The Corrs concert chronology |
The Talk on Corners Tour is the second concert tour by Irish band the Corrs. Beginning in November 1997, the tour supported the band's second studio album, Talk on Corners . To date, it is their longest tour, with over 150 dates across Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and North America. The tour began with the band performing in theatres and nightclubs and, as the record’s success grew, progressed to arenas and amphitheatres, along with the group’s usual appearances at a variety of international music festivals.
After promoting their second studio album, the band began tour rehearsals in October 1997 at The Factory in Dublin. [1] During their several weeks of rehearsals, the band promoted the tour on various radio stations throughout Europe. In February 1998, the band began their tour of Australia and New Zealand; while in New Zealand, the band shot the music video for the album’s third single, "What Can I Do?". Members of the group stated that they were initially homesick for Ireland, but that shooting a music video in the countryside of New Zealand reminded them greatly of home. In March 1998, the band kicked off their tour of the United Kingdom; they performed at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Saint Patrick's Day, with drummer Mick Fleetwood (of Fleetwood Mac fame) joining the band for their cover of Fleetwood Mac’s "Dreams", as well as the traditional Irish tunes "Haste to the Wedding" and "Toss the Feathers". The show was recorded and televised in the UK, and was released on VHS and eventually to DVD and Blu-Ray; the broadcast helped push "Dreams" to the #6 spot on British charts. It also propelled their overall notoriety and success, leading them to become the most famous Irish band behind U2. This success continued throughout 1998, with their following singles, “Runaway (Tin Tin Out Remix)” and “So Young (K-Klass Remix)”, being given fresh remixes from their original versions, and peaking at #2 and #5 on the UK charts, respectively.
After breaking the UK music scene, the band set out to build upon this success in the US and Canada, where that leg of the tour commenced in October 1998. During their stop in Chicago, the band shot the music video for "So Young". In December, the band set off on a more ambitious UK/European tour, selling out a five-night run at Wembley Arena, as well as selling out a majority of the other dates on the tour. In March 1999, the band toured North America as supporting act for The Rolling Stones as part of their No Security Tour. In July 1999, the band set off on a summer festival tour as they did the previous July (1998). On 17 July 1999, the band played for one of their biggest audience to date, at that point, in front of 45,000 people at Lansdowne Road football stadium. They were the second Irish band ever to headline a stadium gig (U2 were the first). This concert was recorded and would eventually be released onto VHS and DVD. Many consider this to be one of the band’s greatest live performances. The tour concluded two weeks later, on 31st of July 1999, in Spain, A Coruña, Playa de Santa Cristina, during the Lloret del Mar music festival, where Andrea announced this concert would be the final gig of the tour.
The following setlist is obtained from the 5 June 1998 concert at the Portsmouth Guildhall in Portsmouth, England. It does not represent all concerts during the tour.
