A great performance from Olivia and Barry Gibb for this Australian charity concert. Barry introduces Olivia to the stage with the words the greatest female singer in the world.

Just back in February Barry had been persuaded to come out of retirement to perform with Olivia at the charity Love and Hope Ball in Miami and so it wasn't difficult to persuade them to perform together again.

Olivia performs a lovely solo of I Honestly Love You. However, the highlights are the performances with Barry Gibb of Islands In The Stream, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart and Guilty. I love it when she sings it ought to be illegal during Guilty. She also joins in the chorus of You Should Be Dancing, rocking out on stage and adding the backing of What you doin' on your back.

They clearly love performing together and it's great to hear Olivia perform tracks not on her usual playlist.

There was also a charity four disc DVD of footage from the concerts released including Olivia's tracks.
