Insightful documentary on the long and complicated history of the Bee Gees.
As the documentary opens, we hear the disco-charging "Stayin' Alive" over the opening titles and then go straight into a live concert from in Oakland. We flash forward to "Miami " as Barry Gibb, the only surviving member of the Gibb brothers, rues "My immediate family is gone". From there we go back in time to when the Gibb brothers were just young lads growing up on the Isle of Man before the family relocates to Australia.
It is there that the lads find their first taste of success At this point we are 10 min. Couple of comments: this is the latest project from Frank Marshall, best known for his production work including for Steven Spielberg , but here he directs what is clearly a labor of love about the long and complicated history of the Gibb brothers. If you ask anyone today what the Bee Gees stand for, almost certainly the answer will be "disco" or "Saturday Night Fever".
And of course they were that, very much so. But as this delicious documentary reminds us, they were more than that, in fact so much more than that. It feels like the Bee Gees had, like cats, nine lives, or at least four or five pre-SNF, the disco era, the immediate post-disco era, and the latter days. The song had been written by Barry and Robin Gibb in August , when the Gibb brothers had reconvened following a period of break-up and alienation.
They said that they originally offered it to Andy Williams , but ultimately the Bee Gees recorded it themselves and included it on their album, Trafalgar. The line in the chorus What makes the world go 'round? The instrumental track is: Barry Gibb guitar , Maurice Gibb guitar, piano , bass guitar , possibly Alan Kendall guitar , and Geoff Bridgeford drums , with strings and woodwinds arranged and conducted by Bill Shepherd.
The vocals are by Robin solo in the opening verse , Barry solo in choruses and second verse , and Maurice joins Barry and Robin in harmony on choruses. It was released as a single in May ahead of the album.
It has different vocal, piano, and bass guitar tracks. It is very noticeable that Barry, not Robin, sings the first verse, and that Barry's sigh does not appear before each chorus. This was a tape library mistake, both this and the correct reel being marked as best. The differences illustrate how the Bee Gees built up a recording track by track. These unsatisfactory vocal, piano, and bass tracks would be re-done to make the officially released version. Template:Citation needed.
