It wasn't a disco song, so for those of you who think that they are a disco group, no, they aren't, the Bee Gees are timeless great music who know no genre. ❤
Such a great reaction video. Thanks for being so respectful of the music & song. Watching your face & seeing how much you enjoy that great classic made it all the more fun to watch. Massachusetts is my favorite Bee Gees song. Always love hearing Robin's voice. Just so incredible & tremendously unique, and the perfect harmonies the Brothers Gibb delivered time & time again is amazing.
Eternal song Robin’s voice is so unique Barry’s harmony is beautiful and so is the Mo The Massachusetts sing at the Vegas concert in 1997 is the most excellent And professional ❤❤❤❤❤brothers Gibb the greatest band ever
Glad you’re feeling better. Yes this song is Beautiful. Robin’s voice is Superior on this. Those Gibb brothers sure could write songs and damn sure sing them
Chad, I have a question for you. I was born in the 50s, so I grew up with the Bee Gees music. I have been a fan my entire life. My question for you - why are you so drawn to the Bee Gees? What is that one thing about them that has reeled you in? I am so glad you younger folks are keeping their music alive.
Hello, Lynne. WELL... after all the interviews, comedy skits and background strolls down memory lane, I've found they are very down-to-earth, relatable, and humble gentlemen, unlike a lot of the celebrities today. But most of all, their angelic harmonies. None like it.
It's Vince!!!! Beautiful Vince. (your arrow was pointing at Colin BTW) This Sydney concert is my favorite of the "One Night Only" group. He plays three songs with them and then Mo thanks him. My heart my heart! BUT, Robin, sweet Robin. The song has his heart in it. If you think about 1967-68, that's when the "summer of love" happened in San Francisco. It was the destination of the flower power kids. Robin wanted to write a song about being homesick and wanting to go home. In this case, the lyrics made Massachusetts home. They heard it went to Number 1 when they were on stage at "Top of the Pops." They said they don't even know what they sounded like that night. Mo thought it was not their best work LOL. Love this. Thanks Chad.
@@susieq9801 His 78 year old self still has my stomach doing flip flops. Did you hear his band doing the Bee Gees' "Come Some Christmas Eve?" I just heard it. He said his band, Tall Poppy Syndrome, did "Robin's song." I don't remember it from the 60's. They released it before Christmas in 2021 and Vince said it got quite a bit of airplay. I like it.
Hi Chad!!! awww, our beloved ROBIN... his vulnerable voice, his vibration, his feeling... Robin suffered a lot as Billy Joel reminds him... everyone focused on Barry and they called him "the ugliest"... and he had very bad marriages, not like BARRY...the songs where Robin is the main line, are applauded, it's like you do, that sensation of chills, that penetrates you to the soul...Yes, ROBIN was the first number 1 ..1989 in Melbourne is so exciting how self-conscious it is with the applause and endless screams, like in I started a joke... thank you for loving them without having lived them... for those of us who are 15,20,30 years older than you, they were our greatest worship. Does the arrow point to Colin Peterson? the little blonde was a drummer, but Vince continued with them like Alan Kendall and BLUE himself, they talk in the biopic that meeting, living and making music with them was the most wonderful thing that happened to them and it changed their lives...and they don't lie !! They were a family with everyone who approached... thank you, Chad, thank you RU-vid, I had not seen many things or realized that they had done... a big hug!!! , 😊, ❤️😍🥰
I’m so glad you’re back and feeling better! I knew you didn’t do your marathon two weeks ago because of Easter and I knew something must’ve been keeping you from doing it last week as well, since you never just skip a week for no reason, but I didn’t know what. Well, now I do. I’m sorry you were sick! I was so happy to see another reaction to multiple performances of another amazing Bee Gees song! I think it sounds absolutely amazing anytime they sang it! My favorite thing they did with this song is the times they’d all hold out that “Ah!” note at the very end of it. I think it’s so beautiful that I always wish they’d always ended the song like that. I love that Vince Melouney was at their 1999 One Night Only concert and that they got him to perform a song they’d recorded while he was a part of the Bee Gees with them! And, I love the silliness between the bros and that Billy Joel was one of the people who called during their Live by Request concert, which was in 2001! I love that concert too! But, I’ve never seen it on DVD, just all there is of it on RU-vid, which seems to me to be the entire concert, but I’m guessing isn’t actually, since it’s been released on DVD. I’d love to watch the DVD version sometime! Thanks for, yet, another amazing marathon! I look forward to the next one!
