Live in Las Vegas: A New Day... is the eighth home video by Canadian singer Celine Dion, documenting her Las Vegas residency show A New Day... at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The DVD was released in Europe between 7 and 10 December 2007, in North America on 11 December 2007, in Australia on 15 December 2007, and in Japan on 19 December 2007.[1] A Blu-ray edition followed in February 2008.

The release presents the final version of the show, recorded in January 2007, and includes more than five hours of bonus material such as documentaries, behind‑the‑scenes footage, and fan tributes. Live in Las Vegas: A New Day... topped music DVD charts in numerous countries and received multiple certifications, including triple diamond in Canada and diamond in France.[2]

Background

A New Day... concluded on 15 December 2007 after a five‑year residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. During its run, the production was performed more than 700 times and attended by over three million spectators, generating an estimated US$400 million.[3][4]

The DVD contains the final version of the show as performed in late 2006 and 2007. The two‑disc set includes more than five hours of supplementary content, including the documentaries Because You Loved Me (A Tribute to the Fans), A New Day: All Access, and A New Day: The Secrets.[3] The package also includes multilingual subtitles and a booklet with photographs and liner notes.

History

The show was first filmed in 2003 for the CBS television special Celine in Las Vegas, Opening Night Live, which aired on 25 March 2003 and featured eight performances from the original setlist along with backstage footage hosted by Justin Timberlake.

An initial DVD release was planned for 2004 using material recorded between 26 and 30 November 2003. This early version included songs such as "Nature Boy", "At Last", "Fever", "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", "Et je t'aime encore", "Have You Ever Been in Love", and "What a Wonderful World". The release was postponed due to substantial changes made to the production.

The show was re‑shot in high definition between 17 and 21 January 2007.[5] According to the documentary A New Day: The Secrets, one reason for the new recording was that Dion's short blonde hairstyle from the earlier filming was considered visually unsuitable on screen; she returned to a long brunette style for the 2007 shoot.

Throughout the residency, Dion performed several songs that did not appear on the final DVD or CD releases, including "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)", "God Bless America", "In Some Small Way", "Taking Chances", "The Christmas Song", and "Can't Help Falling in Love". Some performances were included in television specials but were not officially released.

Several tracks from the early 2003 recordings—including "Nature Boy", "At Last", "Fever", "Et je t'aime encore", and "What a Wonderful World"—were later included on the live album A New Day... Live in Las Vegas (2004).[6]

Promotion

Performances of "The Power of Love", "I Drove All Night", "I Surrender", and "I Wish" included on the DVD were first released on the deluxe edition of Dion's album Taking Chances in November 2007.

A New Day... was broadcast in several countries, including the Netherlands (18 and 25 November 2007 on SBS6), Spain (29 November 2007 on TVE2), South Africa (2 and 8 December 2007 on SABC 3), Italy (25 December 2007 on Italia 1), and Quebec (20 and 27 January 2008 on TVA).

The show was also screened in selected cinemas, including in Poland (at Multikino on 5 December 2007)[7] and in the United States (various theatres on 17 December 2007).[8]

The Quebec network TVA also aired a special dedicated to Dion's final performance at The Colosseum on 16 December 2007. The program, titled Les Adieux de Céline Dion à Las Vegas, included behind‑the‑scenes footage of Dion and René Angélil during the final night of the show.

Commercial performance

According to Quebec media, Live in Las Vegas: A New Day... sold out across the province within hours of release.[9] On 18 January 2008, it became the first music DVD in Canadian history to be certified triple diamond, with sales exceeding 300,000 units.[10] It also achieved the largest debut in Nielsen SoundScan history for a DVD‑only title, selling more than 70,000 copies in its first week.[9][11] It remained at number one on the Canadian Music DVD chart for several weeks.[12]

Internationally, the DVD reached number one in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Japan, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, New Zealand, and Estonia. It also charted within the top 10 in numerous other countries.[13]

Nearly 500,000 copies were sold worldwide during the first week.[13] The release was certified triple diamond in Canada,[14] diamond in France, four times platinum in Australia, platinum in the United Kingdom, Brazil, Portugal, Argentina, and New Zealand, and gold in the Netherlands and Belgium. In Japan, it sold 30,000 copies within its first three months.

In the United States, the RIAA certified the double‑DVD seven times platinum. As of 2 September 2012, it had sold 463,186 copies and was eligible for nine times platinum certification.[15] According to Billboard, it was the third best‑selling music DVD of 2008 in the United States and the top‑selling release by a female artist.[16] It was also the 10th best‑selling music DVD in the country in 2009.[17]

Accolades

In 2009, the DVD was nominated for the Juno Award for Music DVD of the Year.[18]
