On November 14, 1997, the Bee Gees delivered a mesmerizing performance at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, marking their only U.S. concert in nearly a decade. Centered around their “One Night Only” special, the show featured a career-spanning setlist, highlighted by an unforgettable rendition of “More Than a Woman”.
The brothers—Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb—donned tailored suits and instantly commanded the stage with tight harmonies and heartfelt delivery. The live version of “More Than a Woman,” featured on both the CD and DVD of One Night Only, captured the song’s romantic essence with lush arrangements and glowing audience applause.
The concert showcased over 30 songs from their extensive career: early hits like “Massachusetts” and “To Love Somebody”; 1970s ballads including “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart”; disco-era anthems such as “Night Fever,” “Stayin’ Alive,” and the iconic medley “Night Fever/More Than a Woman”; and later gems like “Alone” and “Still Waters (Run Deep)”—the latter supporting their then-new album Still Waters .
This landmark Vegas show wasn’t just a nostalgic trip—it was meant to be their final live outing due to Barry’s health struggles. However, buoyed by overwhelming fan response, the Bee Gees launched the One Night Only world tour in 1998 and 1999.
Critics and fans alike praised the concert’s emotional resonance. A review on IMDb rated it a perfect 10, noting the Gibb brothers were “as powerful as ever,” effortlessly weaving through decades of hits . Meanwhile, PBS relayed that fan favorite “More Than a Woman” formed a key moment in the show’s “entertaining set list”.
The One Night Only release achieved multi‑platinum success globally, topping charts in Australia and New Zealand, and reaching Top 5 in the UK and Europe . The DVD and later Blu‑ray reissue showcase the full scope of the performance, preserving the magic of that unforgettable Vegas night.
