I purchased the show yesterday and the CD was only available in the CD/DVD combo. The DVD and Bluray were also available for purchase on their own.

Thank you! Do the DVD and Bluray have the same behind the scenes content? I'll grab the CD/DVD combo first then and hope for a Bluray release.

I'm assuming they do. I only purchased the CD/DVD combo so I didn't look at the Bluray options.

March 5, 2015 at 06:40 AM

here in Australia they actually release 3 format individually ... so there's no cd/dvd combo ... so yeah!

got the cd will get the blu-ray 2moro!! can't wait

How is the editing compared to AND? :whistling:

March 5, 2015 at 10:08 AM

but why does she already say that it's her final tour? It's her first since ages and hasn't even revealed the release date of her new album... she doesn't want to sing anymore? What's the reason? I don't get it.

Also, I'm disappointed. I've read somewhere that this tour will have 50 concerts because she is celebrating 50th birthday in August and now it seems that this tour will be only USA/Canada. That's a shame! Most of her fans at least from the US could easily go to Vegas... But at the same time I've read that she will do some international gigs too (but it's contradictory to the number of shows...)... :hmm:

You may want to re-familiarize yourself with a map of the United States of America. I don't know where this notion came from within the "international fandom" that it is "so easy" for fans in the U.S. to just hop on a plane and go to Las Vegas. The U.S. isn't the size of Ireland. It is a much bigger animal. Plane fare to and from Las Vegas from places like Miami, New York City, Raleigh, Nashville, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, etc. isn't cheap.

Exactly. It's not just the money, it takes a long time to travel there too. I don't do this for anyone but Celine. And even then, I didn't have time to go as many times as I would have liked.

I know how big that country is but it's still EASIER MUCH EASIER to go to LV for fans even from Miami or Boston rather than from Cape Town, Athens or Beijing!

March 7, 2015 at 02:45 PM

Not to mention the fact that with a 2 year residency, you have the time to save and the flexibility to choose a date that suits you.

With a tour, you have just 1 or 2 days in each city which have to be convenient, usually just a couple of months after tickets go on sale.

March 7, 2015 at 05:23 PM

That isn't entirely true. I would be careful about making generalizing statements such as this. Each person has their own financial circumstances. There are those who live in Beijing who may have gobs of money. So, a trip to Las Vegas wouldn't set them back that badly. However, there could be somebody just one or two states over from Nevada that barely has any money. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that it gets frustrating and annoying when people from out of the U.S. act like the fans in the U.S. have it so easy. That is not the case for everybody in America. If it were "so easy," Caesars Palace would be filled with wall-to-wall people from all over America, every slot machine would be taken, and the company wouldn't be going bankrupt.

March 7, 2015 at 06:45 PM

I'm sorry, but this is entirely untrue. Not to make further sweeping generalizations, but Europeans and most non-Americans have FAR more lenient vacation time than Americans do. I'm not a fan of destination concerts in general, but I'd much rather spend time traveling to somewhere new I haven't been before than go to Las Vegas with my few vacation days time after time. I've already been fortunate enough to go several times for Celine, but I don't do it for anyone else, and even Celine I didn't manage to see as much as if she had been traveling elsewhere. Vegas residencies just aren't practical as a concert option with a very few exceptions.

I never went to Vegas for Shania because I only go when Celine is performing, and of course they aren't both performing there at the same time. The choice is obvious, no matter how much I might still enjoy seeing Shania. I also really like her as she was one of my first concerts after Celine's, but I know who I'd choose to spend more of my money on any day.

March 7, 2015 at 07:14 PM

What's everyone's verdict on shania's dvd then? I've only watched the first few songs but her name at the back of the stage looks great. And that has got to be one of the best stage entrances ever!

March 7, 2015 at 10:14 PM

I was very impressed with the stage entrance. I'm not going to give anything away for the people that haven't seen the show, but the entrance is bad #ss!

I didn't think I would love Shania's show so much, but after watching her Vegas concert on dvd I have to say it was pretty amazing. I was really impressed and enjoyed it alot. There were so many cool special effects. Her show is very different. Shania took her show beyond just being a concert. It was really an experience.

I can't imagine how the people in the audience must have felt to see the concert in person, but from my television it was pretty amazing. Now I wish I traveled to Vegas to see Shania's show in person. I can't even imagine how amazing it would have been to see that show live! Darn it.

I can't believe though that at know point in Celine or Shania's shows that they never went to see each others acts. I wonder why. One of them or both could have easily made the time to see each others show. To my knowledge, the only show Celine actually made time to see was Elton John's show.

I wonder why. I guess with being around music all the time Celine probably doesn't want to go watch a musical act. I'm sure she enjoys it a little bit, but it must not be the number one thing on her list, that's for sure. I understand that. I think I would feel the same way if performing and being around music was my whole life.

I like singing, but to sing on stage all the time, day in and day out, it would get a little boring and repetitive after awhile. I don't want to say that I would grow to hate it after awhile, but I'm sure Celine must sometimes have a love hate relationship with music. It's like when you love pizza or any food. If you eat pizza everyday, eventually it gets dull after awhile.

