Two Strong Hearts Live is a live album by John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John recorded in Melbourne with Philharmonia Australia in April 2015. During the concert, the two performed a set spanning their hits over five decades along with several covers.
The live album was released on 16 June 2015 with the live DVD being released on 21 August 2015.
Cameron Adams gave the album 4 out of 5 stars saying, "John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John have a chemistry and friendship you just can’t fake. And zero egos. The fact these two were having serious fun is not lost in the recorded translation. You also see new sides, like Farnham blitzing 'Over the Rainbow' and Livvie cutting loose with rock wailing on 'Hit the Road Jack'. That’s another one of the joys here, we rarely get to hear Olivia live and from the divine thrills of 'Xanadu' to the spine chills of I Honestly Love You it’s our loss. On the Grease favourites 'Summer Nights' and 'You’re the One That I Want', Farnham slips into John Travolta mode [and] Farnham sings 'Olivia Newton-John' better than ONJ’s original duet partner Cliff Richard".
Two Strong Hearts Live debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Charts. This is the second time Farnham and Newton-John had topped the charts together; in 1998, their Highlights from The Main Event album (with Anthony Warlow) also peaked at No. 1.
