The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Edit

A different kind of memory.

A handful of R&B artists were using synthesizers,

A lot of people don't realize

A more important senior executive

A promotional gimmick.

A twilight doubleheader.

A very busy day coming into town.

About making a comeback.

About the breakup.

About the fact that, you know, they were still

About the note values."

About the song."

Ahmet Ertegun and Robert Stigwood

Ahmet Ertegun came to Miami.

Albhy was a hippie.

All next door to each other with swimming pools."

All right. Okay.

All that was a big influence on us.

All the emotions are still there.

All these musical ambitions came to the surface,

All this stuff is going down in Chicago,

Also branded them as a disco group.

America was the ultimate dream.

American R&B kind of stuff,

An Oscar nominee for "Saturday Night Fever,"

And "To Love Somebody,"

And a happy New Year.

And a lot of straight people feeling threatened,

And Ahmet went, "No." [laughs]

And all my friends in Australia a very merry Christmas

And all started looking outwards

And all these things play out

And all three of us did things to each other

And Andy joined my mic,

And Andy was having problems too.

And Andy.

And Arif says to me,

And Arif was right in there with them.

And Arif was, you know, top of the heap for that.

And as we sat in everyone's office,

And at the same time,

And audition for us on piano.

And Barry said, "What did you think?"

And Barry wanted to sing it.

And Barry was playing his guitar.

And being on the radio as it was for ourselves.

And being on the radio,

And beyond anything else, that's all we cared about.

And Blue had them all.

And Blue Weaver and Alan Kendall,

And built it piece by piece from the ground up,

And composing I'd ever heard.

And created a two bar phrase.

And currently, it's the studio

And do one more with the Bee Gees.

And doing things for a while.

And don't rely so much

And each one of us was thinking that.

And even after we arrived in England.

And eventually, I started singing to it in my head.

And everybody chipped in.

And everybody's got an ego about it,

And for 18 months, they never did.

And getting these tracks together."

And given to your girlfriend.

And go private.

And guided him through and helped him with lyrics.

And have some fun.

And he could be very dark too.

And he had a combover, and it was all

And he had a great ear.

And he hates disco music.

And he is a disc jockey for station WLUP FM

And he kept looking up, and he stood back and he goes,

And he said, "'Night Fever.'

And he said, "I want my studio time back

And he said, "Just say you can play bass,"

And he said, "Well, the trick is,

And he said, "What do you mean?"

And he says, "I know. I know. I know what I have to do."

And he says, "I'll be on the next flight to Florida."

And he was always tagging along,

And he was doing drugs.

And he was one of my best friends.

And he went, "Yeah, of course."

And he would wear these really big, flashy ties,

And he'd go, "Shut up!

And he'd like to drink a little, as I did.

And he's been in the habit of taking tablets

And he's good at these kind of things."

And his personal life once we became famous.

And how we imagined it.

And how well that seemed to work.

And Huey said, "Hey, we haven't heard you play."

And Huey, the father.

And I got a phone call from Barbra.

And I got on really well with him.

And I just remember our jaws dropping.

And I knew Barry could sing in E flat.

And I knew I was gonna marry her.

And I really liked it."

And I said, "I am doing it to you."

And I said, "I'm gonna marry her."

And I said, "This is what we gotta do.

And I said, "Well, I just finished the mix.

And I said, "Well, I just got in,

And I saw Andy in front of me, I thought,

And I think everything we set out to do,

And I think it should actually

And I think it was, like, two weeks or something,

And I think Maurice was in the middle.

And I think that's what

And I think we came back together as men.

And I thought, "Blue."

And I thought, "Man, this would be so good

And I thought, "Yes.

And I wanna work with you."

And I was at that point in my career

And I was like, "The Bee Gees?"

And I was the morning news guy.

And I went into the sort of recovery period.

And I went, "Yes." [laughs]

And I would bump into him every now and then

And I'd like to wish all the kids

And I'd like to wish all you kids

And I'll be honest with you,

And I'm Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees.

And I'm in the control room.

And I'm like, "Who's this?"

And I'm thinking, "Jesus Christ, no."

And if you're lucky, you get little slices of it

And in my head, it sounded like,

And it didn't take him long, you know,

And it just kept getting bigger and bigger over time.

And it still probably would've been a little too soon

And it was a dump.

And it was a team.

And it was gone.

And it was like, "Oh, this is a new sound."

And it was Linda, and then Maurice came over

And it was the four of us together,

And it wasn't good music anymore.

And it would be a great song,

And it's not true.

And it's some of the best songs ever written.

And January the 1st, we left.

And let him know that I'm gonna be over."

And let's do it."

And lived next order to a fish and chips shop.

And make sort of these interesting sonic loops.

And Maurice would always know where to put that other melody

And Maurice,

And mixed with Barry's rhythm part,

And Moogs,

And Mum, of course.

And my brief was,

And not saying that they were has beens,

And now here I am partying with these guys.

And of course, Andy came here with them.

And of course, everybody knew the Bee Gees.

And once we came back together again,

And Paul McCartney was there with Jane Asher,

And people thought he was mad.

And ponds and fountains.

And pretend to sing with me,

And put it through a VOX amp and sound like Buddy Holly.

And put the pieces together

And Robert wouldn't hear of it, of course.

And Robin and Maurice started to collaborate

And Robin had this wonderful, tear jerking voice.

And Robin wanted to sing the song

And Robin would go, "Well, give Barry a call

And said, "I wanna produce you,"

And see if we can make a loop out of it."

And so I called him and I said, "Well, I can't play bass,"

And so it's my privilege to say,

And so that was fine for me. I was having a ball.

And so the greatest gift that you could give

And so there was nothing sleepy about America.

And start working there and get some records released.

And start writing.

And that affected all of us in its own way.

And that allowed me to open my club.

And that became the battle,

And that created that new determination

And that sometimes was the birth of a song.

And that spontaneity came out in the songs.

And that terrified me.

And that tour was a promotion

And that was basically the birth of it.

And that was the beginning of the period

And that wasn't acceptable to them,

And that's a memory that'll last me all my life.

And that's how the "Guilty" album came about.

And that's how we basically met.

And the Bee Gees got caught up in that

And the Bee Gees probably had the top four, top five hits

And the brothers felt it too.

And the competition of life began.

And the drummer, Colin Petersen.

And the energy level at that point

And the greatest weakness you could ever have

And the groove they got into there

And the lyrics very obviously state

And the message in the lyrics

And the morning hours, are thriving.

And the movie we don't talk about,

And the same thing that's happening now:

And the same with Mo.

And the talent was so obvious.

And the thing that I noticed

And the way that we would all try to please each other,

And the whole dynamic changed.

And the world of music forever,

And then a guitar part.

And then all of a sudden, it was three wives.

And then breaks up their records.

And then he started with the heads of Paramount,

And then that person ends up singing it,

And then the law changed,

And then we did a bass line.

And then we went into the process

And then, in fact, Robin's half an hour older than I am,

And there's Barry with his glamorous wife

And there's things that go back to childhood about, you know,

And therein lies the issue.

And they became our best demos.

And they both said, "No, we won't."

And they said, "Yeah, sure."

And they told him something like 200.

And they want a guitar player who can play bass as well,"

And they were as excited as I was.

And they were singing three part harmony

And they would bounce off each other.

And they would lean in or lean out

And they'd play the song, and I'd work the chords out.

And they'll never stop dancing."

And they're gonna love you forever,

And this beautiful orchestra,

And this man was a literal producer.

