Courage World Tour - EU shows CANCELED

[JulienMcbeal]

By the time she gets to you, she'll probably have gotten bored with something and added new songs.

 

Yes: she'll be bored to death with Courage and Imperfections and will cut them for I can't help falling in love and Where does my heart beat now.

And add two lines of FOMO at the beginning of the show in the likes of IDAN.

 

 

The general public, blabla... Em, we are NOT the general public here. Aren't we supposed to be die hard fans? I don't know why we are fans if we're supposed to demand / expect the same things as the general public...

Well, I don’t know what to say. Surely you’ve seen other people post that a lot of veteran acts only perform 2-3 new songs. That’s certainly been my experience from the shows I’ve seen by the top tier performers.

 

We’ve just been spoiled for so long...

[JulienMcbeal]

Is 5 Courage songs in the Courage World Tour THAT MUCH to ask?

Just curious...where did these photos come from? There's quite a few but I just posted two including some rehearsal shots.

I know the Christmas ones were leaked from a fake Pepe account but I saw these today but never was able to find a source.

Here is a

from last night's Chicago performance. I'll try to add the rest to it this week. Really disappointed that 'Lying Down' was removed from the setlist. Anyway, enjoy!

[jpatdeleon09]

Last night’s show was disappointing in every way:

 

1. Setlist still only included 2 new songs despite it being her first English show after the release of the album and having promised more new songs in the Good Morning Britain interview.

 

2. Her voice was in pretty bad shape. The only outstanding performance was “The Prayer” and maybe LCMM. There luckily weren’t any tragic performances though.

 

3. She kept the corded mic which makes the show seem less modern (although I don’t hate it that much).

 

4. I *think* she brought back the wider pants with the stripe on the side which just look so bad on her (and look like what the band members used to wear in Vegas). She should go back to the plain black slimmer ones.

 

Let’s hope she improves massively for the next shows. So far she has allegedly rehearsed “Change My Mind”, “Perfect Goodbye” and “Falling in Love Again” (before the Cleveland show). If she added those it would bring the show to 5 new songs and 21 songs in total. In other words, much better.

 

Were you there in person?

[sarit_celine]

I was afraid to check the ending of the show, but it still there.

 

Unrelated song -anti climax to the show.

 

She has more 19 new songs to replace the closer song, and another #454794445 songs from her entire career

I think Pepe is giving her those advices

[CaesarCeline]

Anyone else in the queue for Paleo tickets?!

[DionFanAlways]

My love affair with Lying Down is NOT over! What shame she nixed it. :pinch: :angry2: :furious:

It's been rumored that she rehearsed Perfect Goodbye and Change My Mind and during soundcheck in Chicago, so she hopefully we'll be saying a perfect goodbye to Imagine soon

I think she will sing it again for the European leg, it seems that Sony promoted it more there.

 

Other then that, she was forever struggling to sing the refrain, I wonder why?

Because she sang TP heavenly which it's a much more complicated song to sing.

Ha-Ha Amen to that, these two gems must to be added to the setlist :wub:

Fans must attend those rehearsals she does, there you may have a better luck,

for a change, to hear new songs

I loved the lighting effects they had for the song as well.

What really bothers me is the fact that nobody recorded that soundcheck. If they were listening, they could have recorded

Otherwise we'll never know if this was true. Remember when they said that she rehearsed Stand By Your Side in Copenhagen for the opening of the 2017 Summer Tour?

Can I exchange my ticket for the show, and get one for Soundcheck only, instead?

Thank You.

Did you get tickets?

 

It's now sold out and i was not able to get any ticket :-(

[Chantemoi]

Maybe no one remembers this, but up until a few days ago I was bemoaning the setlist and the ticket prices as loudly as everyone else. Adding insult to injury, I had to resell 2 tickets (at a 50% loss) because my friends bailed. I, too, heard the rumour she was going to sing “Change My Mind” & “Perfect Goodbye” — right as I was taking my seat (I didn’t believe it, but still). Despite being disillusioned with the whole experience before it even started, I told myself “It is what it is. I’ll try to enjoy the show regardless and get some good pictures.” I’ve been to two other shows before, and gotten pretty close to the stage, but both performances had me like “Meh. I wasn’t blown away.”