Chad, if you are planning to do more of this, well "I Started a Joke" would be a great one to hear through the years, and you could throw in Vince's acoustic guitar instrumental tribute as the finale.
I recently stumbled onto your channel and so glad I did. I have been a Bee Gee fan since the Disco era. I did some research and found they had been singing and writing since childhood. My favorite band of all time. They will always be #1 they are timeless. I love all their voices and harmonies and Barry's falsetto. Talented song writers as well. I have so many favorite Bee Gee songs that I can't pick just one. I enjoyed this reaction video and watching you Chad as you were singing along. Thank you for putting the Bee Gee weekends together brings me back to good memories. I love your channel and watching your first time reactions to the Bother's Gibb, oldies and classics that I grew up listening to. I have so much fun watching the younger generations reactions when they discovery the music of the 60's & 70's. Missing Andy, Maurice, & Robin. Gone but never forgotten. Bee Gee fan forever, from Texas. 💞
Ahhh...you missed the best one! Check out their appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. It's just their voices, Barry's acoustic guitar, and Mo's sense of humor!
Good morning Chad! So glad you're feeling better. Many prayers for you.🙏 It's so good to have you back. You were so missed. There's just no one that reacts to the Bee Gees like you do. Always so genuine and heartfelt. Thank you for these beautiful versions of Massachusetts. What a song! Robin at his best..all the Brother's Heavenly harmonies..perfection.🎶🎶🎶 There's not a day goes by that I don't listen to the Brothers Gibb. They are my heart..my passion.❤️ Thank you once again for sharing your passion for them. Take care of yourself. My prayers will continue to be with you.🙏 Have a wonderful day and may God bless.😊🌻♥️
Always love the all-in-one-athon! The only thing missing was when they would sing it during a talk show w just a guitar while sitting on the couch. Just pure talent. Thanks Chad!!!
Precioso tema el de Massachuset.Este tema salió cuando yo tenía 1 año.La voz de Robin era muy peculiar,igual que la de Barry y Maurice.La voz de Andy era igual a la de Barry.Los Bee Gees eran los mejores!🎤🎸♥️♥️♥️♥️
Chad, glad you're "back in the saddle" and feeling better. You got a haircut too! So nice to see Vince again. Their 60's five piece band was tight with Vince and Colin! "Massachusetts", as you know, is literally what saved both Robin's life and The Bee Gees' career since he and Molly splurged due to the success of the song and had first class tickets for the 1967 train wreck. Those who died were in second class coaches. I know you requested 50 likes in order to react to a song. My concern is that some may not know some of their more obscure stuff, especially from their earlier career. I have seen comments in the past like "Oh, I've never heard that song before". Like yourself when you started, some may be unaware of many earlier and later gems. Even some of their Australian performances were gems like "Little band of gold" and some of their fun songs like "Mr Wallor's Wailing Wall", "Craise Finton Kirk" and their "Saving Prince Wally" are a lot of fun! The same is true for other groups like The Kinks, Dave Clark V and others who were huge in the 60's. Hope you change your mind and maybe decide to break your own rule. 😁 Have a great week.
Can you stand one more reference to Vince? I think he feels the same as you about the creativity of the early work. In a 2022 interview he said "there was a lot of soul in the band. We were really into what we were doing... Incredible songs like "Harry Braff," "Birdie Told Me," "Indian Gin And Whiskey Dry," "The Change Is Made," "The Earnest Of Being George." There was a bunch of stuff there that was really "off the wall" and... we had that freedom and at the same time, people liked what we were doing and we became more and more popular. It was quite an adventure, I got to say." He also mentioned when talking about the three brothers that Robin seemed so much more traditionally English than Mo and Barry, except he called them the other "two lads." That sounds a bit English too. LOL
I have two elder brothers +5 and +4 and I never forget when the elder one in 1963 runs in our kitchen to switch on the radio telling to mother „There are the Beatles in the radio“ by the way I was 10 years old. A year later arround they both with friends build a party room in our cellar to held parties with friends and girlfriends on weekends. So I had a chance to get in contact with Pop music from these early years onwards by the discs collected in our cellar and of course radio. Beatles, Stones, Herman Hermits, Beach Boys, Kinks, Manfred Man, there are many many Pop Music artists I have in my mind from the beginning of Pop Music in the 60ties. In 1967 I heard the first time the Bee Gees with Massachusetts and the sound of this song close to the Flower Power „anthem“ from Scott Mc Kenzie - San Francisco - and then the following hit Words catched me to the Bee Gees sound forever. My first concert I visited was from the Bee Gees in Cologne in 1968. Unforgetable the start with NY Mining desaster without lights, absolut darkness in the Cologne Sport halle. the first owned LP i bought was Odessa. A second and Unfortunately last concert I visited was in 1988 in Frankfurt. To see here how the fill stadions with their 2009 tour is amazing, having fandom over 4 decades over the world.
