I was 16 when my parents took me to Vegas.... I am 60 now... I still remember going to see Siegfried and Roy... and I am so bless my parents took us. We sat right next to the stage... all the power, magic and excitement. It was a truly magical show. I always hoped I would get back to see them again one day. Sadly, that never happened... RIP guys... you earned your rest...
The only thing I can say is that when Roy became disabled Siegfried was right there by his side till the end they were wonderful together and still are together in heaven ❤ 💙
So glad that they got to put on this performance to have a more positive last performance especially alongside their fateful tiger. 🥺💖 Rest in peace. 🙏💕
I'm just glad Roy survived and Manticore lived to be 17 years old! The animals all lived very well, they only were put in cages for short periods of time. The rest of the time they roamed around the 100 acre estate of Siegfried & Roy. In later years however some were loaned out to Zoo's big mistake since one just died in the Zoo's care yesterday. All in All the animals had very good lives IMO
It's very different from stopping your career of your own will and being able to say goodbye to the stage and your audience, you decide for yourself when things stop, and therefore the personal path is already established, there everything stopped extremely suddenly, with this feeling of unfinished business, I completely understand their terrible pain at not having been able to say goodbye as they would have wanted. They were so talented.... May they stay in peace ✨💙
Who's cutting the onions here? People need to chill out! Roy got the tigers because he loved them. He had built a relationship with each other and no manticore wasn't killed. I think he is still alive today because of Roy's love for him no matter what. Why can't people just appreciate what they did because it was astounding. None of the animals were hurt or injured. For all we know they could have enjoyed it because they were always with their father figure, Roy.
Cardmaster Andmagic no he was not killed but did pass away a lil over a year ago. I so wish I could have seen them. There love for the animals was so much. Every parent in this world should treat there kids as well as there where.
Cardmaster Andmagic Manicore pass away couple of years ago after short illness, he was still with roy at the time. The truth behind what happened that night is......Roy collapsed due to illness, the tiger did what big cats do......he picked up his family member and carried away to safety, biting Roy saved his life as doctors said it released to pressure that was pumping into his brain.........Keeping big cats as pets is somewhat cruel to the nature of the animal but due to far greater problem of these wild animals being hunted and killed for there TEETH, HORNS etc etc they would be gone for ever...............There are 3700 tigers left in the wild in THE WORLD now. 5000+ in captivity in USA.......if left only as wild the'd be gone in 10 years
Actually since Montacore was a male he had no family/mother like feelings for Roy. Tigers will carry off their their catch, to eat elsewhere. That is exactly what the tiger was going to do it was going to carry him off and eat him. Pure and simple. The rest of your post is rather accurate however.
I grew up watching them along with david copperfield and they are awesome! that being said, now that I'm a grown man I think its cruel to use those exotic cats for entertainment and money. Nothing could change my opinion on that but I still have great respect for them and think what they did is amazing. Much love everyone!
There are two theories of when Roy suffered a stroke: 1. on stage, and the tiger tried to drag him to safety like he would do with a pup, causing severe injuries to Roy's neck. 2. Roy suffered the stroke afterwards due to his injuries. This broadcast proposes the latter version. Here at the 12:30 min. mark: th-cam.com/video/qcGWn9DCwcU/w-d-xo.html
I cried as I cried never before ,but it was from how proud I was of them for doing that Last magic performance and not just that ,when I saw Mantecore the tiger on that stage again I felt so proud of them for saving that tiger after that sad incident ,knowing that Mantecore wanted to protect and move to safety his best friend,after he had a stroke while performing on the stage that night.. Someone wrote RIP Mantecore? I hope that is not true.. Thanks for uploading this video and I wish all the best to both of them ,to two Legends which will never be born again as they were and are ! Respect !!
Roy didn't have the tiger killed b/c IT WAS HIS FAULT. The feedback from the mic obviously caused the tiger to attack him, but NOT KILL HIM. Cats are very sensitive to high frequencies much like dogs. I heard Montacore was actually ill which is why he wasn't listening to Roy. Roy should have just sent him off the stage. But it was great that they were able to give one last performance. And, no, I don't feel sorry for those tigers, they lived in the wild (100+ acre ranch) most of their lives away from poachers and hunters and Siegried and Roy loved them.
Roy is like dr dotadol :) talk and walk and sing with the animals :) ps there will be a time when folks can be with all kinds of animals but that's when first Jesus comes out of the clouds and second time he touched down onto planet earth
Magic is all around you if you only know where to look. No one truly knows what happened on that stage all those years ago expect that a magic of a different kind was born. Remember, there IS a difference between magic and Magick that miracles can and do happen. I would like to think that their lives and not their shows was and is the greatest thing they've ever done.
For all you assholes that keep denying the truth....Here it is....The tiger Montecore was a trained first responder, he was rendering aid to his dearest friend until a higher level of care arrived aka ambulance, which as everyone knows early intervention with a stroke shows best survival rates. Montecore knew the accronym FAST(Face Arms Speech Time) from his advanced tiger studies .We should all be praising Montecore the tiger for saving Roy's life and not relinquishing care until the ambulance arrived!! The tiger used surgical precision to accurately puncture Roy's carotid artery to relieve the pressure from a stroke!! Tiger Montecore is a HERO and should be celebrated as such for saving his dear friend!!!! RIP Montecore....brave tiger.
Kevin Andrews it's from the musical score for the movie "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story". "Heartbeat of a dragon" is the name of the song. It's used a lot for trailers and epic stuff. In fact I think TH-cams audio system caught it so you can find it in the credits for this video now. Also funny enough music from the movie "Dragonheart" is also used a lot in trailers and stuff. I guess Dragon themed things just have great music.
UGH OMG PEOPLE HE HAD A STROKE ON STAGE THEN MONTECORE SAVED HIS LIFE BY DOING THAT OTHERWISE HE WOULD HAVE DIED BECAUSE THE SIRCULATION TO HIS BRAIN GOT CUT OFF SO WHEN MONTECORE DID THAT IT GOT HIS BLOOD PUMPING AGAIN.
he wasn't having no damn stroke. that man was perfectly fine up until the incident. how ever I do not think monticore wntd to hurt n that he did pull off to "safety" as the crowd made so much noise he may thought he was in danger. but u CNT grab a human like u do a cub. ijs
Ruby Staging I believe they were trained not to do that. I believe the attack was caused by Roy not following the correct process or Roy had a stroke and the tiger saved him.
Can we get a live action movie based on their lives and how they made it all the way to vegas and their downfall? Edit: variety.com/2019/film/news/siegfried-roy-biopic-balloon-director-michael-bully-herbig-ufa-fiction-1203353446/ Well it's happening. I can honestly see this being a real film.
If he had passed out or had a stroke he wouldn’t have hit the tiger on the snout with the microphone 🎤, and the screaming 😱 you would think he didn’t pass out ... right?
Morgan Henry not everyone goes paralyzed when they have a stroke. plus the physical activity it took to run this show, practicing for hours on end, multiple shows a night, for almost a full year every year? they’re both extremely healthy and physically fit men. with their agility, i have a hard time believing a stroke wouldve paralyzed him. plus they’re very discipled and have the show must go on mentality. extremely strong minds mixed with adrenaline? i honestly think it’s totally plausible for him to move and speak while having a stroke. yes, it’s also very plausible he had the stroke after the attack, but with their commitment, love & loyalty to the animals, along with the animals intelligence, i really think roy is telling the truth. it’s been said that manticore was distracted (whether there was something wrong with roy, or from something else), tapping him on his nose with the microphone was meant to bring his attention back to his work. roy had to control the situation around him, i 100% believe he had the power & strength to do so.
Sometimes both Copperfield and dig frig and other illusionist use very same songs in there stage illusion idea concepts ps Doug Henning illusionist saved illusion of science magic and David Seth kotkin illusionist Copperfield perserved illusion of science concepts magic ideas
I hate to be a hater, but... Why the fuck would people try to tame a wild animal who basically kills for a living. There's ALWAYS a chance of something going wrong, and they're to blame. They die cause this happens? Too bad, their fault.
I'm sorry but there is more to these animals than meets the eye, way more, to say that all they are is a mindless killing machine is to severely underestimate their capabilities, these animals do have emotions and I can even show evidence that could support the claim that such animals even love.
Neer, ever use wild animals in a circus act. First of all these beautiful, rare animals are not made for jumping through hoops. They are not made to live like dogs in a home. This was an accident waiting to happing.

