Céline Dion : Le pari colossal qui a réinventé le désert de Las Vegas

La Story Nostalgie

Au début des années 2000, Las Vegas est cette ville où l'on vient jouer, évidemment, et applaudir des légendes un peu has been. Dans les casinos planent l'ombre de Sinatra, Liberace, et plus récemment de Tom Jones. Le Vegas de Tom Jones, c'est des smokings ouverts jusqu'au torse, des femmes qui lancent leur lingerie sur la scène et des serveuses qui traversent la salle avec des plateaux de cocktails aussi grands qu'elles. À Vegas, les stars sont des mecs du genre alpha John Wayne. Des types qui boivent, séduisent et chantent jusqu'au milieu de la nuit sous les néons et dans le chahut des machines à sous.Alors, lorsque le Caesars Palace annonce qu'il va construire une salle gigantesque spécialement pour Céline Dion, aussi célèbre soit-elle devenue, nombreux sont ceux qui crient au casse-cou. Car à Vegas, les chanteurs viennent quelques semaines, des mois au mieux, comme cela a été le cas avec Elvis. Mais une résidence permanente pendant trois ans !Mais les travaux commencent au Caesars Palace, on détruit un ancien théâtre, et peu à peu apparaît ce Colosseum inspiré de la Rome antique, avec ses colonnes, ses dorures et sa salle pensée autour d'une seule voix. Les techniciens eux-mêmes n'en reviennent pas.Et la ville continue à Vegas. Des joueurs perdent leur retraite aux machines à sous, les mariages express se succèdent dans les petites chapelles climatisées avec des Elvis partout, tandis que des vieux habitués parlent encore des soirées folles du Rat Pack comme des anciens combattants.Quelques semaines après les débuts du spectacle de Céline Dion, les premiers à comprendre qu'il se passe quelque chose ne sont ni les journalistes, ni les producteurs. Ce sont les chauffeurs de taxi. Parce que, eux, ils voient arriver les gens avant tout le monde. À l'aéroport de Las Vegas débarquent en effet des couples du Midwest, des groupes de femmes quinquas, des familles entières, des Québécois surexcités, des Européens émerveillés du voyage, tous avec la même idée en tête : “Ils sont là pour Céline !”Puis ce sont les serveurs du Caesars, les restaurants qui se remplissent après le spectacle, ça fait quand même 4000 personnes dans les rues d'un coup, les boutiques ouvrent plus tard et les casinos découvrent qu'une chanteuse capable d'émouvoir une salle entière rapporte davantage qu'un championnat du monde de boxe. Car Céline Dion attire des gens qui jusque-là ne venaient pas à Vegas. Des couples ordinaires. Des touristes qui économisent pendant un an pour se payer le voyage. Des gens qui ne jouent même pas au casino mais qui veulent simplement vivre “leur soirée avec Céline”.Vrai, Céline Dion a transformé Vegas au point que tout le bizness veut y avoir sa résidence : Elton John, Cher, Britney Spears, Kiss, Adele et même U2 y poseront leurs valises.Oui, le véritable tournant de l'histoire de Las Vegas n'a pas été l'annonce de la résidence de Céline par les patrons des casinos. Il a commencé un soir où un chauffeur de taxi a vu monter dans sa voiture un couple venu uniquement pour écouter Céline Dion chanter en plein désert du Nevada.

What Does it Really Mean?You are going to die. What if remembering that is the key to actually living well? Most of us don't spend much time thinking about death. But when we do, something interesting happens: we start to see what matters. This week, Marianne and Charlie kick off a brand-new series exploring the humanities and the art of dying. From the lavish life and hidden cause of death of Liberace to the driving funk of The Rolling Stones' "Dancing with Mr. D," we explore how history, art, and myth use mortality not to create fear, but to bring ultimate clarity to life.