And this time of life,

And though brothers Robin and Maurice are sadly gone,

And thought of his Prelude in E Flat,

And to get you into the American music scene."

And to see the four of us onstage,

And took with him Eric Clapton and Bee Gees

And translating it to where I was from.

And we always had the same goals growing up

And we get this phone call

And we managed to fit into different eras,

And we needed time apart to think about them.

And we said, "Oh, yeah." You know, "Whatever you say."

And we saw a lot of people

And we started doing gigs as a teenage act.

And we started with this drum loop.

And we started working together

And we thought, "Oh, that'll be great."

And we thought, "Well,

And we wanted that input.

And we were a family.

And we would like to exist in the '80s, you know.

And we'll see you again. Bye bye.

And we're gonna blow 'em up real good.

And we're twins,

And what drives you is your ego.

And what I wanted to say earlier

And when Dennis comes back,

And when Dennis was not there,

And when you get there

And when you've got brothers singing,

And where you've come from and all that.

And within hours

And you just go like this."

And you'd say... [grumbles]

And, "Why, it's the Bee Gees."

And, of course, Andy lived with them.

And, oh, you know?

And, you know, established artists.

And, you know... ♪ I love you ooh ♪

Andy had about three number ones in a row.

Andy was, like, petrified,

Any band that is successful

Any given week.

Are refusing to play their new single.

Are you interested?"

Are you kidding?"

Arif you know, I said,

Around the airplane every time we landed in a certain place

As "Saturday Night Fever" sold,

As a house producer."

As a pop group,

As an element of going public.

As is per usual for Monday,

As Maurice and Robin.

As my brothers first did in 1958

As normal brothers.

As there is behind me.

As three kids, we said,

At Gerrards Cross in Buckinghamshire.

At St. James' Parish Church

At the Beverly Hills Hotel at breakfast,

At the moment. In America.

At the north of England to pay the taxman,

At the same time, "Fever" was still in the top ten.

At the studio.

At the time, it was "Lights on Broadway."

Atlantic, who were not happy about that, said,

Back in Australia.

Back then, if you weren't on the radio,

Barry said, "Can you do chicken picking, Alan?"

Barry would call me up and say,

Barry, Barry, Barry, Barry, Barry, Barry,

Barry, Barry, Barry, Barry, Barry, Barry.

Barry's got a place in Eaton Square.

Based on the original vision of the song

Based on this discovery of this falsetto voice

Batley Variety Club,

Beautiful area.

Beautiful building, great grounds and gardens

Because by then, their stock had fallen so low

Because he got him for "Grease"

Because he saw

Because I begin to recognize

Because it was something totally unexpected from us.

Because my dad was really the most ambitious man,

Because Robert had said,

Because they crawled all over the Mercedes.

Because they had a lot of success

Because they were part of that culture

Because this was just a soundtrack.

Because we all had the same love.

Because we existed in the '70s

Because we were so excited about this,

Because when you've got

Before we left Australia,

Beginning to fade, you know?

Blue was the guy who was gonna come to the Isle of Man

Brian said, "Yeah, yeah. That's very nice. No, nice."

Bring that sound in. That's great.

But a lot of things had gone down at that time,

But Arif said, "We've gotta go more into R&B,"

But because there was a contract,

But Carl was able to make it happen.

But everybody ran on the field.

But everybody's memory is different,

But his vocal, when he sings it,

But I don't think there's any reason to chalk us off

But I found myself singing that

But I guess more importantly for me,

But I mean, that's how crazy it was.

But I never knew he existed until one day, he shows up

But I still see them on and off, you know,

But I was aware of it.

But I'd like to see the Bee Gees again.

But in the winter, that was the place to be,

But in those days, it was kind of sleepy.

But instead, their voices are so sick,

But it caught Robert's attention

But it didn't work out, so he became our manager,

But it was a very traumatic time for me.

But it was celebrating

But it was like, "Oh, God, not Batley," you know?

But it would probably be missing this magic

But it's a different voice from them separately.

But most of the time, I'm like my mum.

But Nik Cohn's point was that

But really...

But sadly, Dennis had had some bad news.

But sounds awfully good."

But that's life.

But that's what was special about them.

But the Bee Gees are there.

But the first time you ever hear the Bee Gees

But the idea of dance

But the inspiring thing was

But the lyrics don't talk about dance at all,

But the one thing that no one else was doing

But the only way I can describe

But then it had another thing going on.

But then Robin walks in.

But then we weren't thinking that way at all.

But there was some point where I got obsessed,

But they mesh together so well that it sounds like one voice.

But they were writing from Australia.

But they weren't producers,

But they've translated it

But to be sure, doing a tour is an enormous amount of work.

But two out of three's not bad.

But we decided not to read the script.

But we didn't know what it was gonna do.

But we needed the Bee Gees to write a few songs.

But we never dreamed that we might get a hit

But we were not really that good

But what happened is, the feel was so amazing

But when you magnify that with the whole world,

But without naming the Bee Gees on it,

But you won't get that right away with me, you see.

But, you know, Barry was there

By '85,

By the .44 Caliber Killer?

By then, we were flying,

Called "Here At Last...Live."

Came a beam of sunlight, you know?

Can you make the body happy?

Carl called and he said, "What are you doing?"

Caught a train into London and found IBC Studios.

Chopin had stayed there.

Colin would figure out

Come hell or high water.

Come on. Come on. Sorry.

Completely.

Couldn't think of anything redeem

Cream was signed to Robert

Crowd: Barry, Barry, Barry,

Dad and I did the rounds,

Dennis Bryon on drums

Disco is the business.

Disco started in the gay and the Black community.

Disco sucks!

Disco sucks!

Disco sucks!

Disco sucks!

Disco sucks!

Disco sucks."

Disco was really underway, in Manhattan, anyway,

Discos, the places in which to dance away the night

Do you think we're famous? Could be."

Do you wanna do it with me?"

Dodger Stadium, places like that.

Does anybody mind if we exist in the '80s, thank you?

Doesn't it?

Doesn't necessarily make it a disco song.

Doing the Eric Clapton pose.

Down at Criteria.

Down it went.

Downloaded from YTS.MX

Each of them knew the way their brothers sang

Either some discrepancy between Barry and Robin,

Emotions are heightened,

Enough so that we've even heard mentioned

Eric said, "Well, I've just made this album

Even though I can understand why it wasn't for them,

Every time we crossed over it.

Everybody knew, when you heard that falsetto,

Everybody know that time is hard now.

Everybody was at that point in their lives

Everybody was saying the same thing:

Everybody went, "Who?

Exactly four years ago to the week.

Except they were fucking awesome.

Family members singing together,

Fishermen don't make the fish.

Five months before all this was going on,

For "Jive Talkin'" to come out as the first single,

For a little while.

For a long time, right?"

For a while until this dies down

For bands of my generation,

For our new studio album,

For people in the recording industry,

For people in the recording industry,

For that solo.

For the "Spirits Having Flown" album,

For the Beatles,

For the broadest possible audience.

For the first time in our country.

For the rest of our lives,

For these recordings,

For this kind of music to carry the weight,

For those people that were on the first wave

For us to become the Bee Gees again.

For very important pop star Barry Gibb.

For whatever reasons.

Four singles from "Saturday Night Fever"

From England to Australia.

From looking out into the audience,

From my brother Barry

From the first listen.

From the same place, I think, has an effect

Game two of the doubleheader was canceled last night.

Getting him to play live, getting him to be an artist.

Gives you a certain sense of who you are

Great clubs of our time.

Greed is the thing that happens in people

Greed.

Growing up, we did everything together.

