[@Drebor94]

Fact: KZbin didn't suggest it to you, you thoroughly looked for it with old memories in your head.

[@jeaninejohnson7619]

[@tracygeene4710]

First time I ever saw this I couldn't believe what I was watching absolutely the greatest of all time

[@1corrsfan]

20 years on and this still gives me goosebumps. It’s phenomenal and I’d sell my last kidney to see them live. ❤

[@carolhayes7750]

I saw them live here in KC when they were in the States with the show. IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!

[@1corrsfan]

@@carolhayes7750 lucky you. I’m going to Ireland for my friends and my 50th in 2 years. We’re gonna find an Irish bar with Irish dancing, I can’t wait but the real lord of the dance is still on my bucket list

Me too !!!! JEsus, I tried to learn and memorize every dance.

[@PercivalC]

Wow... I'm almost 17 now, and my mom and dad used to watch this when i was really young. Its quite nostalgic to listen to this again, and makes me realise how quickly my life has gone by already. Also, being Irish is so unique and thats something amazing about the culture.

[@rathoresrishti8034]

Exactly. I love Irish culture. ☘️

I saw this when I was 14, my Uncle thought I'd enjoy it because I had already started Irish Dancing. To this day, it still gives me shivers when the flute starts 😍😁😁

[@nadinehoogenboezem4798]

Sounds amazing

[@MrAemandy]

Oh my goodness, watching this on KZbin sends shivers down the spine, Imagine the Atmosphere there. My Goosebumbs have Goosebumps. I will sum this in 1 word. Breathtaking!

Michael took all forms of dance to a new level, He found the commonality from all over to produce the Magic of the Feet!

[@charmainwilding1536]

Oh the beautiful memories this gives! My eldest, who is now 27 would watch this every day when he was 3! This went on for months 🥰 Thank you @MichaelFlatley for the energy, the memories and this onederful show! 🥰❤

Gillian is one of the most beautiful women ever. Her grace and sensuality are unsurpassed.

Ich sah diese Show 1998. Das war das tollste und schönste was ich bisher gesehen hatte. Und nun im Jahre 2022 bin ich wieder dabei.

[@tsubasangel343]

i went to see it with my dad when they came to chile, on of the few memories ill never forget :) loved the music

[@oc2phish07]

Absolutely stunning. What a terrific display of initial concept, art and animation skills as well as synchronisation of music. Totally amazed me.

[@patriciaschuster1371]

First time to see this on KZbin. Love this hymn but never understood why Flatley was synonymous with Lord of the Da ce. Now I know why! Thank you. Want thiplayed at my funeral. The Dance goes on!

[@МарияПавловна-ц4д]

Потрясающе!!! Пересматриваю видео постоянно. Очень нравятся Ирландские танцы..., ну и конечно в исполнении Майкла Флетли. Желаю дальнейших творческих успехов и счастья всем. 🤗

[@seanpaulcurran]

The chemistry of professionalism and dance between Gillian and Bernadette ..... cannot be replicated !

[@nahliinahlii778]

It’s absolutely beautiful

This tune never fails to make me emotional it is just superb and i cant praise it enough.

[@Tirananiel]

Seen this once in my life and I nearly cried, I love this music so much and it was surely one thing I'll remember for a life time, was so amazing. I simly Adore this show. I find myself trying to clap in tact to it but its to hard, can't keep up witht the shoe tapping!

[@IvanKalamazoo55]

absolutely amazing... the melody, the dance, everything in this song is amazing

[@helensmith1710]

Still is now in 2021 . Love it as much as when first began

Been taking tap lessons 10 years now, one day maybe I can be this good, I love to tap dance and I would love to be able to do something like this.

That is stunning, one of the best dances i have ever seen! '5 STAR'

[@MrBeth777]

Wow, wow and wow I am speechless!!! Sent chills down my back

[@noelle493]

I took my daughter to see it for her tenth birthday in Pensacola. We gave all of the DVDs except Dangerous Games. We loved it!

[@lisanidog8178]

This was the first one I saw on TV years ago. Amazed then amazed now.

