Is this a Mariah Carey boot?

I was looking through some of my CD's just to see if there was anything that I could live without or was no longer interested in,and I came across a CD that I bought that is called Mariah Carey live in concert. It looks like a real CD,but the back doesn't have a ISBN bar. It just says CTS Production,it appears to be a Australian CD. Anyone know anything about this? I have Googled,and have come up with nothing.

What's the tracklist? That's easy to tell what tour it's from and then find out if there was a live CD of that. However, the only live album she's had is the Unplugged from the 90's. Pretty safe to assume it's a bootleg. But if the quality is good, and you like Mariah, go for it.

I already own it,and was thinking of getting rid of it. I am pretty sure it is a silver pressed bootleg,cause the two bonus tracks that they have listed are by Whitney Houston. confuse I have no idea why they would do that.

And the album is not a live album? Then yes it must be a bootleg of 'hits' up to that era because those trax are in different orders. The 2 'bonus tracks' are Whiteny herself not Mariah singing these tunes right?

Yes it's live. It called Mariah Carey "live in concert". And yes the 2 bonus tracks are sung by Whitney. Here is a picture of the cover. I hope that is okay,I am after all not saying where to get it.

Interesting bootleg. I cannot seem to find a tour with that setlist, which makes me think it could be a compilation from different sources (tours). However, with "Dreamlover" and "Anytime You Need A Friend" being the most recent songs on there, I'd say it was from the Music Box Tour, which was her first I believe. It was after her first album, Music Box, and the unplugged CDs were released. However the setlist from that tour doesn't quite match the one shown here. "hero" is always later in the show. Weird configuration. I suppose you could rip it and send it to someone in .....NY or something. Is it soundboard?

It is very clear,you can hear the audience,but is more in the back,cause she is very much in the front of all the audience noise. So it might be,it doesn't say on the disc or inserts,so not positive about that.

I almost wonder if there was some Japan only broadcast and that's where the audio was taken from. There were only six shows in the US (and on the tour as a whole). "Hero" so early in the set list is still weird to me. But maybe someone just got the sequence wrong.

God, can I OCD on this more or what?!?! haha

I should get to bed.

The songs played as they are listed on the back so the sequencing is right. I tried finding more information on it,but found nothing. I even tried looking up the Production company that was on the insert,and found nothing. Weird.
