Celine Dion concert chronology

The Colour of My Love Tour was the sixth concert tour by Canadian singer Celine Dion in support of her third English-language studio album, of the same name (1993).

History

Dion's first US tour as a headliner took her to ten cities, from San Francisco to New York, in early 1994.[1] A review of her final performance of the tour in New York, by Elisabeth Vincentelli for New York Newsday indicated that Dion had grown more comfortable with English: "Ad-libbing between songs, Dion managed to seem down-to-earth and accessible.[1] Whether this was consummate manipulation or spontaneous joy, she pulled it off with gusto and humor".[1] Dion's concerts at the Montreal Forum in late March 1994 made the Pollstar 1994 year-end chart of Top 200 Concert Grosses, with $1,002,003.[2]

The set list included mainly songs from The Colour of My Love and Dion's previous English albums. There were also included few French songs and covers like "Calling You", "River Deep, Mountain High" and "Can't Help Falling in Love."

Before the tour, Dion performed two concerts in September 1993 in Quebec City, Canada, which were later used for the TV specials and a home video release, The Colour of My Love Concert. Another two concerts in Quebec were performed in November 1993, to mark the release of the album.

From 8 June to 27 August 1994, Dion toured the United States with Michael Bolton on his "The One Thing Tour". They performed in twenty-thousand-seat-arenas, and in the "sheds" that open onto natural amphitheaters. It was their second, sold-out tour.[3]

Broadcasts and recordings

Main articles: The Colour of My Love Concert and À l'Olympia (Celine Dion album)

Before the tour, 7–8 September 1993 concerts at Le Théàtre Capitole, Quebec City, Canada were filmed and aired at CTV in December 1993 and the Disney Channel in February 1994. The concerts were conceived, staged and directed by Tony Greco. They were used for The Colour of My Love Concert home video.

In 28 and 29 September 1994, during a series of sold-out shows at the Paris Olympia, France, Céline Dion recorded a live album. It was released at the end of the year, under the title À l'Olympia. However, the video was never released.
