Michael Flatley rare performance Royal Variety Show

[@rebelgabriel4308]

I don't think there will ever be anybody as great as Michael Flatley.

[@paigeleigh2554]

Absolute genius! Love, love, love Michael Flatley.

[@bbrose10]

I swear, I could watch Michael Flatley perform all day long!

[@Baount]

I just LOVE how in sync they are with eachother , that's truely amazing work

[@Brendamac1000]

I just love this dance and music.. I was so fortunate to see both the river dance and the lord of the dance in Halifax. It is the best of the best... Being a Cape Bretoner and seeing this you cannot imagine how much I love it...May tap dancing never end

[@Lovisa92]

Thank you michael for all your performences throughout the years...

[@sarahhall2087]

I just love the 'countdown' from 10 -1 at the 2:23 mark - the beat countdowns -The whole performance is AMAZING!

[@NativeMoon]

I am very glad to see this clip and thanks for uploading it. For myself I will say that Michael is great at his job; knows he's been blessed with a tremendous gift; and appreciates hard work and how he could have still been the chap digging ditches if he hadnt been so determined to do something better for himself. Irish dance is all the better for it and you cant take that away from him. For once its great to see someone whose talent is more than equal to their confidence

[@biggestr0n]

Still brilliant after all these years! Moved to tears.

[@xxBluebitsy92xx]

Can you imagine how tired you'd be after that dance? holy cow. great work. Absolutely brilliant.

[@Goody2shoesambe]

electrifying, mesmerizing and completely spellbinding outstanding

[@AdamLambertLove97]

After watching Michael Flatley dance on here, I asked my mom to sign me up for tap dancing so one day I will finally be able to do this! All this moment is just too amazing to put in words! Riverdancing has become a part of my life!

[@doritosboy5590]

riverdance is a show ,, not a dance style ;)

[@KenfromDublin]

Irish composer, Irish production, Irish choreographer, Irish traditional dancing, Irish dancers, makes me so proud to be Irish,

[@chris050987]

Brilliant, like most LOTD stuff. And the cheers at the end.. AWESOME.

[@aoife92]

Love the dancing and Love the music! best type of dance there is. did it for a while and watching things likme this always make me wish i'd never quit!

[@Quesal]

that's really cool. I could definitely see and hear bits and pieces from the final version of the show. VERY COOL!

[@japope1982]

michael flatley at his greatest - i hope he makes a speedy recovery from his recent ill health and gets back to the stage asap!

[@Declan_Moriarty]

LOVE the synth music

[@79destiny]

Michael Flatley has got to be one of the best irish dancers i have seen. I have seen all his shows on dvd and i definately think that Lord of the Dance (Feet of Flames) has got to be the best

[@eighthdoctor]

Absolutely fantastic.

[@eltibor]

Coming from Cuba, an Alien culture and system I never had a chance to listen or view something as beautiful as Irish and Gaelic dance. God bless you!

[@Gpiggies4ever]

That really does make you lost for words. Fantastic!

[@bbfnbb]

Thanks for all the years of entertainment Michael!

[@serenadonnet8169]

C'est loin 2006 nous sommes debut 2020 il est toujours aussi super Michael quel talent j'adore ♥️🇨🇭♥️💕🕺🕺

[@Blogengezer]

During an interview with Michael and Bernadette, they showed what a lifetime of intense step dancing has done to their feet. What a sacrifice to perform for our pleasure. I am amazed that they can still walk.

[@ericb3323]

Great VIDEO... i love the firstpeice of music cha'mone!

[@derbastian1]

omg, he is the best performer ever:) please more of them.

[@DK-jy4jb]

I like how this video shows his entire body head-to-toe for almost every shot, with not too much cutting (and no shots of the audience). Seems like a simple idea, but too many "dance" videos (especially the moronic "Britain's Got Talent") show more of the audience that the dancers.

[@zenayonce]

Oh my God. Amazing!!!!! He even did Michael Jackson moves, glorious. shout out from angola, africa.

