Stars: The Bee Gees

Summary: Live action from one of the most consistently successful bands in the world over the last thirty years. The tracklist contains previously unseen film footage of 'Islands In The Stream', 'Guilty', 'Heartbreaker' and 'Our Love'. Also a performance of 'Immortality' with Celine Dion.

The Bee Gees reunited in 1997 for a "One Night Only" concert at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, their only live concert in 1997 and first U.S. concert in nearly 10 years. Together they performed their greatest hits from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's, including many songs written for and made hits by other artists but never recorded by the Bee Gees themselves. Hold you breath for the special guest appearance by French-Canadian diva Celine Dion.

Taped as a lavish cable television special in 1997, One Night Onlytrades 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 1970s. One Night Onlythankfully takes an even-handed view of both their original late 1960s hits ("Massachusetts", "To Love Somebody", "Lonely Days"), building from a cannily Beatle-browed vocal sound, and the 1970s blue-eyed soul ("Jive Talkin'", "Nights on Broadway") that led them naturally into disco. The Feverhits 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
