There is only one concert in the world better than this one by Olivia Newton-John-that is Diana Ross' 1979 concert from Ceasar's Palace. I have been looking for both for decades. I did not care what format the concerts were on--DVD,VHS, BETA, A TABLE CLOTH, A LONG ROLL OF TISSUE PAPER OR A NOVA BEHIND ORION. Olivia outperformed herself and surpassed all expectations. Her beautiful, pure voice has always been overloooked and under rated. She has always been one of my favorite perfomers. After watching this concert, new generations can truly appreciate a true star. The only way you will not like this concert is if you are trying to get a disablity check from the government. Great performances, no songs to fast forward, and a beautiful class act with a beautiful voice. Her performance was nominated for a grammy that year. It shall remain one of life's mysteries why she didn't win. There are others who have sold more records, filled more stadiums, covered more magazines, but few who deserves the praises as much as Olivia. This concert is only one reason.

I own this DVD it is a Japanese import special edition it has Both DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound, fantastic picture. It also includes a gallery with wonderful animated menus. I think that this was only released in Japan on DVD if you have bought other japanese imports then you know that they are usually high quality.So if you can get your hands on this gem do so. It is in NTSC format and will play on most american and other region 1 DVD players. I highly recommend this one.

This is one of the best concerts ever, but I think that is not an official DVD.

Thsi isn't an officical release (as per Olivia's management). It is good quality nevertheless, the sound quality is average.

I saw this concert by Laser Disc Format long time ago.
Olivia on her peak... Physical Tour.
Transfering from LD to DVD is quite alright.
Picture quality is same as LD, but sound is superb
by adapting DTS.
For the Fans of Olivia, this is the gift from heaven.
After watching Video Gold I, you will need some more, I'm sure.
And this dvd is it. You'll never get tired of Olivia's complete
Live on her glory days.

Olivia fans will definitely want to own this DVD, although sadly the "Music and Images" introduction seen on both the videocassette and HBO versions of this concert has been cut out. That was a fun part of the show that is definitely missed.
