About a half-hour longer than the 1995 original, Live from New York City expands upon the second act's theme of the Irish leaving their homeland for other parts of the world. In the most engaging new number, "Trading Taps," a trio of Irish dancers faces off against two urban American tappers. While much of this show will be familiar, it's different enough to be enjoyed on its own terms. It's also more stylishly shot, but that's also its biggest drawback--frenetic editing that allows only brief glimpses of the dancers and leaves the viewer dizzy. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews of Riverdance - Live From New York City
Technical perfection can be fun! There will never be a winner in the Flantley vs Dunne debate, which is perhaps appropriate, as the true star of the show is the music and dance, ably assisted by Colin Dunne, Jean Butler, Katie McMahon, et al. The sheer power of this production is overwhelming. Even those who are not afficianados of the dance will be enthralled by the pounding rhythms and dizzying movements of the dancers. The joy of Riverdance is apparent in the interplay between the performers, masterfully captured in this video. When the dancers are enjoying themselves, the audience feeds on the enthusiasm, and a performance becomes a memorable event. Riverdance - Live from New York City is just such an occasion. If I ever find a time machine, I'm going back to catch the premier! What a show!
A Reviewer from Canada
I have a previous version of this DVD. However it is two side and not convenient. I wait for a new version like this one for a long time. Unfortunately, this "Superbit" DVD picture quality is not good. I fully agree the review of another reviewer on Dec/17/2003. The only benefit I got from this DVD is "One Side".
Technically this DVD is a Disaster
Terrific performance. Choppy editing. I was looking forward to getting this wide screen Superbit DVD. What a disappointment! First of all, it's not wide screen--it's actually SHORT screen. On a wide screen TV it takes less space than a "full screen" 4:3 DVD or VHS tape. That is, large black bands on the sides and narrower black bands on the top and bottom. One can try the "zoom" function on the TV, but with two unfortunate consequences: You lose the top and bottom of the pucture and you make the already very poor definition picture even worse. Superbit indeed! In short, though described as "anamorphic" on the box, it surely is NOT. It's extremely fuzzy on my 50" monitor, much more so than almost any of the many dance DVDs that we own. As another reviewer suggested, they could have produced this travesty by simply copying a VHS tape. Superbit? Forget it!