Guess you could kind of call it over giving.

Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall from Comiskey Park,

Has it changed your lives, the enormous success of it?

Hated it.

Have hit number one since the album was released,

Have to kind of get worked up a little bit.

Having people in the audience like Barbra Streisand

He announced

He could do anything he set his mind to.

He had his little band.

He had the best smile ever.

He had the last laugh.

He said, "Den, don't do this to me."

He said, "I want you to write a song for Otis Redding."

He said, "I'm releasing the record in every city.

He said, "Look, Robin,

He said, "We've being signed up

He said, "Well, give it to Robert."

He said, "Well, what do you mean?"

He said, "You know, you've got to get more adult

He said, you know, "Get Dick to book you a flight now."

He sang the melody,

He says, "You're doing the Redwood Park Festival."

He took great joy in being on television.

He was a TV actor.

He was almost like a parent.

He was Australian, but he spoke like an English gentleman,

He was doing cocaine.

He was found in his second floor bedroom

He was just like us,

He was like the caboose on this musical train.

He was there when we were cutting "Nights on Broadway."

He was trying to please us

He was very receptive to new ideas.

He would just be fiddling around on the piano.

He would like to sing.

He would never let the Bee Gees go.

He'd be rehearsing in the back of the car,

He'd been involved

He'd suddenly play something, and,

He's getting married

He's the big brother, you know.

Here they are.

Hi, Australia.

His favorite.

His personality was amazing.

Hit number one

Hmm," he said, "sounds okay," he said,

Homophobic book burning.

Hoped for but never really expected.

Hoping that one day, he would do this too.

How about you, Mr. Melouney?

How come they can't be consistent?"

How we destroy the disco records.

How we work at it is by becoming one mind.

Hysterically funny.

I always felt they brought melody to disco.

I am beginning to recognize the fact

I came up with a lot of new ideas

I can do this."

I can still get chills thinking about it.

I can't honestly come to terms with the fact

I can't say definitely,

I can't say I really felt scared.

I can't think of any

I didn't have a technical term for the open and closed hi hat

I didn't know where the hell Massachusetts was,

I didn't really know what it was.

I didn't think I was ready.

I don't you know, it's stupid."

I don't feel free to go out,

I don't know about the rest of her.

I don't know if I can do this, you know?

I don't know where they are now.

I don't know, 16 hours a day.

I envisaged Chopin sitting down and playing.

I felt grown up, you know,

I found out he played on "I Shot the Sheriff"

I had a cassette player.

I had a kind of deep seated resentment

I had come out of a long period

I had never known anything like that before.

I have a

I have fantastic memories,

I have to really know somebody before I reveal myself.

I just loved being on the road.

I just saw her eyes.

I just wanna [laughter]

I knew what "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" was,

I know that Maurice and Robin would've had

I like being funny with people,

I listened to the Loop,

I loved playing music, chasing women.

I made a decision to place the group with Atlantic.

I mean, absolutely bonkers.

I mean, he was just different.

I mean, I felt like that.

I mean, I think I had about 2 grand in the bank

I mean, I'd converse with him but not as much as the others.

I mean, it was a wonderful echo in this place.

I mean, it was really quite a phenomenon.

I mean, that could very easily have just been a horn line,

I mean, these are fantasies.

I mean, this is ridiculous.

I mean, we weren't the first to sing falsetto.

I mean, you can dance to lots of songs.

I mean, you had to be. And we'd all watch TV at night.

I miss them both as brothers.

I pointed out to my chief usher,

I preferred him as Maurice, not being a Bee Gee.

I preferred Maurice as Maurice not being a Bee Gee,

I really wasn't a fan of the Bee Gees.

I said to Dennis, the drummer, I says, you know,

I said yes,

I said, "I can't get into specifics

I said, "I'll go out and give it a shot."

I said, "I'm just working on this song.

I said, "Is Maurice there, then?

I said, "Just do me one favor:

I said, "Man, that is amazing."

I said, "No. No.

I said, "Robin, you call Barry."

I said, "We've known each other

I said, "Well, why don't we just

I said, "What about the next album?"

I said, "You do what you're doing,

I sat down at the piano

I showed it to him.

I stopped really knowing Robin

I talked to him outside on the balcony,

I think about how it all sort of started.

I think getting on the road means that to us.

I think he really wanted to be a part of that.

I think it was some kind of tax thing.

I think it'd been used to make porn movies.

I think Maurice was the glue that held it all together.

I think Robert saw he had a younger audience.

I think that's what won me over with them.

I think they were probably the happiest they'd ever been

I think we had three albums out in one year.

I think, in the Gibb clan.

I think, that really resonates.

I thought those guys were actually an R&B band

I truly believed it was because I was

I walked in.

I was 14.

I was alone at the time,

I was becoming the town drunk.

I was deluged by Paramount people saying,

I was excited.

I was in Pitt Street buying up the Beatle fan club book,

I was in the studio to do a new album in Miami.

I was only 21 years old.

I was still running RSO Records,

I was surprised that other bands were coming in.

I was terrified. [laughs]

I was thinking, "My God, I don't

I was young.

I went with my manager.

I worked my way up,

I would say that we were as much like twins

I would've got what I wanted too.

I'd go to the pubs. The police knew my car.

I'll be honest, I was very much into the lifestyle.

I'll leave you alone."

I'll show you the studio anyway.

I'll take full credit.

I'm always reliving it.

I'm gonna send you to New Zealand."

I'm having great fun. I'm in a rock and roll band."

I'm on a plane tomorrow."

I'm the peacemaker.

I'm touring America and living the rock and roll life.

I'm very hard to get to know.

I'm working at a top 40 station

If anything, that was the good thing

If he wants to do this?"

If it got top ten, they'd go more.

If it was a movie.

If one kid got more attention than the other,

If that makes sense to you.

If that was something that was initiated by me,

If they could pick up on what's going on in America."

If we hadn't been brothers,

If you got the ability to write

If you wanna call it that,

In a musical partnership.

In a place that had a liquor license.

In case it was only half full.

In England and America as well.

In front of just a small group of friends,

In general, it's a very complicated thing,

In history.

In many ways, they were chameleons of pop.

In New England,

In New York, big one,

In that period,

In the '60s in America.

In the Bee Gees' music.

In the beginning, when I came,

In the gay underground clubs.

In the history of music.

In the late '70s was really that, you know?

In the middle of center field."

In their lives.

In tune, if possible.

Inhales it and imitates the Bee Gees on the air,

Instantly, you feel comfortable with them.

Into a cult,

Into the way Robin and I thought.

Into this interesting interpretation of soul.

Is equally the greatest strength

Is going to have

Is just a little too busy."

Is now as well known as they are.

Is that I'd rather have 'em all back here,

Is that it doesn't happen in a vacuum.

Is, you know, dead.

It actually blew my mind.

It always works for us.

It became another icon of the Gibbs.

It can be tricky to stay there.

It changes the game a little bit.

It creates a real poison.

It did phenomenally well.

It doesn't actually say the Bee Gees,

It just wouldn't have happened.

It means that we come face to face with people

It never goes away.

It really worked, you know?

It reminded me so much of growing up in Australia.

It should be "Bee Gees, Spirits Having Flown."

It shouldn't be called just that.

It sounded great.

It turns out it was the songwriting.

It turns out to be big money.

It was a discovery.

It was a frightening time,

It was a half built castle, no central heating, nothing,

It was a racist,

It was a surprise out of nowhere.

It was advertised that the Bee Gees were coming,

It was all very relaxed.

It was an amazing tour.

