- The show was over, but the encore that ensued was extraordinary. Trimmed it down to the final 15 minutes, but please buy the DVD and see the entire show. It's his best work since Riverdance. The only thing missing is beautiful Jean Butler. Do enjoy! - I claim no ownership/rights. Simply for entertainment and pleasure.
After reading some replies, I thought it would be good to note. The video was posted on CZcams in 2017, but the show is from 2005.
Thank you for posting this video!
It's wonderful.
Best wishes!
Nice job, Bob. I wish I could trim down my workouts to 15 minutes. (Oh, STFU). That is some extreme dedication and a passion for the arts. WOW!

Well, for those watching until czcams.com/video/8IeQxuCooSw/video.html it is fairly obvious that this was pre metoo. rofl.
..Michael Flatley was my high school locker partner in Chicago in 1975. A small quiet kid who bothered nobody.....................only to become the ROCKY of his genre! Still work at our same high school where he donated 110K Dollars for a computer center. Still inspiring to this day! Thanks for this video.
Wow lucky you!! He’s my idol forever.
Thats such an amazing piece of background info on him :) thanks for sharing!!
👍🇷🇴
Wow! you were so lucky.🍀
Wasn’t he a boxer too? I heard he fought in the Golden Gloves?
Michael Flatley was a true "Maestro"! The choreography was always awesome with electrifying energy. The musicians were talented as hell. In my opinion, there's no one like Michael in the industry. After his introduction to this art, the mold was broken and there's no duplication. God love him!
My words exactly. I wish I could have seen him live in this one. I did see him in Lord of the Dance and Feet of Flames. He's the Michael Jackson of Irish Entertainment. No one else like him. Never again!
Michael and his dance troupe have created magic and should be proud. Nothing wrong with a bit of ego shining through....he's saying yes we did it and we did it to the Nth degree!!! YES! YES!
A BIT OF A EGO?!?!?! pfff his ego is bigger than this whole universe ya kidding!!!!
@@macaelatice-loma1048 It sure is! Yikes!
This guy, however, gave his all and deserved all his praise.
He is fabulous. Always was and always will be. He knew how to catch the attention and hold it. Super marvelous dancer and choreographer. Bless him for the entertainment he gave the world.
Beautiful.
From Riverdance on...there was so much magic and passion❗
this man took Irish dance to the highest level and exhilarates his audiences wherever the dance troupe go and it's wonderful to see a performer who really appreciates the acclaim of the audience
And from very humble beginnings.
Brilliant

It is time! YOU were the extradroadingly artist, Repardion of performances hurts your legacy.
I reluctantly went to his show to keep my wife happy. By the finale I was literally jumping and screaming for more. I've never enjoyed any show as much as this!
Good for You!!! ☘️☘️☘️ 🇺🇸
Neat share
Michael was a dynamic performer throughout the years, but if you catch him when he was youngest he had an extra little in his energy and fluid motion, it's always a treat to see the very best at whatever they do and when they're young and full of energy, slim and fit as a fiddle. My wife and I caught the show in the U.S. and it 's even a bit more when you see it live. It was unique and the energy resonated through the crowd and back onstage again, a truly great show.
I'd be curious about his injury history. When he retired he did list his foot, shoulders, and several vertebrae as being injured--this would definitely take the spring out of your step.
The really fun thing about watching this: you get to notice how Flatley uses EVERYTHING: throughout his shows you notice - West Side Story 'Sharks' vs. "Jets' dance duels; flamenco moves, Fosse, Michael Jackson, James Cagney tapping, on and on...What is masterful about him is the new way he mixes those elements up, giving us a fresh and, utterly breath taking performance. Every time! The audience never gets tired, like everybody else says..
