Olivia co-hosts this with Wolfmann Jack to promote her Xanadu movie. Olivia opens the
show with Magic dressed in a nifty white shorts combination. Her costumes for this are
spectacular without being garish - pure class. This also features a rare performance with
The Tubes of Dancin'. This was specially filmed and this version isn't in the movie
Xanadu. Olivia plays all the three singers in the girl band which must have taken some
choreography.
Cliff Richard is there to lend support for Suddenly and also to try and break America
promoting his Wired For Sound album. There's lovely renditions of Suspended In Time
(Olivia sheds a tear or two) and a grown-up Don't Cry For Me Argentina. All the songs are
mimed. During the show Olivia is delighted to learn that Magic has reached the number one
slot!
Olivia's performance of Don't Cry For Me Argentina is available on the More 1980 Midnight Special DVD
