"Hello. My Name is Kris. I am addicted to Celtic Woman."
(sorry, couldn't resist!)
WOW! Gosh, reading your review brings me right back to my first show at Red Rocks in July and the show a week ago (almost two weeks now!). Eagerly awaiting the second part. And though I'm not a CW 'veteran' yet (only two shows under my belt, I have a ways to go) I recall exactly what it was like to feel that gut wrench of "ohmygodohmygodohmygod" right when David does his spiel, and Mairead steps into place.

I am not only addicted to Celtic Woman, I am PROUDLY addicted to Celtic Woman and not ashamed to admit it!!!!!!!!!   ;D ;D ;D

WARNING: This is a long one!

1 / 2  of Part Two: The Concert

Again, before you read this: If this review becomes interrupted by a small paragraph dwelling on a single moment of the concert (and it will, because those are the only moments I can really remember with vivid imagery) you can simply skip to read the specifics :D But, you won’t be reading much if you do that ;) And also: I love writing, and explaining little moments through words with heavy description. If I get a little carried away with the adjectives (but, I won’t tell you which ones :P ) please excuse me, as this is, in fact, my first concert review. ::)
 
On with the concert!

Program and Fiddler Crossing Sign planted firmly in hand, the lights dimmed and an achingly familiar silhouette appeared within the shadows of the spotlight…
…My breath caught in my throat, and my head snapped towards Angelica. I had this look on my face: It’s her…oh my gosh, it’s HER! Angelica looked back at me with the most innocent expression, albeit with as much as excitement as I had, as if to reply: I know! I can’t believe it, either! She grabbed my hand (I’m tearing up as I type this) and we simultaneously turned back to the stage to watch in awe as Máiréad, absolutely breathtaking in that spotlight, slowly walked down the stage. (talk about sister-bonding time!)
   Chloë’s almost-whispered voice greeted the audience with a lovely intro, one that I have heard about, but never actually heard. All I can remember is, “…I am the deer’s cry…” or something along the lines of that. I feel real ashamed for not remembering everything…
     In the next moment, my vision was completely trained on Máiréad and her beautiful fiddle. She slowly moved all her weight onto one leg and then the other and her torso moved with her violin; but you couldn’t see any details, not yet, as there was only a ‘back-light spotlight’ as Angelica calls it, enveloping the stage and Máiréad in a purple-ish glow.
    Everything was still dark, and a mystique feeling came over me. Each girl finally came up on the stage ( I don’t remember the order nor how each of them entered - all I know is that they were there ) Lisa, Alex, Chloë , and Lynn all took their separate cues of “ya da da da ya dadada da…” and Máiréad moved to the back of the stage, bow raised towards the sky.
   That’s when the tears came. I was brought back to this little moment, when I was watching The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun the other night on my portable DVD player before bed, and I was thinking to myself, “When I go to that concert, when they sing this song, I am not going to cry.”
   I did just that. It wasn’t sobbing or anything along the lines of being audible, but I had to blink tears away before someone saw anything and thought “Dork.” My vision was blurred for a half-a-second and I freaked. There’s this old trick: It’s impossible to cry if you look up at the ceiling. But, I was stubborn and refused to take my eyes off the girls. So, I just caved and let the tears roll down my cheeks. The only thought revolving in my head was back in that moment when I was in my bed watching the DVD version of SDS.       My chin was quivering horribly as the song continued and I remember my legs - my entire body - shaking with pure emotion. I hung onto every word, leaning forward in my seat and all, and tried to absorb as much as I could. Talk about an overwhelming experience!
   You know that frequently used saying you see in practically every review here? “It brought me to tears” and/or “I was shaking with excitement” To all of you who have underestimated the pure truth in those statements…Don’t. Those who have been to these concerts and reviewed, mean it with everything they have. Granted, it’s the cheesiest saying in the history of the world, and for me, was used with probably the cheesiest meaning ever: “Oh, the Celtic Woman concert brought me to tears. I was shaking with excitement.” It’s true. Never. Ever. In all the world did I think I would ever be saying such a thing, but here I am. :)
    I’m not sure how much I can stress what that single opening song, The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun, did to me emotionally. It was all just extremely powerful and will remain my favorite group song for a very, very, very long time.
   Back to reality! :D
As I said earlier: most of what you are about to read will mainly consist of little moments that made my smile a bit bigger, made me clench my sister’s hand harder, and just flat out made my night the best single experience of my life! (hint: most, but not all of this will mainly consist of “Máiréad-moments” :P )
  Okay, you guys remember those little binoculars I was talking about earlier in Part One? Those little things played a fatally big part for me that night when it came to the really slow air emotional songs! Angelica and I were practically fighting over it during Shenandoah, When You Believe, Fields of Gold, The Voice, True Colors, You’ll Be In My Heart, Goodnight My Angel, Last Rose Fantasia…you get the idea! ;)
     Seeing them live is one thing (a really big thing at that ;) ) Seeing them up-close, albeit through binoculars, is a totally different thing. I could make out every single little detail of each girl, right down to the eye-color, and I couldn’t do it without the help from my aunt and her underestimated binoculars! ::)
    Angelica and I, after both being frustrated with having to tap each other on the arm to get each of our turns, finally came to this silent mutual agreement that we would give twenty-seconds each to look at the girls up-close with the binoculars. Those were the most precious twenty-seconds of my life! We stopped using the binoculars during the more upbeat songs, like Granuaile’s Dance ( I didn’t even try to use them during that song! :o I wonder how the spotlight guy keeps up with her! ), The Contradiction and At the Ceili.
Now, to review each girl…
   The Voice… WOW! When the song began, I seriously was not sure if they were doing a playback of the recording from Slane Castle or what, because Lisa’s voice was…THE Voice! Flawless! To my non-so-great-surprise, the song came to a part where I could definitely tell that Lisa’s voice was not dubbed over with the playback, because there was a change in a certain note about midway through the song, and my jaw just dropped at the crescendo! Again, everything was just flawless, and I’m still surprised at how beautiful Lisa sounds live! I’m proud to say that I loved this way better than the recordings! The Voice was definitely my “Lisa highlight” of the night! :D
   If I could say one thing which has changed about Chloë, it’s that she has matured beyond what I could comprehend! The difference between Slane Castle, and her performance at the concert was COMPLETELY contrasting as to what I had expected! In a good, fuzzy, amazing way of course! Her voice is no longer that of a light and airy angel, but one that has again, say it with me now! Matured! It is still angelic in every sense, but different. A good different! And I thoroughly enjoyed every sung word that came out of her mouth!
   Another quick note about a Chloë song, before I forget: “When You Believe” touched me the most, out of all the songs in the concert (excluding SDS). The lyrics, although blurry in my mind at the moment, meant so much to me. It’s hard for me to explain, really! Main thing is: When I first saw Celtic Woman, when I first really got hooked on their music…a concert was the last thing on my list, whatever that list may be. As I joined the forums, and read up on all this talk of how amazing these concerts were, there was this little need to go to at least one. An experience for myself, just to see if it was really what everyone said it was. A small hope sparked inside of me, and it never stopped. A little flame, but it was still there. (Again, with the cheesiness of all this! ::) )
     When Chloë sang When You Believe, the memory of my grandad surprising me with the tickets for that fateful night flashed before my eyes. I began tearing up again.
~ Though hope is frail, but it’s hard to kill ~ Those lyrics,that moment of awesome recognition - Hope is what got me here - that tearful thought “I’m really here, this is really happening…” will be with me forever. This song means so much to me, and I just need to thank Chloë (if I ever have the highest honor to meet her!) for enhancing that moment with her beautiful vocals.  :)   

