I was lucky enough to be a leading member of this dance company on this memorable evening. We seemed to float and glide through the air on invisible wires we couldn't sense, as we lept effortlessly in unison, and our perfectly together tapping feet, heavenly voices, and hauntingly beautiful music tingled through our hearts in time with the love we shared for everyone around us.

@Jens Nobel I'm part Irish, Scottish and pretty much everything across Europe & i hear you. I agree. I really loved all of the performances and it was akin to a global spectacle. The Irish producers invited musical talents from all over the world (which was super awesome) and we wouldn't have expected any less from the Irish, who organised this very special event. I really loved and appreciated them all & was so very Wowed, by the Spanish Dancer (so beautiful), the Russian dancers (amazing) & by the gorgeous looking & voiced African-American Choir & hard shoe dancers. There is definite talent all across the world. Just in ref to the African peoples, the many African tribes are brilliant natural movers and dancers. I witnessed this when i visited Africa. I think the African people are an underrated super talent. I love sharing this with people whenever i am able. We tend to place the spotlight upon our own (which is natural/fine), however, we live in a big wide world, with other human ethnic groups abound, hence a large percentage, of other amazing human talents abound.

I went with another friend from the chat room to see it and completely impressed and still to this day love this show. I went to Tulsa, OK to watch it again. Still impressed. In 1997 I went and stayed with another chat friend in San Antonio and saw Lord of The Dance with Michael Flatley. I enjoyed that very much too.

I am! Here it is July 2,2018! I've been watching all these KZbin renditions today. I'm so glad so many have surfaced for our listening and watching. I can't get enough of listening and watching Michael Flatley, anything he does or arranges. His dancing is brilliant, simply brilliant. His dancing and musical arrangements he orchestrates are breathtaking. May our Lord heal all his physical medical issues. Information on him and his incredible career is available by Googling his name. In May 2015, Flatley revealed that much of his vertebral column was irreparably damaged and that he had a damaged left knee, a torn right calf/triceps surae muscle, two ruptured Achilles tendons, a fractured rib, and a recurring broken bone in his foot. In November 2015, Flatley's show Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games premiered at the Lyric Theatre, a Broadway theater. Due to his injuries, Flatley was only able to perform in the final two numbers of the performance. After shows in New York, Flatley went on a final tour in the United States. Flatley's last show was in Las Vegas on St. Patrick's Day 2016. Trump inauguration In January 2017, Flatley introduced his troupe for a performance at the inauguration of Donald Trump. While the decision was controversial, Flatley called it "a great honour".

I can't dance and though cancer treatments to my throat robbed me of my hearing for 2 years . Some has come back and with excellent headphones I can get lost in this wonderful show of human talant bar none! I never tire of it.

Live long and prosper!! From Richmond VA 🙂🙂

You'll be fine.

[@bretwhitmore8855]

Everyone can dance, friend, even if only in their souls. I have no doubt you put Mr. Flatley to shame for the survivor's spirit you have. You are an inspiration to us all. You just keep on dancing and be well, Allen. Meanwhile the rest of us will try in our own ways to keep up!

[@beverleydabell3241]

Just watched for the millionth time, always spectacular, always gives me chills! Makes every hair on my body stand up. I never tire of watching this show. I have to say it's the most spectacular stage show I have ever seen in my life! x 👏👏👏🥁👯‍♀️👯‍♀️👯‍♀️👯‍♀️👯‍♀️💃👏👏👏

[@77.88.]

We thank all of you for some of the most beautiful dancing ever presented.

[@samhebel]

I have my elementary music teacher to thank for introducing me to Riverdance. She'd put this on a few times a year for us, and while the other kids got bored and talked through it, I was always front row & glued to the screen. I would borrow the VHS from our local library back to back, and it was my favorite choice for sick days. I will never be sick of this; it's timeless.

[@larrymcbuck9527]

SAME! When I was middle school my music teacher had her class pick out a vhs (or DVD if you had one) of a primarily music oriented video. We would pick from a bowl of names who's to watch that week and analyze them. I was the first one to get picked and I brought this vhs - I don't remember a time when there was NOT talking during this. Kids payed attention to 8 mile or rocky horror picture show, but this never a care in the world - yet my teacher at the end of the year praised me for bringing somthing NOT the norm lol. Part of me REALLY wishes I could watch this live when Flatley was preforming - but I guess this is as close as I can get to it

[@jeanninepickard6387]

My science teacher let us watch this in class today

[@donpaladino]

I wish I knew how to spell AMEN in Gaelic. 🙂

@@NexusIncorporation so this is ballet with no arms?

[@NexusIncorporation]

@@stevethea5250 I wouldn't say Ballet at all it's a certain kind of Dance, sure so is ballet as well, i know but tapp-dance is a whole other thing tho

[@Semper_fi_777]

A fan for years. Entire presentation incredible. That Uilleann Pipes performance was beyond the sky......from HEAVEN itself. Damn. Just awesome!

[@gailwebb9619]

I was lucky enough to see them in person....what an experience! Have the DVD and watch it periodically. I saw an interview with Michael Flatly and he said during rehearsals and shows he would go through a couple of pairs of shoes a week and had to eat up around 5,000 calories a day to keep from losing weight!

