I couldn't find th= em... For the King Biscuit Flower Hour, type in Bee Gees Live + King Biscuit 194= . That will bring up all those "videos," which is actually only audio, no a= ctual video to speak of.=20 "Wouldn't I Be Someone" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DgEkLJjZ_oLE=20 Interesting that this one has been posted it said for four months but I onl= y found it yesterday. I was looking for the promo for "Don't Wanna Live Ins= ide Myself," which was an alternate take, slightly different to the version= released originally (different piano part), which I didn't find but did fi= nd this one. There's also a promo video for "Mr. Natural," which if you hav= en't seen it, you can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Dmsrs6= ld3oPw&playnext=3D1&list=3DPL8E9E3423923203CA&feature=3Dresults_video "Portrait of Louise" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D0LMAns5V2ao Pretty good version that sounds reasonably close to the released version, e= xcept that it's the Bee Gees live in New York, 1971. I'm still watching for more of the rarities to be posted. I keep wondering = who's posting this stuff and where they are getting it from?=20 Peace, Frank Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2012 21:19:29 -0400 From: Tom <ntsonbdwy@aol.com> Subject: Anne I want to thank Anne Simpson for sharing the photos. Anne is an amazing and= caring human being. We are blessed to have this group of fans. I just cri= ed seeing the photos, but, as Anne and Barry said, that's life. Better to h= ave lived this life and suffer this loss with you fans, than to have been a r= ock and never know Robin's amazing voice, wisdom and love.

I think Barry wants to do this as a=20 tribute to his brothers because he is in total control of the song=20 list, where he is playing and other aspects. Plus he has been saying he=20 wanted to go back to Australia. A major source of contention with Robin=20 was in how to honor Maurice after he died. Unfortunately nothing ended=20 up being done then. This is a chance for the public to remember the Bee=20 Gees on a positive note.

I only let me to have a doubt...: Couldn't be that Barry accept=20 this comitement..in Australia 1 ) Because he must want to recover.. his other sister..Leslie =20 who must be needed very much now. Besides This.. might be a good explanation: 2) Robin himself.. may have=20 ask Barry .. not to let the Beegees fall down.. after his death, in order to keep=20 this "music -knighthood " alive.. just.. "keeping Alive their..BeeGees=20 dreams for a little more.., or , for a worthy farewell. ? Perhaps Barry feel he must do something to honor their Group ,=20 wich farther than any difference, is their all life of Brothers ....doing=20 their best. This is their life!.. Finally .. who may say that Staying Alive, was not done..=20 because.. they unconsciously knew how it will be the future..in this year 2012 by=20 doing ESP ?... :) I wish I could have been at Thame to honour the blue plaque=20 unveiling to Robin. I swear , some day I'll be there. :). Thanks you for having been=20 present. Zule:) Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 11:39:57 -0400 From: Anne Simpson Subject: Re: Barry Gibb all done with the Bee Gees I don't agree for one minute that Barry could have accomplished more as=20 a solo artist. The three of them needed each other, fed off each other's creativity and shared dreams. When Barry got a chance to go solo, he essentially flopped (much to my surprise). It seems that as they matured, and with Mo's death, he and Robin just couldn't agree on a shared creative path. But that still didn't lead=20 to a successful solo career for Barry, did it? He just seemed to retire in=20 that ratty old sweater, while Robin toured his little heart out. At least, that's how I see it. Any problems seem to have arisen from rights to songs - giving credit=20 where credit was due etc. It was sad in the Australian interview Barry just=20 gave that he said all his brothers died at a time when they weren't getting along. I wondered what the problem might have been with Maurice (never having heard of him being in conflict w Barry) and can only think of=20 the business aspects of their career. And Robin - was it upset at Robin=20 wanting to perform with him again, or upset at him not having gotten medical treatment earlier? Maybe only the family and close friends know. I don't know what you mean by, "Barry was not happy with the fact that=20 he could not mention the 'Grammy' he won with Streisand." Couldn't=20 mention it to whom? It's well known! And in any event, that was decades ago. =20 There had to be more going on. If he was done with the Bee Gees, I suspect it was after Mo died and he=20 and Robin dealt with their grief very differently. But Barry has recently=20 shown he still has the hunger, and I suspect THAT is a reaction to Rob's=20 death - as in, get up and DO while you still can!
