DAYDREAM: World Tour 1996

After the somehow disappointing tour experience in 1993, Mariah was ready for a world tour in 1996. Also this one wasn't too extended - it contained four dates in Europe and three at the Tokyo Dome in Japan. The shows in Japan sold out 150,000 tickets in just two hours. Also the European dates sold out in record time.

The show showcased mostly songs from the album "Daydream," including one of Mariah's favorites, "Underneath The Stars." In Japan, she also performed a stunning version of "All I Want For Christmas Is You," which was her biggest hit there ever.

The Daydream tour was never released on Home Video or DVD, even though the shows in Japan were filmed. However, the release was replaced by "Mariah Carey: Live at Madison Square Garden," which included a concert in New York from the Thanksgiving Special in 1995. A bootleg album for the Tokyo shows was released, which is very popular among fans.
