Maurice Gibb Performs Lay It On Me Live in Melbourne, Australia

Location: Melbourne, Australia Date: November 30, 1973

By November 1973, the Bee Gees were riding high on the success of their album 'Life in a Tin Can,' which had come out earlier that year. This period marked a fascinating transition for the band as they began to explore a new sound that would eventually lead them to the disco era. The performance of Maurice Gibb singing 'Lay It On Me' in Melbourne captures the infectious energy that the Bee Gees exuded at live shows, a far cry from their earlier folk roots. Interestingly, this performance was during a time when they were shifting their musical style, and fans were eager to witness this evolution firsthand. The live recording not only highlights Maurice's vocal prowess but also puts a spotlight on the tight-knit bond of the Gibb brothers, which was a fundamental aspect of their stage presence. It’s a moment frozen in time as the trio was on the brink of even greater fame.
