Olivia Newton John - Magic (Live Concert 1982)

[@sulatlalaki]

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!

[@JENDALL714]

Look how much emotion she puts into her performance, no stupid choreography, just good vocals and all heart! This should be required viewing for today's pop stars on the right way to give a performance on stage!

[@ThokoXaba]

JENDALL714 What a performance..

[@JavierL2]

Estimados todos, Olivia Newton-John es la mejor cantante del mundo en toda la historia.

[@Paul19628]

In 2016... whew... I had cancer, sepsis, another stroke, sleep apnea, and a heart attack. I'm only 53 years old. Through each and every episode I sang this song to myself. Olivia has been my favourite since I was 15 years old. She has just the right words to pull you through.. Hafta believe we are magic. Just sing this song to yourself. YOU are the only you that you can depend on. Give it a go. Sing this song to yourself because you DO matter.

[@davidnorman4923]

She,s a beauty!Gorgeous voice!"The backing band are awesome ! Mike Landau Buzz Feiten guitar Robert popswell bass Carlos Vega drums Superb superb!

[@Philip8510]

She was the full package - country, pop, rock, adult contemporary. You name it!

[@SystemJammer]

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.

[@plenty2say]

I noticed the same thing. 80s music is lyrically more interesting. Maybe that's why so many of us still love these songs.

[@eduardot64]

Pure excellence. She indeed knew her craft. Nowadays, any ol' person can be a singer, thanks to technology. This is right here is talent!

[@ZATennisFan]

Anyone who disliked this needs to educate themselves on the definition of talent..

[@biceparmwrestler]

I saw this concert...she was phenomenal! Today's singer can't hold a stick to this. No overdubs here folks..Olivia could SING

[@Paul19628]

Even with Olivia being my favourite artist of all time, the words of this song TOTALLY pertain to me. I have been gay bashed and left for dead, I've lost jobs, I've had 2 strokes, HIV, diabetes, a heart attack and more. Ahhh…. who cares right? LOL!!! But THIS SONG, since way back in the 80's has pulled me through every journey. "HAFTA BELIEVE WE ARE MAGIC"!!! HERE I GO AGAIN!!! LOL!! It works every time. I'm a strong person. Use it for yourself. It's worth every effort!!!

[@AlexysB]

I can never get tired of watching this video or listening to this song. Love Olivia

[@kboyzrock]

Another great performance, I never tire of seeing or hearing her singing this song, one of the best, she rocks!

[@gmfd76]

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 :)

[@mushymunch28]

she was charming and lovely in a way that you couldnt help but fall in love with her. what a great woman! i was lucky enough to watch her live and ohh boy she sings like an angel! And she even looked like one.

[@jkoruty]

"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.

[@TRDMrBunker]

Born in '81 and still a fan. Love this song. 

[@roylikesitlikethat]

Soaring voice that pierces through the stratosphere, one listen and you are forever captivated. Beautiful singer with magical voice!

[@michpackfan]

Cool Intro

[@Paul19628]

Sang this song to myself to pull myself through my stroke when I was 30 and now again after a heart attack. Works every time.

[@DonVideoGuy007]

I had a huge crush on Olivia... I have never seen this clip and it is remarkable... no auto-tune or lip synching and she hit every note right on key. And Oh My ... I do not know who is on electric bass guitar but he is a superlative master of that instrument.

[@sylvia810]

Thank you for video. Mm

[@mattspalace]

ONJ was just jaw droppingly gorgeous. Back when I was a kid, she was it for me.

[@oliviafan1]

This has to be her best performance live of this great song!!!!!!!!!

[@heavymetalsoldier]

i like this. nothing over the top. just plain and simple

[@GoodMrDawes]

Awesome

[@Iceis_Phoenix]

I was singing this song last night and everyone said I sounded just like her.. what a awesome compliment she is a GODDESS!

[@samthecat07]

She's both an angel and a superstar!

[@panhead55]

haha, you are correct...and the music today still cant compete with these classic gems....long live analog!!

[@jeffrey322]

Great vocals, consistently ... (And OUTSTANDING Bass Guitar work!)

[@GreenBeardsRevenge]

Pure performance, pure music....That is what is lacking today! She is talent!

[@Paul19628]

This is best she ever sang this song. So much heart and soul and effort went to it. I'm glad to say it's my favourite of all time.

[@xavierdecozar9448]

Such a beautiful voice and woman ,talented and elegant, no need to be half naked or tattood all over , just class voice and skills.

[@MichelleMarieSublette]

ONE OF A KIND, Beautiful!!!

[@Seventiesfan]

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.

[@braud357]

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.

