Recorded at the Weber State University, Ogden, Utah, USA on 12th 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.
This concert is stunning, a must for all fans. Olivia sparkles her way through the set with great costumes (four 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 video with the inclusion a couple of extra tracks not shown on the TV version
Watch out for - Olivia's Nashville accent. Olivia's face when she realizes that her backing singers aren't doing the Physical exercises!
Cringy moment - the backing singers singing and "dancing" to a chorus of YTOTIW
Gimmick - the slow motion sequences as Olivia spins to A Little More Love.
John Travolta made a guest appearance at one of Olivia's California concerts (this does not appear on the TV special/video).
