Live is the first live album by the Bee Gees. It was recorded on December 20, 1976 at the LA Forum and was released in May 1977 by RSO Records. It reached No. 8 in the US, No. 8 in Australia, No. 1 in New Zealand, and No. 2 in Spain.Background[edit]Here at Last was the first official live recording released by the Bee Gees though many bootlegs have existed throughout the years of earlier performances. The concert was filmed and a TV special was planned, but after reviewing the footage of the Bee Gees were unhappy with the quality of the video so it has not been released. A single from the concert "Edge of the Universe" was released in Canada and the US where it hit No. 16 and No. 26 respectively on the singles charts. A promo single with "Lonely Days" live was released in the US, but did not chart.The album was recorded at the LA Forum on December 20, 1976 and Barry Gibb can be heard wishing the audience a Merry Christmas at the end.The content of the show consisted chiefly of songs that had been hit singles plus songs from the recent hit albums Main Course and Children of the World. There was also a rendition of "Down the Road" from the more obscure 1974 album Mr. Natural.The album was originally released as a 2 part LP record and was later released as a 2-disc CD in 1990.Track listing[edit]All compositions by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb except where notedLP 1Side one"I've Gotta Get a Message to You" – 4:02"Love So Right" – 4:47"Edge of the Universe" (Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb) – 5:15"Come on Over" (Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb) – 3:25"Can't Keep a Good Man Down" – 4:47Side two"New York Mining Disaster 1941" (Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb) – 2:16Medley ("Run to Me" / "World") – 2:33Medley ("Holiday" / "I Can't See Nobody" / "I Started a Joke" / "Massachusetts") – 7:14"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" (Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb) – 3:45"To Love Somebody" (Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb) – 4:08LP 2Side one"You Should Be Dancing" – 9:22"Boogie Child" – 5:02"Down the Road" (Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb) – 4:32"Words" – 4:19Side two"Wind of Change" (Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb) – 4:42"Nights on Broadway" – 4:41"Jive Talkin'" – 5:03"Lonely Days" – 4:12Personnel[edit]Bee GeesBarry Gibb – lead, harmony, and backing vocals; rhythm guitarRobin Gibb – lead, harmony, and backing vocalsMaurice Gibb – harmony and backing vocals, bass guitarBacking bandBlue Weaver – keyboards, synthesiserAlan Kendall – lead guitarDennis Bryon – drumsAdditional musiciansGeoff Westley – keyboardsJoey Murcia – rhythm guitarJoe Lala – percussionThe Boneroo HornsPeter GravesWhit SidenerKen FaulkPeter BallinJeff KievitStan WebbCharts[edit]Weekly charts[edit]Chart (1977–78)Peak positionAustralian Albums (Kent Music Report)[3]8Canada Top Albums/CDs (RPM)[4]5Dutch Albums (Album Top 100)[5]45German Albums (Offizielle Top 100)[6]44New Zealand Albums (RMNZ)[7]1US Billboard 200[8]8US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (Billboard)[9]25Year-end charts[edit]Chart (1977)PositionCanada Top Albums/CDs (RPM)[10]43New Zealand Albums (RMNZ)[11]5Chart (1978)PositionNew Zealand Albums (RMNZ)[12]25Certifications[edit]RegionCertificationCertified units/salesUnited States (RIAA)[13]Platinum1,000,000^^ Shipments figures based on certification alone.References[edit]^ Eder, Bruce.