   For Lynn, I’m not sure if I should review Carolina Rua or Dulaman for her highlight of the night…because I honestly cannot choose! So, I’m going to do both! :P First off: Next to Máiréad, Lynn was the flirty one (for both songs)! ^o^ I hate making comparisons between girls, past and present, so I won’t compare/contrast the difference between Meav’s version and Lynn’s version of Dulaman. Either way, they’re both equally hand-clapping, foot-tapping, shoulder-bumping upbeat songs! And these are the only two girls who can make a song, with the subject of seaweed, sound good! :P Carolina Rua was the same way! It’s a pleasant reminder, especially when sung live by Lynn, that this young woman is definitely accepted as a part of the group! Hands down, no questions asked!
   Alex! Wow, Alex is my new favorite! Not that any of the girls are above the other, since they all have their different qualities that make them special. So, there’s really no point in trying to choose a favorite (although, we each have our favorites, as there‘s usually one that will stick out the most when they can touch your heart in a special way ;) ) If that makes any sense to you! ;)
    Anyways, back to Alex! I’ve never heard True Colors before. Ever. If there was one song that I was going to savor for the concert (I’ve heard about it all over the forums, and God, was I tempted to listen to it!) it was this song. Again, this was similar to Chloë’s effect on me in “When You Believe” but for a different reason. I won’t go into anything personal, (it was a highly personal issue I thought about when listening to this song) but Alex really hit the nail hard with True Colors. :D And I remember thinking to myself “Yeah, this is why I love these girls!”