I've been fortunate enough to see both Riverdance & Lord of the dance 20+ yrs ago with my twin daughters & my late husband. Seeing these was absolutely spellbinding it simply took our breath away , the dancers are just sublime, outstanding devotion and training gone into every step was evident from the beginning 👏 Michael Flatley sets the stage alight with his feet of flames & Jean Butler matches his sheer magnifisense, she is just sensational , her fantastic feet now Dancing on dangerous ground. It's hard to explain when watching such talent how emotive it makes one feel & still gives me chills all these years later it's evident why Flatleys feet were once insured for $57.6 million.
I am immensely proud to be part Irish & only wish I had such magical feet . I would urge anyone who hasn't seen these shows live to go see listen & experience the haunting melodies & orchestra of tap shoes tapping rhythmically around the room in close proximity its just gobsmacking
That was bloody AWESOME. No I'm not talking about Michael,he is brilliant on his own,I'm talking about the dancers. The timing is absolutely superb. Brilliant 👏👏👏👏👏
WOW!! What an energy this man has. And all his dancers, including the violin players. Thank you Michael Flatley, for giving us 1st class entertainment. 😀🕴👌👌👏👏👏💓💖💗💞💎
I CAN WATCH MICHAEL FLATLEY AND HIS DANCERS A LIFETIME AND NEVER GET TIRED! THE MOST AMAZING SHOWS EVER! THANKYOU MICHAEL FOR BRINGING SO MUCH JOY IN MY LIFE AND SO MANY MANY MILLIONS THAT SEE YOU AND YOUR DANCERS❤
Shaun Johnson your the dumb one
Canadian M.R I often wonder at their peak, how many steps do they do per minute. Go Ireland. My heart and soul will always have Irish blood.
Love Michael Flately, Jean Butler,great Irish dancers..Jean the Butlier, is a staunch traditionalist,while Michael p..is a staunch ...Ironic really
@@davidmaher1730 From google: Michael Flatley is also a master flautist and his album On a Different Note mixes the traditional with the contemporary. In 1998, at the age of 39, Michael exceeded his first Guinness World Record of 28 taps per second set in 1989 with a phenomenal 35 taps per second.
@@Macrogue65 why you have so much hatred for no reason? Why do you hate just because I wrote in CAPITAL LETTERS? Your reply to my comment makes me think that you're so miserable and also so dumb!
Mom I found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! Michael Flatley thank you for sharing that gold with the world.
Fanrasztikus tehetség,aki utánozhattlan,egyéni tehetségevel,meghodította a világot ,korának legnagyobb táncmúvésze volt!
Oh my goodness never saw anything like this !!!! Amazingly Awesome. ...!!! He is one of a kind. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I had the privilege to see Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance....it was MAGNIFICENT and so was he, his dancing and ALL the troop with him.
One of many fabulous moments in my life that I will not forget
You are so so lucky xxx
I'm sure performances have been great over the years but I feel too - so lucky - to have seen both live with original cast way back before becoming a household name. Two of the Great Performances I will never forget.
He is just the bomb! I can never get enough. To put on such an amazing production like WOW.
yeah, he blows you away.....
It took Michael Flately to take Irish dancing to Herculean hights!! The work behind this..real work..practice,practice & more practice..is unbelievable..his dynamism enspires dance to a level..so high is quite unbelievable..his Troupe absolutely in exacting step beside him..his influence on Irish Dance..inspirational..Yankie Doodle Dandy..was sublime..Fred Aester..would have been exhausted after one session..Michael & Troupe guve four encours!!.. the greatest Man of Dance..Ever! With such respect for brillance.Warm wishes John Co Tipperary Ireland.
Wow wow wow.
Say what you want about Flatley--he's a dancing genius (as well as an amazing flutist), as are all his dancers. I've seen them in person multiple times, and I'm always astounded.
On top of it all, he has those gorgeous Irish eyes, lol. Handsome devil.
judy weeks Nice guy, too. He signed my bones. Two pairs!
@@Mimeh53 Wow! You are lucky!
Now that's talent at its best !
