I have been a big fan of the Bee Gees since I was a teenager. I have most of their catalogue on LP except for the 3 hard to find albums... "The Bee Gees sing and play 14 Barry Gibb Songs", "A Kick in the Head is worth eight in the (gasp for air) pants", and "Living Eyes".

I could never find any type of biography on them until now. One of the things I liked most about the bee gees music is that its very spiritual and soulful. Some of their most sincere music would make you think these guys are really serious... the introverted deep thinker type. But after watching this DVD I seen that they have a great sense of humor. Lots of the old home video's shown throughout the DVD actually had me laughing. I couldn't believe that 3 brothers who wrote songs like "I started a joke" and "How can you mend a broken heart" were such clowns in real life.

Other than all that, this DVD pretty much takes you through the whole evolution of the Bee Gees, explains the when's where's and why's of each period, along with excellent footage from each and every period in thier career.

Its a very great thing to have for any Bee Gees fan.

ITS A WONDERFUL BIOGRAPHY OF THE BEE GEES I LOVE THE EXTRA BONUS INTERVIEW WITH THEM ITS GREAT!

BARRY ROBIN MAURICE ARE SOOOOO CUTE & FUNNY ON IT!

THEIR WIVES ARE GREAT ON IT THEY ARE SO NICE AND VERY KIND!

FROM A BIG BEE GEES & ROBIN GIBB FAN FOR 14 YEARS NOW KIRSTEN

When I first got This Is Where I Came In, my favorite album was Still Waters. I didn't think anything could be superior. I was wrong. This Is Where I Came In is, in my opinion, the best Bee Gees album. There is a little bit of everything old, plus a touch of new. It is retrospective, yet has the most up to date and even progressive styles. Unfortunately this is the last Bee Gees album as we know it! Let me tell you, The Bee Gees go out with a bang.

Sacred Trust is the definitive breathy Barry song. One True Voice's version is still on the charts, and I think the Backstreet Boys were stupid enough to turn it down! This might be the one typical Bee Gee song on the album, but it even tops in that department. While Barry sings breathy, Robin begins a sort of echoing chant in the background, similiar to With My Eyes Closed on Still Waters. The result is a great song, and one that will get stuck in your head.
Wedding Day is a lovely song. Barry sings the verses and then Robin brings the house down with the chorus. Songs like this truely amaze me. The boys have all been married for years, how do they know what someone's wedding day is like? Not only are the music and voices superb on TIWICI, but the lyrics are top notch.

Man In The Middle is the first of two Maurice led songs. I would say this is the best Maurice song ever, but then there is Walking on Air three songs later! You can tell this is a very personal song, and many know Maurice was often caught in the middle between the lead personalities of Barry and Robin. It feels very blues driven and songs like this make you wonder why Maurice never went solo.

If Technicolor Dreams doesn't have you dancing, Walking On Air certainly will. Maurice second track for the album is composed entirely by him. The vocal, backing vocal, in both low and high parts, the guitar, keyboard, and drum programming. It isn't as, let us say, dark as Man In The Middle, but it reflects the fun jubilant water loving side of Maurice. It is so catchy and rocking, and as usually with the Bee Gees, each verse and chorus are slightly different. Walking on Air keeps you on your toes and won't leave your head. It's my favorite on the album, and anyone who thinks Maurice is a nobody, hear this!

Loose Talk Costs Lives is very much in the Barry `Guilty' sound style. The lyrics are very mature, and the arrangement is shaped perfectly around Barry's breathy sound. That being said. It's a very modern sounding sound with a lovely echo in the chorus, and proves that with the right arrangement and care, Barry can still keep you debating about whose voice is tops.

3 more tracks released overseas or on the singles. And after hearing them, one wonders why they were ever left off the main album. Just in Case was shown on the Keppel Road biography way back in 1997. Here it is in its completed version, a sweet soft Bee Gees standard, but again one that one of today's silly boy bands could easily attempt to do, and fail. Promise The Earth is another Robin outing. Again once you overcome the surprise, you'll be humming it all day. And ironically, not humming words, but the beat and sound. Very progressive for Robin.

I Will Be There ends the extended album. It has a full circle feel to it. It sounds like a Bee Gees song, yet takes a step forward, combining the smooth sound of Sacred Trust with the upbeat style of Deja Vu. It's lyrics are also quite a statement, and now looking back somewhat ironic. Or not. Indeed Barry, Robin, and Maurice's time on earth will all eventually end, but through their music they will always be there to get you through

The Bee Gees were one of the most significant bands of the 20th century, and this 2001 biography is an absolute gem. It was the first DVD I bought, and it's the only programme for which I have both the DVD and the video. The video (which is 100 minutes) was originally broadcast on A&E and is fantastic and certainly worth getting if you don't have a DVD player. But the DVD, which is a slightly different mix, is a full 2 hours, with the additional footage (which was cut from the video and television broadcast) sprinkled throughout. Included primarily are additional minutes of archival video footage, but additional bits from interviews and bits of background information have also been tucked in here and there.

The DVD also offers a couple of worthwhile special features. Firstly, there's the video for the single "This Is Where I Came In"; and secondly, there is an additional 30 minutes or so of interviews with Barry, Robin and Maurice that did not make it into the presentation. These are just snippets (a minute or two on a mishmash of topics), but they are certainly worth checking out.

As for the presentation itself, a full one-half of the video/DVD is dedicated to chronicling the Gibbs' early years, and there is plenty of archival footage from home videos and early television performances. In addition to chronicling the rollercoaster path their career has taken, the presentation includes loads about their personal lives--from their marriages, divorces, and children's births to the tragic deaths of their brother Andy and of their dad. The video/DVD features interviews with each of the three brothers, with their mum Barbara, with Robin's wife Dweena, with Maurice's wife Yvonne, with Robert Stigwood and various other individuals in the music industry. What really makes this presentation sparkle are the many, many excerpts from their enormous body of music that play in the background.

In conclusion, this is an outstanding visual biography of an extraordinarily talented trio of brothers--one that is both rich in content and beautifully presented. The poignancy one feels near the end of the video/DVD is only heightened by our knowledge of the tragic death of Maurice Gibb less than two years after it was made, and it is sadly ironic that this biography has served to mark the end of an era. With it we have been given a rare and special look into the lives of three brothers with a rare and special talent who wrote, recorded and performed some of the most beautiful music the world has ever heard. This is the definitive biography of the Bee Gees--a keepsake that will be cherished and enjoyed by both serious and casual fans alike, or indeed by anyone whose lives have been made just a little richer by the music of the Brothers Gibb.

Extremely highly recommended.