[@FunkyThings11]

I love this vid !! I can't believe how much effort it takes to be a Irish dancer. -3

[@singer2be256]

I recognize some of these tap patterns from Distant Thunder

[@willowbean7123]

Absolutely the best!

[@forsakenrose88]

awesome... i want that song in the final part . God...it's such a good dancer !

[@doritosboy5590]

its called "Victory"

[@ferchorps2224]

there is a big diference between great dancer and great choreographer. Colin Dunne is the biggest Irish Dancer but he is not choreographer. Michael is both, choreographer & dancer.

[@gurlUBtripN]

It's so ironic that the name Michael belongs to the two best dancers in the world ... =)

[@Magicttmt]

There have been four total standing ovations (I heard on the tele tonight)

[@stotty15]

Its allmost hypnotic isnt it?.. the ways they move and stuff.. its realy cool... id love to learn how to do that.. realy great vid btw

[@Scandilady]

The Royal Variety Show was always done in the London Palladium it then became favorite and was moved to the Royal Albert Hall, which is larger than the Palladium. HRH the Queen always was amused to attend.

[@esplota]

the best !! absoluty fantastic

[@Drewtazy]

Amazing!

[@ericb3323]

Hey Enya , nice to see another Curran in the house !!

[@jcz1996]

Oh god, man! Do you know, that for most people of the world the irish dance is amusing to watch? So it makes sense more than showing it in Ireland.

[@doritosboy5590]

and through out the performance there are also refferences to "warlords" and "planet ireland"

[@nicolasmoralestorres7301]

false, the references are: first piece of, of Fire, warlords, final step of Cry Of The Celts, and the music: victory

[@RJA_World]

@@nicolasmoralestorres7301 The First group dance is definitely a rough version of warlords and the last group dance is definitely a rough version of victory. There's no obvious references to cry of celts, though.

[@RJA_World]

@@nicolasmoralestorres7301 I beg your pardon, yes the very final bit is part of cry of the celts.

[@Toepherit67]

I've never seen this clip before. love it

[@BladesOrsi]

Beautiful! Super!!!!!!

[@Phaedrax2]

Loved it!

[@bowler8]

Michael is amazing

[@corinnechilpretre1765]

Michael Flathley est à ce jour inégalé et en plus il est beau...

[@r0eladn]

this flatley guy. he cracks me up. in a good way

[@bellasparrow]

i love that step they do at 2:01... that sounds and looks soo cool!! :)

[@misslep91]

great performance

[@ritafoliveira]

Oh my gosh, he's the best i love to see him dance.

[@scbene]

thanks for posting this. great stuff!!!

[@Clo7462]

Wow both Gilian Norris and Daire Nolan were already working with Michael ! They were just the best troup with Bernadette Flynn and Helen Egan :)

[@Telberis]

Michael Flatley The KING! The best dancer!

[@IFINEVERSING]

this was a concert at THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL for THE PRINCES TRUST. The fabulous Michael Flately!

[@SpiritHawk7]

Wow, that was really good!

[@psy472]

Not the greatest irish dancer but a great performer. How he expresses himself and the mood of each performance is far better than his current replacements.

[@CrunchyCatholic5]

Awesome!

[@gaggi52]

this is great

[@Nixie26]

Michael Flatly is an artist; he knows how to use body language and sound. He has absolute self-control and synchronicity.

[@Judy-sb5sw]

Hey not bad what a shock.I hadn't ever even heard of you but I saw you on my phone wow that was a good thing Judy Foster by

[@kancz]

Why is somebody cocky if he believes in himself and in what he is doing? He created something for eternity, he is idols for thousands of young dancers!!!!!

[@tbenzadrine]

I will always love the Irish Dance and Michael Flatley. For people that don't like him just get the hell out of here. Why view and comment on something you don't like?

