Bee Gees

In November 1970, the Bee Gees performed 'I Started a Joke' live in Melbourne, a pivotal moment reflecting their evolving artistry. Just before this recording, they had released their album 'Odessa' in 1969, which showcased their shift towards a more sophisticated sound and complex songwriting. Interestingly, 'I Started a Joke' was part of their 1968 album, 'Idea', highlighting their earlier pop influences. During this time, the Bee Gees were transitioning from their initial success in Australia to becoming global superstars, setting the stage for their later dominance in the disco era. The raw emotion in their live performances, coupled with their signature harmonies, really captures the essence of their musical journey during this exciting period.
