Editorial Review:
A rapturous if occasionally frustrating experience, Bee Gees: Live by Request is the video release of a program that originally aired on cable television's A&E channel. While the brothers Gibb are more than happy to shake out a few numbers from their May 2001 album, This Is Where I Came In, the centerpiece of the show is a somewhat tiresome gimmick that finds the trio taking song requests via phone from excited fans who often chew up valuable time with rambling reminiscences. Still, the pop legends are able to lay out lush, highly polished versions of "I Started a Joke," "Jive Talkin'," and "How Deep Is Your Love," while short-changing other gems from the Bee Gees catalog in a throwaway medley. A visibly thrilled audience certainly enhances the fun, but this is really a show for the group's diehard (and most patient) fans. --Tom Keogh
Celebrating 35 years of hitmaking, the Bee Gees take the stage in New York City with host Mark McEwen taking the requests as Barry, Maurice and Robin play your favorite songs from the last four decades. From A&E's popular "Live By Request" music series, the brothers Gibb perform five new classics and over a dozen all-time favorites in this unique, intimate concert captured in glorious surround sound. Songs: This Is Where I Came In, She Keeps on Coming, Sacred Trust, Man in the Middle, Massachusetts, To Love Somebody, I Started a Joke, Jive Talkin', How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Gotta Get a Message To You, Acoustic Medley: New York Mining Disaster/Run to Me/Too Much Heaven/Islands in the Stream/Holiday/A Woman in Love/Guilty/Nights on Broadway, Wedding Day, Lonely Days, How Deep Is Your Love, You Should Be Dancin'.

Rating:  - bee gees fans enjoy
This is a fine performance by the Bee Gees who perform "by request", probably the most difficult format for live performers. They play most of their songs and most fans might complain about various hits that were omitted. Still an enjoyable performance.
Rating:  - Let the music play
This BeeGee DVD was originally recorded for a live TV broadcast. The Bee Gees perform great, but the flow and the build up that you usually experience during a concert, is CONTSTANTLY interrupted by a presenter who tends to turn eveything into a commercial TV spot. Questions like "what did you think when you had your first number one hit" brilliantly answered by Robin "Gee, our first number one hit".... Daft questions, ennoying interruptions, superficial presenting and constantly complimenting the ... Read More

Rating: - Magnificent live performances
Alright, I admit the "phone in" gimmick is corny and a distraction, but you can simply fast forward the calls. Buy this for the music, which is absolutely gorgeous. The Bee Gees have always given stellar live performances, replicating their original records as close as possible. Well, I have news: this live performance beats any I have heard, it's *that good.* The Bee Gees, like McCartney, have always taken great pains to sing their songs live as closely as possible to the original. I appreciate ... Read More
Rating: - EXCELLENT!
If you're a huge Bee Gees fan as I am, then you'll LOVE this DVD! It also brings about a new meaning since Maurice Gibb's death on January 12, 2003. Also, don't forget "One Night Only"! I've been a Bee Gees fan as long as I can remember, & these 2 DVDs are MUST HAVES for avid Bee Gees fans like myself :)
