Live And More Encore is a live album released by
Donna Summer in
1999, an edited version of a televised concert of the same name. Released on
Sony Music's sublabel
Epic, it featured a live concert which had been filmed especially for the
VH-1 channel, and also two new
dance tracks, including a re-working of "Time To Say Goodbye", a semi-classical song previously made popular by
Andrea Bocelli and
Sarah Brightman. Summer's dance version of the song was entitled "
I Will Go with You (Con te partirò)". Both of the album's two studio recordings, the other being "
Love Is the Healer", reached #1 on the US dance charts, with "I Will Go With You" nominated for a
Grammy as
Best Dance Recording.
In the concert Summer performs some of her biggest hits both from the 1970s disco era through to the 1980s. The song "
No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", originally a duet with
Barbra Streisand, is performed with Australian singer
Tina Arena. The song was one of the concert's highlights, earning enthusiastic applause from the audience. Another notable moment is when Summer tells how she wrote "
Dim All the Lights" for
Rod Stewart, but at the last minute decided to keep it for herself. She then performs the first half of the song the way she imagines Stewart might have sung it, and finishes it in the style she originally recorded it.
in 2013, the album was re-released without the studio tracks as Playlist: The Very Best of Donna Summer, including bonus songs only previously available on the accompanying video release.
