That night the "half time performance" stole the entire show!
true, no other interval show comes close
@@TapMd
Didn't that happen with Janet Jackson.😁
The whole world fell in love with Irish dancing after this performance.
I am astounded at the level of strength and endurance displayed here. That dance looks exhausting! But it is amazing to watch.
Yes very beautiful
What was intended as the interval act stole the whole show a d became an international phenomenon. This was something special
I'm 52 and my ankles are STILL recovering from years of Irish Dancing from my childhood! Some of those dances play havoc on our ankles and shins. But, well worth it when you see the reaction of the audience.
did you have to put your feet in ice after performing?
@@vallee3140 Back then bags of ice in the local shop was unheard of. Basin of cold water from the tap was the norm.
@@TheGreenhillsCyclist but did it help much?
@@vallee3140 Yes it did. Help a great deal.
I used to employ 20 Irish girls in the summer season as chambermaids in my hotel. They’d roll up all innocent and crying as they missed their Mammies. Every Saturday night we’d go to our local and boy could those girls drink, Merrydown cider and pints of snakebite! We’d get in a lockdown and then they’d dance. The local lads were smitten, spent many an evening with kicked shins and bruised ankles trying to be taught the basics but what fun we had. My job was to keep them all happy, in one piece and try and be a surrogate Mam. First job to get them up on a Sunday morning so they could all turn up for mass. They could dance and sing like angels yet I had to teach them all how to make a bed as their Mammies did everything for them. Happy days!
Apart from the Irish dancing which is beautiful, I love the drums, it wakes something almost primal within me, especially the Bodhran ❤
It's what makes us Irish. My 8 year old granddaughter just started Irish dancing. Makes me so proud.
I saw this live with my wife, who was a dancer. It was one of the most amazing things that both of us had ever seen. Makes me cry every time.
The people I really envy are the ones in the audience that night who were caught totally unaware of what to expect! It must have been a mind blowing experience,..........I’m from Ireland and I “ might” be a tad biased!🥰
I definitely felt it that night and wished I was there. The audience jumped to their feet!!!❤
Craziest thing about thisbwas that it wasnt even the main event 😂 it was an interval and it completely blew the main event away.
This is IRISH. IRELAND is not a part of briitain or the U.K.
Just part of the British isles
YES!!!
The United Kingdom (UK) is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
@@AlainnCorcaigh 'British Isles' is a 17th Century deliberately created British propaganda-ist term designed to lay claim to Ireland, it is not a proper geographical term and is not used in Ireland.
Thank You!!!!!!! I live in the United States. This is a sore spot for a lot of us who are Irish to be considered British. You would be amazed at how many people still think of England owning all of IRELAND! Smh
I am a rock/metal fan, but this is truly genius. It’s MUSIC, involving instruments, skill and practice.
I love our Black sisters involved in our culture, already many nice fusions AFRICA-IRELAND. We're blessed!
Thank you
I defy anybody not to be moved and amazed when they first see this...astonishing versatility..astounding finesse
It still gives me chills every time
It amazes me
I’m so proud of the Irish blood that pulses through my veins when I watch this ❤😊
Desde luego, es una maravilla a mi me emociona y eso que soy francés pero cuando ves algo tan hermoso oufffffff.
Me too Erin Go Bragh Ireland Forever 🇮🇪
Every time I watch this, it's as fresh and exciting as it was the first time that night. Amazing.
I feel blessed to have watched this live, it still makes me feel that I'm watching this for the first time, it will never be beaten
I was 9 years old when this was broadcast live, I remember seeing it like it was yesterday. I knew I was witnessing something great and was so excited by what I saw I had troubles sleeping that night. Truly a masterpiece.
Irish step dancing is the ancestor of American tap dance. The rules for step dancing had been rigidly enforced for 200 years until Michael Flatley (along with a few others) realized that we had learned much about choreography and presentation during that period of time. What could be done, they wondered, to improve performance while still keeping to those rigid rules? The result was Riverdance. Its success enabled Flatley to create Lord Of The Dance which eliminated those rigid rules completely.
Irish dancing of all creeds is dated back for thousands of years Riverdance was a vibrant upgrade from its ancestors.
I remember sat in front on the TV watching this live as it happened. That beautiful haunting music just hypnotises you at the beginning. I dont remember any of the eurovision singers from that night but this is forever etched in my memory. Its lovely watching someone experience it for the first time, your face was just a look of pure astonishment and love! ❤
Dia dhuit as Éireann 🇮🇪 Hello from Ireland , there is River Dance and also Lord of the Dance . You can see some of the dances from that show also . Glad you enjoyed watching Irish dancing unique to Ireland 🇮🇪. Do chara Pilib , ( your friend Pilib ) 😊
Welcome to Riverdance! Every time you watch it (I think I’ve watched this at least 100 times in the last 30 years), your body will have the same reaction! Mine does, every single time.
