General Discussion / Re: My Thoughts on the 20th Anniversary Show

Bummer :( that's so disappointing to hear but awesome gift your boss had to forever remember

Well, he did "pay me back"  he comes in my office and asks what my wife and I are doing Saturday night.  I said nothing special as far as I know.  He then hands me 2 tickets for the Barbara Streisand concert!  Ended up being on the floor (it was an arena show) in Row 12.  You could see her without looking at the TV screens!

Someone gave the tickets to him.  List price was over $1k each.  His wife wouldn't go.  This was back in 2016.  His wife was a huge Trump supporter.  Since Streisand was very much anti-Trump she wouldn't go see her.

Have you guys seen the Odyssey concert on PBS? How does the concert compare to the TV special?

Let me shoot straight. The TV special seems a little tame & not as "fun" or energetic as previous CT shows. Is the concert better in person?

The M&G's are generally not worth my money any more.  They are way too rushed.  You could argue some of it was COVID.    You just don't get the connection you got years ago.  Last year I went to Lisa Kelly's Masterclass in December.  She knew me when I walked in.

My PBS released the unsold tickets to the general public. I can see I paid about $65 over face value essentially for the M&G. That's right on the edge of is it worth it or not. You just have to consider it a donation to PBS, as many have said before this thread.

At sports conventions, you can easily spend $100-$300 for an autograph ticket. Rushed, no photos, and sometimes the player won't even acknowledge you (although that's never happened to me). 30 seconds to sign your item and say one thing.

I've been to 2 shows this year.  One show had front row; the other was row 4.  I generally agree with the comments made above.  I almost don't want to be so close to see if it's a different experience; partially from the music standpoint.  A number of years ago, I gave someone (my boss at the time) my 2nd row tickets.  He was blown away by sitting that close.  Said it's a totally different show, and I tend to agree with him.

Ticketmaster lists a dateless show in Albany NY at the Palace Theatre under the title Echoes of Ireland.
Is that going to be the next album/tour/possibly DVD?? Is that a title that's been seen before??
Anyone know anything/have any thoughts???

@GlenS
Sorry to hear about the M&G. Starting late doesn't help when they're already under a time crunch. I just got my PBS package, and they said they will try to have time for autographs but limited by time, venue, mgmt, etc.

No need to feel bad about voicing your honest opinion. All opinions welcome. Did you see the 20th anniversary show on PBS? That kind of set my expectations. So I'm guessing it will be a tour version 'copy' of that. I'm going later this month.

Well I can tell you what I know Yes they have some canned music the Piano player controls all that with the extra keyboard on top of his piano and the Girls hear a click track in their ears or tempo track so songs that have sounds of Brass instruments and alike that is canned music along with the taps of the men dancing the floor is not a sound floor so there tap sounds are canned if it were not canned you would hear nothing as they dance on a rubber mats on the stage floor so the girls and guys while dancing don't slip and fall on the stage floors. No you don't have to shut up now by all means ask any question you have by us answering your questions other people may learn some more about Celtic Woman from the answers we give I have been a fan for about 18 years and have met all the girls but 2

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.
