During the concerts, Dion performed "J'irai où tu iras" with Jean-Jacques Goldman. "To Love You More" includes a violin solo by Taro Hakase, while Diana King appears on screen during "Treat Her Like a Lady". The setlist also incorporates several songs associated with the Bee Gees, including "Stayin' Alive" and "You Should Be Dancing".