But thanks so much for sharing your first reaction with us 🙏🏼 I love that you loved it 🥰
So good!
Hi Reactor 👍🏾 i remember this EUROVISION song contest from DUBLIN IRISH.1994❤️👁️🤯🇸🇪. i am from sweden and we are not famous dance people🎶👍🏻 like your country JAMAICA 🇯🇲 Everybody love Dance in Jamaica 🎶👍🏻 but i remember this Saturday 1994 when i saw this beautiful culture irish dance i was in chock because we always get on News about bombing and shooting in years from irish..so when i see 👁️ this RIVERDANCE performance it was just woderful and all the Swedish people as dancing to work in monday morning in Riverdance style ha ha ha ha ha. And it was wonderful to see 👁️ your react just because you are from a dancing culture the first you telling was that you know who hard this dance is to perform 🤯👍🏾🇯🇲. THX for a good reaction to Irish culture RIVERDANCE 🇸🇪❤️🇯🇲❤️🇸🇪
That's really moving thank you
That makes my heart sing love from Ireland.
I hope you look around a little more because that is just one part of the entire evening performance. There were some amazing performers that night. I've seen this I don't know how many times and still it makes me emotional. That performance literally broke World Records because of the speed of Michael and Jean's feet. This went viral without the aid of the internet.
Dance, song, and music are the universal language. It's a beautiful thing; no matter where you come from you can always find this language that connects us all.
still makes me cry every time,,saw it first live in dublin and to see it so is the only to do justice to the power of the music and dance
What it has, that few seem to mention, is huge power through restraint. By holding back on arm movement and keeping it highly focussed it has a great sense of implied power
I was halfway up the stairs (nobody watches the halftime show!) and talking to my wife, who was downstairs. Suddenly, this incredible sound permeated my brain.....what the hell is this
I still remember watching this performance - it was unbelievable
Your beautiful face. Your reaction is amazing. 🇨🇮
😊 thank you
Having seen River dance live, it was truly incredible. So what if I'm part Irish!!!! Lol And if you think it was easy just look at how hard they are all breathing when it finishes. Truly athletes!!!!!!
Was driving home from west of Ireland to Dublin that night ,listened to it on the car radio and was blown away, amazing !
I have seen three things in my life that stunned me. One was Jean-Michelle Jarres mega concert in Huston. One was Shen Yun (look them up, now touring) … and the third. Guess what. Watching this at 12 years of age it hit me like a sledgehammer.
I love my Irish roots I love this
I love my irish roots too.
Y'all need to check out the entire show, performed about a year after this. Little over an hour and a half of OMG.
Greetings from Ireland ☘️
Ireland here. Nice one :)
Thanks irieland for coming
Your reaction is so genuine and sweet.
Thank you
4.25 - here comes the peacock!
6.06 - like a moth to the flame!
thank you for letting me share the riverdance with you¬
Thank you
Thanks , great reaction, love from Ireland
I loved your reaction. You seemed as moved by the music as well as the dancing. This blew the world away when this brief show was first seen. Its not completely tradions, Irish dancers usually keep their arms still. They adapted this to be a complete stage show which was a celebration of global dance and culture. I was lucky enough to see it a couple of years ago and it was spectacular
thank you for your words and smiles :) I still remember this....... takes me back
TOTAL MAGIC - Nothing less !!!
its the only Eurovision internal act to receive a standing ovation, I think these days the audience is not seated but still, also that the president of Ireland, in red at 9:14
This was so amazing
I was four when it first time appeared.
It has been part of my childhood and it's what had made me like Irish dance and celtic music.
Many Black people relate strongly to the tap dancing aspect of Riverdance, it's in their dna
riverdancing was outlawed in Canada because too many people were drowning.
😂
That's a paddy Irish man joke for ya😂
So glad I found your podcast.Yes, that was the beginning.I know I'm a couple of months behind on your podcast, but please watch how vantasic River Dance has grown if you haven't already.Also please watch "2Cheloes".
I went to both the Riverdance and Lord of the Dance stage shows that grew out of this and I have never seen a performance so beautiful.
I loved watching your face as you were watching!
Anuna. Harmonies from a heavenly dream😀
Irish perfection
I saw this when it first broadcast. I just happened to come into the room when it was on and I was completely transfixed. No one expected it and the audience just went mad at the end which I never forgot.
I've watched the video so many times because it always cheers me up!
Lovely reaction, I have found a few really good reactions to Riverdance, I'm so glad you liked it, I remember watching it at home and it eclipsed the actual Eurovision, which was crazy.
It's so good!
29 yrs later and its still so captivating . Your lovely smiling face while watching the show was beautiful too..
