cormiermax Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Not sure if this is the right thread for this but anyway... Just watching the Lakers home opener and they were playing music from the Vancouver OC during speeches? Thought that was kind of odd.

SkiFreak Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Few more . The opening of the Atlanta Games Atlanta 96: Call to All Nations Call to All Nations is a cool track. Actually, the whole Mickey Hart album it's on is good. I've managed to find all but maybe three tracks for the Atlanta opening ceremony. I'm still looking for: Georgia on My Mind as sung by Gladys Knight Past Olympians by Harold Wheeler and the whole summertime segment (I got two parts of it, but not the whole thing) I'm also trying to put together a whole playlist for the Parade of Nations, but am having difficulty identifying a number of the tracks.

4gamesandcounting Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Intriguingly was rewatchibg slc opening. Bit at the beginning with the flags of past host cities sounds VERY familiar to vancouvers music when the flame arrives. Anyone else think so too?? Also anyone got the music for the Vancouver countdown? The video they did at every venue at the start of every session?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of these are "fanfare-and-flourishes" music, so they will sound very similar!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotguy Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 I'm looking for the Welcome to the World song from Atlanta 1996 Opening Ceremony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTHarner Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 As Olympic fanatics we get into these musical pieces because of what they represent to us, the attachment of the memories from a certain Olympics to a piece of music associated with that particular celebration. But it dawned on me today while sitting in my car with an Olympic-related CD playing that friends of mine who haven't experienced these memories would probably think I was strange for listening to this stuff. To each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Mata Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Talking about music used to light the cauldron, here is the track from the opening ceremony of Albertville 92. Albertville 92: *La Flamme* Very good one! Very surprised. I never saw the Albertville OC but heard there was no countdown. Could we consider the one in that song some sort of it? You know, a "count-up"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Posted a couple of olympic musics in Youtube yesterday (i'll upload the MP3 later) I've found a clean version of Fanfare of Winter Light by Joji Yuasa, which was used on the Nagano 98 ceremonies. Also, the fanfare of Tokyo 1964 and the music for the parade of nations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 As requested by Olympian2004, here is the Olympic Anthem from the Squaw Valley 60 winter olympics! (the first time the anthem was played since it's reintroduction in 1958) Enjoy http://www.mediafire.com/?isfs8kq8ba6lmp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I'm not sure if this was posted before but.. http://hulkshare.com/jchufed85yq8 This is a clean version of Leona Lewis cover of Led Zeppelin ''Whola Lotta Love'' which was performed at the London 2012 handover, along with Jimmy Page himself and Philip Sheppard (who is expected to work as a music composer on the 2012 ceremonies) The version performed at 2008 had an intro which is missing on this track for a weird reason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtd111 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hello All! First I want to say how happy I am to find other people who enjoy Olympic music as much as i do! I was just wondering if anyone had the following albums, I have been searching for them for quite a while! The Games Of The XXVII Olympiad Official Music From The Opening Ceremony (2000) We'll Be One (CD Single) [2000 Closing Ceremony] Juegos de la XXV Olimpíada Barcelona 1992 - Música Deportiva Olympics XXIV: Olympic Themes By Charlie Skarbek 1988 Seoul Olympics I have all the track lists for these cd's, I just have had no luck finding them. If anyone has them and willing to email me, it would be greatly appreciated. My email is xKulinaryxKidx@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkiFreak Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Was this an official Tokyo '64 piece? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6TmLx4xFeE&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorchbearerAA Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Who has the music for the medal ceremonies of Athens 2004 (and not the YT version), or other music from the opening ceremony of Athens 2004? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Was this an official Tokyo '64 piece? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6TmLx4xFeE&feature=related Even if I can't listen to it (many music videos on Youtube are blocked for German users due to copyrights), I don't think so. Helmut Zacharias was a German violinist, and I guess he just made a record back then for the German market, honouring the Tokyo Games. I would be very surprised at least if he had any official connection to the Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