It was at the launching of the company

It was completely for

It was crazy.

It was destroying us.

It was extraordinary.

It was garbage.

It was like waves in the sea.

It was like, "That's what we've been trying to do."

It was new to them.

It was no longer acceptable

It was odd to me because I thought,

It was old people's music.

It was scary stuff.

It was so echoey.

It was the most brilliant harmony singing

It was this cultural phenomenon.

It was three times a night at any club that you went to.

It wasn't a breakdown, but it was just something

It went on to be one of the best selling albums

It would be nice if we could find a bigger sound

It'd need to be called 'Saturday Night,'" he said.

It's a dance movie, you know?

It's a very difficult thing to handle.

It's a very large family,

It's all down to perception.

It's almost as if somebody's already written

It's always, "What would Robin think?"

It's Barry and Robin singing in unison.

It's emotional.

It's like Yeah.

It's like an instrument that nobody else can buy.

It's like... [mimicking drumbeat]

It's not pretty or pop like you remember.

It's pretty tough.

It's really this super rugged, like, tough thing.

It's survival. It's survival.

It's the kind of music you might've bought

It's the same thing with every family,

It's to do with anything but dance,

It's unique.

It's where all the has beens went to play,

It's wonderful when you hear it taking shape.

John took me aside at one point and said,

John Travolta.

Just about anything related to disco profitable.

Just after 2:00 this afternoon by his housekeeper.

Just when they're in a room like this,

Kind of the same domination the Beatles had

Ladies and gentlemen, will you welcome

Let's be songwriters.

Let's do it," you know?

Let's go. Bang, bang, bang."

Let's make it big."

Let's put out a single now."

Let's see if we can dance around that.

Let's try and graduate from being a group

Like Nina Simone, the Animals.

Like put out garbage,

Like surfers with waves. Surfers don't make the waves.

Like we did.

Like, "How many theaters?"

Like, "Why does everyone suddenly hate our band?

Like, I don't even know if he's talking about himself,

Like, tracking down every cover version,

Linda Gray.

Little instincts up and the melodies come.

Makes it so attractive?

Managers would call up all the time:

Many had come for Disco Demolition Night,

Maurice is so funny,

Maurice played bass, but he would go on piano sometimes.

Met with industry people,

Miami, Miami Beach,

More than anything

More than from any other new album in history.

Most disco at that point was melody free, you know?

Most of the time.

Most radio stations had a very small playlist,

Mum and Dad came to Miami as quickly as we did.

Music of the Bee Gees and "Tragedy."

Musicians and orchestras and all that stuff.

My early days with the Bee Gees

My heart is in that song.

My immediate family is gone.

My life changed completely.

My whole life, I didn't know I could do this.

Never again would we rely as much on the liveness.

Never been able to do that.

Never expected.

Never forget it.

Never forget it.

No doubt in my mind.

No hits at all.

No matter which one you picked out.

No one gets a million dollars for three pictures.

No, he was singing it. I said, "Keep on doing it."

No.

Not a happy place to be.

Not just Robin Gibb, you see.

Not just, "Oh, well, I heard that record

Not musically.

Not thinking about the outside world.

Not to look scared, and...

Nothing like it.

Nothing.

Now I'm living out in Highgate outside London.

Now, that's not a percentage. That's a tiny amount of money.

Of actually being more of a band together

Of addiction and alcoholism,

Of Andy's band.

Of being in England.

Of different kinds of music.

Of making real records.

Of missing them, really.

Of our times, my friend Barry Gibb.

Of something happening to me."

Of sort of global pop superstardom,

Of the disco sound.

Of the record landing at all the radio stations,

Of these boys from Australia?

Of these three handsome, cute guys

Of what's going on out there.

Oh, the reaction?

Oh, yeah, that's right. Sorry, do it again.

Okay, fellas, get back in line.

Okay.

On "Stayin' Alive," like, by itself,

On a real professional studio microphone,

On a Saturday night in the suburbs.

On all these records we wanna sell,"

On one cassette.

On some pub band in London.

On the ballads that we had been doing.

On what I thought was an exclusive deal.

On your ability to sing together,

Once you lose them.

One more time?

One of the great things I've done in my life.

One of the most successful singer songwriters

One, two, three, boom!

One, two, three, boom!

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Oof. That felt good.

Or any of that stuff.

Or complement each other's voices.

Or if we're gonna make a decision about something,

Or some titles, anyway.

Or something, you know.

Or taken out of other screens to make room for "Fever."

Or, "Group hug."

Or, "What would Maurice think?"

Other record companies were printing it.

Otis never got to record the song.

Otis Redding was playing at the Apollo.

Our father, he had his own band,

Our lead guitarist, Alan Kendall...

Our three lives were three different lives.

Out in Chicago, Illinois,

Out of the blue, a phone call came

Package it, sell it.

People don't understand

Pioneering, in a way.

Put Maurice on." [champagne cork pops]

Queen was our support act.

Rather than just being underground gay clubs,

Rather than me and Maurice being twins,

Rather than, you know,

Right here in Miami, down at Criteria.

Right up until the time we arrived

Right. Okay.

Robert asked to become

Robert chose to take

Robert Stigwood made me,

Robert Stigwood, this is for you.

Robin

Robin and I did two different leads,

Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees marries Molly Hullis.

Robin here.

Robin said, "I've got this idea for a song."

Robin was either in New York, or Maurice was in England.

Robin was first to say,

Robin went through a kind of

Robin, I never really knew.

Robin, we've heard rumors that the group is splitting up.

Robin's got a house in St. George's Hill,

Said, "The Bee Gees are looking for a drummer.

Sat down with us on the beach, and said, "Right.

Saying, "I wanna make this film."

Saying, you know, "This is really a nice house, Andy.

Send for yours today.

Shall we say, a downturn in their career.

She asked me about writing songs for her,

Showed up at Chicago's Comiskey Park.

Singing professionally.

Smart to keep him on his own.

Smokey Robinson, Motown,

Smoking a bowl, you know?

So "Lights on Broadway" became "Nights on Broadway."

So apparently, you know, I needed a communicator.

So Atlantic Records would always book their acts

So Dad had sent this stuff to NEMS,

So every time I looked at this piano,

So he could start off on his own.

So he then left the company

So I called my brothers,

So I got Robert to buy the film rights

So I just played this one note and muted it.

So I phoned them up.

So I said, "Okay, I can play bass."

So I went there, and of course,

So it turned into "Saturday Night Fever."

So it's confusing.

So my job was to do the soundtrack,

So really, the only thing we needed

So that was a bit patronizing.

So that's the way things go.

So the whole idea was to write for other people.

So there they were.

So they made a deal

So they're just my memories, you know?

So we had the Sheffield Fiesta,

So we made the most of it.

So we thought, you know, whatever's going to happen,

So we went into a room in the château.

So we went into this field

So we were on a bit of a high.

So we were singing around the one mic,

So while we were waiting for the power to come back on,

So you kind of walk that tightrope.

So, you know, I told Barry what was going on.

Some form of resist that's just the law of nature.

Some great singers have sung that song, obviously,

Some people take up

Some radio stations around the country

Sometimes the only interesting thing

Songwriters don't really write songs.

Steve Dahl was on the radio saying, "Disco sucks.

Stigwood and his loyalties.

Storming the field.

Straight couples are now going to do the hustle

Take pictures against that palm tree, you know,

Tape dump.

Thank you very, very much on behalf of my brothers,

Thank you very, very much. Good evening to all of you.

Thank you.

That Arif can't be involved in this album.

That became our band.

