Mc Cartney was shit, but I thought the rest of the ceremony was pretty incredible. I can’t even begin to imagine the level of technical production that went into making that thing happen.
just seen bits of the closing ceremony – on one level its impressive but other than things like LED lighting so much of it and the content looks like it could have been all done a decade or more ago.
Even the design and decor other than the LEDs look like 1990s era light entertainment shows.
Plus NL and BE put that level of production into their raves but keep them affordable and more accessible than the Olympics…
in many ways its a great shame we didn’t get the chance instead of AU in the 2000 (when times were better) and AU get the olympics now – they are probably in better political and economic shape than us and could have also done it with even more solar power and high tech stuff as their Asian neighbours would be able to help them out more.
Only in Britain would we try and “party like its 1998” 😉
