Last concert of Mythology part 2: London O2 Arena
Review from The Independent:
After a strong start, the middle section of the gig is more variable. Highlights include early (and reasonably rare) tracks such as
"Every Christian Lion-Hearted Man Will Show You", "New York Mining Disaster 1941" and "Morning of My Life". However, their standout ballad is still
"How Deep Is Your Love", with one of the finest lyrics about being young lovers ever to feature in a pop song:
"'Cause we're living in a world of fools/ Bringing us down/ When they should all just let us be." It provokes a standing ovation as does his perky foot-stomper "Spicks and Specks".
Read more at:
independent.co.uk
Review from The Telegraph
Barry Gibb gets a standing ovation simply for walking on stage. Sixty seven and silver maned, back on stage after fourteen years, and following the deaths of Maurice and Robin, he is the last Gibb brother standing.
Gibb, his trademark high falsetto in fine shape, rolled back the years, paying tribute to mentor
Robert Stigwood on a delicate First of May, revisiting early hits Spicks and Specks and New York Mining Disaster 1941.
As Gibb recalled his friendship with the late Sir David Frost before Too Much Heaven, the thought struck that tonight was as much about death as it was about dancing.
During an impassioned, gospel-flecked and grief-tinged To Love Somebody Gibb repeatedly threw his head heavenwards,
as if addressing his brothers directly, and likewise on I've Gotta Get a Message to You, on which he duetted with his heavily bearded and tattooed son Stephen.

Emotional return for Barry
Barry Gibb, has made an emotional return to the childhood haunts where he first learned to sing with his late brothers.
Barry sat on the steps of the semi-detached house in Keppel Road, again where he spent hours perfecting harmonies with Maurice and Robin in the 1950s.
He also visited Oswald Road Primary School, where all three brothers were pupils.

Plans for the coming time
I'm only talking here about plans and possibilities but so many fans keep asking me what's going to happen next with Mythology and what are Barry's plans etc.
As far as it looks right now Barry has some appearances later this month like mentioned earlier on this website and will probably start recording some new material after the finishing of a rebuild of his studio.
Early next summer he plans a number of Mythology concerts in the USA/Canada. Cities which have been mentioned so far are: Toronto (Canada), L.A., Las Vegas, Houston and Miami (USA).
Then there are plans of doing some shows in South America probably later next year and some concerts in Europe for 2015. (maybe Germany and one or two more countries).
As soon as anything is confirmed and dates become known we'll surely post this on our website and face book page.

Mythology Tour, Dublin
fan review
The concert was brilliant and you're in for a treat if you're going to one
of them.
As the Gibb's confirmed, audience reaction was fantastic and the place was
buzzing from the first to last minute. Some might find the extent of
audience participation a bit too much, but that's fairly normal for Dublin.
I thought the concert was very well paced and well planned. The mix of songs
from different eras, the hits mixed with lesser known songs, the mix of
voices, stopping to talk about Stigwood, the brothers, Linda etc., there
wasn't a weak moment.

Barry Gibb Mythology Tour: Birmingham
The first glimpse we see of Barry Gibb, making his first British appearance for 14 years, is his hair glistening under a spotlight.
A lovely 1st of May (backed by grainy images of them as children in Chorlton-cum-Hardy) is for Robert Stigwood, who masterminded their career from its pop-rock beginnings in the 1960s and Too Much Heaven is dedicated to the late Sir David Frost.
At times, it's almost uncomfortably raw, and on occasions Barry seems to wipe away a tear. However, there's humour too.
Some of the songs :
1st of May
Too Much Heaven
Run to Me
Message to You
Jive Talkin'
You Should Be Dancin'
Spicks and Specks

Nerina Pallot will open Mythology concerts
Barry has announced critically acclaimed singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Nerina Pallot will open for him when he brings his 'Mythology' Tour to The O2 Dublin in just two weeks time (September 25).
Tickets from €69.50 including booking fee are on sale now and are available to purchase from Ticketmaster.ie and usual outlets nationwide.
As a lifelong Bee Gees fan , Nerina is absolutely thrilled to be opening for Barry Gibb on his forthcoming UK & Irish tour.
Anyone who has seen Nerina Pallot will tell you that she is one of the most engaging live female artists in the UK today and that the Brit &
Ivor Novello nominated Nerina is one of the UK's finest song writing talents, writing songs for artists including Kylie.
Her most recent top 40 album 'Year of The Wolf' received glowing reviews from Mojo, The Sunday Times, The Guardian & The Sun, Album of the Week at Radio 2 & had three massive airplay hits including
'Put Your Hands Up'. Her fifth studio album will be released in 2014.

Bee Gees on Australia's Bandstand
The first legitimate release of some of the Bee Gees' earliest television
appearances on Brian Henderson's Bandstand are now available in Australia
here: umbrellaent.com.au
This DVD includes the Bee Gees on episodes from 13 February 1963, 24 April
1963 and 7 September 1963.
The quality is decent and it is nice to see the performances uncut in the
context of the original programs. The shows are from kinescopes (films of
the original video broadcasts) and look to be the best we'll ever see of
them. Later volumes of this DVD series will likely include more clips.
