Michael Flatley - Gold

Michael Flatley - Feet of Flames An expanded and more polished version of Lord of the Dance, Feet of Flames was recorded at an outdoor performance in London's Hyde Park. While much of the material is familiar to Flatley fans, the production is superior in every way. It's better photographed and the editing is le...	Michael Flatley - Lord of the Dance Billed as an updating and retelling of Irish folk legend, Lord of the Dance is less Erin Go Bragh than Hooray for Hollywood. Michael Flatley, late of Riverdance, gives us the old razzle-dazzle, fashioning a Celtic-influenced spectacular that wanders far away from its Riverdance ...	The Celtic Tiger Starring Michael Flatley Celtic Tiger appears to be Michael Flatley's attempt at a concept album--a loose tracing of the Irish through history, from prehistoric times, to pesky run-ins with Vikings and British soldiers, to St. Paddy driving out the snakes, to... the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders? (Who knew ...	The Best of Riverdance The DVD debut of Michael Flatley's performance in Riverdance (or at least part of it) is one of the highlights of The Best of Riverdance, a generous survey of the Irish hard-shoe sensation that has riveted live audiences and PBS viewers for a decade.

Go backstage with Michael Flatley!
I am so glad they came out with the Gold, it gives us a chance to go behind the scenes, learn more about the dancers and performers, Michael Flatley, and how it all started. Everything starting with the Chieftains all the way to Feet of Flames Budapest. I really wish they made a DVD of the Budapest show! I was there and it was just unbelieveable, so different, yet so Michael Flatley. The crowd was going crazy. His parents were sitting in the first row. Yeah, there was some butt shaking and a lot of high tech involved but everything after the original Lord of the Dance is going to be like that. Did you know that Michael Flatley was born in Chicago? Was a construction worker? A boxer? He plays the flute? And then just so happens he became one of the greatest Irish dance performers. How did he do it? Just watch the movie! (And follow your dreams, no matter what! ;)

Michael out-Flatlied himself
I am not going to raise the issue of good taste. This collection is as flashy and trashy as it gets. But the content is so good-natured, humorous and tongue-in-cheek, that you refrain from judging Flatley for his lack of class. One of the final sequences, the "new and improved" Stolen Kiss is so over the top, that you can't help laughing. It got far, far away from Irish-dancing. It's more like flamenco stip-tease. You can really tell that Flatley got really tired towards the end of his career. He doesn't do much dancing. He just stands in the middle of the stage and lets the troupe dance around him.

Pretty Good
I love Feet of Flames and LOTD and Riverdance. But I didn't like FOF budapest. I saw very little dancing and mostly butt shaking. I would just stick with the others.

Michael Flatley Gold
This DVD is worth the price, if only to see the Budapest version of Feet of Flames. If you saw Feet of Flames Victory Tour, you will enjoy the Budapest section. The included comments by Michael are great too. Well worth the price!

"Genius on Tap"
Being a champion Irish dancer and probably one of the best Flatley dance impersonators, this DVD is superb with great footage of Michael Flatley and behind-the-scenes footage. In addition this DVD shows you from the earliest childhood of Flatley to Modern-day Feet of Flames shows. I highly recommend this great DVD!
