Great job giving their perspective, informing you and tugging at your emotions. Really moving and just a great show.

Yes. It is.
I highly recommend the albums Best of Bee Gees Vol.1 and Best of Bee Gees Vol.2, or Bee Gees Gold if you can find it on vinyl. These include their hits prior to their mid-70's R&B and Disco comeback.

The doc didn't get into Stigwood's seedier side. He's infamous for bribing the powers that be at Billboard to keep his acts in top positions. Most famously, he kept Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street out of the #1 position for two months while Andy Gibb's Shadow Dancing remained at the top. It was 1978, and between Saturday Night Fever, Bee Gees, Andy Gibb, and Grease, Stigwood ruled Top 40 radio for the entire year.

Watched it last night. While I was metal fan and wasn’t a huge fan of the disco era, I think Bee Gees music separates itself from the rest of that era. It never gets old and stands on its own. I found it interesting that they kind of just stumbled into the whole falsetto thing.

Is it just me or do people use different language when discussing a media that they liked, vs something they didn't like? I mean, I do it too, but it's still weird.
If I don't like a movie, I very well may say something like "it sucked arse." Whereas if I liked a movie it's "an exception film, one destined to maintain it's value throughout the passage of time."

I like both eras, but the pre-disco years were exceptional.
Actually my favorite period was where they were crossing over. The album Main Course where there was some pop, some country and their first forays into disco. Great album.

I really liked the doc. Even though I knew they wrote Islands in the Stream I was unaware they put out some solid country music. They were just exceptionally talented.

Watched this doc tonight - damn it was good. I played clarinet in an eight grade band that played How Deep is Your Love (dork level high). I was never a Bee Gees hater but I didn’t realize how much they contributed to music RE music engineering
The keyboard player that helped compose How Deep Is Your Love made me tear up, just a bit..

I don’t give a shite how corny or cheesy you think their
Music was, Night Fever, How deep is your Love and Run to Me we’re damn good songs. They had a harmonic sound that will never be duplicated by man or machine.
Great documentary that is deserving of a watch by anyone regardless of age.

Never was a real fan of their music and that whole falsetto thing they had going on during that time. That whole disco genre was kind of lost on me even though I was hitting clubs at that time.
I did see the documentary and it was an interesting watch about their rise, fall, rise and eventual fading into history as three of the four brothers passed away.

Where is this ?

Bee Bees got hurt by posthumously (after Disco died) as being the face of Disco..when they had so much more before Disco.
But they ended up being lampooned for what they produced at their height (see Airplane).
They didn't start Disco but they reached the tops and then ended Disco. And then like John Travolta in the 90s, had a resurgence in music sales because of appreciation along with nostalgia. Same story with ABBA.

And this is what was really interesting to me about the doc. I remembered them during the late 70s Disco wave, but I was largely unaware of their previous music and successes, much less their post-Disco song writing.
I thought the doc was great - watched it a handful of times and kept appreciating more about them as I kept learning more about their full career and lives.

I had no idea how far back they went, they began in the late 50's. I would not have guessed that
