Taking Chances World Tour CD/DVD Release Thread

[Timster]

I don't see why some people are so moody about a mixed concert. It means whether you are English-speaking or French-speaking you are getting the best vocals and concert footage out of 4 concerts rather than 2!!

 

Anyway half the DVD is still different!!!

If what you said was true, it wouldn't be so bad, but it's not the case. The weakest performance of the four for IAMW is what we got. For RDMH, we got a great performance, but it wasn't the strongest of the four. By no means was the best chosen out of the four.

 

And if you are ordering BOTH concerts, than regardless of it if's mixed or not you're going to hear that "best out of four shows vocal" at least once on one of the DVDs...we'd like to hear the "second best" on the other DVD....rather than "the best" on both.

I completely agree. You just cant make some people happy. :/ I think its all great. If the intro is cut I will be dissapointed but I wont be so dissapointed I dont get the dvd's.

I am dissapointed in how nasally she sounds, they should have found a way to edit that or something, aside from that I think everything is great, including the cover.

yes the second best ;-)

some performances of alone were amazing, we wanted to hear all the differences etc.

not just for alone, but for all her 'live' english songs

Yeah some vocals who appears that have been pre-recorded in the studio? Come on...

 

Timster, I'm sure that nearly all the members who are in this forum are willing to buy both versions of the concert (or at least they will try), both Céline in english and also in french, and I'm sure nearly all won't want to be pissed off with the same english performances in the 2 dvd's they will buy That's a joke to us. They had plenty and more stuff where to choose.

 

Moreover, if we are talking about pre-recorded vocals, why she couldn't do it again for the french version? I mean if she pre-recorded the vocals of the english songs she performed in Vegas, why she couldn't record them again for the french version for a different day selection of performances? Hadn't they enough material? Didn't they talk of more than 1,000 hours of reel? It's completely absurd as you see

[celine81]

Let's remember that the majority of people buying these DVDs will only have one version, therefore the comparisons are irrelevent surely!

 

Sony would have had to have taken each song from loads of different cities to create the best concert collection! Therefore damned if they do and damned if they don't! With what they've chosen maybe it's been done for the purposes of continuity!

 

Let's celebrate the release, if I was Sony I probably wouldn't bother if all of the so called loyal fans are just going to assasinate every part if the release!

 

Thank god they don't have to release something from whitneys latest tour.......

[fan2celinedion]

The tracks are the same on the movie!

And yes i am not grateful "my love" didn't need a lot of autotune and the "i got you" on the soul medley made me seek

Celine sing it better than that!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I thought IAMW was great. I didn't realise there were better performances from Boston/Montreal. Maybe they had better close-up footage during the "bad" performance so that's why it was chosen for the DVD/CD.

and someone even thought it's me upload the songs there but no...

[Jacqui]

What really frightens me right now is how some of you guys are bashing this release and Celine's vocals, while the DVD has only been released in Australia and they are not even awake yet...

 

Haha so true, I just woke up and the shops aren't even open yet!!

I don't get why you guys are picking this apart, we waited so long for it, can't you just enjoy it? I'm not planning to watch and be like "Ooh is this live? Which city is it from?" And if those thoughts enter my head, I'm gonna blame all of you!

Actually, I'm way more excited for TTEOTW than the concert DVD anyway.

[Celinefanatic07]

Wait, so is that full section cut? She doesn't sing any of "I Drove All Night" in the intro? Or they just cut out where she says "Is That Alright Boston"?

 

Basically they've cut everything except the lines in bold:

 

I drove all night, to get to you

Is that alright?

 

I drove all night, to get to you

Is that alright?

 

Is that alright Boston?

I can't hear you, is that alright Boston?

 

:angry2: :angry2: :angry2:

 

 

Are you telling me they cut out the opening video?

