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.

Something like what my 4-second google search produced?

http://touch.dailymotion.com/video/x7hh0m_midnight-oil-beds-are-burning-live_tech

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!!

Hi WYL, are you back from the humid-city yet?

would you possibly have any meterage of Aussie Lawn Mowers & BBQ's flyin' about the sky? & those burns? what about the Oil's beds R burr nink ?

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
