I just ordered the Storm cd/DVD and it came in today. I am watching it now and I LOVE IT!!!! It is sooooo awesome.

i have another question is the tree that keith and ryan stand on real or fake?

hi i have a question is the bridge and stream from its entertainment the same one they used in the storm?

I wondered if you guys were aware of some sort of problem at Amazon, regarding the Storm DVD. I cut and pasted the reply I got when I went to order it:

Paula

Exactly what part does Deirdre Shannon play in this performance? I know she is introduced in the opening credits as "The Gentlewoman," but I really don't understand the context of her character. Prior to seeing the show in its entirety (seeing only the teaser video), my guess was that she was some kind of "spirit" character when she appeared in all white and sang "Harry's Game." But in the performance she questions the identity of The Highwayman in the song of same name and turns out to be the one Paul's character is truly in love with in "Tender Is The Night." (Forsaking George's prior offer of his daughter. ) These two pieces taken together cast aspersions on my prior "spirit" idea, and it now seems to me that she is more of a local personality, considering she doesn't appear in any of the other songs featuring either the settlers or the gypsies.

Anyone care to help a brother out? I've watched the DVD three times now and I'm still confused. Thanks!

Dear JoJo, Thank you for all of the lyrics you provided for "STORM" They were greatly appreciated. This is an amazing, powerful show and I only wish it could be performed on stage at some time!!! Until then, we are thankful that it has been released and we can enjoy the CD/DVD.

Thanks again for the lyrics.

i finally got my Storm DVD and I have found it totally entertaining. I was impressed on how well the show's story was told through music alone. There's only one problem. For the the past two nights, I've been waking up throughout the night with the storm songs running through my head. I'm old and i need my sleep!

I finally received my copy of Storm yesterday. While I knew it would be great, I didn't know it would be THIS great! From the energetic tribal dancing of Ryan and his band of gypsies at the beginning (although it looks like one of them is break-dancing at one point, which made me laugh...those who pay close attention to this scene may pick up on what I am referring to) to the fight song-style rendition of "Mo Ghile Mear," the whole performance is epic. Why it took nearly two years for this thing to be released is beyond me. I, personally, would rather have seen this released before another helping of Irish/Scottish material. That may be what put CT on the map, but Storm is the guys trying something entirely different, and succeeding 110%. Why it got all of the flack that it did, I will never know. Seems to me that a lot of people don't take well to change, and would rather that their favorite groups be one-trick ponies as opposed to experimenting and keeping themselves relevant and interesting. But, I digress.

Anyway, my favorite performances are "When You Are 18" (Having heard many of the things Damian sang about from others during my life, it was easy for me to relate to.), "Stand and Deliver" (Keith plays his character VERY well, but that's not surprising.), "Lagan Love" (The combination of Paul, Damian, Neil, and George's voices is amazing.), "Tender Is The Night" (Hauntingly beautiful, and Paul's voice meshes perfectly with that of Deirdre.), and "This Was My Life." (George's singing makes me cry here, in a good way.)

I would absolutely love to see another musical theater-style performance from CT in the future. But with Phil Coulter out of the picture, that doesn't seem likely. Taking nothing away from Dave Munro (he was fantastic on the keyboard when I saw the guys Wednesday night!), I think only Phil could deliver something as grand as Storm is. And even if he did, odds are good a large contingent of fans would hate it because, God forbid, the guys aren't playing banjos and extolling the virtues of Guinness.

I thoroughly enjoyed STORM. It was different from what we as fans were expecting but GREAT!!! Hope it will tour with CT next year maybe as Act II with a strong celtic ACT I with only the Lads. Since it has been recently promoted, we have a better idea of what the "story line" is and hopefully, more comfortable sharing the Lads with others on stage. They stand out no matter what!!! It worked well with Zara at the beginning. Lighten up everyone!!! No one can out shine the guys!!!

There seem to be three sets of CT Fans.

1. Loves only the guys on stage singing.

2. Loves guys as the "main course" with a little dancing or extras singing

3. (ME INCLUDED) Loves the LADS in whatever format they choose. They stand out whenever they sing.

GREAT JOB SHARON, PHIL AND THE LADS.

I've been a big fan of Celtic Thunder since they first appeared on PBS. Have all their CDs and saw them live. Storm is the biggest disappointment ever. These guys are talented singers -- individually and as an ensemble. They should stick to what they do best and that is not prancing around the set and acting out some silly theme-related mini drama. If CT comes back to my area and is doing Storm, I wouln't pay $10 to go. Please, guys, go back to your "heritage."