…. 

:D …

…I’ve saved the best for last: Máiréad!!! It’d be impossible to count how many times Angelica and I turned to each other (whenever we could take our eyes off THE fiddle pixie) and then just quickly turn back! :D Gosh, I have no idea where to start with this one!
      Coast of Galicia: It was everything…AND MORE! The one part of that song that I remember the most, was when there was this hair of a pause. Máiréad let out the cutest little “Yip!” I have ever heard! There was an audible laughter among the audience. I was beaming with giggles myself (was even tempted to “woo!” back at her! ;) ) It was just the happiest, fluffiest, cutest part of the show! And I will never forget it! ;D Granuaile‘s Dance, itself, was an amazing song! I got the same feeling I had with Dulaman; It’s just such an upbeat, toe-tapping, hand-clapping song! That guy in the video from Slane? The one who was dancing in his chair? Yeah, remember him? He’s my hero! ;D
     Speaking of clapping….I clapped for each and every song until my hands felt raw! If anyone who attended the concert suspect that I’m the girl who yelled out that high-pitched, squeaky “Yeah! Mái--réad!” Yup, that was me! ;) I apologize for any ear-damage I may have caused (especially Angelica, since she was the one who was right next to me!) but, hey, it was all in good fun…right? ;D
…Right?
Okay, you know what, just agree with me, because we all know that Máiréad put on an amazing performance! There’s no holding back yelling out her name after Coast of Galicia, Granuaile’s Dance or The Contradiction!!!! (all exceeding favorites of mine!)
   It was and still is impossible for me to choose my favorite Máiréad song: CoG or GD…*sigh* But, if the Songs from the Heart DVD include Máiréad’s whooping yips in any of her songs ( you can count on me to be praying for that! ) I think I’ll at least have a new favorite DVD!!! ;) ;)

Okay, I’ve decided to cut the second part of my review in half, since I feel this is getting a bit too long! The next part, however, will be up tomorrow and will include all my thoughts of the group songs and what happened during the intermission! :D

End first half of part two.

Awwww! Relax I would be weeping during the whole thing!  :'(

Oh my gosh, Rain!!!!  You put me to tears!!!!  It really took me back and made me think of little things I had forgotten at my concert, like a piece of Mairead's bow breaking off!  And the amazing smiles I couldn't see anymore, now I can see them!!  This was so wonderful, and I loved imagining your night along with you.   I felt the same way throughout my concert as well!  I simply cannot wait for the last part of your review!!!!!!!   :D :D

Awesome review!  Can't wait to read the rest!!

Of course i get this now!! as i'm leaving!!! i'll be back later!! and i WILL read this!!! i can't wait!!!

Rain.
Your whole emotion during the Sky, the Dawn and the Sun. I remember that clear as a bell from my first show at Red Rocks. I was moved to tears; my grin was so big I thought my face was going to fall off. XD
But yes, When You Believe is fantastic, isn't it? And Alex is amazing. Can't wait to hear more of it!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! i want to read more!!!!!!!!!!! i don't want to wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha jk jk i am so excited to hear the rest!!!!

Thanks for sharing your memories of your first CW Concert. You make us feel like we are there with you. You have a wonderful talent in writing. Can't want for more from you!
Joan

Wow.  That's all I can think of to say.  Rain, this review is so fantastic!!!!!!  You literally have me sitting there right next to you wanting to grab those binoculars!!!!!  I seriously CANNOT wait for the rest!!!!!!! 

*hands you binoculars* *sniffle* Enjoy! LOL! Halfway done with part two of two!  :)

This is really good. I was there at the show and could hear Mairead name being yelled from behind me. That had to be you. I hate to put him on the spot but Juan cried. lol and I almost did when Lisa sang The blessing. Just wow.
Can not wait to read the rest.

Awesome review! Long Beach was my first concert too, and reading your review is like living it all over again! Thanks and can't wait to read the rest!

i really loved ur review!! if you have the pics we took with the other forum people woule you post them please?
It was nice meeting you

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG reading this review brought me back and i got to experience 16th row with you. Helpful that we all have different parts we remember and were affected by it in VERY different ways. Note i didn't tear up but i'm not made of stone, they moved me but in a very different way. And i remeber loving binoculars from far away they really do make all the difference. I remeber hearing that "Mairead" nice vocals to reach all the way to third row. And during G D i thought of the guy too! and how much i probably looked like him! Thanks so much for this wonderful review

Rain! This is a wonderful review!!!  ;D Feels like we're sitting right there with ya!
Binoculars are always a must! lol
Btw, yes, EVERYONE has a "WOW!" moment at their first concert.  I've been to two and both were very "WOW!" and I teared up during SDS too.  :)

