Living Eyes - Part 1

from Words - The Bee Gees Podcast

Stuart and Cristiano return for the fourth season with 1981's 'Living Eyes'. In the midst of legal affairs with RSO, a disco backlash, and a shake-up to the recording style and personnel which had accompanied the Gibbs over the previous five years, the resulting album, which also had a smash-hit predecessor in 'Spirits Having Flown' to live up to, was always going to suffer. And although the album struggled commercially and critically, and subsequently dismissed by the Brothers Gibb, it has gone on to become a fan favourite. A return to natural voices, orchestral bombast and the triumphant return of Robin and Maurice on lead vocals make this album a special one. In this first part, Stuart and Cristiano discuss the context of the album's recording, and the five songs that comprise side one.Tim Roxborogh - 'Living Eyes at 40' - Barry Gibb With Tim Roxborogh On The 40th Anniversary Of Living Eyes - 2021 - YouTubeVocal split extracts created through LALAL.AI: Vocal Remover & Instrumental AI Splitter | LALAL.AIFind us on social medias @wordsbeegeespodcast.