That blew 'em up real good!

That broke the camel's back.

That come in and express the meaning of the song."

That did not allow people of the same sex

That game will be forfeited.

That got people's attention.

That hadn't really worked that out yet.

That he played something and it just sounded awful.

That I think we're all sorry for.

That it became impossible to see each other

That lead to gold records like this.

That never shone on me,"

That New York gave to us.

That night,

That nothing is true.

That really ruins a lot of shit.

That seems to work through thick and thin.

That someone will be left in the end.

That Stigwood, during postproduction, said,

That targets the dance floor.

That that's a lead role for an actor

That the music lasts, you know?

That there's not as much time in front of me

That they were in a different position.

That they're not here anymore.

That this was actually the end of a era.

That turn into songs.

That was built around this clubbing thing.

That was lifting a lot of people up.

That was my first job.

That was really on the Bee Gees at that time.

That was the explosion

That we could construct the song

That we couldn't get rid of it.

That we were going back to be part of the British Invasion.

That we were going to be famous

That whole vibe turned them on.

That you absolutely adore,

That you brought tonight,

That you really love

That, if you work in music long enough,

That, to me, is crap.

That, you know, it was only a few weeks later

That's being used by the Bee Gees.

That's just a few of the statistics

That's probably...

That's the Bee Gees.

That's the voice that reaches your heart.

That's what we thought you know, emotionally.

That's when everything exploded.

That's when the whole idea

That's you, Barry, Colin, Vince.

The "blaming it alls."

The album that made them superstars,

The Beatles and Dylan take up huge

The Bee Gees and "Jive Talkin'."

The Bee Gees were always in the studio.

The Bee Gees!

The Bee Gees' name should be

The brand new exerciser sensation

The brand new number one song in the USA,

The Brian Epstein offices.

The chemistry was very exciting.

The Disco Body Shaper,

The falsetto is very much a Black tradition,

The fight to survive being a pop group.

The first serious one.

The first thought was, "In the event

The first time it happens,

The Golden Garter in Manchester,

The Grammy Awards.

The guys had been to New York, and they go, "Oh, this is

The human embodiment of a brass section.

The largest crowd of the season,

The most exciting sound in the world.

The next project,

The one and only Lulu.

The only guy in the room that I got the job.

The only thing I knew about them was,

The only thing that I noticed that's not right is,

The organization away from Atlantic Records

The radio station that this kind of centered around.

The Recording Academy is celebrating

The same way a horn just punches...

The scenario of survival.

The songs in the air and they're giving them to us.

The songs precipitated the interest.

The suggestion was about, really.

The term "Miami Sound."

The testosterone kicked in,

The three brothers were clearly a unit.

The thrill was that it did the same thing in America.

The world changed radically very quickly.

Their voices together sound like trumpets to me.

Then came "Massachusetts."

Then I would be the premier of Russia.

Then it all blossoms.

Then our record company couldn't keep up the pace.

There is a folk quality to it.

There is a gospel quality to it.

There was a blackout.

There was a law in New York

There was a letter by the father

There was a period when we lived in the shadow

There was a whole industry

There was an acoustic guitar at the end of my bed,

There was an enormous amount of love between us.

There was nothing.

There was talk about him becoming a Bee Gee.

There was us three and Dad.

There were Barry, Robin, and Maurice

There'd always be a big bunch of kids outside

There's no reward like it.

These were comparatively easy,

They all did something unique in their own way.

They came from Manchester,

They came in the control room,

They have an attitude somewhere else.

They mirrored what we wanted to be.

They were all falsetto lead singers.

They were almost like twins.

They were always recording.

They were calling in, saying, "Who is this?

They were good friends of mine from Australia.

They were having to hire extra staff in some cinemas

They were in perfect synchrony.

They were on the roof. They were at the window.

They were working on "You Should Be Dancing."

They were, like, triple platinum.

They would be able to craft something good,

They would increase the number of screens.

They would literally go into the studio

They would not be together.

They would say the same thing:

They would write on the spot,

They would've been hits.

They'd give him a hat, give him a badge.

They'd say, "Right, here we go.

They'd try to keep Robin

They're like, "Nah, we're gonna sing it."

Things started to just improve over time, you know?

This billion dollar industry was being built

This clickity click thing was going on in this bridge

This is amazing."

This is Andy Gibb here in Miami,

This is Andy Gibb here in Miami,

This is how I do it.

This is paradise.

This was a different take on disco.

This was the biggest moment of our lives.

This was the funniest kid you could ever meet.

Those are just those are R&B records."

Those early records sound like the Beatles' early records.

Those lyrics, "There's a certain kind of light

Those songs are so good.

Thought it sounded like a chicken.

Three brothers who changed my life

Threw 'em in a giant box,

Through the stained glass window

Till the day we sing them.

To 20 year old former Miss Edinburgh

To a magazine article, of which there was no story.

To be number one."

To carry the industry.

To correct the record," and all that stuff.

To dance together

To find, like, you know, another groove.

To get involved with for commercial reasons.

To get to the top or near the top,

To have a number one in England,

To have an artist singing one of our songs

To have another ear in the control room

To hear what they were doing as a whole.

To help him sleep at night.

To make a record deal for them.

To make a three part harmony.

To produce them.

To say about them is, "Oh, I don't like them.

To stop them dancing in the aisles.

To suit the falsetto.

To take us away from the original melody

To walk the streets or go out at all.

To what we could be individually.

To whom our records mean a lot.

To write songs with him, to teach him to be a star.

To your younger brother

Took me down there to see Otis.

Try to grab 'em, hold on to 'em, or whatever.

Turned out to be the bargain of the century, of course,

Two number one records in America,

Unaccountably, the head of his record label.

Usually, you know, at the end, you know,

Very strong, very loyal.

Waiting for us to arrive.

Wandering the corridors of the hotel.

Was a keyboard player,

Was almost anti Bee Gees at that point.

Was I 16? Maybe I was even 17.

Was it difficult taking the woman's perspective?

Was just mostly Black records.

Was so profound.

Was that we were singing in harmony,

Was what guys should say, didn't say, couldn't say,

Was, "You must see this film."

Watching your show and loving it, you know,

Way before the Bee Gees.

We actually had that in the can.

We all wanted individual recognition.

We are thrilled to be joined by a brother like no other,

We became a real band again.

We became more and more unified.

We became the Bee Gees again.

We copied it over to a...

We couldn't do anything as the Bee Gees at all.

We create better here than we do anywhere else.

We did an album called "Spicks and Specks,"

We did, against all odds.

We didn't always connect, but we stayed around.

We didn't think there was gonna be much of a future.

We fell in love with the Mills Brothers.

We felt like we'd arrived.

We found a bar that we thought had a really nice feel to it.

We got a cassette, and to this day, it's amazing.

We got the songs.

We gotta write a New York kind of song."

We had a great guitar player, Alan.

We had done through clubs and everything,

We had the same love of the same kind of music.

We had the same sense of humor.

We had to adopt a new attitude.

We had to adopt a new sound.

We just had different periods,

We just had this dream,

We just sat on the steps,

We kicked it up.

We knew they were busy.

We looked alike. We had the same birthmarks.

We loved each other.

We loved the Spinners, the Delfonics.

We managed to defy the criticism

We never really see who buys those records.

We really could not get on the radio.

We really got it together as a group.

We recorded "Night Fever" first.

We respected each other's opinions,

We seemed to hit it off, so I came back the next day.

We started writing songs for this voice.

We thought that we might get a hit in England,

We thought, "Let's leave it with them."