Yes! lol! I have one picture of us, but it's a little blurry ( HUGE understatement  :-\ ) I'll post it anyways, though, at the end of the review! ^o^


Oh, that's really awesome that you can probably remember a lot more than I can! lol! I'm still in a daze, and cloud 9 isn't good enough anymore! :P


LOL! I'm sooooooo glad my aunt thought of binoculars! I'm sure if anyone else had taken me to the concert, it would not have been very special! Thank God for binoculars! lol! :D

Next part of review should be up soon! It would have been up waaaaaaaaay sooner, but I neglected it a lot over Thanksgiving!  :-\

2 / 2 of Part Two: The Intermission/Concert

       The intermission was probably the most stressful, nerve-wracking part of that Sunday night! Once the lights were back on, and David’s announcement of a twenty-minute break was heard, Angelica, my aunt, and I raced to the bathroom. There was a line practically stretching all the way to the other side of the building! We asked if there were any other restrooms available (no way was I going to wait in that line and miss the show!!)   We were directed upstairs. Okay, this line wasn’t as bad, but I checked my phone practically every two seconds to make sure there was still time for all three of us to get in, get out, and get back to our seats!
   It came really close! After we had all gone to the bathroom, there already was an announcement that the show was starting, and the doors were closing in the theater!! I was freaking out! I practically jumped down the stairs (okay, literally - I‘m sure security was watching!) and dodged to the doors that led you into the actual theatre - Door 6, but our proper door was Door 9. Door 6 was still open, so I walked over quickly  to check if Door 9 was as well. It wasn’t! Angelica turned around and saw the man at Door 6 getting ready to close it! I spun on my heel (again, literally) and ran (my aunt eventually reached the door the same time we did ) I begged the guy to “Wait, wait, wait-wait-wait! Don‘t close it!”
    He was nice enough to let us in before locking the doors and I eventually found my row. The Call was already playing, and I walked in stride with the music to my seat (which was oh-so-conveniently placed in the middle of the row! I feel so sorry for all those people I had to squeeze by! :-\ )
  We made it to our seats just as the girls began singing! Yes! Made it by a hair! *whew*
Well, I’ll skip all the stuff I didn’t remember and start with the group’s version of Danny Boy. In my mind, this is Meav’s song. Period. No one can and ever will top her version; she owns it. (Yes, I’m really that protective ;) ) But…when all four girls sang this, something just really “magical“ happened to the point where you could hear someone breathing….on the other side of the theater.
    …Or not breathing, depending on how this song touched them. I was probably holding my breath the entire time! They’ve done it again! David really out-did himself with arranging the vocals; it was amazing!
       Remember, I said that this was Meav’s song….
   For some reason, I could imagine Meav standing behind Lisa, Alex, Lynn and Chloë and singing with them, leading them in that song. That imagery just completely stuck with me for the rest of the night. Someday, if Meav does ever decide to rejoin the group; I really hope they’ll do something similar to what I “saw.”
  At the Ceili! Now, I’ve never heard any other version of this song other than Orla, Lisa, and Meav’s. I’ve been so used to the ANJ performance (complete with all the moves, facial expressions, which lady got which man, etc. ) so this was a really cool refresher and it just shows the outstanding diversity of Celtic Woman!  
     Máiréad made me laugh out loud (again) during Lynn’s turn: One of them is dark and poor, one fair with lots of money. I don’t know which one to choose; the flower or the honey? ~  Máiréad was currently jamming out on her fiddle with the band at this point in the song, and she just had the most hilarious look on her face. She rolled her eyes at the girls and looked to the bass/guitar guy (who’s name escapes me) as if to say “Oh my God, I can’t believe these girls! Won’t she just choose already?!” I will always remember that look, and know that if or whenever I need a smile, I know exactly what to think about! :D
  As the concert stretched on, I was definitely getting familiar with my aunt’s binoculars! I had promised myself earlier that I’d get at least one image of each girl permanently engrained into my memory bank.
     Thankfully, I have several. :)
  Lisa’s was the most stunning! I got a real good look at her in The Blessing and The Voice. She was standing next to the piano, singing to the crowd. And there are these rays of white light coming from one of the many effect lights perched above the stage. Dark and light rays are fanned out across the piano and Lisa (the fog really added a nice effect to everything!) and it was just the most breathtaking image of Lisa I ever have and probably ever will see. The Voice was something similar to this, albeit with much more color. During the crescendo, white miniature strobe lights danced in and out of the stage and around Lisa. She had her arms wide open as she held that final note of the song and it was just such an amazing thing to watch!
   My image of Lynn was definitely more of a peppy, fun memory! During Carolina Rua, she placed her hand on her hip and did this little slow step dance in a circle with a priceless smile on her face! Very cute! I admit it shamefully, I don’t know much about Lynn or Alex, since I’m still very much a CW newbie, and very much still learning/ catching up on everything that has happened - past and present.
   I was so excited when Alex sang You’ll Be In My Heart (probably the one Alex song I was looking forward to the most!) I can very much still see this huge, beaming smile plastered on her face as she sang! Her eyes!!! Oh my gosh, her eyes are EXTREMELY expressive!! :o :o :o I couldn’t see her up close, stupid me, but when I looked through those binoculars and saw Alex’s eyes, I became speechless!! It was an absolutely wonderful experience!   :D
   Chloë. Was. Absolutely. Glorious. :o I am still in shock! When You Believe is, without a doubt, one of Chloë’s best songs! Maybe that’s just my opinion (probably because how emotional I got during this) but, that one high note at the end!!!! WOW!! :o :o :o As a singer myself (albeit I’ve only been in choir) I can only bow down in awe at her talent! (not that I’m not already :P ) But…the entire audience was just completely silent as she let go of that high note….Wow. :)
   ;D Okay, all you concert-goers!! You know exactly what I mean when I say that Máiréad brings so much life and energy to the stage! I have always been impressed by her liveliness on the DVDs, but actually seeing her in real life is just the most exhilarating thing in world!!! I actually lost count how many times she spun in Coast of Galicia and Granuaile’s Dance….and the Finale ::) Those are really fun and upbeat songs and she was just moving soooooo fast!! :o The Lost Rose Fantasia is my FAVORITE slow air Máiréad solo thus far, though…it’s probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life and I don’t know how…but I just got really emotional when she played that :) There was just a spotlight shining down on her and she was slowly moving back and forth while performing and her hair was glowing (reminded me of a halo!) and her eyes were somewhat sad. The beautiful and elegant Máiréad did it again! I was crying unabashedly :)

