Here at Last... Bee Gees... Live is the first live album by the Bee Gees. It was recorded on December 20, 1976 at the LA Forum and was released in May 1977 by RSO Records. It reached No. 8 in the US, No. 8 in Australia, No. 1 in New Zealand, and No. 2 in Spain.

Background

Here at Last was the first official live recording released by the Bee Gees though many bootlegs have existed throughout the years of earlier performances. The concert was filmed and a TV special was planned, but after reviewing the footage of the Bee Gees were unhappy with the quality of the video so it has not been released. A single from the concert "Edge of the Universe" was released in Canada and the US where it hit No. 16 and No. 26 respectively on the singles charts. A promo single with "Lonely Days" live was released in the US, but did not chart. The album was recorded at the LA Forum on December 20, 1976 and Barry Gibb can be heard wishing the audience a Merry Christmas at the end. The content of the show consisted chiefly of songs that had been hit singles plus songs from the recent hit albums Main Course and Children of the World. There was also a rendition of "Down the Road" from the more obscure 1974 album Mr. Natural. The album was originally released as a 2 part LP record and was later released as a 2-disc CD in 1990.
