At least Robin goes ahead with solid projects...., as a fan I am happy to have this oportunity to see, at least one Gibb going on stage...., I've heard Barry has gone into Middle Ear lately but it seems there is not a concrete project for now. I prefer listenig to Rob perform "How Deep...." in a new tour than staying home listening time after time to the same Cd's, after all is a new point of view of the song..., I know it is diferent from what we are used to listen to, but it is a Gibb on the microphone and it will be interesting to see how he plays them. Of course, considering the fact that he is touring with a orchestra, I have some songs in mind that I'd request....., Odessa, The Singer Sang His song, Lamplight, And The Sun Will Shine......., and from the modern ones, Deja Vû, Irresistible force..... Of course I won't be dessapointed if he does not those tracks as it's been 13 years since my last Gibb concert, but i'd die to listen to them. Well see what happens...., it's getting closer.

If you are referring to the Capital Fourth performance, he was asked to do those songs as it was a tribute to the Disco era. I am sure Robin would not have chosen "Jive Talkin'" or "Stayin' Alive" had he not been asked to do them -- who would? As for "How Deep Is Your Love", Robin has been doing that for quite some time now. ......and I do not consider it a Barry lead song. If you go back and listen to the original and watch the original video, you will see that most of the song is sung in unison with Barry and Robin, Barry has little solo work, except for the falsetto "screaming in tune" portions. I prefer the song with the Bee Gees performing it, as I am sure we all do, but Robin performing it does not offend me. > > I do not know what Robin will sing, but whatever he chooses is OK by me and I only wish that I could be there to support and applaud him. > > Nancy > > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!

I think it is very good news to hear Robin doing different arrangements of old songs. He did a couple of them on Magnet, he did a few on German radio during promotion, he did the 'Lover's prayer' single, before this. This is a prime reason to go to a live show after all. We really don't know what he is going to perform and what it will sound like, do we? What was the last time you felt that way for a Bee Gees show? Now... why so many Barry songs? Partly it's that any hit from the late 70s is a Barry lead vocal. I wonder too though whether he's telling us that the record was Barry's interpretation and now we'll hear Robin's. 'Wish you were here' was an interesting alternate version. If you believe in Robin being co-writer on these songs, he's got as much right as Barry to decide how to perform them. Robin sounds great doing part of 'Lover's prayer'. I guess I'm saying that if Robin decided to do an album-length CD of alternate versions of old songs, I'd be eager to hear it. Since Magnet was recorded while Maurice was alive and well, this is not a concept forced on Robin by Maurice's death. It looks as if he wanted to do something like this anyway.

I'd love to hear the songs they way Robin wanted them done! Or even just different than they were. Eric Clapton had great success when he re-recorded "Layla" so why not Gibb re-do's? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2004 11:06:13 -0500 From: "Genny" Subject: Re: Robin Tour I'm glad too to see a Gibb still choosing to perform. Though the entire song list for the concert hasn't been released, I'm hoping they'll be some of those old songs you never hear anymore from Robin's previous solo albums in addition to Embrace and Deja Vû. Or even play a different selection of songs at each concert....mix it up a bit. But either way....I'm just glad he's out there performing.....so we get to hear the voice again and wish I could be there to hear it.

Basically because Robin is a creative artist so it may seem he is wastin= g his time re-doing old songs instead of creating new ones. The passing of Mo gave me a sense of frustration.... it was over and the= y had waisted a lot of time, for all the years they lost in fights inste= ad of writing and releasing new material...., how many great songs we lo= st?. If Robin does an album of versions he will not give us more of those son= gs he does so well...., and an album is one year..., well in terms of G= ibb standards may be four years and that's a long wait, more considering= their age (and mine)...., to me Magnet was a curiosity, I saw it as an experiment for Rob who, I thought, ha= d to wait 'till the reunification of the band to let his songs out. I'm happy about the german tour but I still have my doubts about the nex= t move..., and Barry's....., anyway I hope for an album with new songs, = alone or with Barry, but new material after all..... TIWICI is far away = in time and I think it's time for a new dose....., if then, as a bonus to the recording sessions, he wants to = do new versions that'll be OK, but give me new songs too please.

Yes in a sense...., but being a great composer is a gift...., re-working a song is more a performing job, singing in a diferent style, something like that..., it is also a musician's job as the arrangements are usually diferent...., creativity?, I'd say versatility. What I mean is that the brothers always define themselves as a songwriters first, then performers, and doing covers from your own songs is mainly a performer's job, as the song was already written time ago and probably you have new material in the shelves. Sometimes is difficult to explain oneself in a foreign language..., I don't know if I've been able to do it now but I tried.
