I survived Windsor!!!! I could not believe how anal the venue was!!!! I tried bringing a frog I got for Celine that sings "Fever" and its belly lights up, and I get in there and they asked me if it was a gift for Celine and of course I am dumb and say yes. Then they tell me I can't bring it in and they take me this table where supposedly her gifts are going to be left for her. Then they wouldn't let us bring water in! Or take pictures or have our cell phone out! I was in the 6th row and there were so many good photo opportunities but I thought I'd get shot or thrown out if I took a picture. I did manage to tape record it on my ipod. The audience was awful!!!!! There were a few groups of people shouting, "I love you Celine", but other than that it was as if we were at a funeral or church. I stood up during IDAN and the lady behind me shouted "That's enough..sit down!" she told me to sit down twice. I turned around and told her that "This is a concert and she should stand up if she couldn't see." I wanted to go up during My Love to give her one of Becca's frogs (Thanks again Becca) but I was too scared. I was surprised the crowd actually listened to Celine when she said to stand during LCMM and RDMH. She did not sing Fade Away and she went from the black out with silver vest immediately into the gold dress for It's a Mans Mans World. No white outfit at all and no break in between LCMM and RDMH. The stage was tiny so no moving side walks. At the end of MHWGO I went up to the stage to try and give her the frog and a letter and she totally saw me and looked right at me and smiled but there was a group of people thrusting "For Keeps" and a white piece of paper trying to get autographs. So Celine turned away and left. I managed to give the frog and letter to Yves who nicely took it and said he'd give it to Celine. This is my last Celine concert until 2010 and I just wish the crowd and venue was a bit more enthusiastic.

Like Becca said we tried waiting for her at the venue and we got really close and were surprised she came right out of the car, but there were 10 security guards and she immediately was whisked inside. I don't think she saw us.

I'll have to say is I would never go to Casino Windsor again. Celine did sound very good as always and she did look in my direction a few times, I just wish it wasn't such a tense experience thanks to people ready to keel around me with their motorized scooters.


She did mention Vegas and having "deja vu" by being in Windsor, but nothing about Vegas 2010. She talked a lot

Thanks Thomas for the pictures Wish I could have taken my own for you guys.

Screw Casino Windsor!!!!

Long Live Celine!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could afford to go to Omaha for the grand finale

ABSOLUTELY!  I thought the place was SUPER anal about everything!  I will write more tonight, but I am with you deborah... I am returning for a few more events (only because I already have the tickets), but I won't be going back after that!  Terrible security guards, stupid layout.  Caesar's Windsor has a lot to learn when it comes to big name entertainment.  Attending as many live events as I do (I seen Celine twice when she was in Toronto) and have about 8 live shows lined up around Ontario thus far for 2009, I know a good place and good show when I see it, and while Celine was amazing and bang on for her show in Windsor, the atmosphere and deadness with the seniors (nothing against them, but Celine had nothing to "feed" off of when it came to energy from the crowd.  Most of the seniors there were only there cause they got free tickets, or got them as gifts whatever, it was terrible - I had this lady infront of me, she spent more time bitching to security and complaining about rude people who were taking flash photography that she missed half the show!  Furthermore, I cant believe Caesars Windsor sells those FLR 1 and FLR 7 tickets!  You may as well sit at home, those are the worst seats in that place.  Terrible layout - They need to take some lessons from the John Labatt Centre, or Caesars in Vegas.  I seen her there and security wasn't as anal as they were in Windsor!

I'll write more tonight when I get home, cause I would like to expand on this!

Feel free to comment if you want.  :-)

Yeah those pictures are great, they were from the Windsor Star.  I saved them all!  Thanks!

[Terre]

Thanks for the pics, reviews and the video link! Too bad the audience sucked.  

[browseceline]

it almost sounds like she is rehearsing in the video. I don't hear any yells or screaming or whatever..the crowd is really tame..
Celine sings pretty good , but the whole atmosphere is just ...quied

I can't believe she played such a small venue on her massive world tour.
