Live & More Encore is a live album released by Donna Summer in 1999. 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", hit #1 on the US dance charts, with "I Will Go With You" receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording.
Throughout 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 concerts highlights, earning enthusiastic applause from the audience. Another standout moment comes when Donna tells the story of how she wrote "Dim All the Lights" for Rod Stewart, but at the last minute decided to keep it for herself. Donna 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.
