North London 1978 - Ten years old, radio on full blast, dancing with my cousins in our grandparents' back garden. My 17 year old cousin had bunked off school to go and see Night Fever (18!) and came back loving the sound track. The well dressed men in a rough area in the video fits well with the Night Fever film theme.

The oldest and biggest music festival in the UK is Glastonbury. Every 3 day festival features, in a mid afternoon on Sunday slot, a set from a "Legend". A couple of years ago they had Barry, the only BeeGee still alive. The crowd was massive and so, so into it, the man was truly moved. It was a lovely thing to see. I'm not sure if it's available online but it's worth searching for, because it was a great set and it was gorgeous seeing how moved Barry was by the appreciation of the crowd. It was properly wholesome!

Wrong. The oldest music festival is Reading Festival which was originally called National Jazz and Blues Festival and which started in the 60's. Glastonbury didn't start until the first one in 1970. It is the biggest though you so are half right.

As for as I know it is the biggest selling sound-track in the world. "Saturday Night Fever" is the soundtrack album from the 1977 film of the same name and has since gone on to sell more than 40 million copies worldwide. In the U.S., the album was certified 16 x platinum and stayed at the top of the album charts for 24 weeks, and the billboard charts for 120 weeks. And, in the UK, the album spent 18 weeks at number 1.

The Bee Gee’s were great back then and into the 80’s, and for sure they’ll go down in history as one of the best groups ever. Thank you so much for your reaction to this great song.

Bee Gees is one of those groups where when I grew up I knew all of the lyrics because my parents had their records playing in the house when I was 6 and up. I assume they saw Saturday Night Fever in 77 and like many bought the soundtrack, which has a lot of the Bee Gees greats on there. I know a lot of songs from the 70s greats for the same reason...my parents spinning records and dancing throughout the house (Abba, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Diamond, Rod Stewart, etc.) Great review.

Thank you so much for this, they were brothers, & Barry is the last one, but please review more of their music, you will not be disappointed, & they span over years, & crossed many genres 😍 I also believe, that if there is music in Heaven, it would sound like the Bee Gee's ❤️❤️❤️

I was surprised when I watched the video for the first time and saw the day light. Due to his night vibe I always thought this video would be shown on a disco or on a street with neon lights and until today , although I like the video, I think it doesn't match with that night feeling. Some years later I saw the "Night Fever" video and thought that was the video that would match perfectly with Stayin Alive but probably the Bee Gees didn't want to repeat themselves and that's why one video is on day light and another on night life.

He performed with them a few times. 1st time I heard this song...I was 10yrs old watching John Travolta strutting to it in the beginning of the Movie "Saturday Night Fever" at the movie theater 😀

Ffrom Wikipedia: The music video for the song is of an entirely different concept from Saturday Night Fever. It was filmed on MGM Studios's backlot #2 in Culver City, California. The group was filming the movie, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the lot at the same time. The video featured Quality Street-a set that was used for such films as The Three Musketeers and Young Frankenstein-as well as the Grand Central Station set used in the films The Band Wagon and the opening of That's Entertainment! with Fred Astaire.[10] As the group walks past one of the railway cars in the video, the words "New York Central" can be seen printed on the side of the train above a passenger window. The MGM art directors added this bit of authenticity because the actual New York Central Railroad operated several lines from Grand Central Terminal in New York City during the 20th century until 1969
