Olivia Newton-John - Video Gold 1 (2005)

must have

if you're an olivia newton john fan and you don't have this dvd and are indifferent to owning it, then you're really not an ONJ fan. It features her best songs and the quality of the DVD is superb. It's interesting to see how music videos were made back then. Not so kinetic, not at all likely to give you ADD. In fact, this dvd gives you exactly what you bought it for---olivia newton john, lots of her, from many different angles that lovingly frame her face so that you have plenty of time to remember all those reasons why you love her so much.

Great DVD

This DVD brought back great memories of Olivia's big hits. If you're a fan of Olivia, you will love this DVD! December 1, 2006

If You Love Livvy, Skip Most of This Collection and Go Straight to Volume 2.

Out of 19 video tracks on Volume 1, I can only recommend the first three from Livvy's Totally Hot album and the last 3 live cuts of her early 70s hits. In the middle are too many disappointments from her Physical album, one I have never been the least bit tempted to buy and, upon hearing some of the tracks I didn't know on this collection, am glad I didn't. Most of those songs and videos are quite boring, but what I really dislike is the sameness of all the Brian Grant directed videos in which she's got the worst hairstyle and wardrobe of her career. That nightclub setup only works well once for "Stranger's Touch" which, otherwise, is another bland Physical track. "Silvery Rain," as well as a disappointing version of "Hopelessly Devoted to You," is by far the worst video on the DVD. What's going on there, the fallout of a nuclear war?

Without argument, everything from Totally Hot works very well, and that's the Livvy most fans prefer to see and hear and, while it's nice to get a rare glimpse of ex-hubby Matt Lattanzi in "Landslide," there just isn't enough here for anyone who's not an avid Livvy fan to maintain their interest for long. If you only get one, get Volume 2 which is far superior to this one. May 13, 2006

Olivia, I'd go STRAIGHT for you! :)

You GO, DIVA!! I missed these videos, soooo COOL!! Deeper Than The Night, I think my favorite Olivia song of all-time... so young, so beautiful!! And even hotter now... check-out Video Gold 2 - just as incredible... ROCK ON, Olivia!! April 17, 2006

Rarities interesting, rest has been seen before

The promotional videos from "Totally Hot" are fun to watch, especially if you're a fan of ONJ circa 1978-79. In my opinion this is when she looked her best - and she definitely is totally hot in the album cover photo session. Even though she's trying to look sexy, and does, the warmth of her personality is still evident. Unfortunately, the rest of the DVD is from the "Physical" video collection and the 1982 concert, both of which have been available on VHS for years (and the concert clips look like they were transferred directly *from* the VHS version, no digital enhancement, no nothing!) Video Gold 2 is definitely better as it contains more rarities, even if the majority of the songs are post-prime ONJ - although _Soul Kiss_ still sounds great. February 25, 2006
