Olympics 2008 Opening Ceremony Intro and Ending **Courtesy of NBC**

[clwgirl510]

Hey could you get the "Olympic Games Like No Other" video from NBC and post it on here like you did with this one?

[BlackForestWatcher]

I can't believe it...The beginning of the opening song is from Reunited from the Van Helsing soundtrack...like around 1:10-1:25 of the soundtrack..Yay! what a weird find ^^

[TheNuclearTime]

How the fuck did I get here?!?!?!

[604emo]

this intro just gives me chills down my spine

[NaBlink]

thanks so muchhh for uploading this :X

[tuxedosamck]

GREAT x 1000000..........!!!

[Samuelwhatshisface]

The worst thing about this opening ceremony for me, I doubt it'll be shown in full ever again.

[beccabonz626]

nastia tore that shit up

[Ammovir]

Compared to BBC; this is CRAP

[chicagoguy19]

@Ammovir nah bbc is always crap

[aznvi3tboiz16]

@Ammovir compared to ur mom, ur sister's better in bed

[CaptianSlurpie]

i bet the greek city states never would have thought of this ever happening

[crucialconflict02]

the 08 games were pretty awesome. but not as great as the atlanta games in 96.

[DreamBig2GoBig]

the concept of the olympic games is downright beautiful.

[landadi]

Hi, I'm doing my diploma work about sports and tourism, and this video just perfectly fit with the idea i want to defend, so I would like to use it in my presentation at university. Could you send me this video in AVI ou MKV format? this format from downloading it from you tube is not working on the editing programme. I really apreciate if u can do this! Thanks a lot.

[Misterbondi]

Where can I download it? In AVI or MKV....

[BROOKSIDEswimminGPAC]

i love this video its inspiring and makes you want to train so much harder

[heyuan41]

nice narration with excellent prediction:

are we going to see the fastest race ever? Bolt says "Yes"

a dynasty confirmed? Philips says "Yes"

a victory cheered by a billion voices? China says "Yeah, there are 51 of them."

[ItsEmmalicious]

aww that little earth quake boy is soo cute & tiny! especially compared to yao!

[Wolverinefan33]

"1.3 billion who frame the front page story of the 21st century" again so true

[benjimon8]

"are we about to see the fastest race ever?" kinda chilling to hear that since it was true (at that time).

[ususopen]

" A dynasty confirmed" (Misty and Kerri)-- Also true.

" A victory cheered by a billion voices" (Liu Xiang)- didn't happen, so sad.

[KNS1996DFS]

"Today, Liu Xiang came to the Olympic Stadium... and was prepared to risk everything to compete."

[MichaelTheTerrible]

It was alright not as good as they usually do. I think Salt Lake, and Torino where the best intros so far.

[tim1185ok]

i'm a big fan of those nbc intros. you can tell how much the people who make these videos love the olympics! now i really can't wait for vancouver next year and especially london 2012!!

[threestooges3]

tomorrow night tomorrow night tomorrow night!!!!!

[aznvi3tboiz16]

this video is goin to my favorite list. enough said

[asnster]

i m delighted to see some reports with objective view, which is on Olymplic only, but not about communist and politics. I had to see that I started to like NBC, and hate CNN

[ALEXBALLHOG]

can any one tell me what's the lady's name on 3:04 the one who has love written on her hand. thanks

[Wolverinefan33]

laure manaudou shes a french swimmer (pretty hot if i might say so myself)

[ALEXBALLHOG]

THANKS BRO

[evolutionbras]

[Wolverinefan33]

[meltz911]

Narrator?  Anyone?

[Gymgold07]

It's Andre Braugher

[930154]

The first song is "Reunited" from the Van Helsing ST, the second song is "Sector 6" from the Island ST and the 3º song is "The Brave Shall Rise" from Immediate Music.

[TheWalrusBeast]

o how I miss the Beijing Olympics. I so wish I could have been there.

[Jua410]

That ending song of 2008 Olympics was David Cook from American Idol.

[jmcniu]

I'm just like calebmateo. I actually had the whole opening ceremony, about 6 whole nites dvred, and the whole closing ceremony with credits dvred. I just lost everything on my directv mon when hard drive went kaput. 2 things, 1 incredible. 2 keep in touch. If u have the closing credits, whoa baby.

