This shows how naturally talented they were. No need for auto tune or other electronic tricks. Just raw talent.

Just three brothers singing and playing acoustic guitar. Unlike anything we have ever seen, pure magic. Impromptu, they sound as good as they did in the studio.

WOW, very minimal and almost acapella, and.....they sound great

Robin was always my favorite voice. And you’re right, he always does sound like he is on his last leg. That’s why he sounded so great with songs like I started a joke and I just got to get a message to you.

My favorite song by The Bee Gees. 2024 here.

Loved Robin's vocals especially, always liked his songs (the ones he sang lead on) the best. Goosebumps for this 66 year old man.

Their harmonies are in perfect sinc. I love the days where music didn’t need auto tune or a laundry list of producers to make something so timeless. Just talent and the creative know how to put words into song. No Twitter clap backs needed. No face tats and Instagram followers wanted. Can’t imagine a world without this kind of purity.

Their consistancy is so professional. They have perfect body clocks

This just shows the stunning talent these brothers possessed. Almost not fair, that there is it that much talent in 3 brothers...

I think Robin has a haunting and vulnerable sadness to his voice. It's just beautiful.

Such beautiful voices and harmony. Barely any accompaniment, not cleaned up in post production; just live pure talent.

One of the reasons Robin's voice was un- replicable is because he had a natural very fast and narrow vibrato. Most vibratos that people teach their vocal chords to do are much wider and slower because that's much easier to accomplish. A wider vibrato goes above and below the note by a fair amount, while the narrow vibrato that Robin had stays close to right on the note. Very unique quality to his voice. Beautiful!

You can never go wrong with The Bee Gees.

Robin was unique!❤😢

My personal favourite Bee Gees song Robin has the most beautiful voice

Great selection, Craig! My emotions are mixed seeing the brothers so alive and well killing this song on a moments notice. Nothing lasts forever - grasp it while you can. The Bee Gees were the gold standard.

Yes I Agree BEAUTIFUL VERSION. LOVE THE BEEGEES

The pre-disco Bee Gees were the best Bee Gees.

I honestly thought I loved the BeeGees until this song came out. It was when I heard this that I truly loved them.

I love “Massachusetts.” Thanks, Harry! Love these reactions. Also, I love “Alone.” Bee Gees are great!

Stunning. What exemplary musicians, all. You look up any live version of any song they do, and you will see perfection, every time.

The Bee Gees were awesome, especially their earlier songs, I especially love when Robin sings the lead

Another amazing accoustic song, "Blue island"😊

Robins voice like no other!

Love the Bee Gees. Every song a hit. Their harmonies are just perfect. Massachusetts reminds me of the beautiful Cape Cod coastline. Massachusetts was named for an Algonquian Indian word that means "a big hill place." RIP Maurice, Robin and Andy. xxx

Great reaction! A lot of people do not realize that the BeeGees were popular and had many hit songs before their Saturday Night Fever fame.

I agree. Robin was always my favorite, not to put Maurice or Barry down. They’re all sublime. God bless the Brothers Gibb.

50s 60s 70s 80s 90s and the beginning of 2000 their voices have never changed

The Bee Gees were such a talented group. What a great version. Harri you picked a winner.. Wonderful reaction Harri. So very unique. Great request Craig

There is no one or group that comes close in this day and time to The Brothers Gibb. Robin's voice shines so strong in this version that as much as I love Barry's voice, Robin is every bit his equal.

Wow, stunning performance..

I've never heard this song done live, or acoustically. It was wonderful. The Bee Gees never fail to amaze.😎👍👍

That voice is unmistakable and astonishing and the harmonies, gosh!!

I remember the first time I heard this song I was in the navy and my ship was off the coast of Vietnam...while up on a deck a shipmate was listening to a little transistor radio and he called me knowing I was from Massachusetts and he said you have to hear this...loved the Bee Gees ....and I heard later they never been to Massachusetts at the time they recorded this song..

That voice so eloquent, so vulnerable and has such a unique vibratto, unlike any other singer i have heard. Barry's voice is stunning, too, but it is a bit different but that is why they compliment each other so well.

