The Bee Gees’ performance of “Alone” during their One Night Only concert in Las Vegas in 1997 stands as one of the most powerful live moments in their later career. Originally released in 1997 on the album Still Waters, “Alone” became one of the group’s last major international hits, reaching the Top 10 in several countries and reminding the world of the Bee Gees’ enduring brilliance.
The live rendition in Las Vegas captured the brothers at a nostalgic and emotional point in their journey. Barry Gibb’s commanding lead vocals, supported by Robin and Maurice’s signature harmonies, gave the performance a haunting depth. The song’s lyrics, centered around themes of love, loneliness, and longing, resonated deeply with the audience, who responded with overwhelming emotion.
The One Night Only concert, later released as a live album and DVD, became a treasured piece of Bee Gees history, showcasing not only their greatest hits but also the timeless power of songs like “Alone.”