[@lovelygivan1442]

I get goosebumps everytime I see that last stomp

[@forcewielder2000]

I get goosebumps when I hear the opening whistle. This is something that is very good to get goosebumps over, no matter which part you're listening to!

[@annettewoodyard8285]

My childhood ❤️ my mom always loves to point out how incredible it is how high they jump but don't make distance with the jump. It's perfect ❤️

[@cajunmariposa8304]

I’ve commented before, but I just want to say that listening to this with headphones on is so much better than without. You can hear every instrument and the taps seem so much more powerful.

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

Morgan Comer has overtaken this number. He will never surpass Michael Flatley, in my book. Michael will forever be the true Lord of the Dance. My favourite tune of all.

[@Blaksuperman88]

The whole performance is real nice, but there's something about the intro music that makes you want to listen to it again and again. so smooth.

[@maestroh2986]

I went to see him perform only because there was an extra ticket. By the end of the show I was literally screaming for more!

[@christineholmes2942]

Absolutely Amazing!! God given talent!!

Man, when i was ust a young lad, my mom signed both my brother and I up for Irish dancing. being the only guys, we feckin HATED it. Now watching this, because randomly last week i had one of the song playing in my head - i realise how badass these guys dancing are. Holy shit.

[@gudgalningen]

Man I was so surmised when I found out the "Lord" in "The Lord of the Dance" Actually is Jesus. Its from an old english hymn who would have guessed : O

[@RifleRunners]

:) Check out Lord of the Dance sung by the Dubliners, it's phenomenal. They sing a lot of traditional Irish music. It's one of the reasons why I like the music from Lord of the Dance so much is because I heard theirs first.

[@nukapuka]

Yes but he calls himself Lord of dance only. I don't think this is blasphemy.

[@Declan_Moriarty]

surmised? surmise is a verb, not a noun. don't you mean subsumed?

[@bmrp4749]

I actually had heard this hymn several times before I even knew about this song and dance. And at 2:32 The hymn itself is played. “Dance, then, wherever you may be, I am the Lord of the dance, said he, And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be, And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.”

[@kathleenforbes8138]

When I watch these people dance it dose send magic in my bodey.they are truley amazing .no wourds can describe the profesional coordination these dancers have.michael is truly a pro and its clear he loves his dancers.the love on the stage is magical.please foreverstaydancing michael and all the team .kathleen north cumbria

They finally came to my city a few years ago and I waited on the edge of my seat. The song came on and he went flying across the stage!!!...but it wasn't him! It was the new young guy they have now. And I was DEVASTATED! Granted the young guy did fine but I guess I just never factored in the Lord of the Dance would be anyone else.

[@Ellemerob]

To be fair Michael Flatley is 61 years of age.

[@m.rubland6737]

That´s absoulutely amazing!

Over the years Michael was panned for being arrogant. But as we say in the South, it ain't braggin' if you can do it. And man, can he do it.

MY DANCING SHOW TONIGHT AND IM IN THIS DANCE BUZZING:D:D:D

[@DanknDerpyGamer]

2:35 I wasn't sure, seeing other videos of this performance, but this slowed / close up shot ... so does he have taps on the sides of that part of his shoes? ... Please forgive me for probably being inconcise as hell with terminnology). I wonder if taps being on that part of the ... platforms for the heels? is a modification or something that people partaking in the dancing this is based on can do that the hard shoes are capable of doing normally (again, I know little about this, and the style of dance Lord of the Dance and Riverdance are derived from, but am keen to learn).

[@CrAzYRaBiT155]

simply amazing.

[@russellbreslauer]

The song/hymn Lord of the Dance was written in 1963 by Sidney Carter in England. The tune he chose is an old Quaker tune written in Maine in 1848 by Joseph Brackett called Simple Gifts. Sidney Carter was actually looking at a statue of Shiva (a Hindu God of India) who has the attribute translated as "Lord of the Dance" when he conceived of the song. In the UK Lord of dance has a copyright even though the tune it uses Simple Gifts also has a copyright. The tune sped up when it came to Ireland, and Michael Flatley and Ronin Hardiman presumed it was a long-time tune and tradition of Ireland. .