We used to dream of this.

We usually write our lyrics in the studio itself.

We wanted a title that captured the imagination,

We went, "What?"

We were booked to record in France

We were breaking new ground.

We were just still Barry, Maurice, and Robin

We were just thinking about writing songs

We were no longer living the same life.

We were one of those people Robert needed

We were playing the stadiums.

We were scattered all over the place

We were sort of, like, in our own little world,

We were writing our new album and just having fun doing it.

We will assume that role

We would always know

We wouldn't have lasted half an hour.

We wrote "Lonely Days,"

We'd just done most of the vocal tracks.

We'll make happen.

We'll replace it with real drums,"

We're [laughs]

We're gonna be really famous.

We're gonna take hostages.

We're just making music.

We're letting people in.

We're not a political force.

We've discovered a new audience.

We've got a soundtrack."

Well, he was going through a divorce with Lulu.

Well, listen, we took all the disco records

Well, we've got more.

Were, for me, thrilling,

What "Saturday Night Fever" has grossed thus far?

What are you doing? This is a private session!

What do we want to be famous for?"

What he's gonna do on the drums.

What is it that drives you back on the road?

What is the shit you're gonna take?

What it was like back then for gay people.

What particular thing about the studio

What the fever has done is made

What was that? I'm not showing you now.

What we're gonna do after the show.

What you might be able to do,

What's the deal?"

When I looked over and saw Barry and Robin

When I was only five months old,

When it came to just doing anything without a pill,

When might this happen? When might that happen?

When there was just no interest in us at all.

When they get so successful,

When things get to that point,

When we were working like that,

When you become famous, you think everyone loves you

When you talk about it, it all comes back, you know?

Where does that talent go?

Where he felt very shy of being in public

Where I was ready for anything.

Where there's money to be made,

Where they began to look for other things to do.

Where they were moving tapes around

Where we started to communicate again.

Where we're gonna have a wild night tonight,

Whereby if the record got to the top 20,

Wherever we went on tour,

Which became the international smash.

Which followed that,

Which is about, can you make the body move?

Which is something very special in men.

Which is where we were born.

Which reflected the idea that we'd been broken up.

Which we didn't before that.

Which would be the follow up to "Children of the World."

Who don't believe in you."

Who is this guy?

Who kept the calm between Dad and us.

Who were the champions of their era come and go.

Who were very proactive and who'd had some success.

Whoever was playing on those records,

Why can't it be in every single city?"

Why don't you come and play guitar?"

Why not?

Will do something for you?"

Will you make my record?"

With "Saturday Night Fever."

With a family member

With a lot of people who were doing drugs,

With a loud "Disco sucks" chant.

With calling the newspapers up.

With Eric.

With radio stations in America,

With these millions of dollars?

With these songs.

With what was going on with "Fever."

With your family

Within the song to write the song.

Wondering what the hell's going on.

Would be to give him that success,

Would you like to verify those rumors?

Writing songs that aren't Bee Gees songs.

Wrote this piece for "New York" magazine,

WXLO, but it was known as 99X.

Yeah. Beautiful.

You called "NME" or you called "Disc" or "Music Echo"

You can buy a Fender Stratocaster

You can see it. Like, where are the pitfalls?

You can't sing like the Bee Gees,

You don't know how to behave.

You don't know how to experience it.

You gotta react to the thing. What line?

You have no idea how much we dreamed of this

You have some ad libs or some kind of thing

You know, "Stayin' Alive," "More Than a Woman,"

You know, "Why are people doing this?"

You know, a little off the beaten path.

You know, and after all the work

You know, are you interested?"

You know, at one time, there was three brothers,

You know, doing all these phases

You know, have radio being feeling ostracized

You know, if I was out there myself,

You know, it's a lot of years.

You know, it's just magic.

You know, it's like, you don't see much

You know, just the most amazing experience.

You know, Maurice was mar

You know, none of that stuff.

You know, or without a drink.

You know, some people are a footnote.

You know, they sing like angels.

You know, we could've left it another year,

You know, we were creative,

You know?

You receive songs.

You should be shaking that thing one time.

You sound like a bloody nanny goat."

You think it's gonna solve all your problems,

You think maybe an Academy Award nomination?"

You think, "Shit," you know?

You understand about the ups and downs.

You understand is running everything.

You went to breakfast; you had a cup of tea.

You would buy a disco bannered record

You're gonna get a drunk person

You're in a sort of goldfish bowl on tour.

You're not gonna keep all this, you know."

You're out of control of the whole thing.

You've ever written for the movie."

You've gotta be incredibly driven,

Your career will go out the window, everything."

Your creative awareness, and your artistic voice.

15,000 others had to be turned away.

18 million double albums worldwide.

461 Ocean Boulevard.

"Main Course" and "Children of the World,"

"Main Course" became a turning point for us.

"Massachusetts" from the Bee Gees.

"Nights on Broadway" was one of those.

A friend of mine, Nik Cohn,

A lot of new music has been coming out of Miami lately,

A new era of dance music started

After "Children of the World" album,

After the Barbra Streisand album,

Ahmet Ertegun said to Robert,

Alan Kendall, who was a friend of mine,

Albhy had an inroad into technology,

Albhy used to hang around the studio,

Albhy went to Berklee School of Music

All of a sudden now, we had to work the clubs

All of a sudden, he was the big thing.

All of a sudden, we'll wake each other's

All right. [punchy synth notes]

All the Gibb brothers together, the Bee Gees,

All three of us became isolated,

All three of us had the same understanding

And "New York Mining Disaster" was born then.

And certain songs sounded like

And for those of us at the radio station,

And from "Jive Talkin'" onwards,

And I just hope and pray

And I was really surprised

And I'm sure it happened at that point.

And if you haven't had enough Bee Gees music yet,

And it was amazing.

And John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever."

And Mum and Dad had their own place,

And spliced the tape into a loop.

And the album?

And then Andy Gibb too.

And then I just

And then suddenly, out of nowhere,

And we got a call from Robert Stigwood.

And we thought, "Well, what could come from that?"

Andy joined us onstage for "You Should Be Dancing,"

Andy was a gift out of left field.

Andy was a great kid.

Andy was very young then.

Andy? Andy...

Anyway, the most important thing is

Are we almost ready? Let's do it.

Arif brought it out of us, all that.

Arif suggested to the band,

Arif was so instrumental in producing Black artists,

Around 110 million. [audience cheers]

At Caxton Hall,

At Caxton Hall, VIP transport

At that time, you know,

At the clubs,

At the same time

At the time, Robert was my manager.

Barry and Carl and I lived in that control room,

Barry offered him the job.

Barry was Andy's idol.

Barry was first,

Because it was gonna be our first single,

Because our music is a variety

Because you can dance to it, I mean,

Being in that house together,

Both of us wanted to be individual performers.

Brian Epstein, the man who built the Beatles

Brothers...

But also, we were getting songs ready

But I mean, that would be the record breaker of all time.

But my piano was so bad

But our own friends don't treat us the same way.

But the actual atmosphere of the place is very relaxing.

But then some executive in diapers decided,

But unfortunately,

But when you sell as many copies

Buy it today, be a disco star tonight.

Come on!

Could I ask, for example,

Could we see the Bee Gees back together again?

Dennis called and said,

Disco as a purely musical form

Do you feel personally threatened

Do you find you miss Robin and Maurice musically?

Driving backwards and forwards to Criteria,

Everybody in the control room woke up,

Everybody just seemed to be, I think, relieved

Everybody's giving me credit.

Everything came together.

Excuse me. Have you got a pen?

