EUROPEAN "Better" Tour (SPRING 2017)

[Tusk]

When's the next show!!!

Waiting for that "Fall tour announcement" after the HR3 Summer release

---

The only downside is recording videos takes away from the full experience of the show a little. I was right in front so couldn't capture everyone in the band either. I recorded about 2/3s of the show but on a couple videos I hear some singing along. could that be me?? sorry....

Funny, from my perspective, the short term loss of the "full experience" of seeing a show because I'm videoing is balanced out by the fact that I get to 're-live' the show again and again long after the show is over through the videos.

One would think that I would be burned out editing so many videos of so many shows, but I really can't get enough of watching Haley perform, whether in TeamHaleyFans video or from other shows....

My short term memory has always been poor but each day, I can log onto Youtube and relive these shows again. My eyesight has never been great, but when I video, I would make sure the camera/phone is lined up, then watch the show past the camera, so I don't really miss anything. If I get a wide enough shot, I can do post video editing to crop out, or reframe the shot.... Like for instance, because of the garish light set up in Berlin, I came away thinking I would get the fewest videos from there, and although I enjoyed my whole time in Germany w/ XAtlantic and his daughter, I felt a little disappointed that I left some 'memories' of the show because of the poor video.

Now that I'm home, with a PC and speakers instead of laptop and earbuds, I was able to take a fresher look at the video I took in Berlin, reliving that performance through the videos, I've decided of the 3 shows I saw, Berlin might have been my favorite of Haley's performances. The audio for Berlin wasn't near as poor as I thought it was when I first listened to it on my laptop. Haley has fun with her band and audience at every show, but the venue, Haley's outfit, the vibe of the show, I would say Berlin's show had the most 'character' and I loved that I could relive them through video I didn't think I could work with and post

Berlin's performance of Behave, after I worked w/ it, is now my favorite performance of that song (used to be Solana Beach)

Paris, arguably the 'best' show of the 3 I saw in terms of the fun Haley was having on stage, her french accent, how the Parisian fans responded to anytime Ray was featured, drums and vocals, and the impression of the band itself, that Paris was a special performance.

Ironically, London was the show I had the best 'fan' experience because they didn't give camera access, I ended up spending alot of time with other fans and got to be in the front row after ages of being far in the back to try and capture good, unclipped, unbuzzing audio. London is the set I will post all the songs from, is my favorite, front row fan experience, yet my favorite show of the 3 I saw is the one that was in a cozy, dark and garishly lit venue in Berlin where Haley dressed the part of a 60's era siren, appropriate for the covers she sang....

Before I left for my trip to Europe, there was an interview in which Haley was asked what the difference was between US and European crowds. Haley observed that there seemed fewer Euro fans videoing, that they were more into enjoying the show... I don't think that was meant as a 'shot' at US fans, more an observation, and from my perspective, she or Team Haley can't have minded me doing it so much, as I was eventually allowed on my discretion (after running two videos through them) to post what video I saw fit, without the need for them to OK it.

And as you see in Haley's recent Instagram, Team Haley was able to make use of the various media and videos we fans provided from the shows to make an effective and fun montage recap of Haley's Euro tour
