Barry Gibb Mythology Tour Thread (Bee Gees)

Barry's voice was incredible. Strong and breathy in the quiet songs and ballads and...as ridiculously high and hitting all the right notes in the falsetto numbers.

 

Very good to hear!

 

It's sad Robin and Maurice isn't here to take part of this, they would be over the moon about it. I honestly think they would rank this higher than their CBEs. One of the last pieces, if not the very last, that Robin wrote and demoed was reminiscing about their younger days living in Australia.

 

Barry visits his old school in Scarborough, QLD.
My wife says "he's like a big teddy bear you just want to cuddle up to!"

 

Thanks Belusipower for all the great coverage of this tour. I especially enjoyed seeing the set lists and reading your concert reviews.

 

wow, a pretty amazing setlist, worth paying some $ to see for suuurrre. I consider myself a Barry fan, truly some great songwriting in their heyday and impressive to the Fabs as well. Oh, to hang out in that clique circa 1967...drool....

 

He'll be doing a few dates in the UK later this year. Tickets go on sale this coming Friday, 26th April.

This autumn Barry will continue his Mythology Tour in the UK., performing songs from his illustrious career. Starting in Birmingham on Saturday 21st September at the LG Arena, then Wednesday 25th. of September, Dublin the O2. Manchester on 29th September at the Arena and treading the boards at London's O2 on October 3rd. Tickets go on sale this Friday 26th. of April Barry has designed the tour as a salute to his brothers creating what is sure to be an emotional journey as he draws from every era of their timeless catalogue and huge international success achieved by The Bee Gees. Barry has just completed the Mythology Tour in Australia where he performed at sold out venues including the Entertainment Centre in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. With a career that has spanned more than five decades, Barry Gibb stands as one of the most prolific singer, song-writer and producer's of the modern era.

oh I hope he's coming to the USA

 

Wishing here as well.

 

What a killer set list!

 

He's playing the O2 Dublin on the 25th September. Must check that out.

 

If he comes to the US, people will FREAK.

 

I would so be there!!!

 

Word is that there won't be any more dates than these for this year but the tour will resume next year.

Since I have no idea what future dates and places in Europe will be I'm aiming for London, if possible I might add Manchester. Would be nice if he hit Copenhagen next year but chances for that are slim.

and it continues...​

Mythology Tour UK 2013​

​

Sat 21 Sep 2013: Birmingham LG Arena

​

Sun 29 Sep 2013: Manchester Arena

​

Thu 3 Oct 2013: London The O2​

 

I hope he is recording some of these shows for the rest of us!

 

I heard they recorded the first Sydney show for dvd release...

 

I'm booked for Manchester...

 

Pre-sale on Wednesday. Got mine. Tickets go on sale at 9am later today. Optimum standing arrangement in the O2 for some reason. Given the (expected) age profile of the audience a fully seated show would have been the better option IMO.

 

There has been a high bar set by Belushipower, so if you want to keep your forum "Bee Gees Top Fan" title you need to provide us with some excellent reviews!

 

Ill attempt to get a ticket at the weeekend. Thanks for the info.

 

LOL. Won't make any guarantees. Looks like it will attract a number of my fellow collector friends and I fear the outcome... I should probably take a later flight home!

 

I flew to see him in Sydney and I'll see him ten minutes away from my house (The O2) as well. Good year to see Macca, Stones, Beach Boys, CSN and Gibb! Just need Bowie and I've seen the lot in 12 months!

 

Hey Raph, good to see you on here again. I was playing a Bee Gees Extended mix cd the other day in the car and thought of you. Any word on your next batch of those - I recall "Subway" and some other '76 era songs were under consideration.

 

Hey dude,

Thanks! Still would love to get my hands on the mid seventies stuff including Subway which is my fave song of all time. Alas, I'm limited by what's out there!
