I'm missing a bit, the part where they do a big mexican wave of stamps in a line at the end?

I Remember watching this at home too. Ian Dempsey kept saying "Whatever you do, dont miss the interval". How right he was. 14 years and still this has to be the most beautiful piece of music and dance ever. Hard to keep a dry eye.

actually theres less of the wigs these days, i went and saw it in the Gaiety, Dublin only 2 weeks ago and they all had straight hair!i have to agree that the costumes have become a bit too modern and the original outfits were better.i thought it was AMAZING tho the Gaiety stage is very small so its best to see it on a bigger stage [like the Point Theatre] for full impact.

well technically in the beginning, michael flatley was frowned upon in the beginning because of his style of dancing (what with the use of his arms and such) it was pretty much a tacky beauty pagent from the start.(even moreso nowadays) but this was something completely new as far as irish dancing was concerned.

What a pity Irish dancing has gone from this to a tacky beauty pagaent, with orange fake tan and huge, ridiculous wigs....

Wow, I am so happy to find this!! I was searching all over and it seems that very few versions of this are out there. Thanks for posting it. When I was a kid I couldn't get ENOUGH of this beautiful song by Anuna. And those dancing feet were (and are) downright mesmerizing!

I remember watching this eurovision and when they announced it would be dancing I thought it would be a pile of boring shite and boy was sooo wrong. I was speechless after it. It was a good night to be Irish :P

Doesn't Jean look like a high schooler in this? She just looks a bit younger than in the next performance. :]

Every finger is touching and searching,Until your secrets come out,In the dance, as it endlessly circles,I linger close to your mouth.I am living to nourish you, cherish you,I am pulsing the blood in your veins,Feel the magic and power of surrender,To life. Uisce Beatha
