The Bee Gees in Australia, 1989: Interview by Ray Martin

Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb talk with Ray Martin of Channel 9, from their Sydney hotel at the start of their "One for Australia" tour. They talk about visiting their old haunts in Sydney, such as Bronte Beach (near Bondi Beach) and their plans to visit sites significant to the family in Queensland. They also had relatives and old friends to catch up with, and were looking forward to being on stage again. Enjoy!
"One" album is © to WMG (Warner Bros)

[@Razza1941]

They were all very intelligent, and well spoken. They explained everything with grace and humor.

[@Kget2knowme]

I love the fact that The Bee Gees always had a great sense of humor during interviews no matter how good or bad the questions was they would find a fun answer. They always had a smile.

[@PatriciaMarie100]

Except with that creepy Clive Davis. Lol

[@terryculpeper4760]

I love and will always love the Bee Gees.

[@StevenWilliams-lk7ds]

They are such good and down to earth people. Rest in peace Maurice and Robin.

[@msigg2656]

Yes, such beautiful human beings. Cannot think of another band that made it and stayed down to earth and approachable.

[@kthor]

And as always, rest in peace little Andy.🙏

[@sveingrimstad9151]

There will never be another Bee Gees, so let's enjoy all their musical treasures to the fullest :-) The best music exist in the past.

No kidding it’s so great to see and hear them they are so good at anything they attempt

[@renacraft7001]

Maurice ❤ Robin ❤ - RIP

[@kthor]

And Andy.🙏

[@sarzz8494]

Why should they apologise for the Disco era. Every decade has something special, it just wouldn't be the 70's without it. Variety the spice of life😊

[@afreakaboucher1316]

The Bee Gees never did apologized for the Disco era

[@bazingacurta2567]

The Bee Gees disco era is their greatest era

[@brcfan9]

​​@@bazingacurta2567Yep made them super stars and millions of dollars and brought them fame beyond their wildest dreams. And Hell no they never apologized and had no reason to apologize. 😂😂😂

[@virginiaconner3340]

Besides being so awesomely talented, they were witty, nice, and down to earth. At times, they made me think of the way my three brothers were (only two now) with the ribbing, giggling, pointing out something the other one left out, etc.

[@lindareavis5971]

Spicks & Specks I really like that song.. these three awesome men are the best to ever grace the stage..

[@kthor]

A great song written by Barry!

[@dannyboydoh]

Interesting Maurice saying hope they still performing when they are 67, sadly only Barry will be, but it will be a great tribute whatever he does

[@bartalinigibb]

My eternal idols....

[@afreakaboucher1316]

Mine too ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dianeleahy4970]

Great interview! They are very, very funny...LOL! I’ve always been a fan of The Bee Gees! I love how they’ve never apologize for the disco music...The music was GREAT! RIP Andy, Robin, Maurice...Love them all...Barry, you have the greatest falsetto voice ever...and you are right Barry...people are preoccupied with how old artists are instead of saying how good they are!💕👍

[@kthor]

True!👍

[@aamishit]

Never realised how gorgeous Maurice was.

[@msigg2656]

Oh yes ;) and in top of beautiful to look at he had a wonderful personality to boot

[@denisereed8631]

[@lisascott7180]

Great interview. Love these guys. 💗💗💗

[@strukled8590]

Thank you so much! So precious! Love that love and special vibe they are radiating !!

[@phattebytch]

Funny bunch of guys.

[@MrNostalgiaX]

You can tell that they, especially Barry, was really trying to hide sheer utter sorrow when talking about Andy. I still, to this day, wonder what it would’ve been like had Andy actually had a second chance and live and really finally be the 4th Bee Gee like he was supposed to be for this album before he died. They would’ve made fantastic music and been incredible imo.

[@beeharbour]

I honestly don’t know what Andy would have added. Their harmonies could not have been improved upon and he would have expected a share of lead vocals. Realistically, that would have meant fewer leads for Robin which would not have been a good trade.

