@loopdis I'm not sure what your point was with that comment. The point I was making is that many of today's current "artists" don't make the same quality music. I do live in the now, thank you AND I know how to compare.
@dethiphoptv - Incorrect. This was back when artists actually knew their craft. Olivia is one of the absolute best singers in history. She's so good live you'd swear nobody could be that perfect with pitch and tone, but she is.
I don't think there is another voice like Olivia's. She is the Elvis of the female singers.Oh, there are others who are awesome. But there is something about Olivia.
wow, she's kinda Elvis/Tom Jones , but very feminine and sexy at the same time .....god I love her , and have since I was 13yrs old! I love her delicate but emotive voice!! Powerful!!
That bad-a** band was the Tom Scott band, phenomenal jazz sax player best known for his work with the L.A.Express. It was an all star band Tom put together for Olivia's US tour. By the way...Tom also did all the riffs you hear Lisa play on sax on the Simpsons.
Ok. This sounds corny as HELL [and I'm a 48 yr old man], but everything about this woman gives me goose bumps! She is COMPLETELY appealing as a woman, as an entertainer...SIGH!
At 6 years old, I *needed* to see this concert every time it played on HBO. Then, in 1990 I found the video and have it to this day. It's a sensational concert :)
@jwharcup76 every time you mention other artists names you make them more popular.. maybe that is really your intention.. Some more advice, try living in the "NOW"
My mom took me to this concert when I was 3. I remember not understanding the concept of assigned seating, and we argued about why we couldn't sit closer to the stage. And yeah, I watched it obsessively on HBO later, and still have the vhs. A few years ago a random dude at my house saw the vhs tape on the shelf. He freaked out and said "I was at this concert, I am IN THIS VIDEO, I've never seen anyone who has it."
@m1lkm4n Have been looking for that video for 25 yrs. would love to have a copy of it. I also watched it numerous times on HBO. When she sang Sam, I fell in love with her voice. larryoblack@yahoo.com
Is from Xanadu the musical film. Is a great intro for any occasion. Great music, cool effects. With all the high tech stuff we got now, there are very few that are as talented like her around.
you gotta love livvy a total schoolboy masturbatory extravaganza.and what a brilliant band landau,vega,popswell and feiten.class.livvy is soooooooo!! hot!!
What a great song what a beautiful voice what a beautiful woman...She gets all the things U need to get to be a super classic star...never oldie but always goldie..
Magnificent. One reason she and her ilk are so superior (mostly) to the bimbos today is that they weren't burning themselves out on dope and booze, publicly humiliating themselves (deliberately), and were just better people, especially her.
"From where I stand, you are home free, the planets align so rare, there's promise in the air, and I'm guiding you". Very difficult to find a line such as this in anyone of today's songs. Minds back then semmed much more deeper.
@OfficialRobbieMason that was going to be my comment . . . she is the only woman that ever rocked that haircut. Every other woman who tried it after Olivia just looked ridiculous.
Ahaha, that was the style. I was kind of giggling at those boots, but then again I was wearing leg warmers with socks and sandals that year, so I am no one to judge. :)
Thanks. Its amazing as a Guy to see her and find her totally alluring and sensual. And she is not revealing too much. Just beauty and charisma. She could sure work it. Nice memories. I'm actually more appreciative 30 + years later. You can see why she was so HUGE.
It's a real pleasure seeing this again after so many years. I have some of her live performances on the Video Gold DVD's, but I hadn't seen this one since it first aired on HBO in 1983. Many thanks, JavierL2.
good Lord! ds s top-notch band led by d great sax player tom scott! guitarist michael landau, drummer carlos vega, bassist pops P...top-notch back-up vocals..led by no othr than former buckimham vocalist, dennis tufano!!!!
Pops Popwell - formerly of The Crusaders. I brought my daughter to see her on this same tour in Baton Rouge, LA. I was not really expecting much - but I was really impressed with her vocals and with her band, which was led by Sax player Tom Scott, with Carlos Vega on drums, and Michael Landau on guitar.
This is ALL Live. Listen to it. Just top brass recording and sound at the time. If you LISTEN you can hear her every nuance. Much different then ANY recording. She was in top form here.
I was at this concert back in 1982 at the Dee Event Center in Ogden Utah. I was 12 back then and had 1st row seats, it was a great concert I wish i could get a copy of the concert, it brings back great memories.
This song is second to none when it comes to conjuring a magical and romantic atmosphere... the live version's intro really plays up the mystical allure of the song to unprecedented heights.
Amazing yes! but Gods Best might be Darlene Zschech who shares an uncanny vocal resemblance and heritage and sings for HIM with HIllsong. I did love me some OLIVIA..... sweet
