Since I "discovered" Gaelic Storm a bit over three years ago, I have made it a "must" to be in the crowd anytime this exciting and talented crew is anywhere in my area (West-Central Ohio). So I have been privileged to hear GS live 15 - 20 times.

Let me promise that the performance captured in Chicago on this DVD is the REAL THING. It captures the spirit, and the lively, and lovely, enthusiasm and driving Irish music that Gaelic Storm presents every time out! Watching that DVD in my living room (I wasn't in Chicago when it was recorded) frequently has me on my feet clapping (and yeah, sometimes even jumping up and down)with their amazing music. Gaelic Storm is the ONLY band that has the power to make me jump up and down since I was 17 - - - and I am now 72. The magic of their music ALWAYS draws me to the front of the stage with the teens (and some others)who comprise a most enthusiastic, yet gentle, mosh pit. I just cannot keep from jumping with the kids on such GS bell-ringers as "Courting in the Kitchen" or "The Hills of Connamara", or "Tell Me Ma", or "Beggarman" and so many others.
Yep, this DVD presents a true picture of the electric atmosphere that is generated by a Gaelic Storm concert. I wouldn't part with my copy for $100.

First time I went to see this band (I've seen them 5 times now), I was prepared for some folks-y Irish fun.....songs about unicorns, etc. WRONG! One of the best live shows ever and I've been going to concerts since the mid 60's at the Fillmore. The Storm engages the crowd from the first tune. It's surprising to me that acoustic instruments and hand-played drums can generate such excitement. There's wild hilarity and bawdy fun, coupled with some absolutely transcendent jamming courtesy of Pete on the pipes and the amazing Ellery Kline on the fiddle. Go to see them in a small to mid-size venue. This DVD really does a good job of capturing the vibe. The only niggle would be I'd like to hear the fiddle come up in the audio mix a wee bit. Grab a six of Guiness and some Jameson's and have a party with this DVD.

I have been listening to Gaelic Storm now for a couple of years and like their sound, but I like to judge a band on a live performance as well. This band really gave value for money with over 2 hours of entertainment, plus the added interviews on DVD.
The audience was really enjoying the evening as the band knew how to keep up the momentum, especially in the final half-hour.
There are 19 excellent entertaining tracks here, including 3 new numbers which will delight any fan. If you think you like Irish music but not too sure, you will be swayed over by Gaelic Storm with there addictive sounds and cheeky Irish personality.

This show was a lot of fun. I had a great time, singing along most of the songs with them. Best of all, GS seemed to have a lot of fun playing to the crowd. I've been to many Gaelic Storm concerts and always find them full of spirit and fun. I can't wait to buy this.

Having seen Gaelic Storm twice in concert, watching this recording done at the House of Blues in Chicago is the next best thing to seeing one of their concerts in person.

If you love Gaelice Storm or even just like them, this is a must
have for your collection. Music is wonderful, humor is great.
Just all over good entertainment.

If your a fan of Irish music, this band and DVD is a must have. Over 2 hours of great music with the video and band looking and sounding excellent. So put in the DVD kick back with a Guinness and let the party begin.

This is one of the funnest videos that you could buy!! A true indoor party(especially if you want to have the fun of a pub on St. Patricks Day without the crowds).This would be fun at a BYOB house party on this holiday!!!I watched on a sattelite station & HAD to have it!!!

I ordered Gaelic Storm and received it in a few days, and I was pleasantly surprised my order came as soon as it did. When my husband and I sat down to watch it we were so impressed with the quality of the tape. The picture and sound were very clear. We enjoy this group so much and watching this video made us feel like we were actually there at the concert.

Gaelic Storm has so many good songs! It's hard to imagine I will get to see them in about a month at the very place this DVD was filmed! This is an awesome concert by a very original sounding band! Buy it if you can!