Together again with the animals they love.
I doubt it.
These guys were legends, they are missed
Love the last 10 Minutes ....... Great People all from the Show!!!!
R.I.P Siegfried, Thank you for the Memories
CANT STOP CRYING THEY R AWESOME!!!
I am very impressed with their story! These guys are amazing!

RIP Roy.. we will miss you here in Vegas.

As much as I love magicians like David Copperfield and Penn & Teller, Siegfried and Roy were always my favorite.
I %100 agree but, then again...I also love Criss Angel too😍
I'm more of a Penn and Teller person.

RIP Roy. You both were so wonderful and you will forever live in our hearts!
R.I.P Siegfried 😔😔
Rest in peace Siegfried and Roy
My biggest wish was to see one of these shows.
Sorry you didn't. I saw them once in the 90's at the Mirage and it was hands down the most amazing thing I've ever witnessed. RIP Mr. Horn.
@@RonSch123 I'm so glad and happy for you, I bet it was the best show you ever seen
RIP Siegfried & Roy ❤️ today they will be reunited in heaven
Great show, I wish I had seen them :(
In magic, anything is possible. ✨✨ And so it is. Life is magical!
Siegfried and Roy still the best.I have seen them 48 times.They will always be my favorite.
Teresa Costello why didn't you ever take me?
Brought me to tears...a wonderful blessing of a different kind of magic ....
Nycelina/Michelle Wightman no! It's terrible! They do terrible things to those animals
Wow!! the said Goodbye with Manticore on stage! Lovely and unbelievable.
Not sure it was manticore...

My all time favorite show I have ever seen!!😍

I feel VERY VERY bad for anyone who paid to see that pathetic excuse for a last performance!

Es una pena que no hayan documentales en español de Sigfried y Roy.
Amazing!

At that point, they were friends.
And lovers too, but it doesn't matter.
RIP Roy.
Rest in peace Roy
37:20 That appears to be Danny Devito in the audience, crying like a baby.

DonJuansDaddy roy said that he had a mini stroke that manticore sensed and tried to help him off stage
So you didn't't watch the video and listen
Roy is like dr dotadol :) talk and walk and sing with the animals :) ps there will be a time when folks can be with all kinds of animals but that's when first Jesus comes out of the clouds and second time he touched down onto planet earth

Came here for the Michael song lmao
What is the music that plays during the final performance? It's from a movie I think but can't pin point it.
Kevin Andrews it's from the musical score for the movie "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story". "Heartbeat of a dragon" is the name of the song. It's used a lot for trailers and epic stuff. In fact I think TH-cams audio system caught it so you can find it in the credits for this video now.

I think the tiger became frightened by the cheering crowd that night and grabbed Roy by the neck for overprotective in a sefe place
