Then I realized that it doesn’t matter how old this clip is or whether it’s already been seen. I’ve watched it no less than a dozen times and it mesmerizes me each time, casting a sensory spell that makes me feel like I’m floating as I watch this live masterpiece unfold. It’s truly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.
Don’t let the eight-minute length daunt you, and you will be rewarded. Trust me.
