Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at another PATREON request with OLIVIA! LIVE TV Special aired in 1978. What a remarkable live performance by all talented artists singing a string of hits. They all shined, but as always I had some favorites. See for yourself!

Poor Dereck, apparently born in the wrong decade. I thank God i grew up in the 70s.
So do I - I'm so THANKFUL to have experienced this in real time!...🎼🎶💃
Olivia was so excited and emotional, amazing show and live performance ... RIP Olivia, always in my heart!
Olivia singing Have You never been mellow is pure Paradise! 😍
I totally remember watching this on TV!!! What a great trip down memory lane!! Can you see any of today's stars doing this - taking turns and singing backup on another performer's song?!?!
Love your reaction to this. Dame Olivia Newton-John passed away in August at the young age of 73. The Queen made her a Dame the year before they both would pass. She was an angel among us for too short a time and a massively underrated talent. Wow, how many artists can claim 100 MILLION albums sold and such an incredible book of songs that spans six decades - no auto-tune, just pure talent! She was the shy mega-star that wanted to bring joy to the world with her voice and touch everyone ever affected by cancer! You only get one Olivia in a millennium! WATCH her ENTIRE catalog! I had the great honor of meeting her and she was one of the loveliest people I have ever known. RIP my friend!
Dereck, check out Olivia: Hollywood Nights. 1980, broadcast before the Academy Awards. Elton John, Karen Carpenter, Tina Turner, Toni Tennille, Gene Kelly, Cliff Richard. Blows this one out of the water. Looking forward to the reaction. ❤️
Dancing Queen is a minefield of a song to sing and they just stand there and do it like it's nothing. That's why they are so Iconic.
And it is live, so you hear the orchestra
a 2 octave range isn’t hard for me, but i’m an anomaly in that regard, and so are frida and agnetha. note the lower key though. that was most likely done because these performances were done live, and lowering the key of most of the songs they perform is easier on the girls’ voices overall, which is an important consideration considering they were recording 20 minutes of both lead and backing vocals, WITH rehearsals.
i’m a vocalist myself, and i looooove when i’m playing with someone who can lower the key if we’re doing like, an hour of singing lol
YES. Degree of difficulty on ABBA vocals: a million percent. Agree @Experiment IV. I’m a singer too, and I’d love to sing with another girl for the harmonies. (I’m a mezzo with a big range but still)
There´s no reaction other than cry seeing and hearing all those voices singing togheter!
Iconic performance! Olivia had her own show and ABBA was huge in Australia, to this day probably the country who appreciates ABBA's music the most❤
i’ve been obsessed w this video since the early 00s, and i was born in the 90s. hearing ABBA do backing vocals on ONJ and Andy Gibb tracks is the BEST kind of surreal
ABBA 1st met Olivia in Brighton 1974 when they won the Eurovision Song Contest for Sweden. Olivia was representing the UK
I am listening on headphones. Agnetha in my right ear and Olivia on my left, especially in Dancing Quen you hear the stereo effect
Olivia became friends with Frida. Both have a similar haircut in the earlier 80s
That makes me so happy!
May I suggest Olivia Newton John's "A Little More Love" the original video.. She had just finished and was riding on the success of the movie "Grease" and went a little "bad girlish" in the album for this song called "Totally Hot". She is really at her peak with this song. There's also her song "Magic" that has a couple of live performances with her in Daisy Dukes and Go Go boots where she totally slays it. Andy was the little brother of the Bee Gees, not a member but they wrote his songs and he sang with them live occasionally. Also Andy was dating Olivia perhaps about this period.
Unfortunately, even though that is called "live" in the description here, the Magic performance from the Midnight Special is lip sync. I can't think of an actual television performance of Magic that is truly live. The 80s were big on lip sync performances. There are several concert videos of her singing it live, though, but not the Black & White Midnight Special taping.
Love it, there was a ton of extra content to this special including Frida singing opera, and all of them doing The Beach Boys!
Olivia Newton Jon is just outstanding. You need to react to some of her music.
