A lively performance of Long Live Love on Top of The Pops just before Olivia is to perform the song at the Eurovision Song Contest. It's currently at number 18 in the UK charts and will peak at number 11 two weeks later.
This is taken from a VCR tape as the original is said to have been wiped by the BBC and would have been originally broadcast in colour.
At the end of the show Olivia joins the host Dave Lee Travis as he wishes her good luck at the Eurovision Song Contest. In typical 70s style, he asks her for a kiss on the cheek. Olivia jokes that she has to fight her way through the undergrowth (his beard). The show ends with Olivia and Dave dancing, along with the studio audience, to Listen To The Music by the Doobie Brothers.
Olivia also performed Long Live Love in the Top Of The Pops' studio on the 7th March 1974 show (this show has also been wiped).
