Durban Sandshark Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Does anyone has the web addresses to the Athens 2004 Pre-Olympic show that was on ERT's ET1? Thanks! Those are awesome. I think in the Athens Countdown/Opening, that was the BBC commentary on YouTube.com wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olympian Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 for some reason i love Atlanta's Welcome to the World segment. i remember watching the ceremony its one of my favorite moments of the 1996 ceremony. There's some air of lightness to it as well as fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rav3n Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Some people consider the ''Welcome to the World'' segment as the best of that opening ceremony. I liked it, but for me ''Sumertime'' was the best, & the tribute to Martin Luther King (his famous speech ''I have a Dream'' sounds, and images of his dream of unity appears at the screens) probably the most emotive part. Now i'm looking for segments of Los Angeles opening & closing ceremonies, that i have hearded they were very Hollywoodistic (with UFO's, references to Star Wars & even Michael Jackson singing Thriller at the opening ). If someone have them, try to upload them to Youtube. Edit PD: Sorry, MJ singed Beat It, not Thriller, a little mistake xDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattygs Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Beat It was played in one of the ceremonies, but it was more of a big band (and possibly choir) version if it - not MJ himself. I think it was part of the Music of America segment which at times was quite spectacular. It also included a number of camp men in short shorts singing a chorus line. The spaceship was quite a cool bit of the closing ceremony. The spaceship did a *spacey* sounding rendition of Olympic Fanfare and Theme, which was repeated down in the stadium. Like a call and repeat. Then an Alien appeared in the middle of the peristyle and babbled something or rather . The closing is probably also best remembered for Lionel Ritchie's performance of All Nite Long, complete with an impressive stage construction with fountains and everything.

rav3n Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hehe yeah, now speaking about that, i founded the videos in Youtube from LA84 Closing: Lionel Richie - All Nite Long http://youtube.com/watch?v=ISIrR82m36E UFO Landing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxigHUp8ffM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durban Sandshark Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 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): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXgzIefheew Taken from Denmark's TV2 (note the logo bug in the upper left hand corner), which broadcasted the Closing Ceremony in Sydney. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durban Sandshark Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 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": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcZeNagQocc&NR (where in the hell's that Sydney 2000 Closing Ceremony DVD, Warner Vision Australia?!)

rav3n Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 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.

olympian Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rav3n Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 The gold & White ballons thing was the beggining of the opening ceremony (when they formed the word ''Welcome'' on the field). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 these clips aren't ceremonies or anything but are from the 'Daily Show' and they always make me laugh lol:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6li0-Vw2Mcg&NR Torino Opening Ceremony Fun I've just seen it.. very funny, especially the songs which followed the nations parade!
