Everyone has their best perch preference for taking in a live venue show at any Maine presentation right? Before television, going out to attend live performances were a frequent habit for Mainers around the state.

I remember my parents talking about dances.

To hear them talk, live bands and dances were happening nightly around whatever area of Maine you called home address. Both around Northern Maine and crossing into Canada to shake a leg and cut the rug listening to “Little Brown Jug” and other classic dance tunes of the time.

What’s that I thought I heard for a whisper? “Riverdance” said like a question with raised eyebrows and wonderment. Never heard of Riverdance? Well now, let’s cue a Riverdance video Jimmy.

Roll ’em for the home viewing audience to give them a taste of Riverdance synchronized sight and sound.

With a pre-recorded production, a lot of extra treatment happens in the post adjustments before the upload for the home audience. But in a live performance, nothing can be sped up or slowed down. Or air brush adjusted and made just so before release.

The Riverdance performance in Portland ME hit me first and foremost this way.

How can they move that fast, to seemingly float and dart around the Merrill Auditorium Stage like that? A buzz like dragon flies mixed in the change up of lighting and sound. Creating local music of many genres, not just the Irish lilt flavor. New York City street dance steps and music part of the many years of Riverdance expression. The lighting all helped to create a lasting experience taking in the 25th year of Portland ME Riverdance live performance.

Dancing in time, creating a visual and audio buzz to tap into and take in.
