LA84 Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 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.

thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Not quite the same as an Olympic ceremony - but if you wanna see Delta Goodrem get lost in a sea of fireworks while warbling at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony - here ya go! Great song, poor staging. From the closing here is Sarah Blasko doing an amazing version of 'Don't Dream It's Over' Also from the closing, here is the Dehli 2010 spectacular - India 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Some new YouTube links: Koreana's theme song for the Seoul 1988 Games: "Hand In Hand". I didn't know that they even had all former Olympic mascots perform in the opening ceremony -- you can see at least Misha the bear (I believe), Sam the eagle and Hodori the tiger dancing together starting with 3:08 minutes. Very cute! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAFhNobJABU The "Temple of Zeus" segment of Atlanta's opening ceremony in 1996 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRtOLZe5QZg LeAnn Rimes performing "Light The Fire Within" in Salt Lake in 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