It's nice to have you back safe and sound, Chad. This song is never going to get old. You did a great reaction. Thank you for that. But I think it's more the song "I started a joke" that's Robin's signature song. I noticed, by the way, you didn't tag Vince Melouny in the picture, you tagged Colin Peterson. How about a reaction to the song "Trash." It's nothing special. Robin did it for Sesame Street, I think, so it's more of a nursery rhyme, but I think it's cute.
Hello there, and thanks for your feedback! Good news, I've covered "Deja Vu" and here's the link to my reaction: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-swCio1U7xWo.htmlsi=gNq2SZPo42NPLP9X
Chad, I'm glad you're feeling better. I've been a little under the weather myself lately but this great reaction was just what the doctor ordered! What an amazing chronological series of one of Robin's most beloved leads. From teenager years to 2001 he never skipped a beat and gave us beautiful music from his heart and soul. Thank you, Chad, for doing this for Robin. We are so grateful that you took the time to put this amazing video together for us.
❤❤❤Nossa Chad! Foi lindo demais👏👏👏👏👏👏 Viagei em todos os tempos, é de arrepiar mesmo a voz de Robin, era linda demais! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✨😍💪Amo ❤❤❤ Robin ❤❤❤ 🇧🇷 Amo os Bee Gees ❤❤❤ Vídeo maravilhoso Chad👏👏👏👏👏🤗
Excellent, but you missed my favorite performance of this iconic song - the One for All Tour 1989. I guess there are just too many to get them all in. Thanks
I’m glad the disco era made The Bee Gees filthy rich, but the before and after will always be my focus. The 1997 one with Vince was from their concert in the giant stadium in Sydney. The last one was from the Live By Request special.
Can I make one more mention of Vince? Please? In about 1976-77 he was working on a couple of new songs. He said he called Barry to work out the ideas and came away with two songs recorded on a cassette. Vince said Barry invited him over to work on the music and he was also so happy to see Mo and his family. He had been waiting for an opportunity to release, and last year "Let It Ride" finally came out. Vince is playing with some serious guitar chops on this energized recording. I'm going to include a YT link. The Band is Called "Tall Poppy Syndrome." Vince plays lead guitar, and the drummer is from "Blondie." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IPgVnqaZmVs.html
@@kthor Wow, that's a great version. The vocals are great and I love Vince's lead guitar!! I read the remaining Kinks sent messages of approval too. That's a fun indie sound.
Thanks Chad ....love this format that you're doing...... wonder if there's a similar computation to be found for Maurice and Andy....I haven't seen any...... but would love to see your reaction if it's available....so glad to see you're better.....please keep well..... 16:40
Glad you better chad x Massachusetts is all all time fav song just love the 67 version . When ever i hear it song it makes me smile . Lovley reaction thanks chad x
Hello, Kay... Good news! I've covered this song a few years back. Here's a link to my reaction: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LR5_6AQ5X6A.htmlsi=TQk71oeM-rMJZNPt
Robin's voice is always lovely but it wasn't as strong from the mid 90s onwards. My favourite live versions are from the mid 1970s usually but my favourite version of Massachusetts is from the Parkinson Show in the early 1980s.
If you want to see another side to the Bee Gees you should check out the Bee Gees Midnight Special Intros video which shows the comical side to their personalities and check out their outfits as well! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fu0FwCzNwW8.html
Thanks, Chad.. I'm struck in the first video how much Barry looks like the younger bro Andy... Robin has always been my favorite.. the most unique and vulnerable voice... Love your reactions! (p.s. Robin was never "cool".. it's weird to see him in sunglasses and "leather".. so not him... lol).. finally, you are missing one amazing performance of this song.. Live on the Johnny Carson Show.. Robin is featured singing, and Barry on harmonies and guitar.. with Maurice in the middle "clowning" and trying to crack his brother up, b/c his vocals were less featured.. love this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xF78_zIKTcY.html)\
Chad, please check out "Last Forever, a tribute to Maurice Gibb", by Edinho Santa Cruz. I know you will love it. Beautiful lyrics and music. Find it on RU-vid. Thanks. Love all of your reactions!