[@fuzzprobe]

So good! I just bought this 45 for a quarter!

[@robertmas320]

Angelic

[@telsport]

A famous astrologer gave me the good news a while that my best astrological mate match among female celebrities was......Olivia Newton John ! Aaaah...t'were it only to have been! Tom in Utica NY

[@kefwheel]

This is a fantastic Olivia song!!!

[@Trigarner]

This concert was on HBO when I was little. still have it on video tape

[@TheClassicmania]

agree...perfection is innate in her..i watched her Manila concert recently March 31-2012.. still perfect in every note, very consistent..

[@AlMauro]

Saw her live last March in Fl. Oh My Gawwd, she was still this good if not better

[@barneslx]

She sounds great in concert!

[@philokalia]

A beautiful song and a beautiful lady!!

[@Pitsrforidiots]

I just love her and probably will die alone waiting for her.

[@TruBr0]

Such a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice.

[@MrValiant61]

Total class act.

[@ahfaxthis]

OMG 30 years later and still in love !

[@ErnestoTani]

BEAUTIFUL VOICE. THANKS

[@onjlover]

I love the sultry intro, perfect for the gorgeous Olivia

[@MegaVolcano]

God, I love this woman's voice...Very easy on the eyes, too.

[@Paul19628]

One more note. DON'T EVER give up.

[@mikewiththebluecar]

OMG I'm getting to old to still love this song

[@omarmccray997]

SHE'S SO WONDERFUL, WISH WE WERE FRIENDS!

[@SuperGorgar]

Guitarist really rocks the live performance. I remember thinking that when I saw this concert on hbo in the 80s

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1980 {August 8th} the Olivia Newton-John movie "Xanadu" opened in theaters across the U.S.A. and Canada... Five songs featured in the film made Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; "I'm Alive" by the Electric Light Orchestra {#16}, "Magic" by Newton-John {#1 for 4 weeks}, "Suddenly" by Newton-John & Cliff Richard {#20}, "All Over The World" by E.L.O. {#13}, and "Xanadu" by Newton-John & E.L.O. {#8}...

[@ricloar]

Olivia is Magic!

[@MrChimpumcallao]

la mas hermosas de todas las artistas ...de todos los tiempos, el amor platonico de todos en la decada de los 80s.

[@Hawnzz]

Olivia is one of my favorites. I've always felt that most of her material was below her vocal ability. She did an album called Gaia, (I'm not sure it's spelled correctly)just a few years ago that was remarkably vocally athletic. The girl has pipes and we rarely get to hear or see it. Oh did I mention she's one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen? She is...

[@sturiglia]

The best singer in the world

[@mimiBeaker5]

Nice Song !!

[@rickw1100]

Great tune from a great artist!

[@superpaws53]

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.

[@erpy83]

amazing song!

[@Crazypom2]

She is so amazing! I love her dress!

[@k9maxie]

She's fantastic....

[@TerrorOnTheHighSeas]

Great song, great performance !

[@fredrichards2703]

yes she is a Goddess,saw her in concert 3 weeks ago when she come to England,

[@waynec38]

nice live version! she did it well live!

[@decastrobarbosa]

How wonderful she IS...

[@jorgeromerix]

Amazing. She is the best

[@plenty2say]

from another world...wow

[@jely57]

sweet but strong voice, georgeous !!

[@waterfalldance1]

This was her 'signature' look around this time, the dress, the hair, etc. She also filmed Two of a Kind with John Travolta around this time and the look was kind of the same. Still, very good look for her!

[@lundkd10]

Freakin' Amazing Song!!!

[@nchiri]

I worship her

[@gibson617ajg]

Gorgeous woman, gorgeous voice

[@plenty2say]

Let's not forget she was very classy.

[@mwinstanley7]

yes she was a great singer, yes she was pretty ... she was obviously also one of the nicest people in the industry. class one human being

[@michpackfan]

Still is

[@TheMarkcabin]

Absolutely stunning xx

[@JulioLopez-cj3zd]

[@Philip8510]

ONJ Legend! Like no other!

[@sotogal]

Que clase de voz sin playbacks esas son chingonadas

[@AmazGraz]

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.

[@cristianomendes4904]

I love this song...dams

[@iam100ify]

[@TiaGigiRecreadora]

[@leicbri]

It's out on DVD in Europe. Check the UK Amazon site.

[@heavymetalsoldier]

a very catchy tune

[@mlrichardson84]

And by the way, I know this song like the back of my hand, and can safely affirm that she is not lip synching.

[@franco23873]

realmente para enamorarse de OLIVIA

[@SweetestCocktail]

Amazing

[@jwharcup76]

@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.
