I never got to see the originals, but these guys DO AN AMAZING JOB!
My only complaint is I kept thinking of the group Human Nature during the show. I am a theater person. I like concerts that excite you right out of the gate. there was no WOW... no "build up" at the opening. They just kind of walked out on stage and started playing. Literally.
I was wishing the entire time I could have re-DIRECTED the opening to build them up more. Human Nature pumps the crowd up thru a series of videos and lets us know how they got their start, how they met, etc. The ABG "introduction" was very monotone and non energetic and some of the videos that played in the background during their songs got to be distracting and were strangely generic like what used to play in the background at Karaoke bars in the 1980's.
But had I been in a time capsule and dropped in this showroom and had I not known two Brothers Gibb members have since passed away i would have thought IT WAS REALLY THE BEE GEES!
Were the tables close together? I didn't notice, we sat in a booth. I was able to get comp. tickets being an MGM employee but if i had to pay I would not have been disappointed. A solid 4 stars