[Javito]

TLYM: I cannot being to describe how incredibly refreshing it is to hear a new version of TLYM. It's nice to listen to again. The old track heard too many times just feels plain and booring and nothing new but the way people applaud. Now it's like hearing it almost for the first time again, it get's exiting and you pay attention and you feel the song again. Love how she sings "touch me once again, and remember when" in a slightly different way than before. However, and I can't believe I am saying this but, the audience is too distant. It feels like a studio recording to which they've added applauds as intro and outro. I hate hearing the audience dominate on the bootleg recordings, but here they're far too absent.

:w00t: Does it sounds good?? I can't wait for that, TLYM is one of the songs with which I discovered her, and one of my ever favourite ballads New recordings of this and other songs are really making me impatient to watch the DVD

[fan2celinedion]

The acapella part she sings live before the playback starts!

[SuperLove4Celine]

Here are my packshots, the releases look really great! (Sorry but I didn't have time to do better pics)

 

DVD/CDs: http://web.t-online.hu/chabby/tcwt.jpg

 

TTEOTW DVD: http://web.t-online.hu/chabby/tteotw.jpg

 

 

It also says "Love Can Move Mountain" on the back cover

 

They've also omitted "You" in "We Will Rock YOU." It currently states "We Will Rock." Nice way to handle a supposed tribute.

[Celinefanatic07]

Quite Frankly, I DO NOT CARE what is cut, I'm just overjoyed about a 3 HOUR MOVIE & A DVD/CD showing up on my doorstep in 12 days! And I don't know why you people pay attention to live/not live...it all sounded live to me. Plus I don't pay attention to that nonsense, I'm focused on seeing my hero performing, and the incredible songs that I'm groovin' to. And going wild over ALL THE EXTRA'S WE GET!

Well, even though some may complain it's false and all I think it's very OK. There are some moments which sounds a bit off, and some may call it to be all over the place. But I am happy with it being a new version. Just as with TPOL it breathes new life into the song. I don't think you will be disappointed.

The answer do that question I do not know. I have only heard this song through youtube.

[Belle Céline]

I like the TTEOTW intro but you figure on the english version they could change the spelling of Columbus. Its spelled Colombus in the intro I know thats how its spelled on SLP too because the list of cities scene is the same in it.

 

I know! I'm kinda angry that they misspelled not only the State Capital of my home state OHIO , but also the first of TWO TC concerts that I saw Celine in.

I think thats the way its spelled in french/canada because thats how its on the SLP intro

 

So wait, is We will rock you and the show must go on not on the dvds or cd?

[fan2celinedion]

On the Cd!

[bruno_oliveira]

this topic will have a gazillion fans in 5...4....3....2.....

Indeed. To me TSMGO is way more "important" than IAMW.

 

/fred

[fan2celinedion]

Tsmgo is way more important than the soul medley or the mego flamenco

[Tyler1991]

Regardless of whether or not it was more important than IAMW, it was certainly 4334530283 times more important than New Mego's Flamenco, the Intro, and the soul medley. Those three tracks were worthless for the CD.

 

And if they were jus going to take the best footage from the four shows and make a DVD...why couldn't they have done it with all 132 shows and advertise it as such....it would be a great way for us to get the 10-12 songs which were rarely performed/only performed in certain places.

[Claudette]

Yeah what the hell is up with that soul medley? Last time I check the DVD was called ''Celine Dion: The Concert'', not ''Barnev: The Concert''. Edited April 29, 2010 at 10:48 PM by Claudette

Yes but I chose to address IAMW since this song is quite equal to TSMGO in terms of it being the climax of a medley. And somehow I felt that if they felt the need to have one of these medleys on the cd for the sake of its "dramaturgy" the soul medley deprived the Queen tribute of the spot on the cd. Frankly I couldn't care less about the first half of the Queen medley but TSMGO is a really important piece of the concert.

 

Indeed the other tracks you've mentioned are of course way below TSMGO in importance as well, but yea I addressed IAMW for the reason mentioned above.

Yea, said this many times.

Well this is in fact one of the reasons why I wont mourn IYA, since I was never to eager about Barnev's mini concert.
