Also, the acapella introduction is one of the best ideas ever! I hope they won't drop CNQR in Paris! It's extraordinary!

ya that was a really cool way to start the show!!! :wub:

She wasn't on stage for that song. She sang it backstage. It was WOW :wub:

July 28, 2013 at 06:44 PM

I would have kill someone to be there! gosh some people,,,,,

July 28, 2013 at 06:49 PM

Surprised no one mentioned her earpiece came off during the start of the song.

I updated the first post with the set list, LMBTL and recorded stream link.

Is there a longer video with the ending?

People cant be quiet anymore. I have been to too many concerts in the last few years where people around me just keep babling on :pinch: wtf! If yoy pay big bucks for a concert dont you wanna hear the person playing?! :ranting:

July 28, 2013 at 07:04 PM

You want to know why people were talking? Because most of the songs she performs today they have heard her sing them like a gazillion times :innocent: . Look at the segment of Je danse dans ma tête/Des mots qui sonnent/Incognito and they were paying attention. I'm sure they were like hey, these are songs she used to sing many years ago, I want to listen them again!. Just look when she performed the new english single, people were screaming in joy for what they were seeing. Because its something totally NEW. Then they pay attention.

However, when songs like Dans un autre monde, J'irai ou tu iras, Destin arrive, it's like "again those? She's been performing these non-stop in all her concerts since the album release!" Besides, the shadow of Les Plaines concert of 2008 was pretty recent in the air, and people remember what she sang that time. The audience realizes the difference when she includes a new song that wasn't performed in 2008 and when they are seeing again the same songs over and over again. Audience looks for "what's new" all the time, and certainly the old songs from Plamondon and Je crois toi were like the cherry on the top of the cake in this event.

Just kidding (and not...). But honestly I believe people pays much more attention when she sings unusual songs than when they see her perform again Destin for the umpteenth time.

I know, still, you paid big bucks for being there, is not like we see Celine in Quebec giving concerts every single day...shut it and enjoy!

Hi!

Was at the show yesterday. Amazing! Leaved Montreal at 13 :00. I arrived with my friends at 17 :00 (went to have dinner before), was ok, not much people. Lines for the hot dogs were long! Was in Section C, the view was not good at all, watch the whole concert on the big screens. Next time on the plaines : completely at the back on the hill. Cheaper and nicer! Was my first show on the Plaines! Really nice park, the Central Park of Quebec City.

First part of Jean-Marc Couture and Star Académie was a little boring. Didn’t like it. The guy was clearly too much nervous. The girl from La Voix was nice but her stage presence (ok… the stage is like the biggest in North America) was not good. Went from 20 :00 to 20 :35.

Celine starts at 21 :25 with Ce n’était qu’un rêve accapella. Good voice! Dans un autre monde was good, but the song is becoming the LCMM of french songs… She looked and sounded great. At times, the sound was too low (her mic sound or speakers?) but overwall it was good! Stage is huuuuuuuge! Selection of songs were good, the songs who had the best reception were Je n’ai pas besoin d’amour, the power of love, all by myself, s’il suffisait d’aimer. Her medley of Je danse dans ma tête-Mots qui sonnent-Incognito was pretty amazing too. Her new english song is amazing, she killed it. 2 hours of non stoping Celine singing. Stage lighting and effects were good too!

I saw the Taking Chances tour in Montreal and Celine… une seule fois is 10x better : voice is better, songs and no dead time. Sometimes, it felt a little rushed cause she talked like only 2-3 times about 1-2 minutes each. She was freezing on the stage, we could clearly see it.

My favorites : Terre (she clearly loves to perform that song), Je n’ai pas besoin d’amour (best song of Sans Attendre) , All by myself (crowd singing all the time), Loved me back to life (a major hit).

Overall : 10/10. Will go see her again! And my friends too! A really good concert.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english, I only speak french (english a little in high school).

See ya!

Hear hear! Exactly, its becoming boring now. I hope she realizes soon before this one gets also to our nerves like LCMM does!

Nice review glade you had a great time! And your English is great !

^ jav I sometimes wonder if its the bands fault why she only sings the same uptempo songs, because the band ruin many great upbeat songs so she sticks with what they can do I suppose!

I'm sure LMBTL had a backing track along with instruments and celine sang over the top! No way did her band create those effects! Wish they did his for shadow of love!

You've got a point there Kev! Maybe it's not their strong point, but you answered with the key for that: use backing tracks! That's what they should have done when performing TTWII for example, a song they never got to do properly live because they cannot emulate the album version. But that's what backing tracks are for!

July 28, 2013 at 09:21 PM

Was it me or ABM was the same track from Memphis and so on?

Yeah..TTWIT was NEVER a good song to sing live...

July 28, 2013 at 09:26 PM

Yes, you can clearly hear a backing track for the new song but that´s ok, it makes it sound better (and that is why everybody use those kind of tracks for most of their songs on stage).

July 28, 2013 at 09:37 PM

Was it me or ABM was the same track from Memphis and so on?

Yeah..TTWIT was NEVER a good song to sing live...

Yeah the only time I ever saw TTWII performed live in the original key was at The Early Show in 2002, video below. You can kinda see why they never attempted it again to be honest......

Can you tell me the single which is in the end of the 2nd row in ur signature?

July 28, 2013 at 10:09 PM

And what song goes by this picture?

Love peace signs.

July 28, 2013 at 10:11 PM

That was when she was performing "Le Miracle."

July 28, 2013 at 10:12 PM

Erm I kinda love that performance lol

Backing tracks all the way! Maybe they will have to now if her new album has this new sound or its gonna sound terrible!

That's not taking anything from the band btw they are very good but album tracks now are so electronic that bands don't match to the original recording that people love the way it was recorded

I'd never been so disappointed than with SOL my fab from TC, just happy she at least performed it

Kev x

July 28, 2013 at 10:13 PM

She looks so happy and charismatic while singing Le Miracle. I think that's because of all the ballons and she must have been proud after she sang Loved me back to life

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEW0ouNgIRE&feature=youtube_gdata_player

July 28, 2013 at 10:19 PM

I love that performance too Kev but you could see Celine was uncomfortable towards the end of the song and that's probably why we never saw it in the original key again.

July 28, 2013 at 10:28 PM

And who else that went to the show was creeped out at the end when we were all leaving to the sound of little children singing on repeat the melody of Le Miracle : "nananana nanananana, nanananana, nanananananana" NON-Stop!

Sooooo creepy!!

All i wanted was to have a gun, so i could shoot the speakers. Lol

Surprised no one mentioned her earpiece came off during the start of the song.

I've never understood how that works, ,and why it's such a big deal when she can't hear thru it (e.g. Dance with my Father at the Grammy's). Why can't Celine hear what everyone else hears . .why does she need the earpiece to let her know how it sounds? Do all the musicians play with earpieces?

I think because the speakers are always facing to the audience so singers can't really tell what they are sounding like. One of the reasons she likes singing in showers. Why she takes it out..idk I have wondered that too. Maybe it was too loud?

All singers use them it helps block out the background noise and let's them hear themselves so much better. It helps keep them on pitch and key when singing (notice she kinda went off pitch a bit in LMBTL)
