"The Best So Far... Tour 2018 Edition" (compilation) - Official Topic

[Javito]

Also, I wonder if this is going to be a regular practice of Céline's team @SonyMusic, to use live pictures of her shows and then release all studio tracks of songs everyone already has? It's so misleading.

So weird to see all the live photos from 2017 tour, it is called 2018 tour and in the end it is only studio version.

 

Anyway, I will get my copy on monday.

Where are you buying guys? I tried Amazon UK but it's not available yet.

This release leaves me with a bittersweet taste, on the one hand I'm happy because it's a 2018 release (probably the only one we'll have at this point), but on the other hand, it's worrisome that a quality label like Sony Music Japan has set its standards so low this time, with a CD release that has no interest at all for fans since there's not even one rare/new song on it. An the Japanese market are masters in offering these bonus materials to the fans.

 

The "Complete Best" album in 2008 had its purpose and even included the new version of "A World To Believe In" with Yuna Ito, but this album? Not even a special/rare version, not even Recovering or Ashes on it...

 

And the mention of RDMH as the "bonus track for Japan"... a song from 1996??? Come on, that can't be more laughable.

 

Sony Music Japan was the only hope for quality Celine Dion releases still... Now there's only Sony Music France...

 

They can do sooo much better than what they're doing with her

Yeah sure. I love the songs, I love the photo (the cover photo is brilliant!) and I was part of that tour (as a fan ) ... I just think it doesn't fit together!

Sony is so stupid... I mean as a customer when i see this cd at the store : celine on stage with a mic, tour 2018 : it really looks like a live album! But its not lol its really a scam from sony

Yep. I’d have bought it if it was a live cd, or even if it had a few tracks we haven’t got yet on cd (Recovering, Ashes etc), but not for these songs that have appeared many times over 😂 But saying that, all the while people are still buying these “new” releases they’re not going to stop releasing them. Ka-ching 😂

We're weak when it's about our beloved Céline

Lol - it’s your money my friend, you buy whatever you want! 😀 Know what you mean though 😉

[Javito]

Yeah, it's been 5 years without an English release from her. And yet it's sad this "tour edition" thing is all what they can offer in 5 years while we wait for a new album

 

Edit: I'm also buying because I'm a collector, but I think this time I will wait until price decreases or I'll buy a second hand copy. I don't feel the rush and anticipation like when it's something brand new.

Sony Music Thailand says this album will go on sale in Thailand on 15 June.

I just don’t understand why there are still no live cd/dvd packages of the 2016 and 2017(her best tour ever!) tours with a documentary movie on a bonus DVD with insights on how the tours were created and interviews and videos of rehersals etc. why don’t we get that? Why??? I just don’t understand. It came after the Taking Chances tour. Why not now? They could make so much money with it and please the fans. What’s the point of not releasing it? Fear that people buy the DVD and won’t go to the live show? Trying to make Celine „exclusice“? Lack of manager? That’s total BS.... every tour is different and special, so release these materials for us! Edited May 31, 2018 at 02:13 PM by ryba

If it takes them so long, then I expect the 2016, the 2017 and the 2018 tour as a CD and DVD together in one package! I don’t care about ridiculous best of albums with the same studio tracks from two decades ago that are released again and again every year. That’s just insane. A major record label like Sony should know that! Shame on them Edited May 31, 2018 at 02:20 PM by ryba

If they are not capable of releasing pristine concerts like the Olympia or the LTAL English tour or Memphis (that already exists but only on VHS), where her voice condition was at the top of her game, I highly doubt Sony is going to care about releasing tours where her voice was not at her best and that are already 2 years old...

 

If it didn't happen right after the tours ended, it ain't gonna happen now guys.

[ryba]

Such a shame... the un soel fois concert from Quebeck was released, but the big European tour with all her great hits was not. That’s incredible... Edited May 31, 2018 at 02:37 PM by ryba

Oh, we’ll get them released...after Celine dies. It’s a dark thing to say, but it’s true. Look at how much is now being released of Whitney’s and Prince’s. It’s disgusting, but it’s how the industry works. At least with the big names.

I don't think Sony cares about the shape of her voice when releasing something.

Plus the LTAL english tour had what ?10-11 songs live...the rest was mimed.

From a pure vocal performance and vocal entertainer point of view, the last 2 tours were far more impressive. Especially the last one.

At 30 years old, she couldn't play live half of a show.

And actually we can't even say that tour was so pristine on all dates. Recordings are very rare of that tour.

My copy of the Japan limited edition got here... is it bad that the interesting thing is the handkerchief...?

Move over water bottles, here comes the versatile Celine Dion handkerchief!

Curious, does it have the same exact tracklisting as the Japan version? Just wondering if any songs got swapped out or if they got smart, and added "Ashes" or something. Thanks!

Yes, unfortunately. We will also get the Millennium show too after Celine is gone because she will not be here to complain about how her voice was not in top shape that night. Also, the Spencer tracks will probably find the light of day when Celine and Spencer are not here to be ashamed and have personal woes to get them released. But I don't want to go down that dark path any further....hopefully, we have many, many good years left with Celine!
