April 30, 1994 - Michael Flatley and Jean Butler wow Eurovision 1994 with this performance of traditional Irish folk dancing in Dublin.

I saw the 25th Anniversary production last year. It chronicled 25 years of Riverdance. It was actually good. I liked the music the most.

They've toured the 25 year show for five years now. I guess they can roll out a 30 year show.

30 years ago? Man, time sure flies. All I remember is really fast tap dance stuff. About a minute of watching it was enough for me. But they did it good, pretty impressive.

Crazy that a dude doing Irish folk dance basically became a rockstar.
That redhead chick was a smokeshow.

Take me back, Lord.

Peak America.

God, the 90s were so excellent in every single way.

I took a hit of acid in high school with some buddies.

I went home and was up late. I started watching the Riverdance infomercial on tv.

My Dad caught me, in my underwear, riverdancing pouring with sweat in the living room.

He said, "What the frick are you doing?!" I said, "I'm river dancing daddy!"

He slapped the frick out of me and I went and laid down.

And things have deteriorated since then.

Coincidence?

And Lindsey was eliminated from AGT because they said she had nothing else to offer. She not only can move her feet/legs but play violin while doing it. This one has over 400mil views

The premiere was right around the time I started smoking weed, and watching River Dance for the first time when you're 14 and stoned and there's no internet is mind-blowing!

They had to have had a top 10 or top 20 commercial of the 90s.

Idk what they were even advertising? Tapes? Live shows?

Extremely white. Almost as white as Bob Marley posters on your bedroom wall at the time.