[@JumaHoliday]

Great video! I really enjoyed! *.*:)

[@MrSean677]

People say Michael Jackson is a great dancer, Well the people that say he is the best have the wrong Michael, this Michael is the best

[@weeardguy]

It's just what you like. For me, I find that Flatley is always a bit over the top. It could also be that I just like the traditional style more (what the girls are doing) because of the fact I see it in class everytime ;) Colin Dunne, one of Flatley's replacements in the Riverdance shows, is my all-time favourite ;)

[@joe196798]

I give this a standing ovulation

[@uranne]

thanks for the info. sounds great! i really want to try it :)

[@xlongyujax]

It does it to me too so when i saw that on friends, i was cracking up.

[@DrivenUpTheWall1]

@KenfromDublin Nice to get a reply not filled with blasphemy and hatred. And in respect to yr comment , this was the royal variety show and they were given a standing ovation at the end which was only the second time there has actually been a standing ovation for anyone at the "now dire" rvp.

[@HorrorFestUser]

whats the name of the song starting at 1:35 till the end?

[@rebelgabriel4308]

The man is a GOD!

[@wisemagic18]

awesome

[@Mandowner]

Its some version from "Lord of the dance (Album) - Victory" I love this too... the best preformence ever is from hayden park - feet of flames!!

[@vetherantis]

its the finale on feet of flames. :)

[@IvliaC]

It's called Strings Of Fire.... and it is the first violin solo in LOTD but it's not on the Soundtrack.....

[@SKaluskar]

It should be on the Lord of the Dance soundtrack, its one of Michael Flatley's shows.

[@Limecapp]

awesomeness

[@Marco1671]

he totally owns that stage :)

[@irishballetdancer]

Classic combo of moves for this sound, it's fun to watch and perform

[@doritosboy5590]

from that point .. when the music kicks in .. that part is "Victory" from Lord of the Dance

[@ValleyDolls8]

why is tap dance music so...awesome/nice/fantasic/delightful...(don't know the word for it)

[@bellasparrow]

i *love* that thing he does at 0:32 ...soo cool! :)

[@paulcunliffe4158]

Dam good , excellent

[@TheYasminarf]

WOOOW

[@twilight0406]

Michael ist ein super Tänzer, so schnell kann man manchmal gar nicht schauen, seine Füße sind so schnell, einfach klasse!

[@jenaosa1224]

i jusat love it when everyone is in unison :-)

[@hph8uziz]

Have you heard of Tap Dogs? They are Australian and I have been to a performance where they used water - got pretty wet sitting in the front row! Don't know if there is a Vid. The movie they made called Bootmen have a water scene at the end.

[@HaibyHoney]

he`s tha man!!!

[@HorrorFestUser]

and 2:20.. with the drums and base?

[@elfersmary]

nobody does it better!

[@Kelly-just-kelly]

nobody can dance like this man, i went to see riverdance last week at the apollo hammersmith , the choreography was shabby, there was about 30% dance and 70% instumental. there was a woman playing a bloody violin that was so screetchy i put my ipod on lol

[@stuffles26]

can anyone tell me the song they use at the start plz?

[@uranne]

i'm from the philippines. thanks for the info :)

[@kobrazak]

Wow! This is irish dancing? Cool, this rocks. I love river dancing and the beat it has.

[@inawhirl15]

amazing!! i cant stop watching MF videos! :)

[@agnostyx]

Yessss!!!!

[@weeardguy]

Don't forget that what you see here is VERY modern Irish dance, or as some people call it, 'macho-irish dance' When you search for a school the first thing you will be taught is the fact that you have to keep your arms straight. But besides that, it could be you have all the fun in the world: age isn't so much of a problem (or at least, it isn't here, I'm 24 now and I started lessons about 10 months ago...)

[@JoakimFigge]

2:00 - 2:07 is just sooo effin nice...god i love it, damn he knows how to choreograph!!

[@godmancoco]

you should also whach the druids from michael flatleys concert they have nice effect and texture
