They're all wonderful! Yes, that has to be the definitively best performance of "Over The Rainbow"! And after listening to "Summer Fly" again, I want to kill that violinist even more!!  Oh, and thanks for fixing my links Richard.  I was rushed this morning and didn't have time.  -Taylor i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |

Yes, Summer Fly was the best I've ever heard her perform it. Amazing Grace was extra stunning, too. Well, pretty much everything was!  I was especially thrilled with You Raise Me Up, though, despite the strange beginning by the string section.  I would gladly stand in that line for as long as necessary, if it meant I would finally meet Hayley!! |

That queue for autograph is sure impressive. No wonder Hayley goes to Taiwan every year. The fans support are awesome! Her hand must be sore after each session.  |

I agree. It is a very cute and happy song, perfect for Hayley. Though the other musicians on stage need to "smile" more!!! |

Love those photos of Hayley in her floral dress. I noticed that Hayley's band members are the same as at the Brancott Estate concert and also the earlier Paradiso tour of NZ

Thank You Tyler Chen for these wonderful recordings of a concert I had absolutely no chance of being at. |

and the applause that accompanied it was amazing. EDIT: Summer fly, best performance of this too XD Best concert ever... Hi Simba - As good as it is, I would still rate Summer Fly from Shepherd's Bush as being my all time favourite. Here's also a Youtube video of the audio that I made a few years back - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl_lnM21pb4It features the grand Fiona Pears on fiddle - who just blows it out of the water! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |

I think that my favourite out of all of these is Flowers in the Rainy Night / Amazing Grace. www.youtube.com/watch?v=avDFxRreato&feature=share&list=PLUYpbwLY-OnuXJyCOvb0TW6JtzsjXERte Check out the high notes on 'to sing God's praise' at 4:04 - if it sounds that good on a fan recording, imagine what it sounded like actually being there!!?? I just love Flowers in the Rainy Night - that is the Mandarin song that I wish Hayley would do a studio recording of. It's perfect. Here is another recording of the complete song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEgXttxYuIoThousand Winds is also just gorgeous. I was also really impressed by Somewhere Over the Rainbow www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrCaHbhbn_M&list=PLUYpbwLY-OnuXJyCOvb0TW6JtzsjXERte That's the best I've heard Hayley sing it. I think because it's deeper and not 'sweet' - because it's actually quite a sad song. I also like the way Hayley went for a deeper and more powerful finish on the last 'why oh why can't I?' Great stuff. Although, I think that I can't help but compare any performance of this song to Judy Garland's performance during a WWII radio broadcast (which is one of my favourites): www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUwN1kKIr-M |

By the way, I really wonder whether these special Mandarin songs of Hayley's are going to be recorded?
Since 2009, Hayley has been to Asia almost twice a year doing tours with songs such as The Moon Represents My Heart and Flowers in the Rainy Night and Baby being heavily promoted.
It seems that Asia is quickly becoming Hayley's fastest growing fanbase. It almost seems a bit odd that her fans can't buy copies of these songs. Japan even gets special edition tracks for their albums and Hayley hasn't toured there in quite a while.
Special edition new album for Taiwan perhaps?
Cheers,
Jillian

I guess I was talking about Hayley's singing, and not the backing, I personally liked this performance more than any other summer fly because of her glissandos that she did at places like, Universe inside my 'room' and then 'june', which were more appropriate to the genre of this song, and also the ornamentations and riffs that she did at quite some places were very impressive |