This is so moving to watch after Olivia's passing, that amazingly talented group got together for this special mostly out of friendship, Andy passed away 10 years after this, way too young. ABBA got to pay tribute and say goodbye to Olivia through their social media, they became lifelong friends. It's insane how life just flies by like that, but man did they all shine so very brightly for as long as they did. Watching this almost 2 years later, but loved your reaction.
I had exactly the same reaction when I first saw this. So surprising and amazing.
You missed Frida singing opera when they warm up on stage before show start :)
Would love to see that.
@Mk Shffr Here you go: czcams.com/video/0gt3grMaHZI/video.html
@@JF-sh2sm Thanks. Too cool. I bet if she made a serious effort she could do it up pretty good. She has great range and tone.
@@mkshffr4936 Frida could sing anything. Greatest talent in group. Wonderful lady too.
DAMN
This stuff is Golden!
How many legends can fit on one stage? My god this is truly one event to put in the books..Olivia, ABBA and Andy Gibb singing together...and also sounding incredible!
Olivia and Andy recorded together in studio a few songs. What's also amazing in this show is that they jam together as friends while they come from different countries (USA, UK and Sweden).
I have to say that the first time I saw this show it was rogasmic, because my all time favourite groups are The Bee Gees and ABBA. Although Andy was not part of the Bee Gees, seeng him singing ABBA songs was incredible. At that time disco music was at its top, and Gibb brothers and ABBA were almost competitors in the genre (Voules Vous was the "ABBA's disco" LP). Olivia was the star of Grease (with BG's main theme) and also sang several Gibb's songs. But having ABBA joining them was unique. I think the only other occasion they were together was the Unicef event.
The best part for me is what comes after were they are interviewed and improvise together.
Olivia is a GODDESS.
Love them💕💕💕💕💕💕
You did such an awesome job with this whole video going through each artist. Love the reactions.
There's a great 'jam session' on this show too, where they're all sitting around on chairs together singing some pop standards. It's a shame you missed this out. Maybe you could do that next time!! But, you really should check out ABBA's full version of 'Thank you For The Music', and 'Why Did It Have To be Me' (Live in Australia). That's a stunning live performance!
Yes love the Jam Session.
I just adore the jammin' session that comes later, I've been obsessed for year for this ONJ tv special. It's just perfection!!
'Thank You For the Music' lyrics are so beautiful. So humble and greatful. Makes me cry.
Yes where you hear Frida do a tiny bit of opera :D classic....and the "Help Me Rhonda" cover is amazing!
Beautiful Agneta
Thank you so much for this, Dereck, and to your friend that remastered the audio. There have been versions of this on CZcams for years, but the sound always sounds distorted.
I remember when this special aired. I was so excited and couldn't wait for the night. I had been a HUGE fan of Olivia for several years already at that point. My mom was also a fan of Olivia (especially "Hopelessly Devoted to You"), so I remember watching the special with her. I LOVED ABBA as well, and had a huge crush on Andy Gibb, even though I was still pretty young. Everyone's voices sound SO good with nothing but live instruments and backing vocals. You could tell none of it was lip synced since the arrangements on all the songs are all slightly different from the recorded version from the albums. It shows you just how good of singers they all are.
I was lucky enough to see Olivia live several times. The first time was in Nashville at FanFair in 1998 when she released her album "Back With a Heart" when she returned to Nashville and worked with some of the biggest writers and producers at the time. She was the headliner for MCA records and closed the nighttime session. It was so cool because at FanFair they allow fans to walk right up to the stage and take pics during the entire performance. Being just a few feet away from her was incredible.
When she first started performing in Las Vegas, I was at a show over New Year's weekend. It was a great way to celebrate the New Year.
The next time I saw her she was accompanied by the Minnesota Symphony at the Orpheum theater in Minneapolis. The Orpheum is such a beautiful theater with amazing acoustics. Probably my favorite of all the shows I have seen.
A few years later she was doing touring again and I had the chance to see her perform at a smaller casino in Minnesota.
I had tickets to see her perform again at a casino when she discovered her cancer had returned and she cancelled all shows. I feel so lucky that I was able to see her live so many times. It would have been incredible to see her in concert at the height of her career. There is a live concert that aired on HBO from the early 80's that you can find on CZcams if would like to check it out and maybe react to it.
