I am so psyched I found this!

Not a ceremony vid but one of my favorite music videos ever.

NBC did an Olympic compilation album prior to the Seoul Olympics. One Moment In Time was on that album and after Seoul was over, this music video was released:

One Moment In Time

Features a great scene of the Seoul Dove BBQ

Here is also Peter Gabriel singing 'Imagine' during the Opening Ceremony in Torino 2006


This is the stunning clip NBC opened their 2006 Torino coverage up with (I always love their openings), except this one like cuts out the middle part where the highlight all of the USA athletes....the full version was taken down

[SOlympiadsW]

these clips aren't ceremonies or anything but are from the 'Daily Show' and they always make me laugh lol:


Torino Opening Ceremony Fun


Athens Preparations Fun

I loved the performance of the Italian anthem, it was great, unfortunately the dvd of the ceremonies I have does not include it.

I have tried to find two clips from Sydney the anthem and the lighting, but can't, i know one of them is on the IOC site, but its poor quality.

[ChicagoFan90]

I've been trying to find for years, the cultural presentation of Atlanta, the five tribes, "Summertime", and have come up empty handed

If anyone has Barcelona, Sydney, or especially Atlanta on an internet file, (WOW, similar to Ravn) please post it here, or any other cereomy files.

Know requests have been dragged on here FOREVER before, but I might as well ask again.

- Thanks

[micheal_warren]

YOUTUBE is a great site and some som good stuff on it and thanks for posting these clips of the olympics

What? Have you tried the high-bandwidth version? Because that one is actually very good quality.
