Product Description: If you were one of the handful of folks who missed Céline Dion's mega-run in Las Vegas, fear not: Céline Dion: A New Day is a riveting, sumptuous front-row seat to the whole extravagant experience. As concert DVDs go, this is a show of a lifetime, nearly six hours featuring not only no-expenses-spared production values and every song from Dion's famed show, but priceless extras as well. Dion's substantial voice is in fine form, and sparkles on signature tunes like "A New Day Has Come," "The Power of Love," and of course the theme from Titanic, "My Heart Will Go On" (and Dion-watchers will note that she's thankfully dialed back the breast-beating that used to accompany this song). But as impressive as the performances are--and they include the talented gymnasts, dancers, and backup singers who work as a Cirque du Soleil-style ensemble--the set's most memorable moments are found in the personal footage and extras. Dion comes across as truly humble and approachable, with a wicked sense of humor and real compassion for her hard-working staff and her fans. There are sweet, intimate moments of Dion with her husband and son, as well as telling scenes that show her true resourcefulness (girlfriend does her own makeup!). The many docs include one on the building of her special theater and the building of the show from the ground up. "If you're going to gamble," says Dion's manager and husband, René Angélil, "Vegas is the place to do it." Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. --A.T. Hurley

Awesome!
You could never realize how great this concert was without actually being there to see it for yourself. with that said, this dvd was a very close 2nd. just as i felt in the concert, i felt watching this dvd... you did not want it to end. this video is from a few years back, so a few hair changes and adjustments to costumes... i have an eye for small detail. celine is amazing and put on a fantastic show. i have watched the video several times and have sent it as a gift to my mother, whom i took to one of celine's last shows in dec of 2007. it is a fantastic memoir.

PAL vs NTSC
This has not been mentioned in any of the reviews but the DVD version (not BlueRay disk) is recorded in PAL (European) format, not NTSC (US) format, and most DVD players in the US refuse to play it. It plays OK on a laptop but who wants to watch a concert on a laptop. I was about to return the DVD but upon researching on the internet, decided to buy the Philips DVP5982 1080p Upscaling DVD Player. The DVD player plays this DVD beautifully and also up-converts it to 1080p for my 46" SONY HDTV using a HDMI cable. The concert sounds and looks great!
I am not yet ready to commit to a BlueRay Player or a PlayStation 3, so the upscaling DVD player fills the gap beautifully. There is very little noticeable difference between a upscaled DVD and the real thing.

A New Day Blu Ray
One of the finest concert video discs made. I enjoyed every moment and it was the first time I watched all the additional features of any DVD or concert video (5-6 hours). Remarkable images and wonderful audio reproduction makes this a must see for any hometheater. I could not recommend a better Blu Ray concert.Celine Dion: Live in Las Vegas - A New Day [Blu-ray]
