Audience review
It was an unforgettable evening. The audience were dancing and standing on the chairs. We felt like in the old days. It’s a great show and The Italian Brothers sing with so much feeling. It comes right from the heart. Thanks for a great evening

Audience review
The Italian Bee Gees sound very much like the original. The are just great singers with a very good band. Also we loved the John Travolta dancer! It was very nice to see and hear about the Bee Gees history. We’ll certainly visit Massachusetts again when they come to our area next year.

So good to see all my friends again and enjoy another wonderful night of BG music in this oldest city of Germany: Trier. Some of us were suffering from the flu but nevertheless it was a great show and afterwards of course time for a chat and a bite to eat, together with the whole team.

Marion / GSI:
Close to home, so surely we wanted to visit the show of our friends again in Dortmund. Had a great night!! So special during this concert tour is the fact that after each show the boys take the time to spend some moments with the fans, the audience who is interested in meeting them at a meet and greet for a signed photo, a CD, or simply to chat some words or have a picture taken with the Italian Bee Gees and Blue Weaver.

Massachusetts – Das BEE GEES Musical
THANK YOU GERMANY!
It’s done! 52 shows with nearly 50 000 spectators. What a great experience! What an amazing audience each night! THE ITALIAN BEE GEES, BLUE, Patrick, the band/singers and the tour-crew: We all wanna say thank you to each of you. Thank you to Anja and Detlev from our fan-club for their fantastic support. And thank you to everybody that you remember the wonderful music of BARRY, MAURICE, ROBIN and ANDY. We promise you by heart to return in 2014.
New Dates coming soon. Stay tuned and have a nice summer!

The Italian Bee Gees about: Blue Weaver
This man has shared stage and music with The Bee Gees, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Barbra Streisand, Andy Gibb, Queen, Stevie Wonder, Chicago …. After a Tour spent together, we can say that behind the great artist there is a even greater man. Thank you Blue, for every moment you have given us in 4 unforgettable months, and thank you for making special every note played together.

Blue Weaver about The Italian Bee Gees
These 3 brothers they do not impersonate! if they did I wouldn’t be playing with them, that is the reason I haven’t played with any other ‘Tribute Bands’. The Italian Bee Gees they are special!.

The public who in the old days enjoyed the real Bee Gees and their hits now is taken on a nostalgic wave by the Italian Brothers. When the brothers invite former Bee Gees keyboard player Blue Weaver on stage and together play and sing the huge disco hits the audience explodes and everyone starts to dance in the hall. With Stayin’ Alive, there’s also coming a complete dance group on stage (Eleven der Kultur- und Tanzwerkstatt Würzburg: Leitung: Katharina Lehmann). During Pasquale’s very moving ‘Words’ it’s getting quiet, arms move in the air and lighters light up in the hall. The whole show is hosted by Jesse Caron, a BBC reporter who tells to the audience the story of the Gold Boys in Pop music, in between the live music.

Audience review
For audiences who grew up with The Bee Gees and their music there’s not so much to go to in theatres these days. The Massachusetts show however was a lovely surprise for us. A chronological travel through the career of one of the best groups ever, performed very, very well by 3 (also) brothers from Italy with their wonderful live band and backing singers. A great show which deserves to get much more attention by German press and much more advertisement through the country as many people here in Germany have no idea this tour is going on and you should all see this!!!

This day that seemed not ever finish has come to an end. After doing 240 km in almost 8 hours for accidents and roads blocked by blizzards in Germany we managed to make the show even though with an hour’s delay. Thanks to the public of Siegen who waited. An applause to all technical … Jo Pa Bateman, Michael Kuhna, Lars Kuhnt, Melanie, Mathias Mantzke, and us, Walter, Davide Pasquale, Blue Weaver, Danilo Chiarella Ivan Avicolli Laura Ugolini Antoni Gaudio, Fabrizio Saullo….. and thanks to Ermelindo that took us safely. Good night

Audience review
Beautiful, all these old Bee Gees songs. When you sometimes closed your eyes you’d the feeling you were listening to the real Bee Gees. The Italian brothers know what they are doing and know how to entertain the audience and sing the Bee Gees songs with so much feeling which comes from their hearts, it’s moving!
