@handsomerube neither kd nor jb would be able to interpret the magnificence of this song if it weren't for Leonard Cohen's awesome songwriting. A huge Canadian talent.
I spent $4,000 to be there that night and after I heard this I knew I would cherish the experience forever - no regrets!! My Mom and I both had tears streaming down our cheeks!
One of my all time favorite performances. I can't imagine what it must have been like for her to sing that song at the Olympics.. what a magical moment.
being a born and bred Vancouverite - and this being my favourite song of all time, this was such a proud proud moment and k d is incredible and canadian - what a moment
I loved the performance that day so much I downloaded the song immediately! Simply awesome! I've heard many people say before..."that moved me" and thought...BS... then this performance really moved me...
Thank goodness! Being from Sydney I still bask in kd lang performing 'You'll Never Alone" at the Gay games. I'm really going to show my age if I recall going to Canada to see her in 1988!

Thank you for giving us the chance to see this fantastic opening event. However I find it hard to believe that when you consider all the people present that their isn't a better copy of her doing the opening.
When I first saw her singing this song, shuffling along in her dressing gown and bare feet, I thought, what a tramp. But when I saw her within this performance, I've not been able able to take my eyes off it since.
I am a proud Canadian and was also proud of the Olympic event we put on, but I am ashamed of the way vanoc has dealt with the public, the business community and with how controlling, censoring, and oppressive they have been.....shameful
It is truly a shame that this live version of this vid has been banned ! It is a beauty and should be FREE for the world to see it and appreciate a beautiful moment with K.D Lang after all the Olympics were broadcast all over the TV for free for the world to see. By the way, thank you for posting this and yes, luckly it is still running :)
I got to see the dress rehearsal of the opening ceremonies.. and it was just amazing. The Winter Olympics were the best two weeks Vancouver has ever had! (since Ive born atleast) I miss it so muccccccch!
This video is the to show those unforgoetable Moments in the early hours of Opening Ceremonies of Vancouver Olympics. I saw this on YLE (Finnish Broadcasting) -
and no-one, not even the money-grubbing IOK can ever take away those memories.
I found an excellent version of this on isohunt that someone had downloaded from Swedish television. I hate to promote illegal downloading, but I cannot for the life of me understand why we can't post a good version here on the tube. It's just ridiculous. Download it, people!
A gold medal in my eyes. Brilliant performance. Shame on whoever banned the live versions of this vid. The Olympics are for the world. Free of charge. The whole world has lost when we are banned on seeing such a beautiful song sung buy a brilliant performer.
@DanSkyDivide I think the IOC banned it ...it was posted for a short time then was removed... I bought their DVD just to get the original but it was different than live broadcast I would love to see the original broadcast again If anyone has it please respond
@inextremus2 well fucking said!!!!! i been looking for it live for like 30 mins now.. and i found this. all the other are pics.... thank you to the person who up loaded this :) Such a Beautiful preformance!
I loved this..I sat in tears wondering why I was still in the UK?? It made me very homesick for Canada..KD is an angel..her voice is pure awesomness!!!
Proud to have spent a long time in Canada!! brought back so many wonderful memories....
I thought I heard every hallelujah cover, but I'm glad I found this one. Wonderful performance. I can't believe I'm just discovering this now. I watched the whole ceremony, but I must have taken a six-minute shit when KD sang.
This song makes me cry every time I hear her sing it. Why can't they just let us post something that should be shared instead of trying to make a profit off of something beautiful.
@MrPinksBane It's a camera on a cable that could fly over top of the stadium floor. It panned the audience and also the performers. It is commonly used in football games over top of the field. Hope this helps.
I still get goose bumps everytime I hear K.D.'s version...this truly is the voice of an angel. Her inspiration could guide every angel in heaven. She makes me cry everytime I hear her version...absolutely inspirational, beautiful and endearing to your soul. Thank you for allowing us to relive this memory for the Vancouver 2010 games.

As a big fan of KD Lang....I'd recognise her voice anywhere. This gave me goosebumps, without even seeing her. It deffo brought a tear to my eye too. KD....you are one of the best.
I got to go to the Opening Ceremonies dress rehearsal and we were all in awe, she ROCKED it. My friends and I literally sat there with our mouths open, it was so awesome! I loved every part of the opening ceremonies :) and I will never forget the following 14 days; what an unbelievable experience and show Vancouver/Canada put on. I heart being Canadian!
How convenient for Canada to have such a voice to call on to represent her center stage while the world sits silently squinting our ears to hear just a tiny bit better.
There really isn't a more talented or gifted voice in our time.
None of those manufactured drones out on the pop charts has a sliver of the natural wonder of this woman's voice.
...& she's a fantastic person too.
We are truly fortunate to be alive at the same time as she & be able to witness her incredibly magical voice.
This was THE highlight of the Vancouver Olympics from a non-competition stand point. KD represented only the way she knows how! Giving her all and making everyone feel the words - I will long remember this and always be thankful I was able to see it live - even if it was only on TV. Chills and Tears do not convey the passion and emotions touched by this performance. Thanks KD and Thanks DanSkyDivide for sharing this.

Amazing song, amazing voice, amazing woman....I sometimes listen to her singing this over and over...she is a rare talent ....and a beautiful sexy woman!
Watch Kd @ the Max Sessions in Sydney Opera House in Australia. Awesome clarity and picture quality. Just type in "kd lang sings Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' @ the Max Sessions"
Cohen's songs have a tendency to take on a mystical life of their own and kd lang has raised this one to a new level of consciousness. What a stunning rendition she performs here; absolutely breathtaking. Within the first few bars, everyone is spellbound. Canada, you should be very proud of your Daughter of Prairies.
@donpazer it all has to do with copyrights. the Olympics is money and for everything they officially broadcast they have the rights. own recordings of the event can't be copyrighted by them, neither can this song in it's own right because it is copyrighted by whoever holds those rights of the original song by Cohen . so they either can't claim the rights to the audio even when it is the audio as was broadcast in the official ceremony. and this is a great performance by kd
@DanSkyDivide I don't know how you could listen to her sing this song and "Not" have a tear in your eye. Brilliant performance. Thats a memory to hold onto!
good version...but wouldn't exist had it not been for the magnificent version from jeff buckley.

@DanSkyDivide I don't know how you could listen to her sing this song and "Not" have a tear in your eye. Brilliant performance. Thats a memory to hold onto!

This was so gorgeous to watch on TV, I can only imagine how it must have felt to watch in person. You're very lucky to have been there. :)
