[AbiT50]

I like this version and the original

[KaeLae]

I seriously dislike this version of this dance.

I much prefer the older version.

[DudeinGold]

Oh this is awesome.

Just plain awesome.

went to see riverdance the other day in liverpool Oscail an Doras is back in :):):) was made up cos i love it xxo

[maple841]

I wouldn't say this is a "different version of Oscail an Doras," just a different segment altogether. It's nice though. Thanks for posting.

[hermionefan3]

No, if you got the "Best of Riverdance" DVD, Jean Butler called this "Oscail an Doras". I know this for sure because I watched it last night.

[maple841]

I think it's more of an alternative to Oscail an Doras.

[NanyRm]

Do you know if I can find the DVD in Italy? Or only in Ireland? I'm looking for it but I can't find it...:(

[nanadeluca]

Do you have more video from Riverdance on Broadway? I can't find any. I watched this performance and I loved it, but can't find it here on Youtube... And I can't find the DVD either... I was really found of Athena Tergis as the fiddler.

This is actually taken from the Geneva DVD from 2001/2002. I'm pretty sure its the exact same production as the Broadway show but with different leads. I have Countess Cathleen and Russian Dervish and I know for a fact that there is Reel around the Sun and Riverdance on here somewhere. I'll try and find some links.

@nanadeluca May I suggest The Best of Riverdance DVD this performance is on it as well as many others.

[kyringe]

I agree with the athor RiRa is good, bit the org. Oscail n Doras is still way better.

When i bought the Live from geneva DVD I was somewhat dissapointed to find this version!

[MoonLitCat]

this also has to be one of my favorite riverdances because of the outfits and all!! there so authentic!!

[MoonLitCat]

i have to say im likeing this more and more every time i see it....

at first i didnt really but now as i watch it i think it is really good

[skattynatty8]

I'm pleased you like it. People tend to forget about this piece which I like just as much as Oscail an Doras if not more!

[MoonLitCat]

same here

[nahpop1]

Oscail an Doras= Open the Door!!

[shaneallen1982]

i love this pice from riverdance

[cirquexvarekai]

Ahhh this is so cool!! =]

First time seeing this... I like the breakdowns and fun stuff like that...It's so hard to pick what's better, this one or Oscail an Doras. Ther costumes are really cool on this one... but so are the other ones... lol

Is Jean there?? I can't pick her out for some reason...

Anyway, this is awesome. Thanks for posting this up!

[reelirishboy5]

Sorry, no Jean in this one. This is from the 2001 show in Geneva, after Jean had left. The girl who's usually in the middle with shoulder length blonde hair is the lead, Joanne Doyle.

[skattynatty8]

wat do you prefer, oscail an doras or this?

[Mysticmilotic]

I really like RiRa but I like Oscail an Doras too. :]

[Eghein]

Bravo!

[SvetaRay]
