the english tend to be long winded at times...it did not happen on channel 4 here in the usa, there was no commentary throughout the song, no bob costas....NOTHING. i am dying to relisten to this if anyone can find it...it was fvcking flawless

We didn't have to suffer through that too badly. But we were subjected to endless pics of atheletes mugging for the camera.....Just show Neil. Old shakey looked great in his simplicity. Nice version of Long May You Run.

So gimme just a minute and I'll tell you why

Looked on there earlier and didn't see it. Thanks Lefty. Again,the simplicity of it just rocks. No screaming,yelling,bells or whistles. Let me just sing a song....And yes %100 live. You could tell when his voice cracked on "chrome heart" twice. Still far from Daltreyesque though.

Nice - and somewhat ironic - stereotype. By the way, she was Scottish. I suppose you'll be telling me next that probably means she was drunk.

Usually announcers offer nothing during these ceremonies. Costas did have one hilarious line though..."And here comes the always popular inflatable beavers" Closing ceremonies were kinda hokey in a typical Canuck way. They would have been panned as horrid but after the hockey game no one there cared! Nice to see the games play out with competitive events and no doping issues either. Is that a first?
