March 8-9, 2008 - Tokyo, Japan (Tokyo Dome)

[mirage]

And, I can't believe it, but.....MHWGO is live!! :o

 

yeaaah i had to listen twice, i was like: this sound different then vegas!?

[scorp82]

All By Myself is great but I miss that dramatic arm swirl and point up thing she used to do at the end.

 

 

I miss that too! Now when Celine finishes All by Myself, she seems to lay down on stage and then stands up.

 

But I love those funky hand and arm movements she used to do in the mid and late 1990s when she would finish performing All by Myself. She did the arm and hand movements in Memphis too.

 

 

Take notice of the arm and have movements starting at 3:50 in the video:

to be honest i cant stand those hand movements lol. i prefer the laying down she does now

[Thomas]

MHWGO was totally not live, the fact she was flailing her arms all over the place just like Vegas should be enough of a clue, nevermind the pre-rendered and unnatural echos. It's just a new or perhaps modified version that's all....like for I Surrender on the "A New Day" DVD where it was different but was obviously not live either.

[kathy4]

why are people still going on about whether the performances were live?

 

are there anymore pictures?

 

are there pictures of the merchandise? was is sold out?

ive always wondered about echos - because isn't there a way to perform live but add effects such as echo while you're performing to enhance it and have someone control it from inside the room or sth. or does it always mean it's pre-recorded effect that's done in the post recording process in the studio? :S

 

i hope this doesn't sound like i'm defending mhwgo being live cos I could care less about the live vs lipsynch debate LOL I just have always wondered about echos in general

I don't know Thomas....it's different. Why would do modify only that song and not TPOL, TLYM, etc?

I reckon it's really live....perhaps one time only, perhaps at times when she's feeling good.. this one is not the same like at the previous shows on this tour (and AND)..

[anewdayhascome]

yeap it's different especially at the soft part

[celinefanonline]

i love the fire!!

Yes, it's called "reverb" and can easily be manipulated by the sound technician/engineer/board operator.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezuDJQoFYrc

I laughed sooo hard when she began singing in Japanese!

:laugh:

 

Then, they kept playing it in the background! :giggle:

It's lipped, M.

 

She could also have had an alternative pre-recorded track that she recorded specifically for this tour.

 

Celine would do that.

These videos are great. Are there any mp3s of them anywhere? Thanks to those who provide these inside looks at the concerts!!

 

For those who have attended the concerts, how and when does she introduce the band?

 

 

The only member she introduced was Barnev Valsaint at the end of I'll be you're Angel. Quite a shame. I remember the Falling Into You tour where she would mimic all the instruments. That was a great show.

[Thomas]

Sounds the same to me! Pretoria at least. Where is the full version from Dubai that you compared it to? I've only seen clips with the ending missing.

 

How sad that she still fails to introduce her band properly. I thought this disrespectful trend was due to Vegas and the show not being a typical concert, but there's no excuse on tour. She did it in the past, she could do it now.

 

Oh well, here's some more HQ pics of the show:

Really!?! I used love how she would introduce her band in one of the songs and let them have a moment to shine solo.

[CSCfan]

How weird.... even no introductions during LCMM? Hmm..

[Your_Su_Phu]

TAKING CHANCES SOUNDS AMAZING

NO, she doesn't.

[anget64]

yes i noticed that also........... i know i will get yelled at but the high note at the end she is lip syncing i mean you can totally tell

the song sounds sooo good though i love the stage... even though it seems she stands in the middle alot

[tativale]

Thanks for all the vids, pictures and reviews!!! She sounds AMAZING on ABM! I can`t wait to see it in August!!!

Those lights are harsh eh? But I`m sure a lot of girls don`t shave thier thighs...I bet she will now!

That's so ridiculous to write an article about it.

I do wax my whole leg. hehehe

ultra heavy stage make up....

 

how she transpires???

 

 

but if this makes her more beautiful on stage....

keep it hahaah

 

but i love her anyway

[anna]

hey guys did u realize celines new thing that she always do now but she didnt do it ever befor ,i started to take care of it since the x factor performance what is she doing behind her back its like shes trying to fix something and shes doing it all the time know even in the last tour shes doing it alot and at the biggining of this tc performance take care she olso did it any one knows what shes doing??

 

 

Yes, I have noticed it too! For example, when she performed The Power of Love in Pretoria, you can tell Celine switched her microphone from one hand to the other to fix something in her back... That specific incident occurred after she had sang the first lines of the song into the verse of "... Cause I'm your lady... "

 

 

i think she's adjusting the sound to suit her

[bruno_oliveira]

its her sound return.

 

this has a size of an old walkman

professional singers use this instead of ugly speakers on the floor...

IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY THE GABGET WAS ALWAYS THERE

Edited March 11, 2008 at 02:05 AM by bruno_oliveira

[autumnskies00]

She plays with the box on her back when switching over from live to playback or vice versa. I think it also controls the sound in her ear, so she could be turning it down or up...etc. She's always had it.

[bruno_oliveira]

NO

 

hahahah

this only has return from the soundboard...

she cant change from live to playback

 

she has her voice and some intruments ...

 

she can only change volume , channels in case of changing mics for example and and turn on/off

Edited March 11, 2008 at 02:25 AM by bruno_oliveira

[autumnskies00]

She can turn the mic on and off with it then right? Which is what I meant. For playback you need to turn the mic off. I'm not positive on that, but if I'm wrong, I'm sure you will correct me. I'm not trying to start a playback fiasco, I just thought that was what it was used for since it since at those moments she plays with it. Edited March 11, 2008 at 02:38 AM by autumnskies00