Never can stop loving this superb talented Irish dancer/producer Michael Flatly.
Pretty freaking fantastic! They make it look so effortless!
Never get tired of watching anything Riverdance like!
The stamina of these entertainers is amazing, simply amazing!
Fantastic! Mr. Flatley is in my prayers for complete recovery and health. He is amazing!
An incredible man, an incredible dancer. Lord of the Dance, A Celtic Tiger with Feet of Flames. Sadly, while he's still with us, likely not for long. He will be missed, he's a man who in his own way changed the world of dance, especially Irish Dance, forever. He will be missed indeed.
Michael Flatley is an entertainer who knows he's the best. He never failed to deliver. His performances were immaculate. He'll be remembered as the man who stole the show from the main event - the Eurovision Song Contest - when he appeared in the interval. A true professional.
I have always loved this man and of course all of the team for producing one of the best Irish dancing ever in this world x🤑
The precision of these dancers is awe inspiring and amazing!!! Love watching them!
Michael you are absolutely , amazingly talented 💚👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 . Gosh you have been this for years , and you are still by far THE VERY BEST !!!! I love watching you FABTASTIC 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕💚💚💚💚👍👍👍
Still one of the very best and greatest live concert shows in any act in the planet.
The Energy, Music, tiger stripes, legs, Flatley and troupe, an amazing experience . That man is a showman who you can see loves the big stage and is not afraid to fill every square inch of it with music and dancers. Sure hope to see more of his shows.
He’s retired now from dancing, he’s got an assortment of aches & pains he deals with evidently. I wish I had gone to see him when I had the chance.
You never see the blood sweat and tears that takes place before these very talented people put on a show as breathtakingly beautiful and polished as this, awesome is simply not an apt description but it is all I can give spectacularly awesome!
I used to go out with one of the girls. You wouldn't believe the mess endless rehearsal makes of the feet
True facts. There are a few videos detailing Michael Flatley's months of rehearsals and they were quite demanding as his standards were very high. However, it was worth it because the end result is amazing.
Toujours extraordinaire ces irlandais danse fabuleuse
Prestation hors norme
Quel talent!!
C est un ravissement pour les yeux
Un régal pour l audio
Bravo à tous !!
My daughter introduced me to Riverdance and Michael Flatley .. soon after it first appeared. Rightly enough all she wanted was to learn how. When I saw the show, all I could think of was the blood, sweat and tears it took to get THAT good. And from a parents perspective, all the shoes and costumes and fees and trips and, and, and .. And that's before ice and rubs and doctors. And then, as a parent you pray that the heartbreak (and there will be) makes them straighten their spine, square their shoulders and get that "don't tell ME I CAN'T" glint in their eyes instead of beating them down.
Gods .. the things we as parents remember. ALL that took but seconds when she said that, and I still remember it today. She and I did some research and she spoke with a couple of professional dancers. In the end although she still wanted to learn more she didn't think that was exactly for her.
I've seen a bit of what Mr. Flatley put himself through for those glorious performances he's given and as satisfied and proud of them as he may be (yes, rightfully so) I really don't think there are many that could do that as meticulously night after night.
@@MaStorm529 He doesn't ask anything of them he wouldn't do himself.
This is not a great show, It's a celebration! Humans are amazing! How can anyone not appreciate this display of amazing teamwork, devotion and love for performing. Truly Amazing.
I watch this over and over again. Never got to see him live...I wish I could have seen him before he retired.
That’s grand to watch. We went to one of those shows in Wembley and it was electrifying!
Dynamic Michael Flatley and damce troupe. Watching December 2019.
Vivien Armstrong I’m just found this March 8 2020 AMAZING!!!! I think they really liked the show,great audience and the best dancers in the World.
Wow so amazing. I saw riverdance but never with him in it...will regret that for the rest of my life..love him and what and how he changed Irish dance .amazing.