Another great Andy Gibb song is "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away." It's very much a ballad, but worth checking out. Because of this special, Olivia and Andy worked together on a couple of duets you really should check out. "I Can't Help It" is a really nice pop love song, and "Rest Your Love On Me" is a country-tinged love song. The vocals on "Rest Your Love On Me" are really incredible from both Olivia and Andy. If you appreciated this special, you really should check out that song at least.
this is pure gold!
I'm about to cry....was a kid back in those days, so grateful with life and great, real music! (49 years now)
LIVE!!! We will never see their likes again !!
Dereck, I've seen this special before on CZcams. It really is great! It originally aired the month before I was born. Thanks for reacting to this, you did a great job! ~Chris
So glad you got to see this. I did get to see this on TV as a teenager, and it was so special. (I also saw ABBA live in concert, which was pretty darn special.)
Lol, I couldn’t decide to watch your reactions or the artists performance!! I love your reaction, priceless!! These are my teenage year growing up music, I love them still! (When I wasn’t listening to the hot rock bands of that time!!)
Terrific show, thank you!!❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
AWWW MAN! Christmas is early!!! Thanks Derick!
It's only an uncut medley from the 1978 Olivia Newton-John show on ABC, the full show is actually 48 minutes long
thanks so much Dereck for this show. we don't know it in France. it was so beautiful.
I like all of your reactions Dereck, you're give us enjoy ! thanks for this !
I remember watching this special and was amazed at the talent on the stage at the same time!!!
Derick , Thank you! Thank you, so very much. This is such a treat. 🤗💖
Where is the part where Frida sings opera? It was fantastic! Her talent went beyond everyone.
Dereck,, your reactions are just nuts. Gets me everytime .. love it.😁🤣😂
Thank you for the music and thank you for the video ... Nothing compares with the music of my era
Shadow dancing...such a good song...
This was amazing to watch and hear....all of them are great,ABBA is my favorite,but it was also great to see Andy Gibb and the lovely cheerful and loveable Olivia Newton John that also have not just her amazing looks but more importantly,a great voice. Great experience,much happiness,no fakes,very real....great...
I've always thought ONJ's 'If Not for You' is a really underrated track.
I watched that special back in the day. Love your reactions!
This version of this special, the vocals and music haven't been mixed yet to what went out over the air when this was originally broadcast. This sounds like the raw live feed. There is another version with the sound all mixed.
Yes, Olivia and Andy and ABBA all contribute to the backing vocals to each others performances.
Pretty awesome you thought this video was going to get taken down pretty much immediately but yet it's still going almost a year later awesome I'm so glad got the attention it deserved! This special is just amazing and it showcases all of their vocals so beautifully
Tremendous live show! I've never seen this before. What a show that was!
They recorded the show originally in stereo so that it could be released later commercially.
yep, still need to get my hands on a high quality laserdisc without a disastrous amount of disc rot to do a high quality transfer rip.
Absolutely phenomenal!
Andy wasn't part of the Bee gees, he was the youngest and died when about 30 in the late 70s/ early 80s, please do why did it have to be me ABBA live in Australia if you get chance( Frida slays it)
yeah Dereck has to do that one for sure Paul , Frida really rockin out, and so hot she's on fire !!!
He was not even raised together. The Gibbs were in UK when Andy was in Australia, because hemis waynyounger
Well Said ! - Frida is amazing on this !!! 😀
yes please!! She rocked that song, as she did in all live performances as well
Andy died on March 10, 1988.
So glad to hear that you are pointing out that this is just pure raw talent not only that but also very beautiful people.
RIP Andy Gibb
🤪🤪🤪 ABBA, Oliva y Andy juntos...que maravilla, es para disfrutarlo una y otra vez. WoW, tantas canciones icónicas. Gracias al responsable de poder disfrutarlo y a tí Dereck..
