"The Colour of My Love" Tour - Official Topic

[Dion2000]

 

 

You know, no matter if she sang in playback those two nights or not, she's never sung again like that since then... 1995 shows in Paris comes close, but she hasn't been able to beat the flexibility, flourish and grace notes and crystal clear vocals of those nights at the Olympia ever again. Sorry!

 

 

 

So now we go from straight denial of actual fact... To trying to make a point as if youre some sort of philosopher when i literally made that point a few hours ago which you completely bypassed and tried to attack me on another point lol.

 

 

And once again.... Wasnt 2002 her vocal peak Javier... You were very VOCAL about that not so long ago

[Tyler1991]

 

 

 

I mean if we really think about it, she had been touring from the age of what ? 15 ? And from 1983-1991 she didnt lip a NOTE. Like i mean the winter gardens show is just.... DEVINE

 

 

And i dont know... werent both of the first lipped performances of IYAMT and WDMHBN performed AFTER the tour ?

 

There isn't really a whole lot of footage from this tour to support what is said. Just inferences based on what sounds like it would make sense. Lol. A bootleg clip from one show of did you give enough love. A TV special comprising of LCMM (amazing performance), BATB, nothing broken but my heart, and le blues du businessman.

 

It just seems to me if those two (wdmhbn/iyamt) playbacks were ready before the other three (oor, misled. Tpol) it must be for a reason. Most likely because they were used prior.

 

I've also just done some digging. Turns out the charity gala 1992 wdmhbn performance was also from the tour stop in miami july 30 1992. It is the usual playback.

 

There is also a separate lcmm clip somewhere!!

 

Who knows if other playbacks in this tour and tcoml exist without us knowing?? I love this time period of her voice SO MUCH MORE than 1996-1999 where everyone tends to overrate. Release a live vinyl of the tour!!! Something new or rare besides the same re-releases.

Again this shows how you interpret things your own way: I never said 2002 was her vocal peak, I did say 2002 was probably the best year of her career in terms of popularity, worldwide recognition and album promotion because she was literally e-very-where and requested to be everywhere around the world, on all TV shows, awards, galas, radios and magazines. So that's what I said, which has nothing to do with her voice condition. Which was spectacular by the way.

 

But now that you say about vocals, I do believe 2002 was by far one of the best years of her voice, because she was rested and came from a 2-year hiatus with almost no activity so her voice was in TOP shape. But I'll never say 2002 was the best year of her voice because nothing can beat the 1994-1996 period.

 

Was 2002 the last year of best vocals in this century? Undoubtedly yes. I have no doubts. Since 2003, her voice has been changing and deteriorating thanks to the abuse and overexposure of what we all know

Okay, I see TPOL and DMQS in the Montreal forum sound the same as in the Olympia. It saddens me to see that even when she was at the peak of her voice, she resorts to playback use even when she didn't need to

 

It's not that she needs to prove anything at that time, but performing in playback from the start of the show the opening song in the Olympia hall, with all the history and what that concert venue means for many singers around the world, it's a bit insulting and embarrassing

 

Disappointed

 

Thank God we know what she's able to do with her voice still.

You do realise how difficult it is to go and sing a 16-18 song set list, night after night and 100% live ESPECIALLY considering how difficult her songs are, even at her peak. I mean she slayed TPOL in her prime but you could tell it was far from easy for her to do, especially the big note.

 

And if were going there, you do realise almost every single artist on the planet lip syncs AT LEAST once in every show... like its been shown that many opera shows and musical theatre productions feature moderate use of playback as its so difficult to go out and perform for 90 minutes without a hitch, travelling day after day to different places, not including the factors of how everyones voice changes day to day.

 

Another factor is that when you have a hit, especially a world wide one like The Power Of Love, people have high expectations of what it should sound like and when it doesnt sound almost exactly like the studio, they complain and moan.

 

None of this matters anyway, she slayed DSMQ LIVE in 2013 at USF and she sounded amazing. weve all seen that rehersal clip from 2017 where she did part of The Power Of Love live without the playback and she sounded INSANE. We all know Celine can do stuff like this, if she was going out and only doing The Power Of Love and DSMQ then she would sing them live no problem but its so difficult to do what she does and sometimes we forget that because she makes it look so effortless, i have to check myself sometimes if im annoyed that she used playback because its just that hard.

