And What a Night it Was

This Bee Gees' concert is an excellent showcase of all their hits as well songs made into hits by other performers. The songs are: "Massachusetts" and "I Started a Joke" , "Words", "To Love Somebody", and "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", "Night Fever", "You Should be Dancing", "Stayin' Alive", and "Grease", "Alone", "Still Waters", "Closer than Close", "I Gotta get a message to You", "Islands in the Stream", "One", "Lonely Days", "Morning of My Life", "New York Mining Disaster 1941", Too Much Heaven", "I can't see nobody", "Run To Me" "And the Sun Will Shine", "Nights On Broadway", "Heartbreaker", "guilty", "tragedy", "Jive Talking", and "how deep is your Love". Included is a very moving tribute/duet to/with brother Andy done to the song "Our Love", and other artists are recognized--Frankie Valli, Olivia Newton-John, John Travolta. Celine Dion is the special guest who does a duet on the song "immortality".Their voices and harmonies are still exquisite; Robin, with that hauntingly beautiful sound, and Barry's voice, what can you say, is wonderful while Maurice seems to be the personality(good natured and funny) who deftly handles all the accompanying instruments. All three have given us FOUR decades of terrific music and have condensed it into ONE night's performance showcasing their unmistakable, and recognizable as ever Bee Gees' "sound". this rates 9/10.

Staying Power

The Bee Gees have been all over the place. They've been around since the early '60s, and in this concert (taped in 1997) they remain as powerful as ever. Hitting the high notes like no other, the Brothers Gibb show they have not lost their touch.Having written smash hits in the '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s, it's no wonder the Brothers Gibb could not perform every single one of them. They pack almost 30 of their songs from those four consecutive decades in a sensational show. Performing songs from the early days like Massachusetts, To Love Somebody, Gotta Get A Message To You, and I Started A Joke. To their latest songs from the 'Still Waters' album from '97, like Closer Than Close, Still Waters and Alone. The brothers did not forget the disco craze, as they also performed Stayin' Alive, You Should Be Dancing, Tragedy, Night Fever and More Than A Woman.The Gibb brothers also did a great job performing hit songs they wrote and produced for other artist. Like Islands In The Stream (originally Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers), Our Love - Don't Throw It All Away (originally recorded by their brother Andy Gibb), Guilty (Barbra Streisand) and Grease (Frankie Vallie). They are even joined by Celine Dion to perform Immortallity, a song the brothers wrote for Celine.This concert really shows the unique gift these three brothers share. Not only their creativity, but also their talent to perform their songs live, almost perfectly.How Deep Is Your Love, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, Nights on Broadway, Jive Talking', Morning Of My Life, Lonely Days, One, and much more songs are part of the Gibb collection also taped on this show.It must have been a lifetime experience that one night only at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Thanks to this DVD, in one way we can all be a part of it.

They Stayed Alive

Bravo! To the Bee Gees for this performance. I am 15 years old and LOVE the Brothers Gibb. I sometimes get made fun of at school for liking them, but I don't care. Those other kids don't know what they are missing. Their harmony is spectacular. Barry strains somewhat to hit those old high notes. But who can really blame him. Besides that, he was going through a secret back pain injury that was almost unbearable and nearly left him paralyzed. Anyone who knows singing knows you have to stand up very straight to hit those high notes. Other than that he is flawless. Robin's voice is, as usual, amazing. His voice is creamy smooth in "I Started A Joke". Maurice is robbed of many shots in this concert, which is very sad because it was one of the last ones he did. His vocals are excellent as well. If you listen close, you can hear him sing some pretty high notes. This is a must see, must own, concert of anyone who loves, likes, or has even thought about liking the Bee Gees. It holds many sentimental values because in 2001, youngest brother Maurice, died. The two remaining Bee Gees decided to stop the group. It deserves more then 10 stars. So watch it! Or else!
