Are there LTAL tour concerts in early 1998?

[RLAAMJR.]

I don't really know about her LLTAL tour. Well, she didn't tour here in my country. But I think, you should google it so you will know if there actually was a LTAL tour.

[Clio]

In my view, the shows in question should not be classed with those beginning with the Boston concert at all because they are totally different from the official tour.

 

They should be deemed as "test run" or the like.

These are the right dates:

 

January 30, 1998 The Crown Casino, Melbourne, Australia

February 1, 1998 The Crown Casino, Melbourne, Australia

 

February 4, 1998 Neil Blaisdell Arena, Honolulu (Hawaii, USA)

February 5, 1998 Neil Blaisdell Arena, Honolulu (Hawaii, USA)

The April 1999 concerts in Atlantic City weren't cancelled. They were rescheduled in October. The dates were October 22, 23 and 24. According to this article, the October 23 performance was by invitation only. But according to this article, there was no show that night. Maybe there was a show but tickets weren't available for the public.

 

Here's a review.

I knew Celine had worn the silver ballgown to perform MHWGO at shows other than Amsterdam but I couldn't remember the exact date, and I lost the photos of her performing it. Thanks for reminding me! It was Atlantic City.

Celine was in Australia in 1998 for those two dates. She was the headline artist to open Melbourne's new Crown Casino. The tickets were very expensive from memory and as I was still at school and live in Sydney my parents never got me tickets - I will never let them forget that though!

 

She was here a few days before...she was interviewed by Mike Munore on A Current Affair - and this showed her and Rene playing gold at one of Melbourne's golf courses...and she also went to visit sick children at Melbourne's Children's Hospital. They showed her with parents and sick children....taking photos and signing stuff.

 

Although Hey Hey its Saturday was not back on air at that stage......Daryl Sommers went and interviewed her....they showed this later in the year...and she sang MHWGO. Although it was called Let's Talk about Love - she still had the gold outfits from the Falling into You tour...from what I remember.

 

Also there is a coupld of photos out there....that I will try to find on my other computer...as the Head of Sony in Australia gave Celine this diamond necklace for coming.........

CROWN has been asked to find accommodation for some 100 journalists from overseas who will be invited to accompany Celine Dion on her tour of Australia in January.

 

 

Sony, which is backing the tour, will invite the journalists in an attempt to secure world coverage of Dion's latest album.

 

 

Crown has apparently informed Sony that its hotel is full, but has given a guarantee it will house them somewhere in town.

 

 

Dion is performing on 30 January and 1 February.

Here's a photo taken after the press conference on January 28, 1998.

Now, I want someone to confirm this for me:

 

I read on the "Colour of My Love" website back in 1998 that Celine performed "Just A Little Bit of Love" at one of her Hawaii gigs in the promotional 1998 Spring concerts in Hawaii.

 

This has stuck in my mind since then.

 

Is this correct?

[Chula]

Any pics?

I think there were "try out" songs like "Love in on the way" performed at the Madison Square Garden....Did she performed that song in any other concerts?

Wasn't an Mp3 of "just a little..." surfing the net?

oke that would be sooooo weird to see now!! just like when she still wore the LAP outfit in the beginning of the FIY tour!

damn!!! why do they always take the good songs out!??! JALBOL is like LCMM part 2!!! I always thought that that song should have been a part of the tour

how many unseen pics do u have? haha

i cant remember the dress, wasnt it the same for ACDS?

[Chula]

It's grey ball gown with a jacket.

 

It looks very very weird in my opinion.

[Thomas]

She didn't wear the jacket in Atlantic City though.

 

No, it wasn't the same as the ACDS dress. This one was bright silver and very shiny, plain with no pattern like the red one from late 98/early 99 but in silver. In Amsterdam she wore it with a jacket over the top which looked weird, I do have photos but they're packed away - I'll try and find them if no one else has them to hand.

Here it is

[Celine AJ]

Thanks for the photo....I have never seen that outfit....

[Love,]

Celine should have been arrested by the Fashion Police after wearing that hideous silver ensemble...

 

I'm so glad she switched to the pink gown... it's like 'day and night.'

[Matias]

She also wore that red Ralph Lauren gown ( one of my favorites) in the Asia leg of her tour (I know that around March 1999 she wore that with curly hair)
