Barry sounds much more strained here than in Las Vegas... which makes me wonder how much "sweetening" that version received, being done for CD and DVD release. ("Closer Than Close" seems to be dubbed directly from Still Waters on there, I noticed!)
Closer Than Close was backing tracked during the actual performance, Tradegy in that set was not and that is actually what it sounded like, all backing tracking you hear was all on there live.
You'll know this by listening to the bootlegs of other ONO concerts that have the same tracks.
This performance here is simply different to the Vegas one. :D
Oh and Robin and Maurice just sat back and did nothing? Agreed Andy was a fantastic performer, but the BeeGees,Barry, Robin and Maurice,gave him ideas and influenced his fantastic gift of singing...... Andy just didn't all of the sudden become a star.
In that case, find me someone who can sing like that....... i don't care how many other artists made that song a hit for themselves... nobody can sing falsetto better than the Bee Gees... enough said.
Barry gibb is too tired or not yet warm up. After that is ok...I think that's why they don't wanna release the others concert other than in Las Vegas concert...
i was there Fantastic!!!!!

So how many Bee Gees songs have you actually heared?
I suggest, you heighten you're musical knowledge or at least learn his name.;)

The REAL talents in the family were obviously Barry and Andy. Enough said.

The falsetto quality just declines with age. That would happend with anyone who constantly used falsetto for 30 years!

Yeah, Barry sounds like he's struggling here, especially in the beginning. Still love the Bee Gees, and the song though.

The emotional buildup and release in this song are amazing. Barry's falsetto as well.