 

Then it happened last night: she blew my f**** mind away!!!! I’m serious, guys: my mind is an utterly destroyed hot mess, burnt-#ss pile of ash and rubble. All I can think about is how great she looked, sounded, and moved across the stage. She slayed every genre that lay in her path: pop/rock ballads, disco, blues, opera, John Lennon’s Imagine. Would I have rather seen her do that to her own new songs? Absolutely. Does that change the feeling I got from being there in person? Nope.

 

I got home last night, and home just isn’t “home” when you’re not 2 rows away from the stage in front of Céline Dion. Right now I’m trying to concoct a solid plan to get me out of work early, so I can drive to Indy to see her AGAIN tonight. That’s how amazing she was!!!

 

My advice if you’re on the fence about this show: UPGRADE YOUR TICKETS. Unless you’ve already seen her live 10+ times (then you’ll probably hate it). I dunno, in the end it all depends on how miserable you want to be. I was always one of those fans that said “She can sing the phonebook, and I’ll buy it”. This show was the ultimate test of that devotion.

I have though. And my excitement for this tour and my show remains almost non-existent as the tour progresses with her increasingly shortened setlist that I really had no specific desire to pay to hear again. Artistically and in terms of professional development, Celine's career died when she secluded herself in Vegas and convinced herself her legacy for the general public only needs to be a dozen same songs and a bunch of increasingly ever present, poorly done covers. They just got lazy, she has no interest in changing now after 17 years, and it is what it is but this isn't what keeps me checking back on new music from an artist.

 

It's clear Celine and team only want easy money now, but I'm willing to pay less and less for each show as time goes on and it remains the same. It's a waste of money, and I'm frankly tired of most of those songs after hearing only the same dozen songs for over 20 years. I can just watch the Taking Chances World Tour or A New Day DVDs.

 

And no, none of the other top tier veteran acts I see do this.

I perfectly remember that LOL

[A new day...]

Thank You.

 

Remember that time when VIP packages included soundcheck access instead of useless laminate tickets and cheap scarfs?? Ugh...

Sorry you feel that way! I hope you at least can cherish the memories from the previous 10+ times you’ve seen her.... There are still many fans that haven’t. Against my better judgment, I’m going to see her again tonight. This will be the last time I see her in America, unless she does a smaller “anti” tour (which I doubt will happen in this market). I won’t be recording many clips, because I’m going to dance my butt off like it’s my last Céline concert ever!

How I feel about her current tour now has nothing to do with how I feel about her past tours/early Vegas shows or diminish my memories of them in any way. I still love her, and they were some truly great times. I'm glad you enjoyed, and hope you have a great time again tonight!

Your disappointment is totally valid. Especially if you’ve paid less money, and got to see flying pianos, backup dancers, and the whole shebang. You’re damn right: they’re lazy! But boy, do they still put on a show!!

 

My one complaint about the show (setlist aside) is the awkward stage layout. I think the catwalks would’ve been better if they extended from the front of the stage, not “up the stairs and ‘round the back.” Also, the center stage is kind of sunken in when viewed from the sides.

I got also my tickets on Monday. It was really hard, some friends didn't manage to get tickets with both sales. I'm sad for those who didn't manage to have them...

 

But I'm over the moon for me, because I went in Paléo EVERY YEAR since 2008 and it would be a shame not to see Céline this time ^^

[CaesarCeline]

How did you get tickets yesterday, was there a pre-sale?

[Nmj]

Does anyone have the slightest idea what’s up with this corded mic?

 

I think it’s so weird to look at but she’s stated she likes it before; the confusing part is why does she switch back and fourth between the two mics? It’s so strange... I’m beginning to think that maybe the corded mic helps her “ear problem” or something.

I think there's multiple reasons: she loves it (playing with the wire etc), I've also heard she loves the sound that this particular corded mic gives in her ears and I think it's a "good luck" charm. The reason why she also uses a wireless one is more out of logistical necessity (performing with the corded mic on the catwalks and walking from the back to the front of the stage with it will give some trouble).

 

She must REALLY love it, because she's using 2 different brands (Shure & Sennheiser, which are each other's biggest competitors), which is not making sense. Normally an artist uses one brand and stick to it (coz they have a deal with that particular brand). She has used a wireless Shure mic of the same type in the past, so I don't get why she's not using it now (but instead uses a Sennheiser wireless one).

That's what I was wondering about too... I couldn't find any recording of that so who knows.

 

I hope Celine will change her apporach soon, no one asked her to get water from the moon

just to do the very simple basic things each artist that respect itself does.
