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

I had forgotten all about the Bee Gees when I happened across the HBO Special and tuned in for a little while, I have waited 10 years to own this on DVD so I could, stop, FF, repeat, or just enjoy every minute of their show. And the DVD has extra songs not seen on the HBO show. I played my taped recording of this show so many times, my husband new the words to every song and what song was playing next. Now I watch it as I walk quickly on my treadmill but every other song or two I have to stop so I can hear every note and pretend I was at the MGM Grand that night. The Brothers Gibb can be watched with the sound off and the charm still comes thru loud and clear. Turn up the volume and you are young and "dancing, as you should be, Yah"
I definitely like this One Night Only Event, can you tell?

I was skeptical of buying this, as I thought I was "all knowing" about The Bee Gees, being a 70's & 80's music FANATIC! But, was I wrong! This is by far the best music purchase I have EVER made. I have watched it time and time again!

Bee Gees One Night Only DVD, absolutely fantastic, great oldies, great live performance by all brothers but very sad that Maurice is no longer with us. He was such a gregarious part of the group.
A must dvd for anyone who enjoys music from the past 30 years.
