Céline Dion en concert (meaning Céline Dion in Concert) is a French live album by Canadian singer Céline Dion, released in Quebec, Canada in December 1985. It's her 11th French album and 1st live recording.

Album information

The album was recorded during sold out concert at the Place des Arts in Montreal, on May 31, 1985, which was a part of the C'est pour toi tournée. Dion performed 36 concerts in 25 Quebec cities during that tour. She sang also three English songs: Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes' "Up Where We Belong," Judy Garland's "Over the Rainbow" and Irene Cara's "What a Feeling."^[1]

The Canadian 1985 TV special included several different songs than were on the album, such as "Avec toi," "Amoureuse," "C'est pour toi," and "Mamy Blue."

There were no singles issued to promote this album, which also included "Carmen "L'amour est enfant de bohême"" and homages to Félix Leclerc and Michel Legrand.

The album has sold 50,000 copies.^[2]

During her Falling into You Tour in 1996-97, Dion recalls how she used to sing "What a Feeling" when she was a little girl. She didn't know English that well at the moment and had to learn some of the lyrics phonetically. We can find that speech on her Live in Memphis home video.

In 2003, Dion recorded one of the songs from Céline Dion en concert, called "Quand on s'aime" as a duet with René Simard, which appeared on his album Hier...encore.
