Would anyone have a DVD copy of the 'Opening Ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics' ?

I'm trying to get a copy, but the used DVD's are highway robbery.

You are one strange cat DL.

Why do you want it?

You are one strange cat DL.

Why do you want it?

I just want to re-watch it, & have it in my collection. reminiscing. I think the thing that brought it to mind recently was a show about our aborigines, & the talk went to Midnight oil & their act about reconciliation.

So I decided I'd try to buy a 2nd hand DVD, until I saw they're rare & changing the world for them.

I am pretty sure Midnight Oil were a part of the closing ceremony along with the Reg Mombassa props etc, not the opening ceremony (unless both are included on the DVD?).

Oh geez your right,,, I just assumed without thinking, that it would all be on the DVD. all the ceremony. but I hadn't thought about that.

If there is anyone out there with this DVD, could they let me know for sure, if it contains opening & closing ceremonies?

cheers, DL

Not sure 45HG... I'm after a hard copy for my DVD collection.

I did a bit of searching and all reviews indicated that the DVD only covers the opening ceremony (on disc 1) and the athletes parade (disc 2); no closing ceremony footage. Also, it was filmed in 4:3 format and not widescreen which was a pretty dumb move.

The opening and closing ceremonies I can understand, pretty spectacular.

But the athletes parade? Can't imagine watching that too many times over... "And here come Angola, don't they look smashing..."

not interested in the parades at all, or the athletes.

Only the opening ceremony, which I was so so proud of, & with Cathy. & would also like the closing ceremony as well with the artists onstage, 'the Oils' etc.

WOW..... that really got me thanks 45HG

I'm not looking for a youtube. I'm was hoping to get opening & closings; but now after seeing the Thorpe interview, I also want the swim teams highlights, & Cathy too.

the Oils are something else.

seeing that makes me proud to be a member of this continent.

Aah yes. The BBQ's & Lawn Mowers were very strange.

Roy Slaven & H.G should have MC'ed that debacle.

Cathy got 2nd degree burns!!

careful there jazza. watching grass grow and thinking at the same time can be very bad for your health

best to do one thing at a time and leave the multi-tasking to the womenfolk
