Céline Dion À L'Olympia appreciation thread


Recommended Posts

Posted

I know she did Des Mots Qui Sonint at Une Seule Fois, and I was soooooooooo happy she did. But my fave version of that song will always be from A L'olympia. Cuzz that's where I first heard it, I think that's why.

This will always be my favorite live version of this song! She nails it and her vocals are so powerful with this concert.

 

I was so excited it was included for USF but this concerts version is just epic! :)

This thread has got me too obsessed! I know I've not seen footage but I believe this concert would have been one of her most iconic and should have been released on DVD! I know the Colour of My Love video and Live à Paris concert were released around the same time but this one is needed ... A sort of Holy Trinity of Celine's pivotal years...! Her energy, vocals and General interaction make this my favourite live album!

I would love to see this released one day. Maybe one year as a special anniversary edition? One can only hope.....

I've heard the live performance of "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" on Pandora internet radio and it was one of the most amazing things I've ever heard! Her voice sounds fabulous! :) I think it was from this concert.

Just wanted to take a look back at some of the looks Celine had during this tour, which remains as one of my favorite shows from her early anglophone career.

My absolute favorite look. She had it at the very beginning of TCOML era, during the album release at Metropolis and the first shows of the tour.

A similar look but different color on hair and jacket. Still love it!

Fortunately she fixed her hair style and clothes for the series of concerts at the Forum de Montreal on March of 1994.

And here's the latest look that we have from this tour. Taken from one of the September 1994 concerts at the Olympia in Paris. Not a huge fan of this one...

This is my favourite era. Only thing I didn't like was the huge cuffs.

This is from that era:

 

I LOVE HER HERE!!!!!

 

 

I love her hair here . . . one of the few short hairstyles that I think looked really good on her, framing her face in soft curls. . .

Oh man, Elle. If I never said how much I love that song, let me now. and Calling You, oh man, epic. Can anyone tell us what she is saying as she introduces this song? I get a word here and there, but not enough to get it and I want to.

Oh, and I wish she would record elle. she recorded Calling You, and I love both live and recorded. But Elle is such a sincere and vocally powerful, yet innocent, sweet song that is her life in 3 or 4 minutes.

She actually recorded Elle for her 1985 album C'est Pour Toi. :thumbsup: She sang that song that night because Eddy Marnay, who wrote it, was in the audience that night. I don't know if it was a part of the regular set list.

Oh. Didn't know that. Thanks for explaining that. I did manage to make out that he was there, but I didn't know that was why she did it specifically. Another song I'd love to hear in her current voice. It would be quite a look back for her, but it would sound so good I think!

Intro to Elle:

 

At 13, when I started singing, I had the chance to meet a great writer and an exceptional person..Mr Eddy Marnay, who is here with us tonight.

It was Eddy who wrote all my early songs. The next song that I'd like to sing for you was put to one side, it wasn't played on the radio... So, tonight I'd like you to get to know it..

It's one of my favourite songs...It's called 'Elle'.

 

Intro to Calling You:

 

You know, from time to time it's possible to fall in love with a song that you hear for the first time on the radio.

That's what happened to me with this next song - I heard it and I fell in love.

No problem... Happy to help ��

She also performs it on the Live à Paris recording where she gives some more background detail... The song is actually from a 1987 German film called 'Bagdad Café'. I've not seen it but the song is performed by Javetta Steele:

 

 

So, it turns out Jeff Buckley recorded it too...:

Was this recorded by someone else in English? The melody sounds soooo familiar, but I don't think I've ever the French version before (she sounds amazing!!)

Actually, she never recorded Calling You on the studio. And if she did, the track remains unreleased. However, she said during an interview (I think the one included on the 'Unison' home video) that she'd like to record the song and include it on her next album in English.

Seems to be missing for a lot of people in the UK and Europe on Apple Music according to things I’ve seen on Twitter. Honestly couldn’t explain why, as it’s on Spotify and YouTube.
Posted (edited)
Has anyone tried commenting on the instagram post asking her team and Sony to release the full thing? We know of one guy on youtube that claims to have a full audience recording of the 29th but he won't share. Btw this is probably her best live album vocally. Edited by Abodi2002
