DVD Review: So~so on the tech side but great conttent.
Summary: 4 Stars
As others have noted there are several sound settings. If you find the one that works best on your equipment the sound is quite good.
The video quality is at best fair. The color balance is off on the transfere and a pink dress becomes red... a lot of things end up red. But it is more than watchable if you enjoy seeing Olivia Newton-John's live performances.
If you have both disks of the ONJ Video Gold set then you already have 6 or 7 of these songs. And I mean not just the same songs but the same performances. If you have seen the Video Gold version you will not be able to watch those songs from this DVD because the color is just so much better on VG. But this DVD contains all 18 songs from the concert and on the ones you haven't seen the better transfere of you will enjoy to the max. At least I did... I do. I watch them every now and again. But for the duplicated songs I can only watch the VG version.
If you enjoy watching ONJ's energetic live performances from her prime this DVD is a must. But if you are only a casual fan you may find the video quality and especially the color balance very distracting. For the casual fan I would suggest you may do better with a audio CD or the Video Gold DVDs. I have all of the above and wouldn't have it any other way. :)
Oh... also as noted by others the version of "You're The One I Want" from this concert just doesn't work and I don't care if we are talking this DVD or VG. For that song watch the movie "Grease" or do without. But that still leaves 17 other great songs.
DVD Review: MCA Blows Yet Another Opportunity
Summary: 5 Stars
MCA owns the master recording to this concert. Attention Olivia Newton John fans all over the world, IF you want to see this concert released properly and fully WRITE LETTER TO MCA Records. They most likely have the master tape just sitting in a vault here in Hollwood collecting dust. WRITE WRITE and get them to go into the vault and release this concert on DVD. You Owe it to Olivia to do it. MCA the time is NOW!DVD Review: Heart Attack!!!

Here's my review: short and simple. A DVD should have superb sound and video quality, this DVD has good sound and video quality. The scrapbook montage is deleted from the intro, which was present on the VHS version. For those of us who went to this tour, that's how the concert started. When you hit play, it abruptly starts with Olivia bursting out of the curtains. It was poorly done, and should have stayed as the original VHS version was. One should not have to go to the special features section to see this. Hopefully another video company will release this video the way it should have been, with true special features. At the very least, a discography section. This lazily made video almost gave me a heart attack!!DVD Review: Great DVD, with small problem....
Summary: 4 Stars
As a huge Olivia fan, I was thrilled to find this available on DVD. My VHS copy never survived. As the disk menu started up, I heard great sound and saw great picture quality. But when I hit play, no more sound. I was freaking out. Couldn't imagine why the sound worked so well for the menu and speacial feature, but not the actual convert.
Then, I changed the audio in te set-up page to DOLBY 5.1 instead of DTS sound, and like magic, it worked fine. However, That's where the accustic sound is slightly dated and not as crisp as we might be use to. Oh, how I wish the DTS sound was working.
Picture is fine and acceptable, sound is ok. overall, I'm still very happy to have this in my collection, it is a rare find and worth the price I paid.
For those who think the dvd left out the original opening, it's located in the special featues. It's the montage of photos with an overture of her music.
Compair THIS concert from 1982 to her new concert dvd, the Live from Sydney Australia, and it's great to see how she has changed, but never lost her style of high class. She is one INCREDIBLE performer.
DVD Review: Great Live Performance
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm so glad to have found this DVD of Olivia live in concert. If you like her early stuff then this DVD is for you. Performing Magic, Jolene, Make a Move on Me, Xanadu and hits from Grease. It skipped here and there, but still am completely satisifed with this purchase. FYI - In the case that you think you have no sound like I thought when I first put it in, I had to go into features and make some audio changes.
