The live recording of "Islands in the Stream" in Las Vegas on October 14, 1997, occurred during the height of the Bee Gees' resurgence in the late '90s, marking a significant moment in their career. This performance was part of the "One Night Only" concert, which was both a live album and concert film showcasing their extensive catalog. Prior to this, the Bee Gees released their album "Size Isn't Everything" in 1993, which included the hit "Paying the Price of Love." The "One Night Only" concert is notable not just for its production but also for being one of the band's last major performances together before Maurice Gibb's passing in 2003. The concert was celebrated for its nostalgic value, featuring classic hits that spanned decades, solidifying their legacy as one of the most iconic groups in music history.