No other band could harmonise like the Bee Gee's

They were absolutely incredible together, Barry with his falsetto also has a unique voice. This song was taking me down memory lane. I had an old family friend that going back to the 1940's. He used to play with My Mum's Sister back then when they were kids. They didn't care about the eyebrows they raised because She had mainly European Decent and He was Aboriginal. All they saw when looking at each other was Their Friend. His Youngest Daughter and I have been Close Friends since we were teenagers in the 90's. I didn't have a Best Friend, I had 3 Close ones. Anyway when I was in my 20s another one of those Close Friends and I were staying at their house 🏡. We were getting ready to go to a party across the street. I was ready early so I went to hang out with him and his wife while I waited. He got out his guitar then started singing this song and I started harmonising with him. When we were ready to leave, he was clearly disappointed. From then on we started performing together at parties. It was so sad when he developed Alzheimers and couldn't Perform anymore. About a year ago he passed away in his sleep. As a side note I have a Brother-in-law in Redcliffe just outside Brissie (Brisbane) who lived around the block from The Bee Gees. He used to play gigs with them at a local pub as teenagers. A few years back Barry visited the area, he said hello to my Brother-in-law and called him by name.

The Beegees did it all

Yes, phantastic! Strange news, so I've been reading that on the Rolling Stone magazine, Bee Gees are placed on Nr. 95 of best songwriters in music-history. 95??????????????? What the hell is goin' on with those ingnorant and arrogant, bloody bastard critizens. Bros. Gibb are holding so many records and Nr. 1 songs. Wrote about 1100 songs over nearly 5 decades. Were overlooked and written down so many times. But always came back, jumping over the hurdles which were thrown in their way. Please check'em out with a song, called 'Blue Island', live and unplugged on MTV-Most Wanted, in 1993 I think. You'll get perfect harmonies again!

Nobody dared trying to copy Robin's voice or his iconic leads because it was impossible. Barry said many copied or even mocked his falsetto but nobody tried to copy Robin. His vibrato was superb. He had his own echo. Vibrato is a rapid but spot on variation in pitch many times in a millisecond and you either have it or you don't. It is like AC current and an effect of the central nervous system on the vocal chords. There are a few singers out there with good vibrato but the quality of his voice combined with his vibrato was unparalleled. Such a loss - both twins. Two of my favorite Robin leads are "Black Diamond" and "Country Lanes but there are dozens that I love. Together these brothers made magic.

The sound of this song always made me sad but I really bery much

Raw and hauntingly beautiful...!

They ended that same interview with Silent Night as it was near Christmas. The best performance of it I have ever heard.

Watching Robin sing this song, the emotional look on his face, is just powerful.

OMG!!! LOVE THIS VERSION...it is that quiver in Robin's voice

Acoustic. The best way to listen to the most beautifully blended chorus of genetics to be placed on vinyl. Heavenly. Shades of an irreplaceable era in time. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Craig. Lovely song. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

One of my favorites! I prefer their earlier non-disco sound. "Gotta get a Message to You" is another good one of that type. It should also be noted that they are seated for this performance which constricts the breathing & most performers prefer to stand to better control the diaphragm.

Gives me goosebumps. So much talent

This is amazing! I'd never heard this performance before. Just lovely.

Barry, Maurice, Robin...so great together.

I love their "folky" stuff like this the most.

They had so many great songs, but this one gives me goosebumps. Just a beautiful song.

A bit of trivia- The Bee Gees had never set foot in Massachusetts at the time this song was released. They had only toured a few places in New York. When asked about it, one of them said- "It just sounded like a great name."

I'd love to watch you react to this whole interview.......their interviews are very entertaining......

I wasn't a fan of disco, but I loved the early Bee Gees.

Loved Robin's voice.. it was just amazing. And the harmonies..you can't get better than sibling harmony.. You just can't.. look at all the groups.. over the year with sibling harmony.... I've know in my life time.. Osmonds, Jacksons Bee Gees .... on and on

His son Spencer sounds a lot like him. Check out Spencer’s song Empty Room. He sounds like his dad. Check out the rest of their kids with The Gibb Collective in Please Don’t Turn out the Lights.

