On August 22, 2008, Celine performed a once-in-lifetime concert on the legendary Plains of Abraham in celebration of the 400th anniversary of Quebec City, Over 250,000 fans gathered on the historic site to see Celine and her specially chosen guests on stage. Celine thrilled the crowd with a selection of her French-language songs, as well as multiple duets with her guests: Garou, Marc Dupré, Éric Lapointe, La Famille Dion, Mes Aïeux, Zachary Richard, Dan Bigras, Nanette Workman, Claude Dubois, Jean-Pierre Ferland and Ginette Reno. In November 2008, Distribution Sélect released the DVD of this exceptional concert in Quebec. The ‘Céline sur les Plaines’ DVD reached the #1 position on the Quebec charts the first week of its release and boasted the highest entry sales numbers for all DVD's in Canada for 2008.
In October 2008, Columbia Records released two special edition CDs featuring Celine’s career-spanning repertoire. 'My Love...Essential Collection' is a single disc featuring 17 songs, consisting of Celine's biggest hits....songs such as the international chart-topper "All By Myself" (her unforgettable interpretation of the groundbreaking Eric Carmen power ballad), "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" (Celine's first English-language single), her landmark 1996 Olympic Ceremonies performance of "Power of the Dream, the brand-new never-released "There Comes A Time," and the newly recorded lead track "My Love". This lead track, a semi-autobiographic song written for Celine by Linda Perry (Christina Aguilera, Dixie Chicks, Gwen Stefani) has become a show-stopper every night during Celine's sold-out World Tour.
The two-disc edition, entitled 'My Love...Ultimate Essential Collection', is a 26 song set, that has been further expanded to include rarities like "(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman," "The Prayer" (a duet with Andrea Bocelli), "Tell Him" (a duet with Barbra Streisand), "I Knew I Loved You," "Dance With My Father", and "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" (the biggest song of Celine's French career).
Celine's 'My Love...' anthologies cover virtually every single aspect of her extraordinary career, including fan favourites, a definitive assemblage of chart-topping international successes, as well as new and unreleased recordings culled from once-in-a-lifetime experiences that Celine has participated in over the years.
With each new release, Céline has managed to top her previous successes and, along the way, has become one of the brightest stars in the world of popular music. Who would have imagined that Quebec's best-kept secret could have conquered the world the way she has?
Looking back now, we should have known it all along.
