Céline Dion À L'Olympia appreciation thread

[Celine Fan 77]

I decided to create this new topic about the Live à l'Olympia album from 1994 because , while watching a documentary about Celine that I have on DVD, I noticed that they show really short videos of her performing at the Olympia theatre. Here's a screencap where she seems to be performing The power of love:

That looks like it could be from 'The Colour of my Love' concert? Looks like the same clothes she wore in that show, and her hair is also the same:confused: I could be wrong.

The Olympia concerts were part of the TCOML tour! She wore the same outfit as the TCOML concert.

I asked the same the other day when I saw that screencap in the spanish section taken from the Biography special they shown in the spanish TV. But is that really from the Olympia concerts?? What more songs do they show? Because Aurora said that this special is in the multimedia section (the english version obviously) but nobody said a word about Olympia scenes...

She was wearing a black dress while singing The power of love at The colour of my love Concert.

Yes, you are right, think she was wearing the black dress

The only video I ever saw from this were the rehearsals.

Oh what a video gem, thanks, I had never seen this.

 

Maybe it was the same clip, but i also remember watching a francophone docu where they showed a very short clip of her in an actual Olympia Concert (or at least we discussed about it), though i don't know if it was from Québec or France. I'd say Québec. It was shared on the forum of course (via Youtube), not so long ago. I think it was for a special event of a tv channel (TVA? I'm not sure) , and they took out some things from their old records. I don't recall anything else about it.

Did you know that Marc Dupré was the opening act at Celine's concerts at the Olympia in 1994?

[Timster]

Yes, he must have been about 21 at the time. There's a picture of Celine standing outside the Olympia in the ONCP booklet, you can see Marc's name written above hers.

Anyway It's a pity there's no dvd of this concert with the full setlist as it happens with "Au coeur du stade".What is Sony thinking about?

 

There are some concerts which must be released in dvd: Olympia, Concert of Expo Seville Spain 1992, Falling into you tour or Unison concert.

 

I hope some day Sony will release a dvd box with concerts as has recently done with Barbra Streisand.

When Celine visited us in 1992, she just performed two songs: If you asked me to & Carmen; I can tell you that because my grandparents where at the audience.

[romarsa]

Then a concerto of 1992 tour if it's recorded.

 

Thanks for the information.

[Terre]

Thanks for the video, JP! I absolutely love soundcheck footage. I don't think I've seen the video before but the interview part seemed kinda familiar.

Montreal au rhytme des Amériques Concert:

 

Nothing broken but my heart & Le blues du businessman

Beauty and the Beast & Love can move mountains

 

 

Celine Dion Tour:

 

 

Benefit concert in Miami:

 

 

 

These are (I think) all the videos that we have from the Celine Dion Tour period.

[Alex_Incognito]

Mon Dieu! I've never seen that before! What a fantastic treat! Very fun to watch, her interviews back then were much more interesting.

[CelineDionFan710]

so kool

OMG thanks for posting these Carlos! I had almost forgotten those extremely rare performances!

 

This was before Céline became a singing robot onstage :confused Where has gone this freshness? Only these songs can bring back again the spontaneous Céline that she was once (before TPOL, IACBTMN, BYLM and MHWGO arrived!)

[Julian]

wow thanks for all the links

Oh... my... God... Wow... just wow... Thank you so much for the links!

[Celine Fan 77]

Glad you liked them! , but let's try to focus on the Olympia album again.

 

As we know, the concert was filmed on video, and it was expected to be released in late 1995; but the release was cancelled and replaced by the commercially succesful Live à Paris home video.

 

My question is: Is there something we can do to make this concert by released on DVD? I don't know, maybe if each and every single one of us sends a message to Sony Music or whoever is responsible of its release with our request, we could get it.

 

 

What do you guys think?

[romarsa]

Thanks Celine fan 77 for the information, I didn't know it was going to be released though I imagined it was recorded since the audio was recorded and all céline live cds have had a correponding and extended version on dvd or vhs sucha as "live a Paris" and "Au coeur du stade".

 

Isn't there a mail of Sony or Céline's team to send our suggestions to Céline career? I'd like this concert and others to be released on dvd.

[Celine Fan 77]

That's what I'm saying, I mean, I'm sure they'll start seriously thinking about releasing the DVD if a lot of fans ask them to do so.

One of the new features the official site offers is the possibility of a greater interaction and participation of the fans. I once opened here a thread for a petition to ask Céline's team to release her albums on vinyl format, but it was inmediately closed (and deleted I think) So I desisted from asking people to join and create petitions to ask Céline and her team for this special requests from us.

 

I've always believed that the main problem for not having the songs we want in Céline's concerts, the kind of singles we want (and whatever release you think in the end) etc is the poor communication between Céline and her fans (if there's some).

 

In the new website there's a forum and we can create threads to ask these things, if there's people who are interested in it, I will join for sure

Nice idea Javito, but I was thinking about something more direct, because, your idea is great, but, if we created a thread on that forum, it would be deleted like they did with the one you created or otherwise the people who deleted your thread would say Oh yeah, poor they..., 'cause I don't consider those people exactly the most active people on the planet.

 

I was thinking about e-mailing the really important people, the people from Sony Music or Columbia and ask them about this. If only one fan or two do this, they won't even consider the posibility of releasing the concert on DVD, but, if all 150 or 200 people ask them to do so, they'll think about this for sure. I know that it won't be easy, I think we'll have to keep this thread active for a month more or less and then start sending e-mails to the people from Sony Music.

The thread was closed and deleted in this forum actually

[Celine Fan 77]

Oh yeah , then, I remember that thread. I don't know, maybe they deleted it because there's nothing we can do about what you said there or nobody suggested anything interesting as we are doing here.

[Yakir]

Yeah, I agree with some people here too, Its probably form "The Colour of My Love" Concert at Montreal, The live show at l'Olympia never released a video (It should be released but it canceled) only as live album.

I saw this ducomentry from BIO. Channel and they maybe search a year or moment about the show from 93-5's the easy way to take it, it's from The Colour of My Love Concert offical tape.

But thanks for uploading this

It's not from The colour of my love Concert because the band wasn't so close to Celine.