They have voices that are so angelic. I’m glad you chose this one to listen to.

Oh my dear God, thank you for the brothers Gibb!!!!!!!!

One of my many favorites from The Bee Gees!!!

Wow, I had not seen this acoustic version. Thank you for selecting this version to react to. I agree with your assessment. Robin's voice is magnificent. No one can sing like him and his voice cannot be imitated. This acoustic version shows off the talent of Robin and his brothers. It's just their bare voices and a couple of guitars and they sound just as fabulous. I just love them. By the way, some of the comments below keep referring to their disco era. They hated to be called disco because they hadn't heard of disco when they wrote the songs for SNF. Their producer, Robert Stigwood, contacted them to write some songs for this "little movie" he was doing. So they gave him the songs that they had just finished writing for a new album they were working on. As they say, the rest is history.

Love the Bee Gees they are so talented, in so my ways. Another great acoustics song they sin is Blue Island I think you will love it. Thanks Harri

I am in awe of this version, sounds so good compared to original. Please react to One, Nights on Broadway (live version). Great reaction!

I love all their early stuff. I think they wrote "Islands in the Stream"done by Dolly Parton & Kenny Rodgers. Do that song sometimes.

Much prefer songs like this and I Started A Joke to the later disco era stuff.

Just like they'd sound at a party in your living living room :)

Check out an evening with Lulu when she had Maurice Gibb sing with her his voice is incredible too

One of my favorite songs from The Bee Gees!!

Thanks! how they are just sittin' in chairs.. and still doing those amazing vocals.. Like, what?? Don't singers usually have to stand and posture?? Robin has always been my guy...but damn - what about Maurice..? He never got enough credit...

Such a beautiful song. Thanks Harri.

Of their early songs, this is one of my two or three favorites.

Still amazes me how they could sing around all those teeth and still do great harmonies.

Finally!! You are the first person I've seen react to the bee gees pre disco. Lots of great great songs.

absolutely amazing

Never heard a bad song from the Brothers Gibb Prolific song writing Hits for themselves and many others Sad how it all panned out Barry, the oldest, is left And he would give up everthing to have his brothers by his side

Such fine voices and melodies. Great song Harri

Beautiful thank you Harry

This one is without the falsetto too so it's just them in their natural state. They could do it all. Loved how back then you couldn't tell the difference between a concert and a record. So talented.

Robin, in my opinion has a emotional side voice when it comes to singing

I always loved this song when I was growing up in the 60s. I’ve lived next to Massachusetts all my life. I take my daughter-in-law to Boston at least once per month to one of the best hospitals in the country. Love your reactions, Harri!❤️

So good.

Beautiful song.

Check out the Seekers cover of this song. The BeeGees had originally written it for the Seekers but for some reason it didn't work out and BeeGees recorded it. The Seekers later recorded in honor of Robin

Love love this song!! Harmony is amazing. One of the BEE GEES best!! The other I love is “One”

This is such a beautiful song in any version. I was always especially fond of it, having grown up in Massachusetts, just outside Boston. Robin’s voice is so lovely on its own and even more beautiful when harmonizing with his brothers. Great choice Craig. Nice review, as always, from Harri 🌺✌️

WOW just sing great

Esse e o cara voz linda maravilhosa

Excuse my french, but, Holy Shit!!

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!!!!!!!!

No one can sing like Robin Gibb

bee gees blue island live from mtv

I just found my favorite reaction channel. Love this guy.

When Robin spoke I thought I was listening to John Lennon !.....almost same voice.

This is my favourite version of Massachussetts. It's gorgeous.

If you plug your nose and sing, it will sound pretty much like Robin! He has such an interesting, distinct voice.

Please react to BEEGEES MEDLEY 1989

Just sitting in a room and singing. How many could do that today?

Amazing

Anytime now ask for that to happen, brothers

Maravilhosa música! 🇧🇷👋👋👋👋Amo demais essa banda!❤❤❤👍
