Subject: Barry concert
It seems to me this Barry concert or tour of Oz ill-conceived in principle driven by Barry's need probably subconsciously to come to terms with his grief. That he has Gibb children on stage too he feels may he also aid their grieving too.=20
Now this is all fair enough in the confines of a private gathering but surely dubious in a public performance. I have no more a wish to hear Sam song ISAJ than I had in wanting to hear Robin sing Words.=20
The closest connection the children are to Bee Gees music is that they may have inspired some lyrics. Just not enough for me to justify a concert performance
If I'm sounding harsh imagine a concert reviewer=20

I agree, I couldn't care less who his backing band comprises of, we will only be there to see and hear Barry, but as usual there seems to be something strange here, perhaps another internal Gibb dispute.=20
And they always seem to involve Barry, with Andy / Maurice / Robin / Spencer / possibly Dwina and who knows who else.
He may be an awesome musician but it seems personal relationships are definitely not his strong point unless you agree with his opinion on everything.
But at the end of the day all that matters is the music, and its about to happen at last.
Paul - Oz.
