Amazing. Electrifying. Moving. I had seen this group on PBS and am glad that I went with my daughter to see them in person. Whether singular or as a group, they were fantastic. The songs ran the gamut from classic Irish to 50's Pop. The voice ranges varied in each of the gentlemen. They had the crowd laughing, clapping, smiling and they even brought tears to my eyes with their rendition of Danny Boy and with Birds Without Wings. I could close my eyes and feel the music. I would recommend them to anyone.

I thought the show was better than what I have seen on the first DVD. The guys were more lively and expressive. This is probably due to their continued development and how well they've been received since that first DVD and their confidence has grown. Each member has shown improvement in showmanship and stage presence and a lot more dramatic theatrical portrayals while performing their songs, particularly George Donaldson and Ryan Kelly, and that adds to the excitement and fun of watching them perform. If you had asked me a couple years ago if I believed this would happen I would not have said that you could not improve upon an already awesome performance, but I was mistaken. The extremely talented supporting crew seems more outgoing also, thereby increasing the entertainment value. I enjoy their performances without the guys and would truely miss it if they were not there. Finally, their rendition of Danny Boy was the best I have ever heard! All in all it was a spectacular performance. Makes me proud to be of celtic heritage.

Favorite moment: When Damien was laughing and joking with the song and he started to laugh during the song, he really knows how to play to the audience. @

I loved Celtic Thunder, they are soooo talented, Robinson Theatre had really good acoustics for them. Their stage set, color, fog, pictures were incredible. I would go back to see them again in a heartbeat !!
