Nice set of BBC broadcasts from The Brothers Gibb when they were actually a band with a full line up, not the brothers with backing musicians. Colin Petersen and Vince Melouney both left the band before 1970. None of these performances have been released on any of the box sets or remasters so these are a treat to those who loved the original Bee Gees. The Bee Gees were able to sustain a long and successful career. The band has won 9 Grammys, 5 American Music Awards, 109 BMI Awards, A Brit Award for Outstanding Contibution To Music, 19 Platinum Albums, 16 Gold Albums, 12 Gold Singles, and 7 Platinum Singles. We lost Maurice Gibb at the age of 53 to a heart attack, while awaiting emergency surgery to repair a strangulated intestine. We lost his twin Robin Gibb at the age of 62 from liver and kidney failure, complications of colorectal cancer which had metastasized to his liver.