As an Irish person and this may be abit biased but we're deffo the best country In The world 😅
Dia duit
Agus buiochas mor leat as Eiireann🇮🇪☘️
Hello and big thanks from Ireland 🇯🇲
If i tried any of those moves i would be in intensive care now. Must play hell with there legs.
I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.
They created a full show with many songs and damces that has been touring the world constantly for the last 25 years from this one petformance. Its awesome.
I remember when i watched this the first time i was mesmerised.
To this day I have no ability to understand how they do that. I saw this in the 1990s, but still...
I dint like the idea of proud but this makes me very proud to be Irish.
Fabulous
Ms Butler is a goddess
The lady at the end in the audience was former Irish president Mary Robinson.
First time I heard Irish music when I was a kid I was hooked. 64 now, still hooked.
Just found your channel. I loved to see the expressions on your face! This is indeed a masterpiece and as some other people have suggested please watch the 1995 Riverdance show, the opening is magnificent! Whole body chills! Thank you and you got yourself a new sub!
Thank you so much!, I will be checking it out
Your reaction was amazing..something like my own the first time I watched it.. Greetings from Ireland ☘️☘️☘️.
It's a meeting courtship engagement wedding and celebration. Ireland is an independent nation in North eastern Europe
Thank you so much for your appreciation ❤❤
All the girls and boys in the coris were amateur dancers from different dancing schools. It still gives me goose bumps each time I see it and I'm from Ireland 🇮🇪
As far as I can remember the lead male dancer that was 7 times world Irish Dance Champion, but I could be wrong.
Ok
We learn Irish language and Irish dancing from our first days at school.
Perfection...
I am a self taught irish dancer! Learning from watching the show!
The Riverdance Show is still going all this time later and a huge hit world wide. Enjoy the Show.
Still great to watch
Brilliant such control skill elegance and tanacity love irish dancing and music its in my blood. GrandD was from Galway best ever video i watched it live still astounding talent ❤
.y five yr old son is anew recruit to irishdancing .his teacher even danced in the show .im so very helappyhe loves it.
Still makes me a blubbering irish mess 😂
Have a Guiness. It'll help. ❤
@@diannelavoie5385 maybe I'll have a Murphy's instead .,😊
Nice to see you
Saw IslandGirlz Have Flow react to this with such joy, had to watch you too.
This production brought Irish Dance to the forefront.
I'm glad you enjoyed this early version of Riverdance.
'Lord of the Dance' was a follow-up to 'Riverdance', which also featured Michael Flatley. I thought you might like to see the finale of that production. There are several encores of the final few minutes in response to audience reaction: ua-cam.com/video/t3paj8aTHjI/v-deo.html
The Hungarian dance troupe Ondras used the soundtrack of the 'Lord of the Dance' to great comic effect: ua-cam.com/video/i3XLzYU7H8o/v-deo.html
Az Ondras nem magyar tánccsoport , hanem cseh , bár a viselet hasonlít a székely népviselethez.A videó különben nagyon jó,jót nevettem rajta ,mostmár tudom hogy jött létre az ír tánc 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ibolyaszegedi1616 Just found your comment. Thank you for the additional information.
Lovely video 👍🇮🇪🇮🇪
whe saw it first time while it happend so whe never had seen that before in our live everyone loved it then..happy you enjoyed it to
It's so good! , I did
You have to watch the full 1995 show. There is so much more amazing dancing. Not just Irish, but Russian and Latin dancing too.
Ok I will check them out
I love the part when the flamenco dancer lady appeared ("Riverdance'' in 1995)
Seeing her (Maria Pages) and Michael Flatley dancing together was amazing.
I suggest Amazing Grace by Pentatonix! You are going to die when you hear them! ♥️
American Country Line Dancing mainly originated from Ireland and the British Isles.
@@donalkinsella4380 Not sure about "disgusting", but I get your point. 😊.
I had to give up tap dancing when I slipped and fell in the sink.
Why turn something into a hate fest, yes you're free from Britain, well done, you now have another ruler well done, enjoy!
Not sure if anyone explain the reason for them dancing mostly from the waist down. When England was all up in Ireland's face and trying to take things over, they did the same thing they always do and outlawed the Irish national identity. No Harps, pipes, dancing, Irish tartans, Etc. So the people would Gather in pubs the British soldiers looking in the windows wouldn't see that they were dancing because they were only moving from the waist down.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. ❤
His brother Stavros Flatley is just as good. You should check him out.
Ok
Now you know why Irish people stamp there feet lol
What can i saw one of the smallest islands in the world we just do thing better ask conor
If you liked this you need to watch "The Birch Tree" dance. It is Russian Folk dance.
Jean Martin looks like Nicole Kidman used to.