 

 

Rant over lol sorry for all the typing

 

 

And btw.... 2011 was better than 2002 tee hee (my opinion obv, 2002 was iconic)

Omg could you just agree to not agree or whatever, or take you conversations private?

Also, she started to use playback right after she lost her voice on stage and had to stop speaking for three weeks (in 1991 or 1992).

 

The playback thing is to make sure it never happen again.

[Tyler1991]

Where is that

 

 

I think the user also had nothing broken but my heart from the same show.

 

Ive heard a rumored water from the moon exists from bootleg but have never personally seen it.

 

 

these clips are from the September 6th show in Gatineau.

 

The lbdb/lcmm/nbbmh/batb clips are from the august 15th show. I have found 2 of the four on youtube but can't find lcmm or batb so i will reupload later if i can locate which i should be able to.

I LOVE NBBMH SO MUCH

[mirage]

Ooowh thank you!!

 

I would give everything for a show with these old songs

In my opinion, she resorts to playback just for the songs that she is fed up of or the songs that are hard to perform even in a lower key. Or to give her voice a rest perhaps? She doesn't use playback for her French repertoire.

[CelinesDIVO5]

Idk if this is from the same show Tyler was posting about, but here is NBBMH and LBDB

 

[comingback]

I was glad someone reposted it without me having to drag out my external drive and upload it. Lol

[mirage]

Oooh if only we would get some live images from this.

She sounds amazing!

 

TCOML

 

RDMH has the David Letterman performance sound, love it! That song changed so much over the years.

 

Did we knew there was a bootleg from this show, or is this new for all of us? Wonder why it after all these years came out.

Can you imagine what's out there collecting dust?

[Tyler1991]

Wow, what a show. This was the first show in 3 months and only the second in five months. This is peak Celine at her most rested.

 

The can't help falling in love performance is simply unreal. Both big notes as well as really that entire performance are perfect. Way better than the official release we got. I love hearing the fans in this recording and how they respond just the same as they did in 2018 on the lines "shall i stay?" "Would it be a sin?"

 

Think twice...been wanting a full live length tour arrangement for this since the three best performances are with a choppy studio instrumental ending. Loved the adlibs at the end, loved the "no's" ...way better than falling into you tour.

 

Rdmh, calling you, and tcoml are also top notch. Rdmh has that same energy of letterman. The chesty f5 bridge was the best thing we've heard from that song outside of letterman if im being honest.

 

Calling you is a song that is pretty indicative of her vocal state whether tired or not and here you can really tell how rested she is. This song sounds phenomenal here.

 

Tcoml is just simply beautiful. She is really feeling it and singing to Rene. That ending note too... Batb even sounds fresh, perhaps because it's the earliest performance we have with terry bradford??

:spaz:

 

It is so amazing to finally hear a full TCOML tour concert! It's definitely mind blowing! Her voice is so so strong. I do think her vocal peak was 1994-1995. Of course the rest of the 90's were strong too, but she performed so much, of course that had an effect on her voice.

 

All the songs sound fresh and new! Also PQTME! The ease she sings that song with! All the extra ad lips are amazing, and I love the way she plays with TCOML! I was thinking... it probably was The Hague, May 27th that she last sung TCOML live until 2017! I said it before, I'll say it again, that was not even 10 minutes from my home and I missed that!! it will haunt me for ever!!

 

RDMH still sounds a bit Tina like, she deffo made it 'her' song over the years! And I also liked the big family and curry speeches. I do think it's the earliest recording with Terry on BATB, but I also think it's the only recording we have of them singing WIFIL together! He wasn't bad y'all, he wasn't bad. And of course finally hearing ETMBD live like that is a dream come true! OOR was awesome too and you'd hear from the crowd's reaction that TT was her biggest song at that time!

 

It's a shame though, wiki said L'amour existe encore, Je danse dans ma tête and Unison were performed too... but it seems they weren't because this sounds like a full concert, without any cuts. Maybe they were only performed in Canada, but not outside.

[Alex_Incognito]

OMG!!!!! I cannot believe it!!!!

[Celine Fan 77]

I can’t believe somebody finally posted this!! 😍 This bootleg has so many incredible surprises, right now I’m listening to Only One Road (full song in concert for the very first time!)

[mbruni897]

I found this show almost by luck and it was very hard to get it because the gentleman who shared it with me wanted something in return

[mirage]

So it was known that this bootleg was out there?

Any other gems you have found?
