Remember watching this episode with my sister. I was in 8th grade she a few years older. We disagreed on which was the best BeeGees song in the medley - i said Massachusetts, she said Lonely Days. Mom settled it with How Can You Mend a Broken Heart. Mom's gone now, and sister and I both old as dirt, but still love this music. I think Mom probably was right, as usual...

You sat on the floor and there were a couple of stages and you just shifted your butt to see each stage. One time you would be up front, next time at the back but it wasn't a huge studio.

The Bee Gees could definitely harmonize. Robin’s falsetto is incredible! It’s too bad they don’t make LIVE shows like this anymore. The Midnight Special was awesome and will never be duplicated. Today’s generation and performers could learn so much by watching these shows!

Stop it! I am running out of adjectives to express myself about how great these shows are! The voices of the Gibbs are magical; they make it seem effortless, but how many hours these brothers must have spent on their craft! Gladys gives me chills singing ‘Neither One of Us’; Jerry Lee still having a chip on his shoulder and Fire in his fingers. Wayne Cochran’s hair was a National monument. I forget how many times I played ‘Stir It Up’ 45 on my portable record player, or how many time I find myself singing ‘End of the World’ while alone in my car, when I think of younger days when living for my life…Wow it all ties together. And Fred from Scooby-Doo too! Bless you all!
