Olivia Newton-John - Olivia in Concert, Weber State University, Ogden, UT, 10-13-1982

Over the past week or two, I've posted all the Olivia Newton-John albums I have worthy posting. This if the fifth album I'm posting from her, and the last. (Unless I find things I'd previously missed, of course.) In my opinion, this is the ideal live album of her in her musical prime. So if you had to get just one of the five albums from her I've posted, I'd suggest this one.

Newton-John became a superstar in 1978, thanks to her lead role in the movie "Grease." But in 1981 she took her superstardom to an even higher level, mostly thanks to the title song of her 1981 album, "Physical." That song spent 10 weeks at Number One in the U.S., tying the record for the longest, and was the best-selling song of the 1980s. 

However, it turned out that her early 1980s peak didn't last that long. She had a few more big hits through 1983 (like "Make a Move on Me," "Heart Attack," and "Twist of Fate"), but only minor hits after that. I suspect some of that commercial decline was that she essentially stopped touring for many years. She did a big tour in 1982 to promote the "Physical" album. But after that, she didn't tour again until 1998! (She started a tour in 1992, but quickly canceled it after she was diagnosed with cancer, and had to seek treatment.) She has put out four live albums, but all of them date from after her resumption of touring in 1998, long after her commercial peak. 

She did document her 1982, but only on video format. This concert was released as the video "Olivia in Concert." I simply took that video and converted it to audio, then chopped it into mp3s. I also cut out a video presentation of the highlights of her career at the start of the video, since one has to see that to appreciate it. The sound quality is excellent, with no problems. 

In this concert, Newton-John played just about all her biggest hits, from the early 1970s until "Heart Attack," which had been released earlier in 1982. So this also doubles as an effective "best of" collection.  

This album is an hour and 13 minutes long.

The cover photo is from this exact concert, I think. It's from promotional material for the DVD of it, at least.