For a soundtrack to win Best Album was amazing.

For me, they connected from very early on.

Get him out of here. You can't come in here.

Get out on the dance floor

Great.

Great. Right here.

He brings helium to the studio,

He had to fly back to the UK, and we had no drummer.

He loved dressing up in police uniforms.

He played it for me, and I could tell

He said, "But I'm gonna need two or three songs."

He said, "I'm taking you to meet Ahmet Ertegun

He said, "Look,

He struck him out, and the ball game is over.

He was a teen idol.

He was looking for one of us to scream,

He was so cute.

Hello again, everybody.

Here they are, and get involved with the Bee Gees.

Here we go. Take ten.

Hey, guys. It's too slow.

Hi, Australia.

How 'bout the Bee Gees?

How did you people get back here?

How'd you feel last night?

I always say that making music

I am not high, for the record.

I do know that they had to change something.

I don't know.

I got a call from Barry,

I got back to the sessions, and there was just a buzz.

I got off the plane. I went straight to the studio.

I had already started a first verse and chorus.

I had six Rolls Royces before I was 21.

I hated it.

I have an obligation to my audience

I heard it, and I was absolutely astounded.

I just fell in love with the atmosphere here.

I just remember this music being on,

I like being spontaneous.

I mean, I must have always known

I mean, it was huge.

I mean, there was two albums in a row that were dismal.

I met the Bee Gees at "Top of the Pops."

I met the Gibbs when they were on a bit of a

I remember Barry saying that one day,

I remember going to the studio.

I remember him teaching me the showbiz smile,

I said, "Sounds fine to me, man.

I saw him in Malibu.

I think the first thing all of us did was

I think, over time,

I was a waitress at the Batley Variety Club.

I was about the number three engineer

I was always into arrangement of instruments.

I was an usher at Comiskey Park.

I was doing Brian's mail most of the time.

I was pretty good at imagining

I was there for two years.

I was working as an independent producer

I'd always loved the music,

I'd like to show you

I'm basically a very shy person.

I'm sorry, you can't come in here.

I'm speaking to you from a club in Hamburg,

If I was to say that was true,

If you said to me or anyone,

If you think about... ♪ Ha, ha, ha, ha ♪

If you've never been famous,

In America? In America, yeah.

In the beginning,

In the first week of release,

In those days, you knocked an album out in three weeks.

Ironically, the soundtrack to "Saturday Night Fever,"

Is that his wallet? It's a badge.

It all goes back to one thing

It created another dimension of sound

It did end up with them having half the top ten

It did make us close.

It is the biggest night of the year

It was a book burning.

It was a huge uprooting.

It was a process of building him up,

It was a very easy thing

It was a whole strange episode of our lives,

It was just as important for us

It was just necessity being the mother of invention.

It was just one after the other.

It was more about outlets for writing,

It was not just the Bee Gees

It was really kind of decrepit.

It was really me and Robin that were in conflict,

It was Robert who really pressed

It was so overwhelming,

It was strange, considering the amount of pressure

It wasn't the honky château that Elton John had used.

It wasn't the idea that they would do the soundtrack.

It's a close up. Okay.

It's a different emotional energy,

It's cheap. It's cheap, yeah.

It's classic '60s guitar pop sound,

It's delivered with such delicacy,

It's gonna be great.

It's here.

It's our way of doing things.

It's rolling.

It's the blend of the tones of each brother.

It's very hard to describe how we write,

Just typical kids, you know?

Ladies and gentlemen,

Ladies and gentlemen, our brother Andy.

Let's all grow up. We're just a pop group.

Let's disco to Burger King.

Like a radio transmitter. It's exactly like that.

Look at that crowd out there.

Making music was what we wanted to do

Maurice and I had moved to the Isle of Man,

Maurice Gibb and Lulu became Mr. and Mrs.

Maurice had this childlike quality,

Maurice had unique insight

Miami's a gateway city,

Molly was my first real love.

Mr. Epstein has been unwell now for some months.

Music is this huge energy flying around everywhere,

My dad, he was very, you know, "We gotta do this."

My father always used to call him the nanny goat.

My mother was in hospital. She had Alzheimer's.

My mother, she was always the person

My ninth Christmas,

Nearly 7,000 spectators held their very own demolition.

No one had taken a drumbeat before

No, I wasn't. Unfortunate.

No, no. At all, do you?

No, you didn't do it.

No. No, not at all.

No. Cheap it isn't, but

No. No. No.

Nobody could believe what was going on.

Now, château sounds absolutely gorgeous,

Now, Robin, you and Barry cowrote "Woman in Love,"

Now, what you have to remember at the time,

Oh, I'm Mr. Fix It.

Oh, no. [laughter]

Oh, no. [laughter]

Oh, no. I don't think it is.

Oh. [laughter]

Okay, fellas, when you're ready.

Okay, let's try it again. Okay.

Okay, let's usher Steve down to the explosives

Okay, you let us know when you're ready.

Okay. Let's go. Straight into it.

Once again, the fabulous Bee Gees.

One of their best qualities was adaptability.

Other movies were being put back

Our next guest tonight is Steve Dahl.

People loved him.

Perfect. Good.

Phone call came through from Robert,

Put them in the same house I'd rented for Eric Clapton,

Radio is, of course, very difficult to get back

Remember, we were on tour.

Robert called and said, "I need a title for the film."

Robert came and saw us when we were making the album,

Robert introduced us.

Robert runs up and he goes,

Robert said, "I'm sending you a script."

Robert sent us there

Robert Stigwood said,

Robert Stigwood, this is for you.

Robert was so eccentric.

Robin had a wit that no one could compete with.

Robin is not a person who would say,

Robin was a joyous kid.

Robin was always a bit of a loner.

Robin, that's a good picture.

So by '74,

So he went out there and he did

So I came over to the United States

So people hated disco.

So that was, I think, the straw

So the next step was, we brought Arif Mardin in

So the record industry wants to name it,

So we made up our own minds

Somebody mentioned that the Bee Gees were in town.

Somebody sent you a tape

Something about entering the world

Something different was happening,

Soul has always had a special place

Steve Dahl says,

Steve Dahl was kind of hard to avoid in Chicago.

Stigwood phoned up and said to Barry,

Stigwood said,

Story of my life, really. [laughs]

Suddenly, they realized

Thank you very much, Mr. Petersen.

Thank you.

Thank you. We love you.

That's a very strong point that it could be.

That's correct, yes. Do you miss 'em?

That's great, Rob.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

That's what Barry's voice reminds me of.

That's what we're here to talk about.

The '79 tour was a complete sellout.

The "Fever" thing happened.

The album, I think, is nearing

The anti disco movement

The backlash was a very frightening experience.

The Batley thing,

The Beatles have just arrived

The Bee Gees are not allowed to have a hit

The Bee Gees claim

The Bee Gees hadn't toured since 1976,

The Bee Gees,

The Bee Gees, I think, were stunned by their success.

The Bee Gees' point of view was about having hit records

The British group who move into number one this week

The fever has been contagious.

The first evening we were in there,

The first few times

The general fever at the time

The songwriting was just very unique.

The statistics are just incredible.

The studio there was unbelievable,

The third verse is four bars.

The three of us stopped looking inwards to each other

The way they changed

The way we rehearsed it last night.

Their world was crazy at that time.

There is a sort of

There was a lot of chaos that I didn't witness,

There was a lot of hits in that short time,

There was always a conflict between Barry and Robin

There was this thing about Stigwood [laughs]

There we were in the dark.

There were just crazy days.