S04.E09 - From Page to Stage: Mike Bernard Discusses His Book 'Concert Dates'

Seeing Them Live

In this episode, Charles sits down with Mike Bernard, a Boston-area author, screenwriter, and playwright who came to writing later in life and hasn't slowed down since. Mike has published eight novels, written a stage musical, and optioned multiple screenplays through prestigious competitions including the Academy Nicholl Fellowship, the Page International Screenwriting Awards, ScreenCraft, and the Nantucket Film Festival. The conversation weaves together music, memory, friendship, and the creative life — all anchored in the gritty, soulful sounds of the 1970s and early '80s. Mike's live music journey begins with a memorable — if reluctant — first show: escorting his grandmother to see Liberace at the Cape Cod Melody Tent. His real musical awakening came when he saw the J. Geils Band at the old Boston Garden as a teenager, an experience he still counts among his best. The blues-driven energy of "House Party" and "Musta Got Lost" made a lifelong impression, and he draws a sharp distinction between that era of J. Geils and the MTV-era band that followed. Other standout shows include Elvis Costello at the Cape Cod Coliseum — where the opening silhouettes under blue light during "Watching the Detectives" hit him like a gut punch — and an extraordinary 1990 benefit concert at Worcester's Clark University featuring Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Timothy B. Schmit, Bob Seger, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, and Jimmy Buffett all on the same bill. And for pure comedic gold, Mike recounts the moment a Little River Band guitar pick landed — and stuck — to his bare thigh at the Melody Tent, with zero competition from the crowd for the souvenir. Charles and Mike then discuss Mike's book Concert Dates; a fictional story told in interview form — inspired by Daisy Jones & The Six — that follows six friends who meet at a concert at age 15 and are reunited decades later through a video diary. The backdrop is the Cape Cod Coliseum, a converted hockey rink that hosted an extraordinary run of classic rock shows from 1972 to 1983, including Van Halen, The Clash, Talking Heads, Peter Frampton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and J. Geils (twelve times). Mike also shares the remarkable story of connecting with photographer Rudy Childs — a previous Seeing Them Live guest — through a Facebook group dedicated to the Coliseum, only to discover that Rudy's candid parking lot photos included a picture of Mike and his own friends from a Clash show. Listeners who enjoy music, nostalgia, and deeply human storytelling will find Concert Dates — and Mike's wider catalog, including Crossing the Sagamore — well worth picking up on Amazon. BANDS: Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Billy Joel, Bob Seger, Bon Iver, Bonnie Raitt, Don Henley, Eagles (Glenn Frey, Timothy B. Schmit), Elvis Costello, Engelbert Humperdinck, Frankie Avalon, Huey Lewis and the News, J. Geils Band, Jackson Browne, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Buffett, Liberace, Little River Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker Band, Neil Young, Ozzy Osbourne, Peter Frampton, R.E.M., Ray Charles, Seals and Crofts, Sly & the Family Stone, Talking Heads, The Clash, The Four Tops, Tom Petty, Van Halen.

Our Randy Hamilton was born to sing songs like this. He and Danny Cox brought us “Spooky” last summer and we've been loving it ever since. Especially when we added Sam St. Clair's funky harmonica and Jack Nuckols' tasty percussion.About the SongAs reported here earlier, while The Classics IV made the lyrics famous with a chart-topper in the fall of 1967, the story of “Spooky” began several years earlier in an Atlanta club. Following a show sometimes in 1965, saxophonist Mike Sharpe (Shapiro) and his band mate pianist Harry Middlebrooks Jr. began riffing on the George Gershwin classic, “Summertime.”As they improvised, they realized they had stumbled upon something special. As they continued, the duo developed their own melody, to which Sharpe randomly assigned the name “Spooky.”The original version was recorded as a jazz instrumental featuring strange high voices to enhance the eerie vibe; it eventually peaked at No. 57 on the U.S. charts in January 1966.Sharpe and Middlebrooks initially thought the song's life cycle ended there, but a year later, The Classics IV added those lyrics about that “spooky little girl like you,” propelling the track to No. 3 on the Billboard 100. Harry's StoryMeanwhile, as “Spooky” was conquering the airwaves, co-writer Harry Middlebrooks was entering one of the most high-energy phases of his career: touring with Elvis Presley. It was the fall of 1970 when Middlebrooks received a call from Elvis's producer, Felton Jarvis, inviting him to join The King's first tour in 10 years.Middlebrooks served a unique dual role on the road: he performed as part of the opening act to warm up the crowd and sang tenor in the backup quartet, providing the vocal harmonies essential to Elvis's ‘70s sound. In a moment of professional synergy, Elvis, who was fond of “Spooky,” actually performed a cover of the Sharpe-Middlebrooks' hit during various live shows and rehearsals in 1970.Beyond his most famous composition, Middlebrooks established himself as a prolific figure in the entertainment industry. He composed for television and penned more 300 tunes recorded by such diverse artists as Tom Jones, Liberace and The Oak Ridge Boys.Middlebrooks recorded several albums for Reprise and Capitol Records and established himself on the club scene in Southern California, eventually singing at more 80 clubs. He became an in-demand session and backup singer for Neil Diamond, Anne Murray, Marty Robbins and others. In particular, he relished his seven-year run backing Glen Campbell for his Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe concerts.Another Helping of Randy Tunes?So, has today's podcast got you hankering for more tunes from Randy Hamilton?

