Death Of Robin Gibb

I just heard about the passing of Robin Gibb. I hope rage plays his 1984 hit Boys Do Fall In love.

Re: Death Of Robin Gibb

With Donna Summer gone last Friday, we lose another icon in Robin Gibb. So sad.

Let's hope Rage will play more than just a few of their music videos.

Re: Death Of Robin Gibb

I mentioned this on the Donna Summer thread. Let's hope Rage hosts a Bee Gees special this weekend or next as there are many music clips in the ABC archives.

Hope they don't show the 1971 concert from Festival Hall, Melbourne again as this was aired in tribute to Maurice in 2003.

I guess the best thing to do is make suggestions on the Rage website as it's worth a try.

Re: Death Of Robin Gibb

ABC2 are playing Bee Gees: In our Own Time on Fiday night 8.30pm.

Re: Death Of Robin Gibb

I hope rage play 'You Win Again' from '87. My fave Bee Gees track...and I don't have the video.

Re: Death Of Robin Gibb

Rare vids from Robin Gibb coming up on rage this morning!

Re: Death Of Robin Gibb

WOW * The video for 'Boys Do Fall in Love' is UTTERLY AMAZZZZZING!

I record rage on my IQ as you never know what setting rage will have in store and thank goodness as it was in 16.9 for some SILLY reason. So my copy doesn't have cut off titles, pheeeeew!

The video is MORE 80s than the 80s!! WOW

They played 13 of them. I liked the song "This is where I came in".

Re: Death Of Robin Gibb

I remember seeing the clip for Juliet when it first came out. Never ever thought i would see it again.WOW!

Re: Death Of Robin Gibb

I am hoping someone taped the full Bee Gees special that was played on Rage Saturday morning. The track "Wouldnt I be Someone" is very rare as is the film clip for "My World" - I got a bit sidetracked Saturday and missed the whole thing!! To be honest I have not even visited the Rage website since January -silly me!!

Re: Death Of Robin Gibb

I looked at the Rage website and they had some crap about some bunch of unknowns guest programming on Saturday morning. Also the titles of some obscure cross-promotional JJJ clips as usual. I saw nothing on the site about The Bee Gees or Robin. As a result I missed out thinking there was nothing on. They really are getting slack.

Re: Death Of Robin Gibb

Um, those 'UNKNOWNS" are the legendary Gang Of Four from the late 70s and 80s. Post Punk Funk legends!

I only kept the Robin clips solo videos if anyone needs a copy but didn't keep any Bee Gees stuff as the Robin Gibb solo videos caught my eyes more...

Re: Death Of Robin Gibb

I recorded the Bee Gees/Robin Gibb special on Sat morning rage, but missed half the clip of the first song which kicked it off. Going by the timings on the playlist, I expected it to start around 9.08am or later, but I was caught out when the clip came on at 9.04am! Email me if you would like a copy. Cheers.

Re: Death Of Robin Gibb

The CD/DVD special edition of Ultimate Bee Gees album is now available in shops and on online, they have a DVD of unreleased videos includes some promo videos such as one of Australia's first promotional film clips, Spicks and Specks.

Re: Death Of Robin Gibb

Thanks for that Nicholas, I'll check it out. I heard on the radio this morning that Robin will get a public funeral at St.Andrew's or St.Paul's Cathedral, England in September. Did Maurice get the same in 2003?

Hi Brett (2),
I've noticed those 2 clips have been uploaded on YouTube this week and never seen these before on Rage as I posted some suggestions last Monday when Robin died. One clip they didn't show was "Lonely Days" which they do have in the ABC vaults on GTK & Hitscene.

Michael, I've got 'You Win Again' from a Showbiz VHS (official promo VHS) from 1988, though it has a brief 'Showbiz' logo over it near the start briefly.

Re: Death Of Robin Gibb

Thanks for that Nathan, but I'm gonna buy The Bee Gees Ultimate CD/DVD - it has 'You Win Again'. This would be my first Bee Gees package I will own after all these years!
