GENINE Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2003 13:36:36 +0100 From: "Lee Meadows" Subject: Bee gees 70's promotion I have always been interested to know how the bee gees were such a huge act in the late 70s worldwide seemingly with little, and often , NO promotional activity at all!!! For example I never saw a single bit of promotion on UK TV for anything from Main course through to Spirits, There were no TV appearances....No videos for the songs (appart from Jive talking, Stayin alive and How deep.) It has always amazed me that there were no promo videos made for Tragedy and Love you inside out at a time when promo videos were common. No appearances on Top of the pops.....nothing to show promo wise for "nights on broadway" Night fever "You should be dancing" Tragedy"Spirits having flown" From what I have seen there were also very few USA appearances in this period too...... even though they were practically gods at the time! So ...my question is...what was the secret behind the sales??? Anyone else ever notice this?? lee _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

The Gods were smiling on you that day!

I met Robin on June the 18th . He came to Barcelona to promote Please . He permormed live on a program in the television of Catalonia (TV3). He had been in Madrid previously doing more television performances. My friend Cristina and I were very lucky to find out the hotel he was at and we went there... At first we had a lot of problems as the hotel security wouldn't allow us to be there... but me were lucky to meet Erroll (Reid), Robin's chorus man... and he made it possible for us... He's a sweetie !! He took Robin's manager to talk to the security for us to be there!! Thanks to both of them!!! We finally came to meet Robin as he was leaving to the program... He was absolutely wonderful... He was very shy and just was smiling and saying "than you" all the time... so very sweet and gentle... he signed some photos and records for us... we took a photo and had it all filmed on video!! Ater that, we went to the program and we had no tickets.. but 4 persons didn't come and we and other friends were able to get in... They even interview us !! it was a lot of fun!! a great day!! Also the performance in the Catalan TV, unlike those of Madrid, was absolutely live.. which made it even more special! We will never forget, Montse. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mary Pridham To: words List Member Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2003 12:15 AM Subject: Re: Catalan > Montse, can you please share with us how you met Robin? > > > Mary Pridham, Adelaide, South Oz > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Montse Q" > To: "words List Member" > Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2003 4:48 AM > Subject: RE: Catalan > > > > WOW !! > > Very well said !! > > > > Being Catalan myself, I must admit that I 've had a lot of fun with > > this topic!! > > > > Just to situate everybody...
