A New Day... Live in Las Vegas

A New Day... Live in Las Vegas includes 13 live tracks from Dion's successful Las Vegas show, titled A New Day..., and two previously unreleased studio recordings: "You and I" and "Ain't Gonna Look the Other Way". It was also issued with a bonus DVD containing a 45-minute documentary titled One Year... One Heart. The album features five live songs that had not appeared on Dion's earlier releases: "Fever", "I've Got the World on a String", "I Wish", "If I Could", and "What a Wonderful World". Studio versions of the last two tracks were later included on her album Miracle. "If I Could" was first recorded by Nancy Wilson for her 1988 album Nancy Now!. In 1993 Ray Charles recorded his version for My World, and Regina Belle included it on her album Passion. Barbra Streisand also recorded the song for her 1997 album Higher Ground. The French edition of A New Day... Live in Las Vegas includes "Contre nature" as a bonus track. The originally planned release of the Live in Las Vegas - A New Day... DVD in autumn 2004 was postponed due to changes and improvements made to the show after the initial filming. A New Day... was re-shot in high-definition between 17 and 21 January 2007 and released on 7 December 2007. The two-disc DVD contains more than 5 hours of previously unseen material, including the concert and three exclusive documentaries. Live performances of "Nature Boy", "At Last", "Fever", "Et je t'aime encore", and "What a Wonderful World" are available only on the A New Day... Live in Las Vegas CD, as they had been removed from the show by the time the DVD was filmed. == Critical reception ==

The album received generally positive reviews. AllMusic wrote that "this live document of the Las Vegas show drives home the point that Celine is one of the most potent entertainers in adult contemporary music". They added that Dion is "equally as comfortable in high-tempo numbers chock-full of her signature vocal acrobatics as she is in quiet, contemplative moments. It's an ideal souvenir for those who have experienced the magic with their own ears and eyes. And while it's not the most definitive document of Dion's career, it certainly is a stirring testament to her accomplishments as the standard to whom most vocalists aspire". == Commercial performance ==