Hard to believe people could watch tap dancing for two hours without getting tired of it, but the people in the audience are losing their minds with excitement, so good for them.
Michael and team at its very best loved it
I've never watched this before, but I'm a huge fan now. FRICKIN AMAZING!!
Congratulations at this fourth young womens for this violons medley. The M Flatley's concept are one of the best.
Well done, Michael and team..what great athletes and performers you are!!
WOW! MANY THANKS FOR ALL THIS EXCITEMENT AND TALENT.
James Cagney.. Yankee Doodle Dandy.. thank you he always said it was his step dancing teacher who taught him how to tap. such an honor to Cagney's family.if you've never seen James Cagney Tap, you are missing something wonderful.
And aren't we lucky, those of us that have had the opportunity to enjoy both?
Exellente music and super concert, so that everybody can enjoy. This note are beautiful, and you make happy with this Lord of the Dance group.
What a shoe Oct 2017. Who is watching this in Dec 2018. Great dancing, violins, loved it.
Michael Flatley was a good friend of my uncle Jim O’Toole when he was young and told our family that he was going to be the best that there ever was in irish dance 💃 and he sure was right. I saw him a couple of times and he fabulous.So very proud of him and his entire family and company.Love the Irish ☘️.
omg - there is no one like Michael Flatley.. He has IT ALL... been crushing on him for over 20 years. He's beyond talented & SO GOOD LOOKING - even in his older years.. SIGH - in my dreams!! Brought so much excellent & inspiring entertainment on such a grand scale - so he has a right to be proud!! Keep it up, dear Michael!
Simply amazing, a wonderful big gift in my lifetime and I am forever grateful. Thank you
Words are hard to find for this other than...bloody awesome...mind blowing and fantastic...to name but a few. !
One thing I'll never get tired of is watching professional musicians who are "free-ranging" on stage play "to" each other. It's like they get caught up in their own incredible language and start talking to each other through it. It always makes me feel happy to see that, even if it's something I'll never experience myself.
Hot Damn, this guy still has got it all, talent talent talent. First saw Michael on PBS special way back in the day ^_^. His Riverdance was an awe inspiring event for me, never sawing anything like it before. Now all these years later, its still going stronge, yeah!!!! Thank you for this great video, I loved every minute
Michele Mather Michael Flatley on why he's taking his final bow: www.dailymail.co.uk/home/event/article-2991839/Michael-Flatley-s-taking-final-bow.html / Dated 2015
The man hasn't aged a bit, must be all the dancing he does. lol As gorgeous as ever.
Wow -- bravo
Michael Flatley.
Wow. All the Dancers are amazingly awesome. Would love to see Gillian Norris in there. She's so Beautiful. Great. Job everyone.
Shes my favourite tbh xx
Came to look at this after talking to one of the cast today. A real shame that all those amazing costumes are in storage somewhere. It would be wonderful to tour this again.
What an entrance and devilish good looks and charm! I've watched it a thousand times.
But does anyone feel that the camera work and editing was not so good? Due to that, you miss seeing so much of his (and the teams) footwork, his lovely gestures and expressions. Ohooo and when he looks right at the camera 7:49 wow! Now let's just imagine because of the terrible camera work, we ladies would have missed seeing the 7:49 whatever you call it!!
Cameramen guys, please don't do the awful moving camera from here to there here there here there again and again and again and miss out on the most outstanding moments in history of dancing!!!!
whenever i watch one of Michael's performances, it makes me cry, so much passion and love
We saw him a few times and they were the best ever.
Excellent, saw this at the filming and many other occasions. Watching these shows has taken up much of our lives since the historic record run at Wembley London, Gladly do it all again. Thanks to Michael and all your people.
No words for these guys....Just Love...
He is fantastic always been a fan
WOW!!!!!!!!!! just WOW!!!! Thank you for this, so perfect...
Beyond superb. Master dancers. The late, great dancers of old would have relished to see such brilliance.
