Olivia live

Recorded at the Weber State University, Ogden, Utah on 12 and 13th October 1982, this aired on around the world. It's ironic that Utah was the place where a couple of radio stations banned the single Physical for its suggestive lyrics.

What can be added about this concert that hasn't been said already? It's stunning, a must for all fans. Olivia sparkles her way through the set with great costumes (4 in all) and lavish sets. The concert begins with a montage of photos and press cuttings taking the viewer through Olivia's career. Then Olivia bounds onto stage in a little black number to the strains of Deeper than The Night and it just gets better from there on. Particular praise for Olivia's rocky rendition of Silvery Rain and the sincerity of I Honestly Love You.

It was also released on home VHS video with the inclusion a couple of extra tracks not shown on the TV version. It was at last released on DVD in 2021 as part of the 40th anniversary Physical Deluxe release
