That movie murdered so many careers. Electric Light Orchestra, Michael "The Warriors" Beck and Olivia Newton-John, who took a long time to recover.

I'm going to see Olivia Newton John perform tomorrow night with Daryl Braithwaite and the Melbourne Pops Orchestra.

Please, post a review. I saw her and Barry Gibb a couple years ago and they both tore it up.

Of course I will! Horrie Hastings sent me a link to obtain preferred seating for the Regent Theatre here in Melbourne, so I have him to thank. He is seeing her at the Sydney Opera House.

Olivia was truly amazing! I still have goosebumps. My niece and I sat quite a way back upstairs on the balcony but the acoustics at the Regent are very good. She still looks like she is in her 30's from where I was sitting! She sang lots of her old ballads, a country and western set which included my favourite "Banks of the Ohio" which would probably be banned from the airwaves these days if you listen to the lyrics closely! Then she did "Magic", "Xanadu" and started singing "Physical" as an acoustic ballad, got up from her stool and said this isn't how it is supposed to be sung and then did a much raunchier version. She also mentioned that it's been 40 years since she first had her big break and was happy to be home in Melbourne. It's also been 20 years exactly since her cancer treatment and said how she was at her farm in Byron recovering, thinking she would never perform again, but the lyrics to songs just kept flowing to her so she kept writing (thank goodness for us!). She also included a Grease Medley with her American band members and was also backed by the Melbourne Pops Orchestra. Also performed were Please Mr Please, Send in the Clowns, Have You Never Been Mellow, Sam, I Honestly Love You & Hopelessly Devoted to You. I must say that megamix for the new movie is truly appalling! Livvie should never have to sing the likes of Mickey! Daryl Braithwaite was support act and he was in fine voice too. He was very funny when he asked how many Collingwood fans were in the audience and lots of booing ensued. My niece said to me that is how to divide a crowd in Melbourne! I said, "Oh, are they like Souffs then?!" Am very exhausted today as I normally don't go out in the evenings on a Monday. Oh dear...

Thanks for the review redwhiteblue, i am so looking forward to Friday night at the Opera House.I 'm surprised she did a mega mix from A Few Best Men though,i bought the CD and while not appalled by it i wasn't impressed by it either,the original new song Weightless is fabulous but it falls away after it,she does ok versions of The Rain The Park and Other Things and Two Out Of Three Aint Bad but some of the other songs are terrible the way they remixed,although i'm starting to like Brand New Key and Devil Gate Drive now.I just wish she would sing Anyone Who Had A Heart with the great backing orchestras she had/has with this tour,her version on Indigo is just brilliant and so much better than the original.So glad you enjoyed seeing her,she is such a beautiful person.

OMG,Olivia was amazing,i still have goosebumps after seeing her show at the Opera House,totally amazing,she looked just beautiful and i have never heard her voice in better form.Every song she did was great but her version of Send In The Clowns had me in tears,it was just perfect.Her country section was great,If Not For You sounded pretty good after all these years,the Xanadu set was great ditto Grease in which she did Your The One That I Want with David Campbell but the one that surprised was The few Best Men set,i had reservations about after redwhiteblues report but it was fantastic,she did all the songs so much better than the horrible remixes on the CD soundtrack,she dedicated the set to Davy Jones as Day Dream Believer was part of the set then she did the full version of the new song Weightless which is fast becoming my favourite Olivia song.I cannot get over how fantastic she was,by far the best concert i have ever seen.

Real nice review man. I'm glad she kicked it.
