baron-pierreIV Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) /\/\ Caught like the last 20 mins. Not very over-the-top; a little more restrained -- but the energy is very western. Of course, mass displays and a lot of jumping around, fake energy. Sort of reminded me of Melbourne 2006. Oh wait, I spoke too soon. The big post-lighting climax just came in. Those emerging red blossom lanterns (oh wait, are those red-waxed cheese balls ) just came up. Really IMPRESSIVE -- but what would have been impressive is if they lit up in various colors and patterns. But again, they didn't ask me.

Durban Sandshark Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 We've seen the TVE pre-Barcelona 1992 Opening Ceremony preview programming on TVE1. Now watch the immediate post-Opening Ceremony reactions and critiques from it largely from its CIRT studios on this 25th anniversary of these incredible Olympic Games: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durban Sandshark Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 The Kuala Lumpur 2017 SEA Games came to a close with this Closing Ceremony at Bukit Jalil National Stadium. Basically it just run of the mill as you would expect in many ways with them. Yet it had energy. Lots of it. And singer Ella with the best salute to Games volunteers I seen anywhere so far: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durban Sandshark Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 On that note, I do feel disappointed that we can't enjoy the Los Angeles 1984 Opening Ceremony on YouTube that had the ABC commentary anymore--and I seriously think the Globo version with Galvao Bueno disappeared too. Enjoyed watching it so much so many times after having not seeing in so many years since SpiritOf84 uploaded it. That kickstarted the Olympic love for me. This must be part of the terms of agreement with the US edition of the Olympic Channel hitting. Yet that has yet to show them--and I don't think there's a commentary-free version existing though the audio overdub can be omitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panamfan Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Here is an interesting find: Radio Moscow's English Language Service's coverage of the Moscow 1980 Closing Ceremony! Features a running description of the ceremony in English - including Lord Killanin's entire speech without voiceover. http://pastdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Moscow-Olympics-Closing-August-3-1980.mp3 Radio Moscow's English Language Service's coverage of the highlights of the day's Olympic events on July 27, 1980. http://pastdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/1980-moscow-olympics-highlights.mp3 Both clips are from the website PastDaily and are from the Gordon Skene Audio Collection.

Ikarus360 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 I don't want to sound like a naysayer but one thing I always hated of the Olympic Channel was showing the ceremonies in a 240p resolution. Like, what is this, 2006? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Have you noticed they always take down ceremonies videos whenever there is a proximity of Olympic Games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTHarner Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 I guess they do not realize that they can be used to heighten anticipation for the upcoming Games. I was planning to watch all the winter ones in January in the weeks leading up to the Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Funny thing, i was precisely doing the same thing these days, rewatching the ceremonies from Calgary to SLC. They haven't taken down these ones yet last time I checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 So...you take down the videos when people might want to watch them. Logic so warped it can only involve NBC &/or IOC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Salt Lake 2002 ceremonies are also now gone from the channel. IOC being dumbass as usual. Better watch all the ceremonies while we still can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
