General Discussion / Re: My Thoughts on the 20th Anniversary Show
« Last post by smith3184 on Today at 05:09:08 PM »
I agree completely.  I wasn't going to complain about the cost, but I also paid $175/ticket X2.  Didn't seem like a good return on my investment.  I do agree also about the girls.  They were trying.  I went to hear them sing, not watch the three guys dance to two songs.  For that matter, I really like Tara and her fiddle, but did they need to have her do 3 or 4 solos?

I have just one more question.  Does anyone else think at least some of the music was pre-taped? Not the singing, just the music.  There were several places where it seemed like it was and the instruments were just assisting.  I don't know, I was just wondering.

I'm going to shut up now.

I have to agree with you there was way to much stage smoke years past they placed small fans across the front of the stage to blow it around but now they replaced the fans with small speakers, and they were way way to loud and at times sounded like they were being over driven. I also thought the stage was very lack luster they could have had there video screen in the background and used out photos and short video's instead of the star net background. I also thought the song choices were not the best. Also, the number of songs was kind of short the shows used to run 2 1/2 hours our show was just 2 hours long even with the break. The venue I was at the floor seats cost $175.00 per seat to me that's a little high for a short show. I talked to Mairead after the show and I talked to her about some of these things and she told me I was not the first person to bring the issues up. I also had M&G tickets and there were only 5 pairs sold so 10 people and the M&G started 25 mins late so in turn there was no signing of anything at the M&G all you got was a photo. I did go last and got to talk with the girls and you could just see it in Seths face as he was getting mad I was taking so long but I kept talking to the girls and while walking away with Mairead she asked me how I was doing with my health. So in short the M&G was the same as always shorth and to the point but I did love the Girls they did nothing wrong but then again they always look and sound Great.

Went to the show on Monday, the 29th.  Hate me if you will, but as much as I looked forward to it and wanted it to be great, I was pretty disappointed.  It's probably just me, but I thought it was a somewhat cheesy version of past shows.  I realize they can't have every show at a great old castle location with a full orchestra all the time, but it just didn't do anything for me.  The set background was horrible.  The music drowned them out several times.  They only did 5 maybe 6 songs after the intermission.  They had smoke wafting around almost the whole concert.  Everything seemed like it was canned and there was no excitement generated.  The song selections weren't what I'd hoped for, as I like most of the old songs they have done over the years.  They only did a couple of their old staples, but not the ones I had hoped to hear.  How do you do a show without doing "The Voice", "Nil Sen La" and many others?  Maybe I was expecting too much this time, but I walked away feeling empty. 

I really hate to complain about it, but in my view, it just wasn't up to the Celtic Woman standard we've come to expect over the years.

Good for you.  The only autograph I have gotten in several years was in March of this year.  I had a group photo from the Atlanta Christmas show.  Took it to Fort Myers, FL and all 4 girls signed it.  First names only.

Yes, looks like the 3rd line is her last name Carlin.

Is the third line part of her name as well? It was also hard to make out

Yeah, it's a good ice breaker. All choices are great choices. And I find it interesting who people's favorites are.

Here's mine. I like them because their voices are so unique. Not sure what they'd sound like together.