[crazyboy26k]

i just downloaded in hd the whole opening and closing ceremony

it's just amainzing

the 2004 and 2008 were the best

[23GrandMasterK]

[Aproxy2]

[Cton88]

[jmcniu]

Its Time of My Life by David Cook

[user202]

[kevin47999]

[visualfetish808]

I want to know who are the guys that writes these scripts and the voicever. Crafted incredibly beautiful!

[Upinsmoke1890]

this always gives me chills. I love how dramatic it is

[TheBraziliantV]

Agreed I remember I recorded the Beijing Opening Ceremony nd my favourite part was always this Intro. I literally get goosebumps when I watch this bit.

"Fall, Fail, Get Up"

[calculussuckshell]

best olympics of all time!

[sdb5013]

Here's the music for this clip:

1) Beginning to 40 Seconds: Alan Silvestri - Reunited (from the Van Helsing OST)

2) 40 Seconds to 2:16: Steve Jablonsky - The Island Montage (from the Island OST)

3) 2:17 to ending: Immediate Music - The Bravel Shall Rise

[Rranger22]

Thanks a lot!!

[calebmateo]

I had this on my Comcast DVR until the damn thing died on me. Thanks for posting this. That was a great few weeks...

[calb14]

what is the name of the song that starts at about 2:50..????

[nochance101]

i downloaded the 5gb file of this video. the resoluation and demand for high quality is so high i can't even watch it

[calebmateo]

Where can one come about this high-quality video?

[nochance101]

i downloaded it during the olympics when there was probably a lot of sharing. right now, you might not get anything. demand was high then so download was fast. search torrent sites like thepiratebay or mininova and places like those

[nochance101]

not just this part of the video, i mean the whole opening ceremony

[aristarchus03]

thanks, tawfiqmp!

[Seahawks604]

yea my bad

[tawfiqmp]

Yeah, I have it, I'll upload it when I get a chance.

[KYA789]

REALLY GREAT!!!!=) Amazing!!!

[mycssamail]

Thank you! eternal memory. Thank you for your upload!

[Kyoushiro89]

found the music :D The Brave Shall Rise by Immediate Music

[chansion]

This makes me cry....for so many feelings...

[snoot87]

no bugler's dream?= LAME

[scones288]

im amazed that people think that bbc cartoon or the cbc opening is better than this.

then again, nbc's been pulling this off the internet like no other.

[Historiiboii27]

This made me cry

[RocketsNBA]

Beautiful Ending.

It makes you want to go back and see the olympics over again. i can't use words to explaning feelings right now.

Thank You for uploading this.

[MichaelTheTerrible]

Who the hell is that man narrating the opening? Where is James Earl Jones?

[zemachj]

some one better add this or copy it because they will remove it  i dont know why nbc would not want to share this but they have gone way out of their way to keep just this video off here or anywhere else for that matter

[tawfiqmp]

I think they've allowed me to keep it on Youtube. I was in contact with them and they allowed me to keep it on Youtube. I have it on PC if they do remove it so I can host it somewhere else.

[scones288]

more like youtube sent you one of their automatic copyright claim emails.. ive about ten of those on my other account.

[tawfiqmp]

No, they didn't Don't try to tell me what the fuck I received. Who the fuck do you think you are?

[Seahawks604]

do u happen to have the closing montage that nbc did? that was sickk

[tawfiqmp]

You mean the closing ceremony highlights?

[calebmateo]

Yeah I'd like to the see that again also. The NBC intro to the closing ceremonies.

[tawfiqmp]

lol.. The nerve of even coming back to my video. Go fuck yourself.

[cameraman288]

this is beautiful. way to get all defensive.

and yes, it was an automatic copyright claim email.

lmao

[tawfiqmp]

STFU. You were not asked if it was a copyright claim or not.

[jb0661]

what is the song name they use???

[rickytolman]

I'm still searching for the music that starts at 2:52... must have...

[rickytolman]

YESSS! Been searching for this all over, thank you..

[cldsleyon]

Thanks so much
