Hehe yeah, now speaking about that, i founded the videos in Youtube from LA84 Closing:

UFO Landing

Unfortunately I feel asleep after Portugal's Carlos Lopes won the men's marathon before I had a chance to see the LA 84 Closing Ceremony the first time around on ABC. (all the more reason to have each Olympics on multi-(next-gen)DVD sets even more as collector's editions--more on that in the future). As some of you know, one of those breakdancers at the CC was future Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr. That was his first big entertainment-wise exposure.

Want some more Sydney 2000 Olympics Ceremonies stuff you'd say? Found this:

Midnight Oil--Beds Are Burning (Live at Sydney 2000 Closing Ceremony):


Taken from Denmark's TV2 (note the logo bug in the upper left hand corner), which broadcasted the Closing Ceremony in Sydney.

Enjoy!

Just found this too from Sydney 2000. An all too-brief (51 seconds) of the mass dancing with those giant Kewpie dolls created by Ian James Colmer with "Love is in the Air" playing recorded by someone at home telecasted from "Australia's Olympic Network", Channel 7.

Kewpie Dolls, Mass Dancing, and "Love Is In The Air":


(where in the hell's that Sydney 2000 Closing Ceremony DVD, Warner Vision Australia?!)

There are a lot of thing of the Sydney CC on Youtube. Too bad there's not too much of the opening, like Tin Symphony.

Some videos i published on my account from the Melbourne Commonwealth Games

The Flying Tram (Beggining of the OC)


Advance Australia Fair (Anthem)

what's the segment during the opening ceremony in LA '84 wherein they released gold and white balloons and well as the group of people who were playing the grand piano?

[rav3n]

The gold & White ballons thing was the beggining of the opening ceremony (when they formed the word ''Welcome'' on the field).

I found one from the Sydney 2000 Opening Ceremoney. It's Tina Arena performing "The Flame" right before the Olympic Torch enters the stadeum.
