She performed a set of her greatest hits spanning the last two and a half decades - these were the songs -

ReviewOlivia Newton-John, Live at the Soaring Eagle Casino by Erin Conkle,
photos from Michigan Kim Bieszczak |
 I enjoyed the Olivia Newton-John concert in Mt. Pleasant,
MI at the Soaring Eagle Casino very much!! The were no words to express how I felt when
she came out of the left side of the stage. It was a great concert, she sang some new
stuff from her latest album, (Back With a Heart, and she really was!!) and she played some
awesome classics. Her opening number was "Magic," from Xanadu, it was
fantastic. Her voice hasn't changed at all! The second number was the title song from
Xanadu, and let me tell you, she still looks the same since the first time I saw that
movie. |

The
venue looked sold out to me! The only one complaint that I had of the audience was I
wished they got into it a little more, don't get me wrong they were clapping and
everything, but who can't resist standing up and dancing during "Physical!" Some
of the songs she performed were: the new version of "I Honestly Love You,"
"Sam," "Jolene," "You're the One that I Want,"
"Hopelessly Devoted to You," "Precious Love," "Have you Never
Been Mellow." The audience really went crazy when she came out in, not tight, but
snug red dress and put a leather coat on (ala GREASE) and sang two songs from that. The
audience was so aged mixed, you could tell that she was still attraching new generations
of fans. From older folks to young kids, six and seven years old. There was a slight
intermission of sorts, one of her back up singers (Lisa Edwards) took over and sang
"Love The One You're With" while Olivia changed her costume. She had three
different outfits the whole night. I only had one little complaint about the song choices-
I wish she would have sang such 80's classic pop tunes like "Heart Attack," and
my personal favorite "Make a Move on Me." So for anyone who is even a slight ONJ
fan try to get out and see her at least once!!!
