Whew...that was hard! 

Haha! I told Emma in person my fave line of the whole 20th concert is the "wash & wring" one. She said, "Oh this one?" and did the flamenco style hand clapping briefly.

Here's a version of 'Si Do Mhaimeo I' with Lisa and Mairead C.

How cool you got to tell her!! My line that really ignited me that she is an official CW is the part clap sowed a coat of the finest kind" love love her she has really impressed me she's as impressive and dynamic as Mairead C except Mairead isn't a newbie! Her huge smile when they are dancing around in this song shows her passion of dancing which is quite telling for a first time Celtic Woman dancer aside Mairead Nesbitt 😏!

I'll try again. If I'm wrong this time, that'll be 3 strikes. So we'll have to rely on someone smarter than me. 

Is it 'Si Do Mhaimeo I'?
- It isn't 'original' in that they didn't write it. But it is 'original' in that it's on the original album.
- It was later redone as a duet on the Emerald tour. I don't think it was re-done after that as a duet or group performance.

👏

Congratulations! 🎊  You win the finest coat sewed from Emma!

It wasn't re-done after that Emerald Tour version but Meav did Guest on Destiny and sang a new touch solo version alongside with Mairead Nesbitt on the violin so it's pretty different in ways too.. I do say the duet was one of the phenomenal evolution ✨️ evolvement for that song. What is a real bummer is there was so many rotational versions that we couldn't listen to from anyone on the internet.

Meav and Mairead C - Found
Lynn and Mairead C - Emerald Tour so Def Found, X also
Lynn and Alex - unfound
Alex and Mairead C - unfound
Eabha and Mairead C? Did they keep that song for the fall tour because it dawns me there couldn't be a clip of Eabha with Carlin...

... The Christmas videos played! 

There was one video for each of the 4 tracks on the Christmas Cards from Ireland EP. In the order they appeared in the Holiday Edition Postcards special:
- O Holy Night
- I Saw Three Ships
- Silent Night
- The Toys' Waltz

I wasn't a big fan of the EP. None of the tracks worked very well for me. But just like Postcards, somehow seeing the emotion the girls were pouring into the songs made a huge difference. All the problems with the arrangements and mixing got supplanted by the visual treat unveiled on the screen.

It's interesting here @CwazyTom somehow state's there was 1 video for each of the 4 tracks!

@rfcw: Do you mean they just didn't release it as a video single? Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me since they should already have the video shot & ready to go. I could only find this:

@LakersCeltics Yes

Such a Beautiful rendition of Auld Layne Syne!😱

@CWazyTom
Sounds fun! Thanks for posting. I remember you said this was your next concert after CW Christmas. (You also said you were getting sick.)

My favorite part of your reports are always the after show part. Nice idea on the Christmas cards!

I miss Susan! I'm glad to see she is still at the top of her game. My local PBS has been showing Postcards Holiday Edition. So I get to see her that way. I hope she can make some guest appearances on the 20th anniversary tour.

Just to confirm they didn't play or showcase O Holy Night version of Postcards from Ireland Holiday Edition! On sneak trailers were scenes however the song music video for that one didn't release. I wonder why .

I chose 20th Anniversary because the dueling fiddles was so awesome!

For that very reason I agree 😊 I haven't thought of that since I was more going with which sound, chores, style...

How can they literally skip Alex and Lynn again with no SFTH! >*
