    I was a drummer in the opening ceremonies-- had two guys carrying the green Taiko drum I was playing on the field. Wore one of those pringle outfits. We waited with John Williams at every rehearsal and on the big day. Great guy. He teased me about having my music on a transparency taped to my drum-- said "I wrote that one!!" It was hot as blazes and a once in a lifetime memory.

Of note even though Los Angeles was the next host in 1984 the US flag was not raised and The Star Spangled banner was not played during the closing ceremony in Moscow because the IOC did not want offend the Soviet hosts.

      Second best musical selection for Olympic ceremony only behind the Closing Ceremony for London 2012. Especially enjoyed listening to Midnight Oil with "Beds are Burning." Just wondered why INXS and ACDC were not invited since they are well-known Australian music legends.

    Having watched this opening in 1996 and watching this replay gives me nostalgia and coming to my conclusion that, this was the best sports event opening I have ever watched. This was simply the BEST. The organisers spent every sweat on something that is likely never ever get a repeat in our life time. Love from Namibian 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦

    I remember watching the Atlanta 1996 Closing Ceremony but I did not get to see the whole thing because back in 1996 ,
    The Olympic Truce did not work too good for me on a school night as in back to school the next morning ( Monday ) when I was an autistic SPED school student
    ( in fact , beginning My Senior Year in High School ) . Now that I am an autistic stay at home son I have all the time in the world for an Olympic Party .
    With that said , this shows more than even what NBC themselves showed on that night of the opening ceremony .
    Thank Goodness for The Olympic Channel !! Please post the closing ceremony as well .
    Honestly , whomever posted this couldn't have picked a better time for it . I needed a little light from the light right now .

      Atlanta's organizers had said it themselves that they are not a world-famous metropolis, nor were they pretending to be one for the Olympics. Atlanta was all about Southern Hospitality, being genuine, and showcasing a part of America to the world not often talked about in pop culture. I think the 1996 Olympics really shines in its warmth and energy, something that many successor games lack despite being bigger and more flashy.
