A Must-have!

I had just seen the Bee Gees in concert on their Spirits Having Flown tour in 1979 when I first heard this album. At the show, the thing that struck me most were the sweet harmonies. I haven't heard anything that sweet before or since. When I heard this ablum I was so glad there was a recording that captured their harmonies sweet and live. From the ending chord change on Massachusetts to Love So Right, Nights on Broadway, this is truly the Bee Gees at their best. No Bee Gees fan should be without this record, and even if you don't like them all that much, if you like music at all you should still check this out.

Awsome

I have been looking for this CD forever! I had the original album, but I wore it out by playing it all of the time when I first purchased it in the 70s. This is the best live performance on Album/CD that I have ever heard.

Thank you AMAZON!

Live from Los Angeles,it's the Brothers Gibb

Following the release of CHILDREN OF THE WORLD,the Bee Gees went on tour and recorded this album at the Forum in Los Angeles on December 20,1976. MAIN COURSE,COTW's predecessor was still a hot-selling album. This was the era of disco and those two albums are "jive-talkers". The songs from MC and COTW sound very much the same on this album except the tempo is a bit faster. They also deliver a variety of their Atco Records tunes(those originally recorded on that label) such as NEW YORK MINING DISASTER 1941,LONELY DAYS,HOW CAN YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART,TO LOVE SOMEBODY and a medley of others. Joining the band is their employed brass ensemble The Boneroo Horns who had worked on COTW. The brass band should have worked on this album's 1997 sequel ONE NIGHT ONLY. Many songs on this album also appeard on ONO. After this album,the Bee Gees would jumpstart their now-deceased brother Andy Gibb's short,but memorable career. Because this album was recorded on 12/20,the band wished their audience a Merry Christmas. A must for all Bee Gees fans.
