I live in a remote area, and have never seen the show live. I like watching the video of Riverdance. It's a fun, upbeat show. I like the dancing, the music and the vocals. To me, it's fun and entertaining.

I really, really like watching the video of Riverdance taped in New York. The male principle dancer is not Michael Flatley (I forget his name) and he is good. Jean Butler is the female principle dancer and she is fantastic.

I like the Russian dance troupe better in the first Riverdance video. I am captivated by the "Spanish" dancer, and really enjoy the interaction between her and the featured fiddle player. I like being able to see more of the band in the NY video. Of course, I really enjoy the uillean pipes solo.

I am moved by the NY show in several places: the hoe-down-type large group dance, the drumming, the lovely vocals, and the dance between the two groups of fellows that reminds me of the Jets and the Sharks. : )

So, to me Riverdance is good. I've enjoyed watching it many times.
