To Much Heaven, The Bee Gee's ,Instrumental Cover by David

Too Much Heaven" is a song by the Bee Gees, which was the band's contribution to the "Music for UNICEF" fund. They performed it at the Music for UNICEF Concert on 9 January 1979. The song later found its way to the group's thirteenth original album, Spirits Having Flown. It hit No. 1 in both the United States and Canada. In the United States, the song was the first single out of three from the album to interrupt a song's stay at #1. "Too Much Heaven" knocked "Le Freak" off the top spot for two weeks before returning to #1 again. It also rose to the top three in the United Kingdom. In the US, it would become the fourth of six consecutive No. 1s in a single year, equalling the record set by Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, and the Beatles for the most consecutive No. 1 songs.
Robin Gibb reportedly said on the Bee Gees' interview for Billboard in 2001 that this track was one of his favourite songs of the Bee Gees.
Hope you like my take on it, played on my DM Instruments guitar, fitted with Wilkinson pickups ,on the neck and mid position.
This is a live take, no video editing.
Video Panasonic TM,900 AVCHD Dolby Stereo.
Sony Ext Mic, EMC-MS 970 direct into the TM900.
Through my Zoom G3X , connected by the L/R outputs to two Line 6 Spider Amps 15 watt.
Lexato wireless System WS-50 5ghz.
BT from Karaoke Version , raise the pitch 1 semitone from Db to D before downloading to match Phil McGarricks tabs, thanks Phil.
I loved Phils arrangement of this song ,especially the double stops chorus , nice match for the Bee Gees fantastic harmonies in this beautiful song.
Enjoy To Much Heaven , please like and subscribe ,Cheers David.
Lyrics
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Oh you and me girl
Got a lot of love in store
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
And I love you so much more
Then my life. I can see beyond forever
Everything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
Oh you make my world. a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
You and me girl got a highway to the sky
We can turn away from the night and day
And the tears you had to cry
You're my life.
I can see a new tomorrow
Everything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
When you are to me, the light above
Made for all to see our precious love
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Love is such a beautiful thing
You make my world a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as wide as a river and harder to cross
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb [repeat and fade]

    Good afternoon Phil , thank you so much for your kind words, your arrangement and tabs for this one were spot on , loved learning this one, a big favourite of mine, the double stop chorus ,harmonies were so nice, fitted perfectly .👍 Your right I was chuffed to bits with how it went, only the fourth take I think , its 5 mins long so was glad about that LOL. I used the Wonderful Land patch again , but obviously the Maroon guitar which as a nice mellow tone, plus on the neck/ middle I thought it sounded really nice for this tune. Thanks again Phil ,enjoy your Sunday .All the best Dave.👍🎸🎸🎶🎶😊😊

    Good afternoon Ian, thanks for your nice response, took a while to get right mostly timing really , some very slight pauses in the BT you have to be ready. I sailed through the Double stops , so was chuffed with that ,and with this take, its a really nice one to play, picked this guitar ,because of its really mellow tone, glad you enjoyed it , thank you. All the best Dave. 👍🎸🎸🎶🎶😊

    Hi Steve , many thanks , glad you enjoyed this one, a big favourite of mine, this guitar as a nice mellow tone with the Wilkinson pick ups, so thought it suited this one. As regards to the Lexato wireless system , the late Steve Reynolds used to use them , and he recommended them for the price , over the really expensive ones. In the dining room where my set up is , I've not a lot of room ,and I was fed up of tripping over cables ,if I needed to make adjustments to the video camera LOL , so I decided to try this Wireless system ,I really cant fault it , lasts about 5hrs on a charge, and I cant tell the difference between cable and the wireless. I did notice after a few weeks of using it ,the transmitter ones battery went flat first, my thinking is, its doing most of the work ,than the receiver one ,I don't know ? but its always goes flat first, I have another set called Cuvave WP -5G Japanese import I think ,I got given me , there ok but the sound produced is no where near as good , its more harsh sounding . Hope the information helps , All the best Dave.👍🎸🎸😊