[@TheUnderthehouse]

During the quarantine, this is perfect...I get goose bumps every time

Same but I also cry. Lol

Simply Amazing. I remember watching this as a teenager in 1995. Wow Michael and his dance crew are amazing.

[@Marmite695]

How beautiful. How evocative. How spiritual! YES, people are watching this, even if they only stumble acros it.

[@OdeeOz]

God how I miss my mother in-law, who loved this show, and bought me the video, that we play several times a year to honor her memory. 👍👍& 10⭐

[@KHH595]

A family friend got me this when I was 5 years old and my older sister and I used to spend hours watching and recreating the dances. I remember completely being in awe at the performance of Siuil A Run too. Broke out in chills and literally teared up seeing this after so many years. Still as beautiful as I remembered.

[@OdeeOz]

I cannot think _ever having seen music, and dance compliment one another with so much energy, joy, and heart stirring emotion evoked,_ as when I first saw this way back in the 90's.

[@Blackadder75]

Dangerous World Tour (October 1, 1992) is another candidate

[@michaelafong5815]

The serration and conservation of the choreographer in choosing each performance makes me never lose interest I am fixated.to riverdance music and beautiful tap dancing well done

[@gophercatcher9451]

i'm trying to get them to come to cour d alene, idaho in the US. i'll be moving there in July and it would be a great backdrop for all these young performers. Just beautiful work by riverdance team. You are loved.

[@ananimity7332]

WOW!!!! I smiled so hard my face hurts. I clapped at home when they were done each pieces. I had goosebumps! Absolutely beautiful! Such talent!

Dude, I have dreams about Jean Butler. She's GORGEOUS. This got it started for me. I love and respect their awesome talent. The show still gives me chills

[@bovax6259]

Holy Crap! The memories that flow from seeing this again. This very show launched my families and my love affair of Irish music. Celtic music on CD, Celtic Woman and Celtic Thunder of which we have many CD's and TV specials. To this day they still have better knees than I do. :P

[@RicardoAng]

2019 anyone? I remember watching this on PBS. Happy St. Patrick's Day.

[@marshadowns7714]

Yes, watching it on St. Paddy's Day, 2019. Wow!! Can't believe it was so many years ago I first saw it.

[@robc.5745]

AMAZING !

[@darkwaltz00]

I still have the VHS tape! Had to find a new copy because our 1995 version has been worn down from so many viewings.

[@antoinevanmieghem5292]

superb after all these years

[@bernicedings6745]

Most definately, on a regular basis. Went to the show shortly afterwards and it gave an absolute fresh/new impulse. Love it

[@HaroldC4000]

Had to come back for a 3rd visit. I get the usual chills watching this beautiful dance.

[@josemiguelpolyglot]

How can there be any non-likers? What did you guys expect? Full HD from 1995's TV ? If you ask me, this is totally mind-blowing, even better than the show's 2010's version!

[@NeoSoldner]

Oh yes, the original is EASILY the best. While the 1996, 2002, and 2010 versions added some good numbers, they will never beat the original.

[@d.e.b.b5788]

Some people prefer rap and break dancing....you know, dancing masturbation.

[@zackhenderson4995]

Yes, this is THE version.

[@somebuilds]

Yes it is... super amazing. I watched this as a kid and I loved it so much. Brings back memories.

[@tehlandstander4696]

This has only ever been released on VHS, which is a crime.

[@BFCrusader]

This particular performance will stand the test of time.

[@jenniferdaulby5519]

We went to see this production of Riverdance in 1997 in Brisbane, Australia. Colin Dunn & Jean Butler were the principal dancers. "Lift the Wings" is my favourite song. It was a magnificent night out. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

[@davemc573]

The uilleann pipes bring tears to my eyes every time I hear this rendition. My wife and I were fortunate enough to see this show at the Congress in Chicago about 20 years ago. This performance took me back......Thanks guys!

I was just talking about this today with a friend. This was one of my favorite movies growing up! I’m so going to watch this all the time now!

[@marilynward1928]

Still LOVE watching it! So glad that this came out when it did. My 11 yr old daughter at the time started Irish Dancing and we were involved in it for many years. Loved watching my daughter carry on this tradition that her great-grandfather did in Ireland. Many fond memories of traveling to Ireland and her dancing in the town her great-grandmother was from. Saw Riverdance and Lord of the Dance both several times

[@janellirving4625]

Then a beautiful peaceful flute makes me want to share these experiences with others The backdrop of ducks flying south for winter is ideal to welcome in summer and to eagerly await for the next winter bedecked with white shining snow The alto solo sung by a beautiful woman dressed in a lovely gown and the acompanying flute makes me feel im in the artic region ! Well.done!

[@fiercesoulfire2253]

I was blessed to see this masterpiece with my late Mom in Auckland, New Zealand and to this day remember all of it. The entire venue was a boiling cauldron. People were on their feet during the mass performances. No one could sit still. Both my Mom and I were grinning from ear to ear till our cheeks hurt. It was so so good. Bravo and thank you so much to all of you wonderful beings who brought so much joy to so many! ❤❤❤

This entire performance speaks to my whole entire being on such a deep and powerful level. I cannot begin to explain how or why. My soul feels it all just as it did when I was a child, and perhaps even more so now as an adult. I love it with such a burning passion.
