Barry Gibb Mythology Tour Thread (Bee Gees)

Barry has arrived home!

Reviews please...

 

I don't know....he seems to miss as many notes as he makes. My favorite group, so on the one hand I'm glad he's still out there, but on the other, I wonder if he should still be out there touring. He's making a lot of his own songs sound bad, like Robin did when he did his solo shows and performed songs that Barry has sung lead on. That was pretty painful! They were all clearly much better as a group. It is definitely a testament to his popularity that people are clearly there for the nostalgia, the love of their songs, and respect for Barry. I'm glad to have all their classic videos! Thanks to the op for posting!

 

Now coming to the US http://www.pollstar.com/news_article.aspx?ID=809252

May 15 – Boston, Mass., TD Garden
May 19 – Philadelphia, Pa., Wells Fargo Center
May 23 – Wantagh, N.Y., Nikon At Jones Beach Theater
May 27 – Chicago, Ill., United Center
May 31 – Concord, Calif., Sleep Train Pavilion At Concord
June 4 – Los Angeles, Calif., Hollywood Bowl

 

I am glad to see it...but how about a few shows in the south...Atlanta, Charlotte...??? Please?

 

Looks like a bunch more dates will be added in. It is not economically rational to schedule a show only every 4 days unless either the health of the performers or difficulties moving an elaborate set require that. Of course those would likely be added dates in or between the listed venues.
Looks like he is unsure how well he will sell in the US and is testing the waters in major markets with these initial dates going on sale.

 

I hope he comes to Denver. Not to be negative, but I will be pleasantly surprised if these dates sell well enough that the tour will expand. Hope I'm very wrong. Glad I got to attend both the One Night Only and One for All tours. One for All was just amazing. One Night Only was very stripped down and not as much fun, and Barry's singing just isn't what it once was. It's wonderful that he's still at it and not retired. Wish he would do a full fledged studio album with a good producer.

 

Oh, I've gotta go.

 

I wonder if they are filming some dates? Would love to get a dvd...cant imagine him touring again to this extent and his voice isn't exactly improving with age.

 

Hollywood Bowl I'll be there.

 

United Center in Chicago is a pretty large venue with around 20,000 seats. Kinda large if he's just testing the market.

I'm definitely planning on buying tickets.

 

I saw Barry's show in Ft. Lauderdale a couple years ago, and it was without reservation a wonderful experience. I'm definitely going to be going to another one of these shows.
I'm cautiously optimistic he will do just fine at the box office in these markets.

 

Pretty sure it's 35 years since he's played in Canada.

 

FYI: presales for this tour start today!

 

Got my tickets for the Bowl. Last time I saw him was at Dodger Stadium 1979 for the Spirits Having Flown tour.

 

oh I want to see this show. what are the passcodes i see there are many presales happening right now still.

 

The Live Nation password is "first". That's okay to share, right?

Going to the Boston show. Got the "cheapest" seat available. Looking forward to it!

 

I'm thinking about checking this show out,I'm lucky to be on his itinerary this leg.

 

Got my tix for Chicago! If anyone needs the presale pw let me know. (not sure if it's ok to post that.)

 

And I've got two tickets to the Jones Beach show in May. Row T in the orchestra. Mucho dinero ... but it'll be worth it.

 

I saw that tour in New Haven, CT. Plus, I was lucky enough to be up front at their ONE tour in NYC in 1989.

 

That show was wonderful. I was there as well

 

COME TO PITTSBURGH, BARRY!!

 

The Philly presale password is "EMAIL"...

 

Four days is not a long layover between stops considering it would take at two to get from Wantagh to Chicago and another two from Chicago to Concord. Perhaps money is not a his main concern but keeping his voice in good shape.
