[edit] Album information

A New Day... Live in Las Vegas features thirteen live tracks from Céline Dion's successful Las Vegas show, called A New Day... and two previously unreleased studio tracks: "You and I" and "Ain't Gonna Look the Other Way." It was also released with a bonus DVD (containing 45-min documentary, called "One Year... One Heart").

A New Day... Live in Las Vegas includes five live songs which weren't available on Dion's previous albums: "Fever," "I've Got the World on a String," "I Wish," "If I Could" and "What a Wonderful World." The studio versions of last two songs were included on her next album Miracle.

"If I Could" was originally recorded by Nancy Wilson on her Nancy Now! album in 1988. In 1993 Ray Charles covered it on My World, as well as Regina Belle on her album Passion. Barbra Streisand included the song on her Higher Ground album in 1997.

The French edition of A New Day... Live in Las Vegas containes "Contre nature" as a bonus track.

The originally scheduled Live in Las Vegas - A New Day... DVD release date (autumn 2004) was postponed because of changes and improvements made to the show since the initial filming. A New Day... was re-shot in high-definition during the January 17-21, 2007 week and released on December 7, 2007.[1] The two disc DVD contains more than 5 hours of never-before seen footage, including the concert and three exclusive documentaries.[2] Live performances of "Nature Boy," "At Last," "Fever," "Et je t'aime encore" and "What a Wonderful World" are available only on A New Day... Live in Las Vegas CD, as they were removed from the show at the time of filming the DVD.

[edit] Chart success

The album sold over 1.5 million copies around the world. It was certified gold in the U.S. (500,000) and Greece (30,000), but remains uncertified in Canada (over 50,000 copies sold, eligible for gold) and the UK (60,000 copies sold, eligible for silver).

A New Day... Live in Las Vegas reached number 1 in Greece, number 2 in Canada, number 4 in Belgian Wallonie, number 7 in Belgian Flanders, number 9 in France, number 10 in the United States, and as a result number 10 on the United World Chart. A New Day... Live in Las Vegas was promoted by the one radio single "You and I."