Extraordinary done what a hard work behind those steps , thanks for sharing the best I saw and still watching after all that time 🤩🌟🙏👏
I've been in love with Riverdance (went to see them in Melbourne) and the great Michael Flatley from day 1. Have all the DVD's and watch them a fair bit. Being half Irish, here I am on St Pats day thinking of my beautiful Dad and watching anything Irish.

Beth Bartlett I am an I RISH American, Kelly & Sheehan, O'Neill and Mc Quian . I have only been to Irland once, would love to go back before a die.☘️🎚
I was fortunate to see Michael when he created Lord of the Dance, I think it was 1997 and I was blown away by him and the show! He really was an amazing dancer!
The audience adore him, no matter where the performance
Wonderful!! Absolutely Wonderful!! This is my favourite part during the entire concert!!
We saw them in Dublin, amazing!
How they can remember all the choreography I will never understand. And the stamina. Magnificent.
It's like he's conducting an orchestra
Great Finale, Loved It.
Wow! That was beautiful..and the music was good to.
I find him , cheesy and Hamish.
Amazing every time I see it. Love it.
OMG!!!! I have never seen dancing like this, sadly the tickets I purchased for the 4/15/20 Riverdance performance will have to wait until next year for me to use them.
I'm also truly amazed at the violinists dacung and moving while playing! Incredible! Awesome!
What Michael Flatley did to Irish dance is the same as Guy Laliberté did to circus. Made it spectacular.
I can watch it for hours!
thanks for sharing. so fabulous
whaou!!!!!!!completely amazing youu. make me. feel so good .i never want to leave you.Irish for ever now
Brilliant, beyond words 🔥🔥
For me the magic starts 4 minutes into the video. Loved the modern edge, dress, and precision of the dancers
Fantastic!! He is absolutely fabulous, amazing!!!! There is no one like him still today!!!!
Anyone watching December 2020? Can't get enough of these stunning performances. Flatley is a genius showman? Phenomenal 💜💜💜
Lo mejor que he visto. Para los españoles que les guste el baile, que vean un video y fliparan. Buenisimos
The world needs more of this such a happy feeling
The Irish people should be proud! If they only knew how many people they have made smile and touch their hearts.... no doubt about it I'm sure they do know. This truly awesome....
I always do wonder how hard this type of dancing is on their feet/toes/ankles and their knees. I know they start out very young but like everything else as they progress in age sure they wake up stiff/sore in the mornings from all those practices and performances.
He’s a master
Saw lord of the dance twice , excellent performance, would see it again for sure
If memory serves, the four very talented ladies playing the violins (fiddles) were on America's Got Talent one season. They were amazing
Michael Flatley"s человек ЛЕГЕНДА своего неповторимого дела !!!!!
Wow! Superb! Super tare! Fără cuvinte! Este cel mai bun! Adevărat spectacol! Respect colegilor !👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌💕
"Colegilor de trupa", Hmmm.... Faci parte din trupa ? 😍
In sfarsit, cineva cu gusturi. Credeam ca suntem pe cale de disparitie 😳😂
@Dan Sutu Corect! Prima variantă....👌
@Dan Sutu Adevărat, sunt de acord, bine punctat 👏👏👏👏👌
All these dancers are great in my book. It is quite an accomplishment to be dancing with so many other dancers on stage without one person being off. These dancers are all precision. Watching this video in 2019 Dec 9
Truly still enjoy this Talent!
God Bless each one of them special! 🪅🪅🪅
Wow! Watching this again just brighten my day 🌞
Well, I just caught up with the rest of the world, happily -- what a spectacular tour d' force!
Respectfully,
NHG
Michael maestralno, hvala za uživanje, pozdravljamo Vas iz Crne Gore
Thanks Bob, totally Awesome!!
Extraordinary, isn't it? Michael Flatley was 47 y.old at that time! Can't believe it! He's really a terrific dancer!
