Things you saw on the tour but not on the album or DVD, ‘x’ edition
- Damian doing the ‘floss’ at random points in group numbers
- In “Useta Lover,” the line ‘glory of the lass’ was changed to ‘the glory of her ass’ and the lads all knelt down and looked like they were looking at a lady’s rear
- Also in “Useta Lover,” the boys crossing themselves at the ‘six months in confession’ line
- All the ‘Emmet is a diva’ jokes
- Neil’s shiny ass guitar blinding the hell out of you thanks to the stage lights
- Neil singing “Another One Bites the Dust” when talking about Irish wakes and doing silly voices before finally singing “Finnegan’s Wake”
- Emmet getting out of breath during “Phil the Fluter’s Ball”
- Ryan still acting like he’s gonna grab the back of Damo’s kilt like they used to 10 years ago
- CRYING YOUR EYES OUT WHEN THEY SING GEORGE’S SONGS, LIKE “CALEDONIA”
- All David Monroe’s jokes, mostly about how old most of the audience members are (’Who remembers that song the first time around?’ *audience cheers* ‘I wouldn’t be cheering; that was fifty years ago! You just admitted a lot!’)
- Hearing someone say, ‘I liked the dark-haired one,’ and thinking, ‘Wait, which one though?’
- Lots of old favorites like “Always There,” “Turning Away,” and “Caledonia” just to name a few, since they had to make up for time that would have gone to Michael’s features, which had to be written out since he couldn’t go on tour
- All the funny little dirty/playfully vulgar gestures and facial expressions during suggestive songs like “Right, All Right” and “Useta Lover”
- The group experience overall; experiencing the show in a crowd is so much different and such a unique feeling if you’ve never experienced it before, which I hadn’t
- The lads’ accents somehow get stronger as the show goes on lmao
- KILT SPINS DURING “IRELAND’S CALL” LIKE THEY LOOK EVEN COOLER LIVE THAN IN THE VIDEOS JESUS
- Also, the interesting fact that they kept a lot of the same choreography in songs that used to have kilt spins despite the fact that they wear mostly trousers now…some of it looks really weird in trousers…like, you know that they were supposed to have kilts on originally and it just looks…odd
- The Celtic Thunder Band is so good it’s hard to believe they’re actually doing all of that live
- Having the old man next to you whose wife made him go look so perplexed every time you laugh or clap or get excited in any way
- Nicole and Seana’s dresses (they change after intermission, and they’re just gorgeous)
- All the lads’ jokes, poking fun at each other, etc.
- The fantastic projections on the screen behind them; you see some of it in the YouTube videos and DVDs but you definitely miss the full effect