Alright...so...yada-yada-yada...insert tearful rant here ( ;) )...and what?! The concert is over?! Not already!! :o I couldn't believe it!! Have two hours REALLY passed? Everything went by way too fast and I was already craving more!!! :D Alright, so skip all the sad feelings with the knowledge that it's all OVER ( :( ) and the lights come back on. People start filing out of the theater, and then I suddenly remembered: Caitlin!!! :D I tapped my aunt on the shoulder, "Hey, I'm supposed to meet someone here from the forum." My aunt gave me this weird, warning look and I quickly put in, "She's supposed to be handing out buttons, auntie. I'll never get a chance like this again!" So my aunt agreed to come with me and Angelica. Waaaaaay before the concert, LL7 told me that I would KNOW who she is...and I did!! lol! ;D I don't know how I did know exactly, because all I remember is seeing a bright yellow shirt at the front of the stage and I immediately pointed out to my aunt, "That's her right there." "How did you know?" I shrugged, "I dunno, I'm pretty sure it's her." We said hi, chatted for a bit, took a picture, and I even got two buttons out of it (thank you sooooo much, Caitlin!!! :D ) It was really cool meeting another forum friend, so that was just the icing on the cake!! ;D

Here's the pic (like I said, VERY blurry!! Blame my aunt who has no experience with cell phone cameras, lol! But it's better than nothing, right? ;D )

Rain  :D

No apologies needed, Rain!!!!!!  This was great, and it was awesome to read something like this since all of the concerts have been over for a while and we won't be reading any reviews for a while!!!  Your review is just amazing!!!!!  I love the parts about each girl and the images that have stuck with you.  That is awesome.  :) Gosh, I can't wait for the SFTH tour!!!!!!! 

YAY!!!  I enjoyed reading that!  It has now been two months since my concert, and it was nice to re-live some of it!!!!!!!!!!  Great review!   :D :D :D

That's what I was thinking! ;D

Amazing part 2, Rain! It was well worth the wait! You even helped me remember some parts that I had forgotten about!

And the person on the end is Rachel (iluvcelticwoman) :)

Thank you! lol! ^.^

and thanks guys, for the nice replies :) I had an awesome time and I really hope that my review did that night justice! :D Thanks for reading, everyone! :) :) :)

Great review! We went to the Pasadena concert the day before and loved it so much! We were so tempted to go to the Long Beach concert too... we were just sitting at home thinking "they are in Long Beach right now... we could be there too. It's only 20 mintues away." HAHA ;D
