Recorded in April 2001 at the Manhattan Centre in New York for an American cable television series The Bees Gees--Live by Request is a live anthology of the group's four decades of hits. The show allows fans at home and in the theatre to interact with their favourite stars and request favourite songs (a cross between ITV's An Audience with... and MTV's Unplugged). A great visual companion to their audio best of collection The Record, the release contains live performances of favourites along with less familiar tracks from their 25th album This Is Where I Came In. The acoustic medley of some of their best-loved compositions (including "Islands in the Stream" and "Woman in Love") is by far the high-point of the show. The release would have benefited though if the request/presenter sections of the show had been edited out. These segments lack any spontaneity, are heavily scripted and are particularly wooden, although the Gibbs' conversation with cranky fan Donna from Boulder is highly entertaining.On The DVD:Severely lacking in extras (the original programme trailer is the only added feature) the DVD is redeemed by the excellent audio recordings and stunning opening animation. The show can be played in Dolby 2.0 and 5.1, or in DTS format. Individual concert tracks can also be rapidly by accessed from the sub-menu. Due to the NTSC recording the picture quality is at times compromised, and is only available in standard picture format. --John Galilee

There have been many durable family groups in popular music over the years, but it'd be hard to name one that has lasted longer and succeeded as consistently as the trio featured in This Is Where I Came In. The Bee Gees, Barry Gibb and his younger twin brothers, Robin and Maurice, were making TV and radio appearances in Australia as early as 1960 before returning to their native England and joining the Beatles-led British invasion of America. And they're still at it more than 40 years later. All of that is duly chronicled in this two-hour documentary (produced in 2000), along with a great deal more: the personal problems that led to a break-up in the early-1970s; the unparalleled success of the Saturday Night Fever era; their occasional missteps and failures (eg: the abominable Sgt. Pepper film); the rise and tragic fall of brother Andy; the respect their success finally earned them in the 90s; and so on. The format is pretty standard, as interviews, photos, home movies and concert footage all contribute to a straight chronological telling of the Bee Gees' tale. But no stone is left unturned, and the Gibb Brothers (not to mention everyone else who's interviewed) have plenty to say. Best of all, there's lots of the Bee Gees' music, including a video of the title track of the 2001 album after which the film is named. In the end, we're left with the impression the Bee Gees would probably want us to have: that these guys have written, recorded, produced and performed literally hundreds of great songs. --Sam Graham, Amazon.com
