Air apparently confirmed to appear. People who lived in the 90's remember them mostly for this:



Edit: Phoenix also confirmed to appear.

 

[Jussi]

It's on.

 

[Jussi]

Appropriate song to start off.

Heavy rotation on MTV Europe.

Oh that was Leon Marchand with the lantern.

Great to see Canada beat it's previous record, as I stated earlier. But now that I think of it, it was an underwhelming performance overall.

We should have finished in the top 10 in the medal count and the fact that we let that slip, as well as chocking in womens soccer and mens basketball overshadows our personal best for medals, IMO. Its great that we are doing better every year but as a relatively wealthy and athletic country we should be better, probably somewhere to where Australia is.

Nice use of Marchand to distinguish the flame in the cauldron & bring the flame to the stadium.

I’ll probably remember that this was finally The Moment for Paris. They had been trying any number of years to get the Olympics and kept getting stopped when they thought they had them.

Delco kid flagbearer.

Jim Fallon is so unfunny.

 

[Jussi]

I think I've heard this song on a Forza Horizon game.

Sexy Boy by Air? Surely you know that one.

Should have had 2012 until London bribed Madrid.
Paris had the highest rated proposal.

Yes, definitely. Used in one of my favorite movies, too.

They’ve been at this for like 40 years

 

[Jussi]

Crowd surfing?! That's not safe!

 

[Jack Straw]

Jim Fallon is so unfunny.

These commentators on NBC are highly annoying.

 

[Jussi]

"Freed from desire..."

 

[BMOK33]

Giorgia Meloni's reception from the crowd should be interesting. I think there will be alot of booing and whistling. Unless they pass it off to the mayor of Milan or something, often times its not the PM or President of the nation

 

[GKJ]

Man what the f*** is going on here

Art, you peasant!

Top tier "artistic crap" that I usually expect from these ceremonies.

 

[Jussi]

Now the party begins.

Oh, this band definitely had a track on one of the Forza Horizon games. Yup, the first one: "1901" was the song's name.

 

[Jack Straw]

Art, you pheasant!

The pheasant is a pretty artistic bird...

 

[Jussi]

This is Kavinsky.

Whoops, extra "h" slipped in there.
