John Acosta as Barry Gibb has performed in Bee Gees Tributes all over the world. His portrayal of lead singer Barry Gibb is with a zest for detail, like no other. From the look to the falsetto you will close your eyes and say “its Barry!” John Acosta’s Bee Gees Gold Tribute is the ultimate salute, and experience of seeing the Bee Gees in their prime, LIVE ONCE AGAIN! With the detailed vocal stylings of John Acosta (Barry), Eric Smearman (Robin), Peter Sprague (Maurice) as the Brothers Gibb, there is a sensation that will make you blurt out “Wow.. I just seen and heard the Bee Gees!” Backed by a live band, this Vegas Bee Gees tribute recreates the look and sound of the Bee Gees from the 60’s to the late 70’s, with their unique falsettos that made them legends. Performing such early hits as Massachusetts, I started a Joke, to the later Disco classics , Stayin’ Alive , You should be dancing etc.
There will be a 15 minute intermission.