RUNDOWN   Mitch opens Episode 361 barely able to speak. Area code 361, is a surprisingly stacked Corpus Christi résumé — from Farrah Fawcett's iconic poster-era fame to Eva Longoria, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Lynyrd Skynyrd's longtime keyboardist Billy Powell. The college football playoff drama continues, Notre Dame spent weeks ahead of Miami in the rankings only to get leapfrogged on a Saturday when neither team played — and then "boycott" bowl season in peak Irish fashion. From there they pivot to the Seahawks' 26–6 win in Atlanta, breaking down Sam Darnold's Jekyll-and-Hyde day (ugly first half, near-perfect second), Rashid Shaheed finally becoming a real factor in the passing game, and rookie safety Nick Emmanwori looking like a heat-seeking missile on an already elite defense. Rick breaks down a wild Selection Sunday, starting with the baffling late flip that dropped Notre Dame behind Miami despite neither team playing — a move he believes was driven more by ACC politics than football. He argues Alabama should've been penalized for an awful SEC title game showing, outlines why championship games now feel meaningless, and even says this version of Alabama "has no chance." Mitch, Brady, and Jacson break down Seattle's 37–9 dismantling of the Falcons, a performance highlighted by back-to-back games without allowing a touchdown and the defense's most dominant two-week stretch since 2014. Devin Witherspoon and Nick Emmanwori delivered superstar-level days while the returns of Julian Love and Jarran Reed stabilized the unit even further. On offense, Sam Darnold shook off a miserable first half and exploded for 182 yards and three touchdowns after halftime. Mitch brings Brady and Joe back together for the first Mariners No-Table since the season ended in Toronto, diving straight into Seattle's early offseason headline: the five-year, $92M Josh Naylor deal — a rare moment where the Mariners actually did what "everyone agrees they should do." The guys break down why the front office moved so fast, whether it was an overpay, and what it signals to the clubhouse and the league. From there, they examine the next dominoes (Polanco, bullpen additions, third base uncertainty), debate Cole Young's floor vs. ceiling, unpack the Harry Ford trade, and even entertain the dream-but-unlikely scenario of trading for Tarik Skubal.   GUESTS   Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, OVer-Slot Substack   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch battles through a shredded voice, celebrates Corpus Christi's unexpected celebrity roster, and resets the stage for a massive week of Seahawks, CFP, and MLB offseason storylines. 9:10 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 12:43 | Notre Dame gets ghosted by the committee, Miami sneaks in from the couch, and the Seahawks finally wake up in Atlanta behind Sam Darnold, Rashid Shaheed, and a filthy defense. 27:02 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Committee chaos, Notre Dame's last-second flip, Alabama's free pass, and Rick's early read on who can actually win the 12-team playoff. 43:18 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Another defensive clinic, a second straight touchdown-free game, and an offense that finally woke up when it mattered. 1:05:10 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Mariners lock up Josh Naylor, weigh Polanco's future, debate Cole Young's readiness, and navigate a pivotal offseason window. 1:32:50 | Other Stuff Segment: George Pickens vs Richard Sherman Instagram drama, early bowl games (LA Bowl timing), Washington State Cougars losing their coach to Iowa State, WSU coaching turnover history, Doug Gottlieb chair-throwing incident after UW-Green Bay loss, Hannes Steinbach breakout freshman season at Washington, UW basketball freshman class strength, comparing Steinbach to Dirk Nowitzki/Detlef Schrempf/Christian Welp, Utah Tech vs Santa Clara fight after poster dunk, anger over being posterized in the social-media era, Rancho Santa Fe mansion listed by Russell Wilson & Ciara for $54.9M, Liberace's historic LA home with piano-shaped pool for sale, Joey Chestnut wins 2025 wing-eating championship (242 wings in 10 minutes), Tyler Herro hit in groin by referee's errant pass, Seahawks vs Colts upcoming matchup, Huskies vs Boise State bowl game preview RIPs former NASCAR driver Michael Annett, former NBA big man Elden Campbell, former Texas Rangers and Dallas Stars owner Tom Hicks HEADLINES man swallows stolen jeweled Fabergé-style egg and passes it naturally, Paris Hilton seen vacationing in St. Barts, Canadian geese attack Texas woman causing broken pelvis and internal bleeding, China ends condom tax exemption and adds fortunes inside wrappers

