[edit] History

In February 1996, Céline Dion announced the launch of her Falling into You Tour in support of a new album. Dion and her band toured Australia, Canada, the United States, and many countries in Europe and Asia. In all, the tour lasted more than a year, with 144 shows in 17 different countries.

The sold out tour began on March 18, 1996 in Perth, Australia and continued to major cities around the world. It ended on June 26, 1997 in Zurich, Switzerland. In June 1997, Céline Dion toured the biggest stadiums of Europe and sang before huge crowds ranging from 35,000 and 70,000 people.

[edit] Broadcasts and recordings

The March 14, 1997 show at the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, United States was filmed and aired on television. It was also released on VHS in November 1998 as Live in Memphis. The DVD was supposed to be released on February 27, 2008 in Japan but it was postponed.
