Keppel Road: The Life and Music of the Bee Gees

There just hasn't been enough coverage of the Bee Gees career, but I'm happy to report that this film more than makes up for it. It covers their career in great depth since their move from Australia in the early sixties to them becoming the world's biggest group in the late seventies. I would recommend it to any fan.

Let me say from the beginning that I am a fan of the Bee Gees as composers but not of their musical style. This documentary was made at the best possible moment from the perspective of their career - they were after 40 years of singing together and 30 years of fame, but still in full creative power. This allowed them to be able to tell a full story of life and music, and also to play many of their classic or newer (at that time) songs - a dream combination for these who love them. A few years later Maurice Gibb passed away, and the surviving brothers decided to stop using the name of the band without him.

Yet the film is suffering of too much respect, it looks too much like having been written and edited with their blessing, it too much resembles an official biography. It is actually an official form of art, a good one in its genre, but this is a genre which hardly results in masterpieces. Too much respect and love sometimes suffocate art.

I've been a fan of the Bee Gees since the mid 80's. This video document covers the most important things on their lives. Maybe the dark side of their lives isn't covered deep enough, but I think that's fair. After all, they have done well after more than 30 years in the business. Enjoy!

For anyone who loves the Bee Gees or likes to reminice about the'70's, this is the video you CAN'T Miss! It's everything Bee Gees: biography,music,news,interviews,etc. I HIGHLY recommened it.
