憶蓮 Live 07 (Disc 1 & 2)
2005年久休復出林憶蓮自以《本色》回歸香港樂壇，在香港紅館舉行《夜色無邊演唱會2005》演唱會。事隔兩年多，Sandy終於在2007年11月在九龍灣國際展貿中心 Star Hall舉行一連10場《憶蓮Live 07》演唱會，成為首位歌手於新落成Star Hall演唱。舞台以白色簡約設計為主，憶蓮全晚換上兩套歌衫會樂迷，但現場音響效果一流，再加上憶蓮悅耳歌聲，博得觀眾掌聲如雷。
憶蓮在個唱選出非一般的大熱歌曲，25首現場作品均是她最愛歌曲，包括︰已故林振強作品「Incomplete」、「走在大街的女子」、「滴汗」，以及最新廣東及國語專輯《本色》和《呼吸》中的「日子」、「玩伴」、「再見悲哀」。演唱至輕快歌曲「逃離鋼筋森林」時，全場觀眾更興奮地站立拍和；而她自彈自唱歌曲「夢了」，令觀眾聽出耳油，此曲由好友倫永亮作鋼琴伴奏
a Lenny Kravitz - It's Time for A Love Revolution ( 2008)
b) 李壽全 : 8又二分之一 (1987)

January '08
a) Avenged Sevenfold - (average, sadly)
b) Joanna Wang, 王若琳 Start From Here
The most important album for January listening !
Got the album today.....you gotta have it. I kid you not. All tracks are diamonds. Noteworthy: listen to Track 11 "True"...yes that Spandau Ballet's ballad. She transformed it into her own song.
This Taiwanese songbird is simply astounding. She posses a voice like no other and to listen to her sing is simply a blessing! And......she's just 19 years old ! Her style is laid back jazzy and lounge atmospheric. The best time to listen: around midnight and beyond.
Joanna Wang - Queen of Midnight. Yes, that's what I am gonna call her. She will over Norah Jones, win over Sade, win over Lisa Ono and win over Diana Krall. She WINS Big Time !!!
Disc 1 - English songs (12 tracks)
Disc 2 - Chinese songs (5 tracks)
Definitely my top of the chart desert island disc.
