''The Tour'' is a live recording album by American R&B singer Mary J. Blige, released July 28, 1998. The album was recorded from two shows in Los Angeles at the Universal Amphitheater during her ''Share My World Tour'' in 1997-1998 in the U.S. Critical reception In a contemporary review for ''Rolling Stone'', Jancee Dunn wrote that ''The Tour'' "deftly captures the energy and exuberance" of Blige's live shows while calling the singer "a commanding, self-assured performer" who "plays her audience like a damn fiddle". ''Entertainment Weekly'' critic Matt Diehl said while the arrangements were occasionally overwrought, Blige compensated with passionate vocals and impressive covers of classic soul songs, "blending motifs into each other like an expert DJ". Robert Christgau deemed the record Blige's "de facto best-of" in ''The Village Voice''; he explained in 2003 why it remained his favorite album of hers: Chart performance Track listing #"Intro" #" Real Love" #"You Remind Me ...

Day Dreaming (Aretha Franklin Song)
"Day Dreaming" is a soul single by American singer Aretha Franklin. Released from her album ''Young, Gifted and Black'', it spent two weeks at the top of the Hot Soul Singles chart in April 1972 and peaked at number five on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and number 11 on the Easy Listening singles chart. ''Billboard'' ranked it as the No. 61 song for 1972. Donny Hathaway plays electric piano on the song and Hubert Laws plays the flute. The single version omits the jazzy daydream-like music heard at the beginning and the ending of the track on the album, because the vocals sounded too psychedelic for most radio airplay. It had been rumored the song was about Temptations' singer Dennis Edwards, which was confirmed by Franklin in 1999 on ''The Oprah Winfrey Show''. It would be her twelfth number-one soul single while at Atlantic Records and sold more than one million copies. Cover versions The song has been covered by Mary J.
