"A place where nobody wanted to go. The love that we were forced to know. They call it Xanadu. And now, open your eyes and see what we have made is real. We are in Xanadu. A million lights are dancing and there you are... you shooting star! An everlasting world and you're here with Don-O and me, eternally.... Xanadu, Xanadu, Xanadu... Now you are here (and cannot escape, sorry) from Xana du ooo ooo ooo."

A GREAT musical movie of all times. I fell in love with the movie when I was 13 years old. The Opening Night dance number really inspired me to creat my performance as a Host of the Fireworks Show known as "Xanadu" (Inspired by the musical movie) Keepeing alive all the memories of a great movie that doesn't seen everyday.

I grew up with the vinyl soundtrack from my older brothers. I listened to it a lot, but not having seen the film, I made one up in my mind.

It's been a pleasant ride. I had only vague awareness of the existence of Xanadu before learning of this special broadcast. When I tuned in a few hours ago I learned that my wife saw the movie with her older brother at the theater when it first came out. She only remembers that ONJ was the female lead. She remembers the soundtrack well because she made a copy of her brother's cassette and listened to it a lot. But she doesn't want to talk about it. We now disconnect to watch her Netflix choice.

The laserdisc version of Xanadu is pretty dark and grainy, I still think the print and audio is best on VHS. I was a little disappointed with the audio and picture of the DVD.

This take on Xanadu is a cover of Jeff Lynne's solo version, not ONJ's. Always sounds like the Traveling Wilburys cover Xanadu to me.