Olivia está maravillosa. Besos, hasta la próxima!!!desde luego, gracias por la música 🎉🎉🎉
Wow I didn't know this was out there! Thank you! Not sure if this aired in the States? I would've been a little kid but I believe I would have remembered this.I loved ABBA and had the BIGGEST crush on Andy Gibb ❤
Grreat Choice!! Next please THANK YOU FOR THR MUSIC - the whole Song by ABBA👍
Welcome to the '70s! Loved it!
Omg !. All of them are sensational, ABBA, Andy. Olivia’s voice, out of this world. Me encanta !.
Andy Gibb was of course lucky to have those two amazing singers to sing along, they know how to do it.
you're fun to watch!
So glad you did this, and I love your reactions. I've watched your reaction to 'Hole in Your Soul' about 10 times. Definitely do studio recordings to "Shadow Dancing" & "Have You Never Been Mellow". Olivia did a special a couple of years later called "Hollywood Nights", similar star power of the time. If you want Olivia live, check out her 1982 concert from Utah, so many highlights but perhaps 'Jolene', 'Sam', 'Magic', 'A Little More Love', 'Heart Attack', 'Hopelessly Devoted to You', honestly just watch the whole thing.
ABBA weren't so popular in the USA in the 70s due to lack of touring extensively in the USA so this was done to push them into the light in the USA
I sure remember hearing them on the radio constantly in the 70's starting with Waterloo.
This special aired two years after Dancing Queen was number 1 in the US. Take A Chance On Me was also a top 5 hit for them by this time.
Oh my god am I feeling old right now...I had "Have You Never Been Mellow" on 8 track. Also, can we remember that Andy is only 20 years old here, absolutely amazing to watch, thank you!
Tus reacciones son geniales y muy auténticas.
Olivia Newton-John
The most beautiful voice / singer / woman / human
Love, love your reaction to this! There is another part to this video when they are having a casual jam session. All sitting in a circle singing old songs and Frida sings opera. They talk about Andy’ famous brothers The Bee Gees.
This was the first time I saw Abba back in the 70's. I was 7 years old when I saw this on tv back in the day. You need to react to some Olivia. She has the most incredible voice. Try reacting to live versions of A Little More Love, and Sam from Olivia. You will love her voice. Great reaction !!
Man, the girls looked fantastic. And they all could really sing. You should react to the part when they performed Barbara Ann and Frida did some classical singing. Love your reaction.
Too bad you didn't see Frida sing opera. Just a few notes....Frida had a blast.... you really need to watch the LIVE Eurovision 1974 ABBA performance of Waterloo. And then after they win the second performance.
Olivia every young boys crush.
That performance for Fernando might be my favorite performance for the song!
Quite obvious how he hits those high notes, when see how tight his pants are!!
RIP To Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton-John
Now you have to react to the proper version of ‘Thank Your for the Music’. It’s one of ABBA’s signature songs and it has an official video!
Yep! You gotta do a reaction video to Andy Gibbs Shadow Dancing! THE 12 INCH!
You had to see all the special completely and react to it, please, a big huge from Lima Perú
I saw this on abc the night it aired. If I remember correctly, the carpenters space encounters special aired the hour before in abc. It was one great night of tv that night!!
Well done Dereck! I think you are right with the horns and brass, probably to bring all songs/music together to create a "whole" sound. Do you know that a lot of ABBA fans consider you the TRUE reactor of ABBA's songs? Since a lot of opportunists showed up for the new songs. You know ABBA. Yes Olivias hair - very bouncy! Get that haircut! Also I like your "DR-Appoved"-thing, it's fun! John from Sweden
Olivia’s beautiful here
what’s really great about the original video is that the stereo audio is panned in a way where i can tell whose voices of the 6 (very familiar w everyone in ABBA’s singing voices, including Benny’s, even though he barely ever sings, as well as ONJ and Andy) is in which ear, which doesn’t really change? it feels almost as if Frida is hard-panned to the right
❤️ ‘I’m gonna go bananas”
Olivia Newton-John, off camera, singing some of the high harmony parts.
