The Bee Gees - BBC Sessions, Volume 5: In Concert, Wembley Arena, London, Britain, 7-7-1991

At first, I wasn't going to post this, because I had already posted a BBC concert by the Bee Gees from 1989, just two years earlier. But I figure it's better to err on the side of posting more music, not less. Besides, on closer inspection I realized there actually is a pretty different set list here, helped by the fact that this is a considerably longer concert, about half an hour longer than the 1989 one. So here you are.

In March 1991, the Bee Gees released the studio album "High Civilization." So naturally this concert was to help promote that. The album was criticized for its dense production. The Wikipedia entry on the album says its "hard, loud percussion ensured that the drums and beats are loud in the mix, pushing the Bee Gees' vocal harmonies further back. The album favors a dance style with electronic instruments and studio effects, such as programmed drums and synthesizers..." One newspaper review at the time said the vocals were "mixed into oblivion." So this concert is a good chance to hear those songs with less of those trendy production techniques, if only because they're hard to reproduce in concert.

This album is unreleased. Apparently, the concert was broadcast not just in Britain as typical for the BBC, but to many other countries, according to the between-song banter. So the group must have given it their all. A big chunk of the middle of it was largely performed in acoustic mode.

I know of one more BBC concert after this, from 2001, so I plan on posting that soon.

This album is an hour and 44 minutes long.

The cover photo is from a concert in Wembley in 1991. But I don't know if it's from this one or a different one, since the band played there multiple times that year.
