The CD is edited, with some songs omitted, though the DVD version of the concert is complete. The album was reissued in 1999, and included a bonus CD with the missing songs. The CD and DVD cover features the band replicating their iconic Saturday Night Fever pose. The concert was re-released on SD Blu-ray by Eagle Rock Entertainment in 2013. The re-release provides superior audio quality than what is possible on DVD, but video is only marginally improved (the standard-definition video is now up-scaled to 1080i).
The Bee Gees performed songs from every decade from the 1960s to the '90s. They also sang a tribute song to their late brother Andy Gibb, "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away". During this song old footage of Andy is shown, including him singing the second verse of the song. The vocals from the original recording also play during that section. Cline Dion guest-starred on the Bee Gees-penned "Immortality". Recorded vocals by Frankie Valli are featured during "Grease", and are also taken from the original song.
The album's title was originally meant to reflect the band's plan that the Las Vegas concert would be their final live performance ever. Barry Gibb's arthritis in his back had worsened to the point where it seemed it would be impossible for him to continue playing. He nonetheless wanted to expand the tour, so they played several more shows, holding one every two weeks so that Barry would be able to recover from his injury.
Note: As the song "How Deep Is Your Love" finishes to sustained applause, Barry's daughter, Alexandra, appears on stage to present him and her uncle Robin with red roses. When she tries to give one to her other uncle, Maurice, "Stayin' Alive" starts to play, forcing her to exit.
Just watched what is probably a pretty old documentary on Sky about the Bee Gees. Really enjoyed looking back on their amazing story, and fantastic music. Lots of fascinating old footage. What great song writers and such harmonies. Sad that three of the brothers died so young.
Became a fan when I was still at school and they burst onto the scene with a song that went "Now I've Found That The World is Round" followed that up with some really great songs....disappeared into oblivion. Then reinvented themselves in the '70s with "Saturday Night Fever" a total departure from how they sounded in the late '60s.
Very talented, sadly only Barry is left now.
We're watching a Bee Gees concert on Sky Arts (The Bee Gees for One Night Only). Wow. I've always liked them but didn't realise how many great songs they'd written or what a lovely melodic voice Robin had.
I've always loved the Bee Gees and have many of their CD's. I remember seeing their story on TV a few months back and turning up the volume.
They duetted with many singers including Barbra Streisand and their music was performed as backing to a few films.
My cousin worked for them in his tour managing capacity.

The Two went on tour this past weekend and despite inept road-signs, several u-turns, a missing map-book and an embarrassing absence of modern phone-internet technology, we made it to Napier and back to Auckland in one piece. In the process Pam Corkery and I also had the most welcoming, humbling, human and enthralling backstage experience imaginable, all thanks to the Gibb family.
Yes, the Gibb family. The Gibb family who once numbered four brothers but now, only one. 66 is an unusually advanced age to be launching your first ever solo tour. Indeed, has their ever been another tour quite like the Barry Gibb Mythology tour? One where a singer/songwriter who has always been defined as a member of a group, the Bee Gees, sets out on his own in a triumphant and yet still emotional celebration of his deceased younger band-members/brothers?
Pam and I were the only two people backstage other than the 40+ tour / crew members and with Dick Ashby as a personal guide, we were treated to dinner, drinks and photos with the Gibb clan. But more than that, there were hugs, tears and laughter. Linda told me I was better looking in real life (stop it!) and Yvonne and Pam established a kind of sisterhood I knew only to observe than try to break in to. And all of this because I dared to support a band of brothers whose music had always meant the world to me.
With the Australian concerts plus the Mission Estate concert here in New Zealand having been attended by more than 80,000 people and being such a success, Barry is reportedly interested in carrying on touring in the States and possibly beyond. With arguably the best band behind him since the heady days of the Spirits Having Flown tour of 1979 and the endless possibilities of songs now Samantha and Stephen are now alongside him, it must be so healing for a man who has been through so much to know good days are ahead. I cannot wait.
I was front row at the Brisbane concert last Saturday night and have to agree that the emotion on the face of barry gibb spoke a thousand words. What a loyal "ordinary person" he appears to be and I can only imagine the thrill of meeting in person. Can you tell me is his backing band the same one that backed Robin in his Nz concert a few years ago I am sure the singers were. keep keeping us informed of the progress of this great entertainer and his family.
