ad libs to a song making it come to life. His signature song was "I Started A Joke" from the late 60's to the day he left. A great live performance of that is 1997s One Night Only in Las Vegas (you can also find Maurice (Morris) on lead in Man In The Middle from same concert). "I don't sing with my voice I sing with my heart"....Robin Gibb. Rest in Peace sweet Robin xxx

[@susieq9801]

Robin's best "Joke" performance was 1989 in Melbourne. A one minute plus standing "O". The "One Night Only" was IMO a much inferior concert and they were past their prime but that is just the one most people know. The "All for one" show in Melbourne was by far superior. If you havent' seen it you're in for a treat.

[@onenight0666]

@@susieq9801 you're right dear that is just your opinion but thanks. Also I don't believe they were in Melbourne in 91. The All For One tour was in 1989 and I'm more than familiar with both .

[@susieq9801]

@@onenight0666 - You're welcome. Yes dear, my error. I am well aware it was 1989 and will correct that. Personally I thought the "One Night Only" was lackluster and did not have the energy or sibling interaction of "All for one". Just my opinion.

[@tomwareham7944]

It's Robin not Maurice (pronounced Morris )singing the chorus , a great song to hear his great voice at It's best is I STARTED A JOKE , one of the saddest songs I've heard but at the same time a true BEE GEES Masterpiece . Also react to John Farnham singing COOL CHANGE for a feeling of utter peace and harmony

[@flynntaylor5459]

This song still makes me cry... Robin he just brings it on... it is his moment and he really makes you feel that chorus. Barry and Robin switch versus too. God I love their harmonies... They play off of one another so so well. Flawlessly perfect ❤

[@GSTE_]

This performance was around 1993, and this song was a track from their 1993 album. Can't wait for your next reaction to the Bee Gees.

[@nighthawkde4522]

There’s a versión done by Robins son Spencer that was part of an album called The Bee Gees Collective. Their children sang their fathers songs. Spencer especially, has that same soulful quality his dad had while still being unique.

[@lclark6854]

They had lots of different styles. Robin sang lead or co-lead in a lot of songs before and after their late 1979s heyday. Massachusetts is great (from 1968).

[@AlamoDame7]

I agree with all you say about their unique artistry. And they inspire devotion-- they really do! Yeah, there are several songs from the 1987-92 period you still should check out, like "One."

Please react to THIS IS WHERE I CAME IN live by the BEEGEES thanks

[@lt6134]

That was Robin and this was from the 90s. Another great song on this album is Blue Island- and there’s a great live version on MTV live. And maybe try Robin singing I Started a Joke- which is from the 60s, but any version of him singing it is great. Enjoy your reactions!

[@lisavargo5882]

Love watching the younger generations find the Bee Gees. Keep going on your journey, they will keep amazing you every time. I was a young one about 10 in the lat3 70s when disco hit. But I truly felll in love with them in my 30s after Andy passed. He was my idol in my teens. That's when I discovered their 60s and 80-90s stuff. Barry is also quite generous, he donated a nice gift for a breast cancer walk that I did.

Man In the Middle sang by Morris!

Don't limit yourself to one decade. They had hits in several decades

Yes. The next one should be "You Win Again." I especially like the live version at Wetten Dass, Germany. Awesome!

I feel so sad for Barry, having to deal with the grief of losing that bond. That bond had to be like no other. That musical connection that was so unique, so productive and satisfying for them and the people that got the privilege of listening to and seeing them. Just like no other. God bless Barry.

[@francisxray9900]

It's from the nineties and it's Robin, standing in the middle. Barry rightside in view from the crowd, Maurice leftside. They always did it that way. Even as lil boys, when they shared one bed together over many years. Kinda natural thing to them, just like they were natural born musicians which never learned about notes or being teached to play instruments or sing. In 2001, they made their last concerts together, so lateron, Maurice sadly passed away. On YT, you can find the songs 'Sacred Trust', 'This Is Where I Came In', 'Man In The Middle' and 'Wedding Day'. Priceless!

[@magalisuarez2397]

Actually, they had quite a few country and country-flavored songs. "Come On Over," "South Dakota Morning" and "I'll Kiss Your Memory" are a few off the top of my head...Not to mention the top-rated country duet that they wrote, "Islands in the Stream."

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

Morris, like Julia Morris, australian comedienne who lived in the US for a while is how you say Maurice Gibb. He died next once the doctors found out he had a stomach problem, which caused a lot of pain, since childhood. Robin had it as well, got it fixed up. Maurice had the operation, but didn't recover. Genres to me are formulaic, and songs about the singer's life or treating people badly, don't impress me.

[@susieq9801]

Maurice's death was a crime! He was not diagnosed in time. About 5 years later his twin Robin presented with the same problem present since birth. His was only diagnosed because of Maurice's death. Two years after that Robin developed cancer.

This shows you that the Bee Gees are more than just disco. And I love that the Bee Gees wrote their own music. Robin is the one in the middle on this one. All three brothers can sing falsetto.

If you want to hear Maurice sing lead, listen to the One Night Only special with Mo singing: "Man in the Middle". New subbie. 😎

Gosh, your Bee Gees reactions inspired me to go down a rabbit hole to see what they recorded whilst in Australia. I was looking for something young and bubbly and fun and then I came across this video of Robin Gibbs last song he recorded. He had wished to finish this track with Barry in a recording studio along with other songs for a new album but his deteriorating health never allowed it. It’s called “Sydney” and it recalls the time the Gibb family lived at Maroubra (a beach suburb in Sydney, NSW Australia). It obviously was a special time for the brothers.