There's nothing else to say about the Bee Gees

There's something to be said about all music

There's the Sunday evening I was leaving,

They already had a couple of tunes

They had expressed how much they wanted to do

They just did it naturally in the studio,

They started talking about synthesizers

They suggested that I go to Australia,

They turned pop music into an art form,

They were about to drop us.

They were just everywhere.

They'd say, "Okay, we're ready to roll," right?

They'd tell you as an usher, every now and then,

They're a brilliant chapter in the book of music.

They're worth waiting in the rain for.

This is '77.

This is actually a really important period

This is the first time we had ever taken the song

This was not right.

Three, four.

To travel the world when you're young

Tonight

Very few people realize

Very talented group of men, the Bee Gees.

We actually did an album with Arif before that,

We came back together, and we made

We did a show at the Saville Theatre,

We didn't categorize our songs as disco,

We didn't know we were defining the culture.

We didn't know what was going on

We don't usually write our lyrics

We emigrated as a whole family

We found another sound. We found a new sound.

We had a conversation with Eric

We had a great bass player, Maurice.

We had FBI and Secret Service

We had our first hit record within the first five months

We had the demos,

We had this fascination

We kind of saw ourselves as triplets

We loved the Beatles,

We made believe we were in a mine.

We needed to get more energized

We never really had a category.

We often thought we were triplets.

We seemed to be in the middle of nowhere.

We sent the record out

We thought the Bee Gees better go on the back burner

We thought, "Well, if this studio sounds that good,

We thought, "Well, we gotta carry on writing

We wanted to be a band so bad,

We were all very selfish at that point.

We were aware we were creating a specific sound,

We were completing "Nights on Broadway."

We were editing "Fever" on the lot at Paramount.

We were going there to mix a live album

We were perplexed,

We were staying in Barry's house,

We were very much alike.

We weren't writing the "Fever" music.

We wrote so many different types of song,

We'd always been boys going up together,

We'd been apart for two years.

We'd been kids living together with each other

We'd been together all our lives, don't forget.

We'd been together since Robin and I were five,

We'd come from England,

We'd grown up together playing in bands in Cardiff.

We'd often work with other people,

We're down at Criteria Sound Studios,

We're getting ready to record the next album,

We've always been influenced by Black music.

We've been here since 9:00 this morning.

Well, backlash, I'm really good on.

Well, I was in Studio B,

Well, I was speaking to one of my friends the other day,

Well, it's not really a matter

What are you doing

What are you doing with your millions of dollars?

What the Bee Gees brought,

What we ended up doing was the demos of these songs.

What, from a distance, they treat you?

When "Jive Talkin'" came out,

When Brian died and we restructured NEMS,

When I got older, I recognized

When I think about it now,

When I was at Berklee, I had studied things

When the Beatles came on the scene,

When we brought out "Spirits Having Flown,"

When we did it, we thought,

When we got back home, I turned to more drinking.

When we got to Miami, all of a sudden, sunshine,

When we make records and when we're in the studio,

When we sing songs like...

When we went to Europe,

When we were broken up,

When you got up in the morning,

When you listen to the drum track

When you think that

When you write a song with someone in mind

Whoa! [laughter]

Whoever this man was, he really believed in us.

Yeah, do it again. Do it again.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. All right.

Yeah. [chuckles]

Yeah. Just like that.

Yeah. That was the only thing to do.

Yes, I can safely say it's changed our lives.

Yes, I do.

Yes, it's already the biggest grossing album

Yes, they did.

You can't deny talent,

You can't go buy that sound in a shop.

You don't mind the Bee Gees in the rain?

You go back and look at their body of work,

You got the lyrics? Yes.

You know, all the feelings,

You know, I mean, that's the voice.

You know, if they'd not been brothers,

You know, when you do all those things,

You know, you listen to that tape,

You really don't wanna be labeled "disco"...

You think, by marrying someone

You were not among the looters?

You're right on the top of the world.

You've got the brothers singing,

Yvonne came in, and I saw her eyes.

'cause he was good at magic tricks,

'cause I got that vibe from them.

'cause in those days,

'cause it was Atlantic who were paying

'cause of the bomb threats.

'cause of the Elton John album "Honky Château."

'Cause Robin would go... [silly vocalization]

'cause that song is just, like, in the ether.

'cause they both had fantastic voices

'cause they weren't necessarily selling out.

'Stayin' Alive' and 'Night Fever.'"

"'Massachusetts' has just gone to number one."

"And after you've met Barry, if you don't wanna do it,

"and everyone will play it at a party

"and I've spoken to Barry, and everybody's in agreement.

"and maybe the change of environment

"and we're gonna blow those records up

"Barry, you call Robin."

"Billboard" started a chart that was dance music chart.

"But have you got some songs?" Robert said,

"but it sounds a bit too pornographic.

"by this guy called Robert Stigwood.

"called '461 Ocean Boulevard' in Miami.

"Can you believe this shit?"

"Carl, have I got a group for you."

"ch, ch ch, ch ch."

"Do that falsetto again. Do that falsetto again."

"Everyone else likes, you know, 'How Deep Is Your Love.'

"for 98¢

"Gee, can I get together with you guys?

"He's Australian

"hell yeah, let's go off to France.

"Hey, guys.

"Hey, what do you think?

"Hey, you know, we really need some kind of background parts

"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?"

"How Deep Is Your Love," "If I Can't Have You,"

"How's your little disco movie coming along?"

"I need the best love song

"I think I'm interested. Yeah. I am interested."

"I think it's a little slower tempo.

"I'm signing John Travolta to a three picture deal,"

"If they can write those songs,

"if you bring a disco record,

"if you're ever going to break out brand new,

"instead of always making an album in England,

"It's a nice car out there, that Porsche.

"Just go and write a hit song right now,"

"Let's give the band half a point or a quarter."

"Let's put 'disco'

"Look, you know, I'm putting a band together

"Massachusetts" is probably the first song,

"meet Barry.

"Moment by Moment,"

"Night Fever"

"No, no, I'm sorry, lads. We can't help you."

"Oh, I love my brothers,"

"One day, we're gonna have houses in America

"Put all of your favorite disco tracks

"Really nice.

"Robin said this about me, and I just wanna be able

"Saturday Night Fever" as well, you know.

"take a bar out of 'Night Fever'?

"That pattern you're playing right now

"that record, that record, that record,

"That record, that record, that record,

"That's so cool."

"The Bee Gees are gonna go on a tour,

"The Bee Gees? 'Broken Heart' Bee Gees?

"This is gonna be it.

"This is how it's gotta be."

"this stuff will vanish.

"those aren't disco records.

"To hell with what my brothers think."

"To Love Somebody,"

"To Love Somebody" was born that night.

"Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night."

"We sold 8 billion records last year.

"We'll slow it down a little bit

"We're doing this recording.

"We're gonna let everybody in the White Sox park

"We're gonna start from scratch.

"We're just doing this temporarily,"

"Well, can you call Robin and tell him

"Well, I'm quitting the group."

"Well, what does Maurice think?"

"Well, you're not using Arif anymore

"What I've got at the moment," I said, "is two titles:

"What was that?"

"where is this coming from?

"Who do you think can continue where you left off?"

"Why do we wait for the release of the film?

"Why don't you guys make an album in America

"with the Bee Gees,

"Would you come and see the boys?"

"you don't move your eyes

"You gotta shock the pants off these people

"you gotta start now.

"You know, maybe their time has gone,"

"You Should Be Dancing,"

"You Should Be Dancing."

"You Should Be Dancing" exploded.
