On December 31, 1999, the legendary Bee Gees brothers — Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb — lit up Sunrise, Miami, Florida, with a spectacular concert to celebrate the dawn of the Millennium New Year. This once-in-a-lifetime event marked an electrifying moment as the world eagerly awaited the arrival of the year 2000.
Invited to grace the stage on this historic night, the Bee Gees delivered an unforgettable performance titled BG2K: An Evening With the Bee Gees. The atmosphere was charged with excitement and anticipation, drawing in countless fans who relished the opportunity to welcome the new millennium with such iconic music legends.
Clips from this sensational show were broadcast on American television, yet astonishingly, recordings of this very broadcast have become a rarity over time, making surviving footage a treasured glimpse into a night when history was made through song and celebration.
The event was not just a concert — it was a moment frozen in time, a vivid flashback to the magic of the Bee Gees and their unparalleled ability to unite crowds and create memories that transcend generations. As a reflection of the vibrant spirit that ushered in the year 2000, this concert remains an emblem of joy, nostalgia, and the enduring legend of the Gibb brothers.
In the words of an attendee, “It felt like the world stood still for a moment, wrapped in the music and fireworks that only the Bee Gees could deliver.” Indeed, the night in Miami remains etched in the hearts of those who witnessed it — a true testament to the remarkable legacy of Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb.

However, dedicated Bee Gees fans have successfully found a few clips of the event which were broadcast on American TV on New Year’s Eve – and these fans have posted them online.
One recording (above) of the evening’s concert from PBS’ coverage of the night shows Barry and his brothers performing their hit single ‘You Should Be Dancing’ to a delighted crowd ahead of a performance of ‘Alone’.
In the comments of the YouTube post which features the rare footage of the band’s New Year’s concert, one lucky fan reminisced about how they were present in Miami for the special show.
“Any time I see anything from this night, I just go speechless with gratitude,” the fan penned.
“I can proudly say, I was THERE to see all three! Would not have traded that night for anything! Love these guys!!”
The Bee Gees were working on a new album at their Middle Ear Studios in South Beach, Miami, at the end of 1999, leading to their Millennium performance in the famous coastal city.
This album was originally scheduled for release in February 2000, but later came to be 2001’s This Is Where I Came In.
1999 was still a big year for the Bee Gees though, as they performed their final One Night Only show in Sydney in that year.
Originally (as the name suggests) intended to be a one-night only event, after a hugely successful show at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand on November 14, 1997, the Bee Gees eventually took this concert (recordings of which they also released as a live album) on a worldwide tour.
Starting in Dublin in August 1998, the ‘Night Fever’ singers later visited London, Buenos Aires, and Pretoria, and in 1999 the trio brought the show to Auckland, before finishing the tour in Sydney on March 27.
