How Can You Mend A Broken Heart


 This is the DVD documentary about the legendary group the Bee Gees which it talks about starting singing together as kids, going to England  in 1967 achieving early international Hits To Love Somebody, Massachusetts, I Started A Joke etc, their 15 month break up, coming back in the early 70's, their influences, the personalities  between the brothers, the great success they achieved with Main Course, Children of The World albums and the Saturday Night Fever as well as classics including Jive Talkin, You Should Be Dancing, How Deep Is Your Love, Stayin Alive etc and has interviews with surviving Bee Gee Barry Gibb, archival interviews with Robin and Maurice, Vince Melouney, Eric Clapton, Noel Gallagher, Maurice's widow Yvonne, Robin's second wife Dwina, Maurice's first wife and singer Lulu, Justin Timberlake, guitarist Alan Kendall, keyboard player Blue Weaver and Drummer Dennis Byron etc. It's FANTASTIC and BRILLIANT with great stories which some never been told before and an enjoyable one indeed. It's directed by Frank Marshall and the only downsides that is not an lot of mention of Australia or Brisbane even though Barry briefly mentions that living in Miami reminds him of his childhood in Australia and also there is no special features on the DVD which it's disappointing. This is an must for Bee Gees fans and I give it 4 stars as it's in the shops now so do yourselves an favour and BUY IT which you will be amazed.
