Céline Dion concert chronology

Starting in February 1994, Céline Dion's The Colour of My Love Tour was a concert tour organized to support the album The Colour of My Love.[1]

History

At first, 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 real tour started on February 11, 1994 in San Francisco, United States. After that Dion went on the Canadian leg of the tour, which included 6 concerts in the Montreal Forum among others. Between April 26 and May 1, 1994 Dion sang in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan at the David Foster tribute concerts. The shows were staged and directed by Tony Greco. Later in May 1994, she returned to Canada to finish her tour there.

From June 8 to August 27, 1994, Céline Dion toured the United States with Michael Bolton. They performed in twenty-thousand-seat-arenas, and in the "sheds" that open onto natural amphitheaters. It was their second, sold out tour.[2]

In September/October 1994, Dion performed few shows in Europe, including 3 concerts at the Paris Olympia in France. In November she gave another 3 shows in Canada, and in December 1994 she sang in Japan again.

Dion also toured Europe again in May 1995, including a sold-out concert at HMV Hammersmith Apollo, London.
