Celine Dion concert chronology

The Colour of My Love Tour was the sixth concert tour by Canadian singer Celine Dion. It was launched in support of her third English‑language studio album, The Colour of My Love (1993). The tour included performances in North America, Europe, and Asia, where Dion presented songs from the album alongside material from her earlier releases.

History

Dion's first headlining tour in the United States brought her to 10 cities, from San Francisco to New York, in early 1994.[1] Reviewing the final New York performance for New York Newsday, Elisabeth Vincentelli observed that Dion appeared increasingly confident performing in English: "Ad-libbing between songs, Dion managed to seem down-to-earth and accessible. Whether this was consummate manipulation or spontaneous joy, she pulled it off with gusto and humor".[1]

Her concerts at the Montreal Forum in late March 1994 ranked on Pollstar's year-end chart of the Top 200 Concert Grosses, earning $1,002,003.[2]

The set list drew primarily from The Colour of My Love and Dion's earlier English-language albums. It also included several French-language selections and a number of covers, such as "Calling You", "River Deep, Mountain High", and "Can't Help Falling in Love".

From 8 June to 27 August 1994, Dion joined Michael Bolton on his "The One Thing Tour" across the United States. They performed in large arenas and outdoor amphitheaters, marking their second consecutive sold-out tour together.[3]

Broadcasts and recordings

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

Before the tour began, the concerts held on 7–8 September 1993 at the Capitole de Québec in Quebec City were filmed and later broadcast on CTV in December 1993 and on the Disney Channel in February 1994. Conceived, staged, and directed by Tony Greco, the performances were subsequently released as the home video The Colour of My Love Concert.

In September 1994, during a series of sold-out shows at the Paris Olympia in France, Dion recorded a live album. It was released later that year under the title À l'Olympia.