This was part of ABBA month early 78 as a major push for them as the USA never took to them like the rest of world as they rarely travelled and to get “big” in the states you had to be there 24/7. ABBA rarely sang covers or appeared with other artists. Your reactions are just such a joy to watch. Keep them coming!
Thank God they’re now getting the recognition they deserve all around the world, especially in the US
They were asked to move to LA, NY or London, they refused and paid the price for that
beautiful voices!! Andy Gibb's falsetto is because he was BeeGees' little brother. Barry taught him 😁👍🏻
Love
ABBA won the Eurovision Song contest with Waterloo in 1974. The Brits initially though they would win with Olivia Newton John's song 'Long Live Love', but she came in #4.
If You Love Me Let Me Know was a huge early hit for Olivia. Recorded in London studios if I recall.
And Elvis Presley sang that song live too
Andy Gibb & Olivia Newton John singing I Cant Help It...Andy did a lot of duets & he was a master at blending with anyone he sang with
Many think that Agnetha couldn't hit the low voice but in Fernando, she was doing the alto rather Frida. That's because the Original Fernando which was in Swedish was only sang by Frida.
@Juleo.Dart what i mean is on the studio version not this live version.
An I hear Olivia's voice in the chorus too
@Juleo.Dart prove it. Dont just say im wrong and you are right.
@Juleo.Dart ah shut up! You're just being a kid
"Hopelessly Devoted To You" Is from the movie "Grease". If you've never seen that movie, you need to see it!!!
That you posted this made me subscribe. Thank you for highlighting these amazing artists, especially Olivia. You asked for more recommendations… check out Olivia:Hollywood Nights, from 1980. Xanadu promo. Gene Kelly, Cliff Richard, Elton John, Andy Gibb, Tina Turner, Karen Carpenter, Toni Tennille. I shit you not. Olivia sings Candle in the Wind with Elton. SLAY. Check it out. Looking forward to your reaction!
Frida and Olivia were close friends. You need to do more on Olivia. Also look for her work with Andy Gibb and Barry Gibb duets. You will LOVE them.
You probably should do Abba live songs from the Australian tour used in the Abba film. That tour had the big orchestra to fill out the soundscape. It was much better than subsequent tours which were more paired down in presentation and musical backing.
But most songs are incomplete there.
Andy Gibb generally was a solo artist only sometimes coming together with the Bee Gees. He sadly died young.
Schaue dieses Special das erste mal durch,da ich ein riesiger ABBA Fan und ein
Großer Dereck Fan bin!!!
Da geht mir immer das💓auf,selbst wenn ich Traurig bin.
Auch macht es mich nach wie vor Traurig,dass Andy so Jung verstorben ist.
Seine Solo Karriere ist ihm leider nicht gut bekommen.
Seine Brüder Barry, Robin und Maurice (letztere die
Zwillinge leider auch schon verstorben),haben immer versucht ihn aus seiner Sucht und seinen Depressionen heraus zu helfen, leider ohne Erfolg 💔😢😭!!!
Rip--- Andy, Maurice und Robin,ihr mischt da oben sicher richtig auf,mit vielen anderen Kumpels 🙏🙏🙏
Derek I have to admit that right now you are my FAVORITE REACTOR.
I have unsubscribed a few reactors.
Andy sang pretty much by himself.
Love you.👍

I saw Olivia Newton John in concert a couple of years ago.
I won the tickets.
Best concert ever. .Especially consider she has been sick..
She didnt miss a beat.
Andy Gibb I had a big crush on.
In these old music videos, my attention is always drawn to the microphone, how small it is compared to today.
Also, Barry Gibb not only wrote mostly all of Andy Gibb's Songs and produced them as well
Look at Olivia Newton-John and Barry Gibb duet live 'Islands in the Stream', 2012
2009 sorry
@@bettinam8327 Such a great song! I never got to go to a concert, but I always sang along with the radio.
Andy. My mind went straight to Andy. Missed the Barry part! I don't remember Barry singing with Olivia. Did he?
Yes. These are good Friends. 2009 in Stage. IT is in CZcams
Im Swedish and its crazy with Olivia,from GREASE she is cute and sweet as a doll here and has an amaazing voice...
