The Bee Gees were frequent guests during the early years of The Midnight Special. In August 1973, the brothers paid tribute to the Beatles with a 5 song medley, comprised of:
"If I Fell".
"I Need You".
"You'll Be Back".
"This Boy".
"She Loves You".
Three of the five get regular airplay on classic rock and oldies channels. You know which ones, but check the Gibbs' harmonies on this acoustic medley.

The Bee Gees would go on to appear in a Beatles tribute movie, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Their manager-producer at the time, Robert Stigwood, produced that film, which also saw Steve Martin cover "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". I think it had the misfortune of coming out around the same time as "Grease", or shortly after (Stigwood's label also produced the Grease soundtrack).