I know that Celine still has a huge passion for music and of course she loves performing for her fans, but I'm just trying to see things from Celine's perspective. I was trying to figure out why she doesn't really go and see other people's shows. If feel like she probably doesn't want to go watch someone sing, when all she does all the time is sing.

Everyone needs a break from there job. Singing is Celine's job and even if she goes to a concert and she's sitting there watching it and not singing, it probably feels like she's hanging out at work watching a co worker. I know it wouldn't always feel like that, but for the most part when she's really busy and has alot of performances, I'm sure it would probably feel that way.

Right now she's relaxing and not performing at all, so I bet she would have alot of fun if she went to a concert right now while she's not surrounded with music and a busy schedule.

March 7, 2015 at 10:44 PM

Celine has been to other people's shows though, just not necessarily in Vegas. Is she even in Las Vegas the entire time when she's not performing?

And Celine and Shania make different music, so why would we assume that she is a big Shania fan just because they were both Canadian? I'm sure they have respect for each other, but each other's music just might not be to their own musical taste. I get the feeling that outside of her performances, Celine spends a lot of her time on her kids and Rene's interests, such as golfing, which leaves less time for her to just go off on her own and do other things that might interest her. That's something everyone deals with as they have families and get older, so I don't think we should read anything into it that she didn't make time to attend Shania's show.

March 8, 2015 at 05:24 PM

I saw Shania in Vegas. I was 10th row centre stage and I can tell you it was one on the most amazing concert experiences that I have ever had. Everything about the production amazing. I am so happy they captured this on DVDS as it's great to have it to watch. It's exactly as I remember it. To see From the Moment in person was incredible. For me that was the highlight of the show.

Just watched the dvd. Amazing. From start to finish, the songlist, the staging, the imagery - just brilliant. So sad I never saw this in person, but so glad I've got the dvd. Come on Celine, you need to top this. I know you can! Lol

For Celine to top Shania's show, she would have to actually get her hands dirty, and be more involved in the business and creative side of things than she has been in the past. I view Shania as an artist; Celine as an entertainer.

March 8, 2015 at 10:00 PM

Did celine see Cher show at one point,

March 8, 2015 at 10:53 PM

Shania went to see Céline and Elton at one point, but something rare happened: both Céline and Elton cancelled their shows, so Shania in the end wasn't able to see those shows (you can also see a bit of this in the 'Backstage Pass' documentary on the DVD). I believe Shania's husband Fred did get to see Céline's show a little while later, but Shania didn't go with him if I remember correctly.

Did celine see Cher show at one point,

Yes Céline went to Cher's show and they met backstage

March 9, 2015 at 12:01 AM

So, I decided to revist "The Complete Limelight Sessions" today. "Wild And Wicked" would have been PERFECT for Las Vegas. I know, I know. That part of her career is one she'd probably wish would just go away, but I do love a few songs from that era.

March 9, 2015 at 12:32 PM

I can't believe we're having this conversation. What's your problem?

you forgot to mention that there are poor people in Las Vegas itself who can't afford to see her but that NOT the point!

I simply wrote that if she goes on tour for the very first time in yeaaaaaaaars and if it is meant to be her last one, she should do some international dates cause regardless of financial situation, it was easier for American fans to see her over 2 years period because the distance even from Boston is closer than any other destination in Europe/Africa/Asia or Australia. Even a few hundreds from around the world coming to Vegas don't count for me comparing to thousands from the US. Even if they did, now with this tour American fans once again are more privileged. And there is nothing bad about it. Good for all of them. It'd be just nice to see her on other continents!

where can i order via the internet? i can't find this dvd in Hong Kong.

March 11, 2015 at 01:42 PM

It should be on amazon

March 26, 2015 at 11:23 PM

Going to see Shania in July in Pittsburgh! Section 5 on the floor! So excited! Anyone else going to see her on tour?

April 18, 2015 at 12:19 PM

I can't stop listening to Shania's live CD! It sounds so good.

It's interesting that they lowered the key on most of the songs, usually by 1 semitone. Before her long break, the only song she ever sang lower in concert was Forever And For Always (-2), although in her 2003 acoustic 'Up! Close & Personal' TV special, they did lower 8 of the songs by 2 semitones.

Here are the Vegas keys for anyone who is interested:

I'm Gonna Getcha Good! (-1)

You Win My Love (-1)

Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You) (-1)

Up! (-1)

I Ain't No Quitter (+1)

No One Needs to Know (-1)

Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under? (-1)

Any Man of Mine (-1)

That Don't Impress Me Much (0)

Honey, I'm Home (0)

(If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here! (0)

Come on Over (-2/-3, no key changes in this version)

Love Gets Me Every Time (-1)

Rock This Country! (-1)

Today Is Your Day (0)

You're Still the One (-1)

From This Moment On (-1)

Man! I Feel Like a Woman! (0)

I'm spending 48 hours in Montreal to see her!! I have an amazing seat in the 5th row in the centre block, so I have the stage in front of me and the catwalk to my left. I am sooo excited :w00t:

It's a good thing it's not a cassette as I'd have worn it out already. I am always listening to it.

So jealous. I wish she had dates east of Montreal, but I guess since she came to PEI last year then decided not to come this way.

April 18, 2015 at 07:33 PM

I wanted even to buy the cd+dvd version but in Poland we have only CD, so I haven't purchased it yet