[@kthor]

Would've loved to have seen Andy join the group.🎼

[@MrNostalgiaX]

@@beeharbour maybe. It does make sense even the one time when they performed live, Andy didn’t even go near Robins mic but shared one with Barry or Maurice throughout the performance. That was pretty deep. And Barry did say he and Robin were always competing but Barry was always the more versatile singer even when Robin sang Bee Gees songs solo he couldn’t handle most of Barry’s parts without turning to a background singer or singing in an octave way lower. Still I think it would’ve been nice for sentiment and aesthetics

[@barbaracovell]

great interview

[@angelamn8542]

FOUND IT!!! I KNEW there was a video where they said Andy was supposed to go on tour with them . . .

[@sveingrimstad9151]

Congratz! You found it :-) I also heard Andy was going to be a part of this album.

[@jenniferwells9032]

Love you guys, and I too lived at Bronte beach ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jiminylummox9352]

I know the disco phase went out of vogue and hasn't really ever come back, but that aside the songs they wrote during that time were pretty incredible.

[@strukled8590]

@g.co/kgs/yhYeZN Ask anybody from music business. Disco beat never actually left the top charts. And this is just one blatant exemple ...as so many of them throughout 80' 90' etc Maroon5...Katy Perry

[@msigg2656]

So true. Only the Bee Gees were banned from radio for too long. The music industry did the world such a disservice with that. Cannot help but wonder whose toes they accidentally stepped on to be treated so horribly.

[@Debbie_George]

Australia's on my bucket list.

[@MsMeiv]

Good personable interviewer

[@pearlegates7079]

Very good interview.

[@lindajames978]

Thank you for your beautiful voices and songs 🎵 Bee Gees forever ❤❤ Miss Robin's beautiful voice 😢

[@valtercarvalho5526]

Os irmãos Gibb eram muito humorados! Sempre alegres e fazendo brincadeiras!

[@alliehamilton-calhoun162]

Barry's the man in the middle this time. Barry is usually the man on the right

[@Александра-с6ю2ь]

Какой замечательный, обаятельный, доброжелательный человек Рой Мартин. Какой высокий профессионал! С каким юмором и уважением он относится к гостям в студии, с какой добротой. Потому что у него нет зависти, нет чувства неполноценности. Он очень хорош собой, очень обаятельный и он это прекрасно о себе знает. Проблема очень многих интервьюеров в том, что они часто просто ненавидят своих знаменитых гостей из зависти к ним и постоянно пытаются их уколоть и разозлить. Как, например, Клайв Андерсон. Он внешне очень неприятен, он это знает. И когда к нему приходят на интервью кумиры миллионов, он обращается с ними очень низко и подло!

[@marjorieholoway6042]

Good interview

[@Mum60]

The noises they were making at 7.20 was pretending to play the violin as Barry was talking about going home where they used to live. As in 'get the violins out!

[@ExitSiign]

0:40 without skipping a beat

[@strukled8590]

Love him!

[@barbs247]

Barry 💕 💕

[@aestheticpersonality9870]

Better but we still miss Andy Gibb 🖤

[@helenadias7357]

Agradeço a vocês por postar sempre esse trio me diz para mim eles está e nunca sai de Primeiro lugar eu amo e sentia desejo de dizer que nunca morre para mim ele está vivo não deixe de postar porque é uma alegria para todos os fãs

[@KarynPeterson]

0:44 nice

[@Jester.T]

what...WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

[@TimeBlox]

How in the hell do they talk perfectly normal but sing so high??

[@JL-iu7fk]

NATURAL GOD GIVEN TALENT! I'm blessed to have been alive during the many eras they were performing as well as writing for so so many others.

[@phattebytch]

The stupid noises they make at 7:20. LOL!

[@PaulaSmith-dj9bq]

Was that molly And Spencer melissa

[@PaulaSmith-dj9bq]

Or dwina

[@jojijosette5946]

Barry needs to shut up and let the twins speak. I'm sick of Barry's voice. He's always hugging the interview.

[@MariangelaGuimaraes-zz1by]

por 8:24 que não disse a ele????😅

[@TheBrownlj]

Oh boo hoo poor you

[@kthor]

There's many interviews when Robin interrupts his brothers, just like he did Barry @2:25.🙄

[@estelacobas4416]

​@@kthorse da cuenta? Muchos opinan lo mismo,Barry no los deja hablar!!😂😂😂😂

[@kthor]

⁠@@estelacobas4416Because they don't need to talk when Barry is.🤐🫤🤐
