Olympics Closing Ceremony Watch-along thread (UK)

I can hear Andrew Ridgeley from here, saying “Why him? I could do this!”

Loving the gay/straight ratio of the singers - camp it up, Great Britain! :slight_smile:

At least he isn’t deaf dumb and blind

Kaiser Chiefs covering the Who? Pete and Roger not available?

Imagine, a town…were all the radio stations play nothing but David Bowie, 24 hours a day.

Rythym of the Heat segueing into Annie Lennox’s Little Bird?

Who’s the guy singing Wish You Were Here?

I recognize Mike Rutherford from Genesis and Nick Mason from Floyd, of course.

First time I’ve ever heard Russel Brand sing. Feeling better about rumors of him as Freddy Mercury.

Psychedelic Brand! Now we know he can sing. I can’t wait to see him play Freddie Mercury.

Love those audience lights!

This is utterly all over the place - Ed Sheerin + members of Floyd and Genesis?

Awesome! I will definitely be taping this in case I miss it later.

I just realized, I *need *a giant inflatable octopus.

Ok, through the looking glass now people. Hah, love the Russell Brand bit. The organisers really took a LOAD of acid, didn’t they?

I was hoping he was Nick Mason’s grandkid or some such, no what passes for a pop star these days. Get off my lawn etc.

Tiny fuck-up with the switcher. I can’t even imagine how many cameras this is using.

No way, Grandpa. Now let me plug in the fan to inflate my octopus.

It’s very cool. I’m thinking whoever thought it up begged and pleaded for it to be included, even though I don’t think it’s particularly British.

Argh, giant see-through spider. Or maybe an octopode of some sort.

I think it might be a Jules Verne reference.

Right, bring on the Spice Girls or I’m going to bed :stuck_out_tongue:
