Stuart and Cristiano return for the fourth season with 1981's 'Living Eyes'. In the midst of legal affairs with RSO, a disco backlash, and a shake-up to the recording style and personnel which had accompanied the Gibbs over the previous five years, the resulting album, which also had a smash-hit predecessor in 'Spirits Having Flown' to live up to, was always going to suffer. And although the album struggled commercially and critically, and subsequently dismissed by the Brothers Gibb, it has gone on to become a fan favourite. A return to natural voices, orchestral bombast and the triumphant return of Robin and Maurice on lead vocals make this album a special one. In this first part, Stuart and Cristiano discuss the context of the album's recording, and the five songs that comprise side one.Tim Roxborogh - 'Living Eyes at 40' - Barry Gibb With Tim Roxborogh On The 40th Anniversary Of Living Eyes - 2021 - YouTubeVocal split extracts created through LALAL.AI: Vocal Remover & Instrumental AI Splitter | LALAL.AIFollow the podcast on Instagram and Facebook @wordsbeegeespodcast, and on Twitter / X @wordsbeegeespod.

Spirits are flying high with this seminal 1979 release from the Bee Gees. Rounding off half a decade of chart topping singles and albums, 'Spirits Having Flown' epitomised the Brothers Gibb at the height of their game. Spotless production and arrangements, pitch-perfect falsettos and a refinement of the disco and ballads styles which had defined their recent material, all culminating in one of the group's best regarded, and best selling, albums. In Part One, Stuart and Cristiano discuss side one of the album, and the context of its recording.A capella Too Much Heaven: Bee Gees - Too Much Heaven - Acapella (Only Vocals) - (Vocal Track) - YouTubeFollow the podcast on Instagram and Facebook @wordsbeegeespodcast, and on Twitter @wordsbeegeespod.

Seth and Marc get funky with the Bee Gee's stalker anthem Nights On Broadway. Not their biggest hit, but definitely up there with the creepiest. One part waiting in the dark and one part voices-in-his-head, the Brothers Gibb go in deep with the first single to highlight their famous falsetto.

Preceded by the radio and dancefloor chart-topper 'You Should Be Dancing', and succeeded by further top ten album singles, 'Children Of The World' is as commercial as they come, whilst the double live LP 'Here At Last...' encapsulates the Bee Gees on stage and riding high on their newfound success. Stuart and Cristiano delve into these two albums, and are honoured to have Vince Melouney answer their questions on 'Let It Ride', a song which he co-wrote with Barry Gibb in 1976. "What you doin' on your bed on your back?" the Bee Gees ask, and quite right too, as 1976 is as productive a year as ever for the Brothers Gibb. We should all be dancing!

Stuart and Cristiano discuss the Bee Gees' breakout release from 1975. The realisation of Barry's falsetto, the developing R&B and disco influences, and the input from new surroundings in America and collaborators Blue Weaver and Albhy Galuten result in a commercial, critical and chart success of an album for the Brothers Gibb.

Episode 156: In Conversation with Grant Walters, co-author of “Decades: The Bee Gees in the 1970s” If you follow the podcast on any of the below social media accounts, then you probably know that Brian got heavily into the Bee Gees over the past couple of years, after watching the excellent HBO documentary How Can You Mend a Broken Heart. He has now amassed quite a collection of vinyl records and CDs by the Brothers Gibb, and he's also been eager to read any books about them he can get his hands on.  Until recently, such books were hard to find. However, Grant Walters, Andrew Môn Hughes and Mark Crohan have combined their writing talents and their encyclopedic knowledge of the Bee Gees to develop a book series covering the career of the Bee Gees, a decade at a time. The second book in the series, Decades: The Bee Gees in the 1970s, has just recently been released in the UK, and is soon to be released in the US. Brian and Sarah had the great pleasure of talking with Grant Walters about the new book, and they also learned more about Grant and his many talents, how he came to know Andrew and Mark, and how the book series came about.   The 1970s was quite a roller coaster of a decade for Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, and the discussion addresses such topics as the breakup and re-formation of the Bee Gees; their challenges with songwriting and chart success in the early 1970s; their work with Arif Mardin, and of course, Saturday Night Fever. There's also talk about youngest brother Andy and his career progression during this time, as well as the disco movement in general.   It's a fun and informative conversation with a friendly and extremely knowledgeable fellow, on one of the biggest pop acts of all time, so you won't want to miss it!

Journey back to 1971… or 1805… as Stuart and Cristiano peel back Pocock's ‘The Battle of Trafalgar' painting to examine the Bee Gees album beneath. 'Trafalgar' sees the Brothers Gibb return to the majestic, almost-concept album territory of ‘Odessa', with an abundance of beautiful ballads, soaring vocals and heartfelt lyrics. With various leftover tracks, including commercial jingles and a nineteenth century anthem, as well as an accompanying tour and extra recording activity to discuss, this is another jam-packed episode, but that's just the way it is.

"Decades: The Bee Gees in the 1960s" is the first volume in a series of books covering the entire career of the Brothers Gibb and documenting every album and song. In this episode, I'm joined by authors Andrew Môn Hughes, Grant Walters and Mark Crohan (from the UK, United States and Australia respectively) for a chat about the book. We discuss the Australian years, the evolution of their sound and songwriting in the 1960s and some of the influential figures in their lives along the way.

I'm beyond excited to be talking today with the three authors of Bee Gees Decades, a new book series about our favorite Brothers Gibb. This first book, focusing on their lives and work in 1960s, will be available on November 12th across the world, December 17th here in the States, right in time for Christmas! The book “The Bee Gees In the 1960s” has left no stone unturned. In addition to getting to the bottom of all of the information they could about these tracks, sessions and albums, spanning multiple decades, the three authors have also created a narrative that will make you feel closer to The Bee Gees, and undoubtedly have a new perspective on the music, the story, and the legacy. Based in Wales, the United States, and Australia, respectively, Andrew Môn Hughes, Grant Walters & Mark Crohan have over fourteen decades of combined expertise and history tied to the Bee Gees' legacy between them, amassing a lengthy list of credits for their contributions to CDs, DVDs, books, tour programmes, articles, television documentaries, and official websites. In 2000, Andrew and Mark co-authored the expansive biography, Tales of the Brothers Gibb. Andrew's expert contributions can be seen and heard in a myriad of Bee Gees-related productions for the BBC, ITV, A&E, and VH1 networks. Mark, the foremost expert on the Bee Gees' Australian era gifted his collection to the Queensland Library in 2016. He contributed liner notes to the 1998 compilation Assault the Vaults. Grant is an award-winning freelance arts writer for Columbus Underground and Albumism, for which he has penned nearly 300 features since 2015. He is a prolific music interviewer, conversing with a diverse roster of artists including Dionne Warwick, Midge Ure, Melissa Etheridge, Edie Brickell and Bryan Adams.

Playlist Chamberlin Rhythmate Two Times The Trauma, “Freak Show” from I Fell In Love With An Ocean (2006 Starfly). There is an original Chamberlin Rhythmate at Roth Händle Studios in Stockholm, plus some other precious vintage equipment used in the making of the first album by Two Times The Trauma. Double Bass, Vocals, Magnus Eugensson; Drums, Percussion, Optigan, Mellotron, Tin Whistle, Turntables, Chamberlin Rhythmate, Mattias Olsson; Electric Guitar, Eric Fallope; Mellotron, Orchestron, Tobias Ljungkvist; Tuba, Fredrik Wennström; Vocals, Cecilia Åhlfeldt; Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Mattias Eriksson; Xylophone, Daniel Kåse. Recorded at Roth Händle Studios 3 & 4, Stockholm. Mellotron bee tape set used with kind permission from Gaby Stenberg. Yamaha GX-1 used with kind permission from Benny Andersson. Orchestron French Horn disc on 'In Your Eyes' used thanks to Zac Rae. All Optigan, Mellotron and Chamberlin Rhythmate service and maintenance was performed way beyond the call of duty by Markus Resch. Wurlitizer Side Man and Swingin' Rhythm LCD Sound System, “Somebody's Calling Me” from This Is Happening (2010 Parlophone). Somebody's Calling Me; Finger Snaps Snaps, Matt Thornley; Finger Snaps Snaps, Synthesizer Casio MT-68, Wurlitzer Sideman, EMS VCS3 Putney, Korg Poly Ensemble, Bass, Piano Acoustic, Keyboards Roland System 100, Vocals, James Murphy; Mixed By, DS; Trombone, Jason Disu; Written-By, J. Murphy. Glenn Derringer, “The Girl From Ipanema” from Wurlitzer Swingin' Rhythm (1968 Wurlitzer). Glenn Derringer at the Wurlitzer electronic organ, demonstrating the Wurlitzer Electronic Swingin' Rhythm attachment with an unspecified Wurlitzer electronic organ. Each track on this demonstration disc explains the Swingin' Rhythm settings that were used. For “The Girl From Ipanema,” the settings were: “Moderate Bossa Nova. The Swingin' Rhythm was set at Latin, tempo control set to 1 o'clock.” What more can I say? Dick Hyman, “Strobo” from the single Strobo/Lay, Lady, Lay (1969 Command). Dick told me about this track, which was one of his Moog experiments that didn't make it onto his two albums around this time. Normally, he produced his Moog tracks with the help of synthesizer programmer Walter Sear. But in the case of this single, he did all the programming. For “Strobo,” he used a drum machine. It sounds like a Swingin' Rhythm. Jean-Pierre Sabar, “Fool on the Hill” from Super-Danse/Les Orgues Électroniques De Jean Pierre Sabar (1969 Sava). French LP of instrumental cover versions of popular music, all played on the Wurlitzer 4300 electronic organ with integrated Multi-Matic Percussion unit and Swingin' Rhythm, which was also sold as a standalone drum machine. In this case, I'm having a little trouble telling the difference between the drum machine and what sometimes sounds like a drum set with bass and toms. The settings on the organ indicate that the pedals can be used to play “drum” and “cymbal” sounds, and the Swingin' Rhythm unit had buttons for drum, brush, snare, block, and cymbal. Still, I can't account for the tambourine sound but so much of this rhythm section sounds like a drum machine repeating sounds robotically that I must assume that this is a combination of live drummer and drum machine. Jerry Styner And Larry Brown, “Dock of the Bay” from Orbit III (1971 Beverly Hills). Album produced to showcase the sounds of the Wurlitzer Orbit III organ, the “orbit” portion being a a third, two-octave keyboard that was a monophonic synthesizer. The instrument was equipped with the latest Wurlitzer rhythm machine built in. On this track, you not only hear sounds of a drum machine that sounds similar to the Wurlitzer Swingin' Rhythm machine introduced in 1969. Although the liner notes suggest that all of the sounds were created using the organ, there appears to be a regular human drummer playing along (probably percussionist and co-producer Larry Brown). I say this because there is a hit hat heard throughout and although Swingin' Rhythm had setting for a Snare, Brush and Cymbal sounds, as fills for the rhythm settings, they really did not reproduce the hit hat sound that is heard here. That and the miscellaneous drum fills added throughout sound more “played” than mechanized. Anyway, that's my take after examining this recording as compared to the actual sounds of the Swingin' Rhythm unit. Thomas Organ Byron Melcher, “Spanish Flea” from The Entertainers (1966 Thomas Organ Co.). Thomas Organ was one of the leading makers of electronic organs for the home. On this track, you can hear the Playmate rhythm component, a drum machine with 15 preset rhythms. The Thomas organ drum machine, circa mid-1960s. Thomas Organ was another maker of electronic organs for the home market. By 1966 they had created the Playmate rhythm component, a drum machine with 15 preset rhythms and a standalone device called the Band Box that had 10 preset rhythms. These were often sold as part of their Color-Glo line of transistorized organs. Color-Glo helped amateur musicians by lighting up the keys for preprogrammed melodies and chords to guide them along. Lowrey Organ Johnny Kemm “Taboo” from Latin Days (1970 Concert Recording). This album was created using the Lowrey Theater Console Deluxe organ model H25R-2 equipped with the built-in Automatic Rhythm drum machine feature. Not Sure Which Drum Machine Robin Gibb, “Mother and Jack” from the single Saved by the Bell/Mother and Jack (1969 Polydor). There was brief period in 1969 when the Brothers Gibb, otherwise known as the Bee Gees, had a sibling riff and Robin went off on his own to record some solo projects while Barry and Maurice completed a two-man Bee Gee album called Cucumber Castle. Perhaps because he was working along, Robin used a drum machine to mark time while recording various tracks and in the case of a few songs, he kept the mechanical rhythm as part of the finished recording. This might be the earliest purposeful use of a drum machine on a pop hit. I include it hear because it is probably a Swingin' Rhythm, although it might also be a Seeburg Select-A-Rhythm, also available at the time. Bruce Haack “Saint Basil” from The Electronic Record For Children (1969 Dimension 5). Tape composition, drum machine, and synthesis by Bruce Haack; Directed by P. Pandel; Performer, The Children Of Holy Trinity Cathedral School. Bruce used an unidentified drum machine on this album of children's music. Roland (Various) Michael Iceberg, “Mexican Hat Dance” from Does It Live: 100th Week At Walt Disney World (1977 Hihomusic). This album was only sold to tourists as a souvenir at Walt Disney World during the Michael Iceberg residency as a performer at Tomorrowland Terrace during the late 70's through the late 80's. Unknown drum machine, but likely a Roland Rhythm TR-55. Miha Kralj, “Apokalipsa” from Andromeda (1980 PGP). Yugoslavian record from synthesist Miha Kralj features a Roland CompuRhythm CR-78. Composer, producer, Synthesizer, Vocoder, Sequencer, Drum Machine, Effects, Miha Kralj. Gary Numan, “Slowcar To China” from Dance (1981 Atco). Bass , Mick Karn; Percussion, Gary Numan, Tim Steggles; Polymoog, Prophet 5, Roland JP 4, CP30, Claptrap, Electronic Drums Roland CR78, Gary Numan; Viola, Chris Payne. The Noyes Brothers, “Byte to Beat” from Sheep From Goats (1980 Object Music). Synthesizer and electronic drums, Solamar. The Noyes Brothers had two members, Steve Miro and Steve Solamar. They were from the UK and Solamar seems to be the only artist on this track and uses an non-specific Roland drum machine. This track is taken from a double LP, the only record I know of for the Noyes Brothers. Comateens, “Ghosts” from Comateens (1981 Cachalot Records). Here is a group who's unofficial fourth member was a Roland Compu-Rhythm CR-78. The inner notes for the album featured profiles of all of the artists, including Lyn Byrd on synthesizers and vocals, Oliver North on guitar and vocals, Nic North on bass, and vocals and the Roland machine, which was described as having a square black head, no body, with red, blue, and yellow buttons. In addition, the notes state that the Roland drum machine was born in Japan and existed as 3,468 separate pieces before assembled and called upon to serve with the Comateens. Joël Fajerman, “Espace – Oiseaux” from Azimuts (1981 PSA). French record by Fajerman featuring a Roland TR 808 Rhythm composer, and instruments such as the Multimoog, Prophet 5, Korg polyphonic 3100, Clavinet D6, ARP sequencer, Oberheim module. SPK (System Planning Korporation), “Emanation Machine R. Gie 1916” from Information Overload Unit (1981 Side Effects). Australian industrial sounds released in the UK. Guitar, Bass, Tape, Vocals, Mike Wilkins; Synthesizer, Roland Drum Programming, Effects, Vocals, Graeme Revell; Synthesizer, Effects, Dominic Guerin. Rüdiger Lorenz, “Out of the Past” from Invisible Voices (1983 Syncord). This late pharmacist/synthesist from Germany played all the instruments on this album, including Korg Polysix, Formant Synthesizer, Roland Vocoder VC 10, Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer, Moog Sample & Hold, MXR Stereo Chorus, Electro-Harmonix Flanger, PPG Sequencer, Elektor Ringmodulator, and Pearl Vorg Echo-Orbit. Other analog drum machines Bob Hacker, “Careless Hands” from One Man Opry: Bob Hacker Plays The Yamaha Electone D (1980 Yamaha). This album, produced by Yamaha, features some of the wacky analog synth effects it could produce as well as its built-in drum machine. This was a spinet style organ, a small upright keyboard with pedals for the home market. Arthur Brown and Kingdom Come, “Time Captives” from Journey (1973 Polydor). Brown used Bentley drum machine to provide drums on this track. The Bentley was actually a UK version of the Roland TR-77 which was the very first product Roland released under they own name. In the US this same unit was sold by Hammond as the Auto-Vari 64. The unit has 5 faders for Volume, Tempo, Cymbal/HH/Maracas, Guiro, Snare, Bass Drum. The TR-77 has 6 faders for Tempo, Fade Time, Volume, Bass D, Snare D, Guiro & Hi-Hat/Cymbal/Maracas. Bass, Percussion, Vocals, Phil Shutt; Bentley Rhythm Ace, Vocals, Arthur Brown; Electric Guitar, Vocals – Andy Dalby; Mellotron, Synthesizer [Arp 2600, Vcs3], Piano, Theremin, Percussion, Vocals, Victor Peraino. Kraftwerk, “Radioactivity” from Kraftwerk – Radio-Activity (1975 Capitol).Electronics, Florian Schneider, Ralf Hütter; Lyrics by Emil Schult, Florian Schneider, Ralf Hütter; music by Florian Schneider, Ralf Hütter; Electronic Percussion Karl Bartos, Wolfgang Flür; Vocals, Florian Schneider, Ralf Hütter. Schoolly D, “P.S.K.-What Does It Mean? (instrumental version)” from‎ P.S.K.-What Does It Mean? / Gucci Time (1986 Schooly D Records). A remix of this track that features only the drum sounds of the The Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer. This drum machine was one of the first Roland instruments to be equipped with MIDI, and was the first analog/digital hybrid machine, combining analog circuits for its drums with digital samples for its cymbal and hi-hat sounds. You can hear how Schooly D isolated the cymbals and drums on this track. Pixie Ninja, “Leng Plateau” from Colours Out Of Space (2020 Apollon Records). Another recording using the Chamberlin Rhythmate in the Roth Händle Studio in Stockholm. Roth Händle studios is run by producer and musician Mattias Olsson who collects, restores, and offers vintage musical gear for use by visiting bands.

This is a “Superfan Sessions” episode where I have a conversation with a fan about their love of the Bee Gees. It was my pleasure to speak with Daniel Vega, a Bee Gees fan in Honduras. Daniel has been a Bee Gees fan for as long as he can remember, first hearing the Bee Gees as a child because his Dad is a fan. His stories are great, especially his adventure of travelling to the Hollywood Bowl show of Barry's Mythology Tour.

In this week's edition of Musical Chairs, Patrick & Dave are again at opposite ends of the musical spectrum, so to speak, as they take a look at The Bee Gees and Metallica. Patrick highlights the early years of the Brothers Gibb, a time frame when they did not sound anything like the Kings of Disco they would be best known as in the late 1970's. Then Dave steals what was going to be Patrick's choice for next week as the guys share their thoughts, opinions, and memories of the Godfathers of Thrash Metal.

It's Wrestlemania season, baby! For those of you who don't know, Wrestlemania is the biggest weekend of the year for professional wrestling. The WWE holds a huge shows all week long, culminating in Wrestlemania, which is like the Super Bowl or World Cup of wrestling. It's the biggest show, on the grandest stage of them all. So since it's Wrestlemania, I wanted to do a wrestling themed episode of Bee Gees And Me podcast, because there's some fun references and influences that the Brothers Gibb had on wrestling over the years. I asked my good friend “Trapper Tom” to be my guest this week, because not only does he work for an independent wrestling promotion based out of Pittsburgh, PA, called the Keystone State Wrestling Alliance, not only is he a wrestling historian, having taught a college course on professional wrestling, he is also a Bee Gees fan. Of course, I am a huge fan of wrestling too. I've actually been a wrestling fan for longer than I've been a Bee Gees fan. I started watching as a kid in the 80s, during the Rock & Wrestling era of colorful over the top characters like Andre The Giant and The Macho Man Randy Savage. Much like any long running form of entertainment, it's evolved over the years. So stars like Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels replaced them, then along came Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. Now, a whole new generation of wrestlers like Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley entertain the millions of fans of this billion dollar industry. But, despite all the success and popularity of professional wrestling, there are still people who sneer or judge the performance. People throw around the “F word,” that in the wrestling industry is the most offensive thing that could be said. “Fake.” For some reason, because this athletic performance is scripted, it carries this stigma of being a joke. People look down on it as a lesser form of entertainment. Television shows are scripted, movies are scripted. But nobody is leaving a movie theater complaining about The Avengers because none of it was real. Yet, wrestling doesn't use CGI or stunt doubles for their action. It's men and women not only acting as characters, but also doing all the physically demanding and extremely athletic moves to tell a story. When done right, it's some of the best live theater you can experience. So over my years as both a wrestling fan and a Bee Gees fan, I've been reminded time and time again that something I love is either fake, or dumb, or phony. There's a chip on my shoulder for being shamed as a wrestling fan in the same way as there's a chip on my shoulder for being a Bee Gees fan. When in reality, wrestling is awesome. And the Bee Gees are awesome. And I unapologetically love each of them. And sometimes, those two worlds intersect, and it's exciting for me to see two of my passions share a moment like a shooting star across the night sky. And my friend Trapper Tom and I will talk about some of those times on this episode of Bee Gees And Me, continuing just after this.

Judi Lesta is a photographer who spent a whole year with the Brothers Gibb, documenting their work and lives in photographs. Her work has been featured in numerous Bee Gees books, and most recently, also in the HBO documentary “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.” She was with them at the height of their success, in our conversation you'll hear about Saturday Night Fever, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and which of her famous photos you'll surely know. Also, after my conversation with Judi, I will be introducing a new segment to the show. The Extra Mile. Today I will be talking with my wife about my Bee Gees obsession and how it impacts our lives and our relationship. I hope this doesn't backfire on me.

In this episode of Bee Gees And Me, I talk with Todd Bisson, one of the executive producers of “To Love the Bee Gees: A Tribute to the Brothers Gibb.” Some of the musical acts on this album include Isobel Campbell, The Silver Seas, Emitt Rhodes, and Martin Carr. It's really a fantastic album that includes so many different performers from different backgrounds performing in different genres. Worth checking out.
