1979 Bee Gees concert at Dodger Stadium

During their 90-minute performance, the Bee Gees included more than a dozen of their Top 20 hits. During the concert, actress Barbra Streisand borrowed photographer George Rose’s camera and 400mm lens for a close-up look.

Times pop music critic Robert Hilburn reported in the July 9, 1979, edition:

Thank goodness for the Bee Gees. I was beginning to think Dodger Stadium was jinxed. The ball club appears headed for its worst season since coming here from Brooklyn 21 years ago. The Bee Gees concert Saturday night, however, showed that the stadium can still field a winner. Maybe the team will get inspired now.

The Bee Gees – Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb – sold out the place (56,000 tickets) and put on a classy, though conservative demonstration of why it is one of the biggest-selling record acts of the pop-rock era.

Dodger Stadium probably hasn't seen as many hits in one night since the ball club's pennant-winning drive last summer. The Bee Gees crammed all or part of 16 Top 20 singles into its 90-minute package.

It was the trio's first local appearance since the phenomenal success of "Saturday Night Fever," and the mostly young audience shrieked with the unabashed adoration normally associated with teenybop idols like the Gibbs' younger brother, Andy, who joined the group on stage for the encore. …

Robert Stigwood -The man behind the Bee Gees

Robert Stigwood was born in Port Pirie, South Australia.
In the 1950s he moved to London, with only five pounds in his pocket.
Through a mixture of talent, charm, and bravado, and many a bottle of champagne,  he became renowned for his ability to pick and promote talent.
Within two decades Robert was the entertainment industry's most powerful tycoon, managing the careers of Cream and Eric Clapton and The Who.
In 1967, the Beatles manager Brian Epstein passed him a demo tape, made by three young singers from Australia - the Gibb brothers.
Stigwood loved them, signed them, and made them superstars.
Despite his many successes, there were also great crashes including a Chuck Berry tour which forced 'Stiggy' to declare bankruptcy.
Robert spent his later years living as a near-recluse on an estate on the Isle of Wight.

Update Barry Gibb

 UPDATE ABOUT BARRY

 On request a little update about some plans and projects: GSI understands that The feature documentary will not be completed in time for release this year but for sure I imagine it should be released next year and would be available worldwide, not sure yet if Universal may plan some initial cinema showings followed by Cable / TV. Barry,

Yvonne and Dwina have completed their interviews for the documentary and continue to assist the producers with their research.

Universal are still exploring the idea of a Theatrical Stage Musical but a non - biopic concept, using Bee Gees’ songs. Also Barry is currently considering more projects for the future, but there is nothing firm to announce at this time. GSI will keep you informed as always so stay tuned!!
