Celtic Thunder: Mythology

Mythology Takes CT to the next Level
From the first time I saw Celtic Thunder perform on a PBS Special, I've been hooked. As fans, we've heard hints of something new coming, but just whispers about it, and nothing concrete about the direction. When they announced "it" would be in February, I could barely wait. Since it got here last week, I've played the DVD repeatedly. It is obvious that Sharon Browne and David Munro of Celtic Thunder have hit yet another one out of the park with "Mythology." Their talent has been to put the best people that they can find together, and let them do what they do best. Even the Mythology set is new and different - a huge Celtic Cross along with replicas of ancient stones on which appear visions of the past or the future. In an age where everything is run by computers, this whole undertaking represents the best of technology along with a practiced-eye toward what works well on stage.

Two years ago, when they lost two popular members of the group, there was some question...

Amazon version is Great, but the Deluxe version is OUTSTANDING!!!
WARNING: May Contain Spoilers.

Regular is Great but Deluxe version is outstanding, although there are some more familiar songs on the Deluxe such as The House of the Rising Sun, The Thunder Rolls and The Boys of Summer. Seven Drunken Nights is slightly changed on this album for comedic purposes, lines are the same except George doesn't say his BALD head, he just says head. Danny Boy is sung by Emmett alone and it starts a bit differently before going into the regular Danny Boy song.

The set is awesome, it has a big celtic cross in the middle of the stage. One of the best sets since the very first dvd's.

Neil Byrne plays the piano on Rock n Roll Kids which is only on the deluxe version, so if you want to hear and see him play that you will need the deluxe version. GOOF: They goofed in the printed booklet and sleeve, the booklet says Neil/Ryan performed Rock N Roll Kids and the sleeve says Neil/Colm. The booklet is correct on this song. For alot of...

The Best One Yet!
I was lucky enough to receive my copy of Mythology six days before the release as I pre-ordered it from the official site. Yes, there is a deluxe version (which I ordered) which has more tracks and A LOT of bonus footage but for those who either can't afford it or just want the basic version this is perfect.

I have been a fan of Celtic Thunder since the very first show and I have to say that this is the best show to date. The set is very striking and I thought that the stage being a large Celtic cross would be destracting but it adds to the feel of the show and drives the message home that the lads have gone back to their Celtic roots. Add in traditional dancers, powerful musical numbers, and some of the best musicians on the planet and you have a show that can't be described without sitting down and just watching it.

Whether you have been a fan for years or if you've just been introduced to Celtic Thunder you don't want to miss out on 'Mythology'! Trust me, you...
