Olivia Newton-John concert chronology

The Greatest Hits Tour was the seventh concert tour by Australian singer Olivia Newton-John, in support of her seventeenth studio album Back with a Heart (1998). It's her first solo tour (and her first shows in the United States) in 16 years, since the Physical Tour, in 1982.

The show visited only cities of the United States, at casinos. Four songs from Back with a Heart album ("Precious Love", the re-recording of "I Honestly Love You", "Back with a Heart" and "Love Is a Gift") are featured. Newton-John had three costume changes through the show.[1]

Critical response

Jon Bream from Star Tribune made a positive review about the show, writing: "Newton-John positively sparkled, singing into their eyes, radiating desire, devotion and delight that couldn't be denied". But stated that "when she tried to sound contemporary, she seemed out of character".[2]
