This setlist is weird because after WDMHBN you have a bunch of minor hits or album tracks and BYLM. I wonder how the audience thought of it back then.

[rfkavanagh]

That setlist looks very similar to how I remember the shows in Ireland/UK - maybe a bit out of order, as you note.  After the success of Think Twice, she also opened those shows with an a cappella chorus of Think Twice from behind the stage before appearing and launching into the show proper (with Think Twice being performed in full much later in the show).

The order of songs for this tour and particular is a bit odd, it seemed as though the order was constantly changing, and it seemed as though some songs were performed a bit randomly, think twice, for example, was performed in Berlin, Brunei, and some others, but not Jones Beach or Memphis. Interesting this setlist includes RDMH, we can probably assume that it was not performed in the Montreal, June 1996 concerts, nor was it performed in Jones Beach.

Wow - I would love to see/hear a clip of her singing Think Twice a cappella.

Hi, can you see the contents of my messages? If so, I can send you my email privately. Not sure what’s going on, but I can message anybody without any issues, and some people have been replying to me.

Where did you see Think Twice being sung an a cappella like that? I’ve never seen anything online.

I don’t recall that at the UK Falling Into You tour show I went to in 1996. There was no Think Twice opening at my show. It began with TPOL and the intro was the heartbeat-type intro.

Think Twice was almost never performed in concert in the US until Vegas, as it was not a hit for her here. So it makes sense that it wouldn’t be in the set list for Jones Beach or Memphis.

What heartbeat type intro are you referring to? From my memory at least most of those concerts have no intro, although it seems Zürich audio could’ve had something, the clapping in the beginning almost sounds like they were following a certain rhythm, and obviously Memphis has Love Can Move Mountains as the intro.

The Celine Dion clips collector youtube channel posted this. Not so sure I believe it either way.
A rare setlist of her first Canadian concert of FIY Tour.

Falling into You Tour - Live in Vancouver (May 19 1996).

Setlist:

1. It's All Coming Back to Me Now
2. Falling into You
3. Seduces Me
4. All by Myself
5. The Power of Love
6. River Deep, Mountain High
7. Pour que tu m'aimes encore
8. Think Twice
9. Beauty and the Beast
10. If You Asked Me To
11. Where Does My Heart Beat Now
12. Make You Happy
13. Le ballet
14. Misled
15. Love Can Move Mountains
16. Declaration of Love
17. Because You Loved Me
18. Call the Man
19. Fly

Notes:

- Might be out of order
- I found another comment from a different person who attended the concert, she was indeed open the show with IACBTMN.
- It was stated that Make You Happy was performed. Whether it's true or confusion between songs. I haven't found any other review of that show or other english canada FIY tour show to confirm this.
- No To Love You More and J'irai ou tu iras.
- Two performances were broadcasted (BYLM and Fly). Both footages can be found online.

Well it was written that it’s the first show of her Canadian leg of the tour and seemingly an early show of the tour. Not surprised if the setlist was different from the other because her tours are always like that. She would perform with a different setlist or performing a song she would later omit on the earlier shows of the tour before changing into the permanent setlist that would stay till the end of tour.

There were drums that sounded like a heartbeat almost building up before silence and “The whispers in the morning…” starts.

You can hear a bit of it before the "The whispers... in the morning..." starts

Make You Happy was performed live?? Omg!

The video, but not the show !

The FIY shows started with the noise of the wind, then a heartbeat and then Celine would appear on top of the stairs (french shows started with "Je sais pas")

Yeah that would be really interesting! The song is mentioned in the tourbook... but I really wonder if she ever performed it. And if so, why the hell it was cut!

Maybe it was too vocally demanding for a constant live performance on tour and they thought adding another pre-recorded track would be too much? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe? But then again, IMO it could have easily replaced Misled, as that song wasn't SUCH a huge hit after all. Or maybe the audience just thought it was a snooze fest, and that's why they axed it.

I mean knowing Megos reputation with uptempo songs, it totally wouldn’t surprise me if they managed to turn a fun song into a snooze fest and the audience gave them the clue to drop it quickly.

Funny, that’s exactly what I think about Declaration Of Love in the LTAL tour. It totally should have been replaced by Just A Little Bit Of Love…

Completely agree! If not Just A Little Bit Of Love some other uptempo song, not lipped!

[DCCeline]

Personally I find DOL embarassing. Its catchy but I could do without it on any tour.  Especially at the expense of an actual single or hit

[smw]

It’s interesting… I think anytime Celine got more experimental with her music, it just didn’t click or ring true with a lot of her general fans.

The songs that have resonated in recent years have been more in her classic style that she’s known for — Ashes, How Does A Moment Last Forever, etc.

I don’t think the songs were given a chance to resonate. The only uptempo song that was really actually promoted and PUSHED toward success was “That’s The Way It Is.” Even IDAN was kind of just thrown out there and they expected Chrysler commercials to do all the work. Which is why it only reached #45 on the Hot 100. Her team nor the record company did anything more to push it upon its release.

I’m so glad IDAN and TTWII are well-known. Especially TTWII. It was such a refreshing song for her in 1999. And they kind of rode that wave with her comeback album in 2002. It would’ve been interesting to see what kinds of songs she would’ve released in 2000 if she didn’t take a break.

she would have probably promoted all the new songs from All the way as those were released while she was on a break

It's quite possible I'm merging two different shows in my brain (it was 30 years ago!).  The Think Twice a cappella opening was probably at the 1995 D'Eux Tour shows rather than the FIY Tour the following year - would make more sense that it was done closer to the huge TT single success rather than ~two years later.

[DCCeline]

Im always amazed at what people can remember 30 years ago. I saw her in 2017 in Vegas and I can only remember like 20% of the show if that.

I'm with you!  I mix shows up in my brain and couldn't tell you half the songs performed at any show I've attended unless someone posted a setlist.  But the a cappella Think Twice is hard to forget (even if I can't be sure exactly which show it was)!

And this is just another reason we need a D’eux tour bootleg, although for English shows the setlist was probably similar to that of Birmingham. So many moments of her early career we are missing.
