Bearing in mind that this was filmed at an out-door venue, and that it starts late evening and goes on into the night, the lighting and camera work are simply first class. The content is perhaps a predictable mix of dancing interspersed with singers and musicians, but it is done with genuine flair and expertise.

Michael Flatley is an incredible dancer, and can be forgiven for being such a solid extrovert. The sound track is also excellent, and covers the full range with plenty of firm bass. This DVD is one of my favourites: even if you are not a lover of Riverdance, I think you will admire the sheer energy, colour and vibrancy of this production.

One thing is certain: when Michael Flatley says "If I never do another show, I'll die a happy man" he is probably right. It will be very hard to beat it...
