Céline Dion À L'Olympia appreciation thread


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Just completed my Celine Dion albums collection. It will have taken me 15 years lol.

 

So I just bought and received "Dion Chante Plamondon". (well I had Oxygen, QQJAQQMA, LAEEncore, LBDB and DMQS from itunes and On Ne Change Pas)

 

Is it just me or the music and celine's quality voice are much, much better in her live concert album "Céline à l'Olympia" than the studio album?

 

Or maybe its because i've had Celine à L'Olympia for the past 13ish years and that i'm just use to those versions.

^ I think her voice sounds stronger in a L'olympia than the album version. :yes:

Quand on n'a que l'amour sounds stunning and strong!

Here are some unreleased photos that I found in eBay from the Olympia concert (not 100% sure, but 99,9%!)

 

OMG just put these pictures and those gestures in video... it has to be orgasmic! :in_love: :in_love: :in_love

Oh Gosh, it's the first time I see these photos! Celine looks very nice in them!

 

Her hair there was starting to look like in the D'eux era.

Yes Carlos, you see how this works, if Sony doesn't care to release new "old" things, we still get some surprises from time to time ^_^ This is the closest idea we can have about the Olympia concert in pictures, next with the booklet ones :thumbsup2:

Maybe for the album photoshoot only, because for the promo she cut her hair. It was really short! :laugh:

I have heard, but do not own, Al Olympia. I have this funny quirk about being able to hear live albums, I think it has something to do with the fact that I want that to be me or something like that. I only can hear live albums through headphones as I do find the fans' love of her so inspiring.

I do want to get this one though. And I love love love Dion chante Plemendon!

Is there a studio version of Al Olympia that I don't have/know about?

If you can only own 1 live album from Celine, it has to be this one. It IS her best. I don't care what anyone says.

Well you should own it. It is truly the best live album of Celine. Seriously her voice is so great that without the applauses and talking you would swear its studio recorded. Its that good. TC live and Live in Vegas are nothing compared to Olympia. I actually forbid people to buy Live in Vegas; this album was a mistake. I wouldn't be surprised if Rene and Celine didnt listen to it before the release. Sorry :ermm:

 

It's one of the albums I don't have... I need it right now !!! :yes:

yes, pronto

In my opinion, the performance of Le blues du businessman from the Live à Paris is more powerful than the one from the Olympia show, but the rest of the concert from 1994 is definitely much better than the 1995 one.

After many years I finally decided to listen to this album again last night and I'm in awe!

 

How could I have forgotten what a masterpiece this is?!

 

I love the tracklist and Celine was simply FLAWLESS. After quite some time I caught myself thinking again 'My God, what a voice!'.

 

Don't get wrong, I have listened to this album many times before, but I guess I never really appreaciated it to the extent it deserves.

 

MASTERPIECE.

1992-1995 were her best years vocally in my opinion. She sounded like buttered brioche.

Can't wait to get home to listen to it on repeat until I'm sick of it.

I don't like to get sick of things. And I'm sorry, but to me her best years are still in/ahead of her. Well, after a long time I finally do own this album. It is amazing. I know now what the Starmania medley is, even though I did not get it for the longest time. Some of those songs were new to me. I ADORE Elle. OMG so so so so good. I love how she talked about her parents and them saying to her when she was younger, if you ever make it to the Olympia, you must invite us. At least I think that's what I think she said. I LOVE Calling You, it's almost better than the recording. Of course, I love how in to it the fans are.

All the songs from Dion Chante Plamandon album that she performed that night were much much better than the studio versions.

 

Her voice was 110% top shape! Best live album!

By far my favorite live album of hers!! :) I wish we could get a DVD of this concert. Her voice is just flawless and she kills it on every song. I adore DMQS and so many others on this album. In fact this album is what changed my opinion of JDDMT. I adore that song because of this album.

 

I'd also love a copy of the Pandora concert in NY!

I've watched this documentary from 1994. The bootleg of DMQS at the end in supposed to be a show in Montreal. If so, it means that that song wasn't live in this tour, because it's the exact same track as the Olympia show. It would be the one and only tour where she would have lipped french songs. Makes me actually very sad. Makes me sad, because the Olympia show CD that we all love, her magnificent performance would not be as real as we think it's supposed to be.

 

What do you think?

And also, this bootleg of JDDMT sounds quite similar as the Olympia. And, knowing her body gesture very well, looks like she's not singing for real.

I may be wrong.

Remember when her ex-drummer tried to out her as a major lip-syncher?
