Background and conception
In 1985, Dion toured 50 cities in Canada.[1] On 31 May 1985, she recorded a concert at Place des Arts in Montreal, and released it on cassette and vinyl LP on 20 December 1985.[1] The album includes several of Dion's hits ("D'amour ou d'amitié", "Mon ami m'a quittée", "Une colombe", "Tellement j'ai d'amour pour toi") as well as interpretation of famous English-language songs ("Up Where We Belong", "What a Feeling", "Over the Rainbow").[2] Dion also paid tribute to two major artists, Félix Leclerc and Michel Legrand, and sang an aria from Georges Bizet's opera, Carmen.[1] Her tour was nominated for Show of the Year at the Félix Awards in 1985 and Harvey Robitaille, who worked on the tour, won the award for Sound Engineer of the Year.[3]
