Has anyone seen or heard of the new Barry Gibb concerts--my friends, Maria & Sue went just a couple of nights ago at the MENA in Manchester--they are lucky, and have their own box there. Apparently, there was a huge screen on stage with his 2 brothers, and he sang all their old hits---Maria said it was just wonderful--one of the best concerts ever---and she has been to many, many concerts !

I have also been to many concerts but The Bee Gees was one of the best and I always wanted to see them again.

I'm glad Barry has got it together again.

I remember I flew to L.A. to see their concert during their heyday in 1979 and they were joined by brother Andy for a few numbers. That was awesome and I'm glad I got to see the show even though they were already getting the "disco backlash". It must be surreal for Barry to be singing up their by himself with just a video of his brothers.

Apparently he was also joined by his son and daughter of Maurice.

I was really glad to know that Barry was still continuing to perform, even without his brothers-I did see a couple of clips on Youtube.