Pianist and singer Liberace was one-of-a-kind with big dimples, pompadour hair, huge rings on his fingers and expensive and flamboyant suits and capes. No one had his flair or style and he had a great dynamic with his audience, proclaiming often that he agreed with Mae West when she said, "Too much of a good thing, is wonderful." He was once the highest paid entertainer in the world. When one thinks of Liberace, the first thing that comes to mind are the costumes. Oh, those costumes! He grew up at a time when being openly gay was frowned upon and even dangerous and thus he denied his homosexuality all the way to his death from AIDS. So much talent and style couldn't possibly just go away with death. His spirit still watches over his collections. Join us for the life and afterlife of Liberace!

“It's strange to think about a world without The Prince of Darkness…”  It all started on February 13, 1970, with the ominous sounds of chapel bells, thunder, and pouring rain, and it all ended with an emotionally charged, worldwide downpour of tears from fans across the planet on July 22, 2025, the day that OZZY OSBOURNE, The Prince Of Darkness, bade this world farewell and passed into eternity. Ozzy, for many metal heads, represents “the “beginning” of the heavy metal journey. With a “creepy and unsettling” voice that sounded like no one else before or after him, he was, for all intents and purposes, “the first and the last” of his kind in metal, helping to lay the foundations for the countless heavy metal subgenres that would follow and spawning legions of metal heads that would loyally follow him across multiple generations.  Get ready to “quit dick-docking around” for a little bit because it's time to JOIN US as we “bless that man & bless that band” and pay tribute to the man who helped birth “the most powerful genre of music in the world” as we salute and bid a fond farewell to The Prince Of Darkness with OZZY OSBOURNE – IN MEMORIAM.

I try not to play favourites, but this week's guest may be the most extraordinary human I've ever interviewed. Diane Dupuy is the founder of Famous PEOPLE Players, a Black Light theatre company where the performers are individuals with physical and developmental disabilities. On stage, they become invisible, allowing life-sized puppets to dance, dazzle, and delight the audience. Offstage, they find purpose, dignity, and a chance to be part of something magical. In this profoundly moving episode, Diane shares how she turned her childhood trauma, learning challenges, and rejection by society into a purpose-driven life. Famous PEOPLE Players is her ever-burning flame of inclusion, artistry, and belief in human potential. From being discovered by Liberace—who invited the troupe to open for him in Las Vegas—to receiving support from Paul Newman, Senator Ted Kennedy, and even a standing ovation from Phil Collins, Diane's journey is one of sheer will and unstoppable passion. No funding? She finds a way. Border blocks? She calls the White House. Criticism? She answers with applause. But today, this company which has changed so many lives is fighting to keep its lights on. With no government funding, they rely solely on ticket sales, donations, and sponsorships. If this episode moves you—and it will—share it. And if you can, support the show that refuses to stop, because for Diane Dupuy and her PLAYERS, the show must go on.
