Olivia's Symphony tour providing a classy touch to Olivia's hits.

Olivia performed Dancin' from Xanadu, a full version with her guitarist doing the Tubes part, this was the first time Olivia had performed the song live in concert. Olivia included a tribute song in memory of the Sept 11 2001 victims and their families, a beautiful version of a song by Beth Nielson Chapman - Sand and Water. Also included was a new version of Physical - a slower, jazzy version utilising the Symphony orchestra to the full.
