In 1975, in the midst of their second major period of stardom but before Saturday Night Fever would drive them to their greatest popularity the Bee Gees appeared on the Chicago based series Soundstage, performing a large selection of the repertory from the late 1960's thru the mid 1970's, up through "Jive Talkin'". The result is sort of the video equivalent of Here At Last, their mid 1970's live double album. The anonymous bootleggers who have put this out used a video master that was a generation or two off from what it ideally would be, resulting in a slightly fuzzy image at times, but the sound is impeccable. It's all essential viewing for serious fans of the group, capturing them in superb voice throughout and also doing more than alright on their instruments as well. Yvonne Elliman is the featured guest, but she never really has a chance to shine amid the three Gibb brothers voices.
