An Awesome Series of Productions by an Inspirational Artist., Dec 23 2004
By Ideal F. Baldoni - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Michael Flatley Coll 10th (DVD)
I ordered "Lord of the Dance" first, then "Feet of Flames" and finally "Gold." They are phenomenal. If you have enjoyed any of Flatley's work, I recommend buying the Collection. Be sure to watch them in this order so you can appreciate the production innovations. I notice that some reviewers had audio and other problems. If there were any, I did not notice them for I thoroughly enjoyed the spectacular performances. I have played each DVD several times over and have even ordered some for gifts. "Gold" features an interview with the artist that is awesome and inspiring.

Michael Flatley's Life Story And His Accomplishments, Dec 4 2005
By Shelby Schull - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Michael Flatley Coll 10th (DVD)
Michael Flatley sits back comfortably and tells about his life's experiences. It's very informative! He seems very honest and straightforward. He shows clips of how he started out his dancing career with the Chieftains. He tells how Moya Doherty, producer of Riverdance, approached him about doing Irish Tap Dancing during a 7-minute intermission at the 1994 Eurovision. (Michael already had an image in his head about a line of dancers across the stage all doing Irish tap) Well, it came true; the dance was a success and the rest they say is history. That is when his career, officially as a dancer, really started. He became very successful; more so when he left "Riverdance".You see different parts of "Lord of the Dance" and "Feet of Flames" as he's talking about his achievements. He played a flute solo for his mom in "Feet of Flames", explaining that "A man cannot be macho all the time".
He explains about why he chose those exact costumes for the show. He loves a lot of color, as we all know, explaining that eye appeal is what brings a show together. (Some people criticize him about his vegas-style look to his shows)
There are new numbers at the end of the tape that were filmed in Budapest, I believe. The dances were styled to appeal to the countries taste. (More royal looking--Cleopatra-like eyes on the lead girls; the little spirit was dressed in a jester-like outfit) Different!! I also think the dancers were exceptional; different techniques for different countries makes for no boredom. It showed, they did a great job.
If you are a Michael Flatley fan, it's a DVD that you won't be sorry buying.

Footloose and Flatley Free, Jan 28 2006
By Skylark Poems "the round & wagging dance" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Michael Flatley Coll 10th (DVD)
Much has been written about this creative talent. I purchased this dvd for my grandson who has been watching riverdance, then Lord of the Dance, and finally Feet of Flames since (and I exagerate not a bit) he was 10 months old. He is now three and has worn out the Feet of Flames dvd. He has imitated all the dance steps and arm motions from the latter movie since he was old enough to walk, and now, at 3 years of age, is getting ready for serious dance lessons.One reviewer commented that he detests Michael Flatley, personally. Never having met the man personally, I haven't had the chance to do so. I only know that as an inspiration to my little treasure he is the tops.
With all the -- at best worthless and at worst destructive -- media for our children and grandchildren to become entangled in, there is at least one glimmering star to captivate their attention.
Need I say that I have enjoyed Feet of Flames with him for more than two years now, and since the original is out of print, this edition will do quite nicely and at a fraction of the cost.
Listmania!
