"Massachusetts" by Bee Gees

"Massachusetts" is a song written, recorded, and released by the Bee Gees in 1967 and later appearing on their 1968 album, Horizontal. It was their first Number 1 hit in the UK.

Vocals are by Robin Gibb (most of the lead), Barry Gibb, and Maurice Gibb. The band are Barry Gibb (rhythm guitar), Maurice Gibb (bass guitar), Vince Melouney (lead guitar), and Colin Petersen (drums), with an orchestral arrangement by Bill Shepherd.

For Maurice Gibb, the song had a painful memory attached. Shortly after it was recorded, Beatles manager Brian Epstein told him that it was beautiful and would be the hit of the summer. These proved to be Epstein's last words to Maurice; Epstein died a few days later

Yes, I saw them live at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas back in 1997! You can actually purchase the concert on DVD! It was called "One Night Only." Yep, they're amazing. I love when the three of them stand around the mic and Barry plays the acoustic...it's magic! Their harmony is amazing!

Hello, Eleonara1960. This was their "One For All" concert in Australia performed in 1989. This is one of the best performances I've heard them play. Although, I can say that about all their shows. I saw them in Las Vegas, 1997, "One Nigh Only" concert which was great too! Love the Brothers Gibb!

Hi, Ygalappaththi. Great this video, as well as the one of "Gotta get a message": great particularly the karaoke version, (I wonder when it might be recorded: late Eighties?, early Nineties?, trying to guess on the basis of Robin's hair...). Thank you ever so much for sharing these gems of the beloved Brothers. Cheers. Eleonora
