Down The Road Live Performance by The Bee Gees at The L.A. Forum

Venue: The L.A. Forum Location: Los Angeles, CA, United States Date: May 20, 1977

Before the live recording at The L.A. Forum on December 20, 1976, the Bee Gees had just released their studio album "Mr. Natural" in 1974. This album marked a notable shift for the brothers, embracing a more soulful sound that contrasted with their earlier pop style. During that 1976 performance, they showcased tracks that would resonate with audiences, such as "Down The Road," which was included in their live album "Here At Last ... Bee Gees Live," released shortly after the concert on May 20, 1977. Interestingly, this period heralded a significant resurgence in their career, leading to the iconic disco era that followed. It's fascinating to think that a live recording would serve as a pivotal bridge, connecting their evolving musical journey to the groundbreaking success that awaited them just around the corner.
