I tried isolating Barry's rhythm guitar on Spicks & Specks.

I always felt like this songs rhythm guitar was underrated. Actually a lot of Barry's guitar playing is underrated & overlooked. He always had this cool way of playing rhythm guitar, the fact it's in Open D too makes it a lot more unique. The D7 chord is deeper & the open D chord also sounds great, it always adds this impact to the song whenever going from a higher chord to the open chord. Also helps that whenever he plays like a B C or A chord, he always does a barred chord of it, so it really adds to the sound of it.

Hello, I'm a huge Bee Gees fan & I've been trying to piece together any & all live recordings of the Bee Gees in the 1960s as it is my favorite era of theirs. I want to know if we have audio of all the songs that they recorded live from the first session. I believe we have all of the second one on other bootlegs out there.

The main thing that is throwing me off is that it's said on the wiki that they recorded World, but the only live recording we have is one that seems to be from a mimed Top of the Pops performance with the studio track & their live vocal over it.
