Product Description
From Amazon.com
Taped as a lavish cable television special in 1997, One Night Only trades on the Bee Gees' shape-shifting career as pop survivors. Over the course of 111 minutes, this straightforward concert, produced at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and groomed for both video and CD posterity, sprints through 31 songs from their past three decades. Even after the inevitable disco jokes are expended, and the jaundiced viewer contemplates the role hats, hairspray, and comb-overs now play in dressing the once stylishly long-haired troika, the Gibb brothers' signature vocal harmonies and hook-laden song craft beg respect.
Casual listeners can't be blamed for equating the Bee Gees with the dance floor bonanza they reaped through 1978's Saturday Night Fever, yet that commercial zenith was actually the culmination of a comeback for a group that had seemed washed up by the early '70s. One Night Only thankfully takes an even-handed view of both their original late '60s hits ("Massachusetts," "To Love Somebody," "Lonely Days"), building from a cannily Beatle-browed vocal sound, and the '70s blue-eyed soul ("Jive Talkin'," "Nights on Broadway") that led them naturally into disco. The Fever hits are here, as are Gibb originals that clicked for other acts; the family circle also widens for a posthumous duet with their late brother, Andy Gibb, while Celine Dion gets star billing in the collaborative "Immortality." --Sam Sutherland

An EASY 5 stars for this!,
By
This review is from: Bee Gees One Night Only (DVD)
This live event captures at the MGM is absolutely flawless. The sound and picture is the best that one could expect. Although I skipped through the disco numbers, there was all a ton of top quality production left for me to enjoy. The introduction of the graceful "Celine Dione" who does an incredible job with this trio is a bonus to this piece of GENUINE GOLD. The crying vibrato voice that only Robin Gibb can claim fame to is exquisetly stunning in "Massachussets" and "I started a joke". The tribute to Andy is also comforting. This is a DVD that everyone should have regardless of taste. We, that have been alive during the last 20-50 years have witnessed the finest music that this planet has ever delivered. This DVD is a prime example. Buy it........you will not be sorry.

This review is from: Bee Gees: One Night Only (DVD)
It was great seeing this trio performing on stage again and the sound was very good quality. They played a wonderful mix of their songs, old and new up to the time of this concert. I would highly recommend this DVD to any BeeGees fan and now that Maurice is gone it is a great memorial to have and play.
