Live With The Frankfurt Neue Philharmonic Orchestra [2004, 1h]
~ watch now ~

To celebrate the life and work of the great Robin Gibb who tragically passed away last week, we're bringing you a spectacular concert from the legendary sing-songwriter.


As well as being one third of the Bee Gees, one of the most successful groups of all time around the world, Robin Gibb also had a successful solo career, with Saved By The Bell reaching No.2 in the UK singles charts as far back as 1969.


Following the sad death of his twin brother Maurice in 2003, Robin released Magnet, his first solo album for fifteen years.


To coincide with the release of Magnet, Robin Gibb took to the road accompanied by the Frankfurt Neue Philharmonic Orchestra. The sell out concerts celebrated his entire career from early Bee Gees and solo hits like Massachusetts, Words, Saved By The Bell and I’ve Gotta Get A Message To You through Jive Talkin’, Stayin’ Alive, Night Fever and You Win Again up to Love Hurts.


Featuring the Frankfurt Neue Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Paul Momberger.


The Band: Nikolo Kozev - Guitar, Nelko Kolarov - Piano and Keyboards, Wayne Banks - Bass, Dave Knight - Drums, Errol Reid, Amalia Gueroguieva, Naimee Coleman and Nathan Lenz - Backing Vocals.
