Thank you Richard. This is gold 💛

The world and the USA were so much better back then. The Democrats ruined so much with their left wing BS

44 YEARS LATER...THEY WILL RETURN!

I'm thinkin' I just seen a Bob Clampett appearance! Was he the Badminton instructor?

I am so happy to find this video on Mr. Jack Mullin. His daughter, even I were good friends throughout high school and beyond. Mr. Mullin was such a kind man and very humble. I spent a lot of time at their house when I was growing up. I remember having dinner over there one night and it was Mr.Mullin who showed me how to eat an artichoke for the first time! I’ll always remember him for that. This video is fantastic . I’m so happy I can see him again. Thank you!

Who is ready for Olympic games 2028

Who's ready for 2028

26:53 The Star Spangled Banner 🇺🇸

1984年ロス五輪の開会式。前回のモスクワ大会で、ソ連のアフガン侵攻への抗議という名目で西側諸国がボイコット、それへのお返しとばかりに今度は東側各国が参加を拒否し、オリンピックは2大会続けて片肺開催となってしまった。それから44年、再度ロサンゼルスに五輪旗が戻ってくる。オリンピックのあり方や意義も大きく変わったがただ一つ変わらないこと。世界は相変わらず各国がガチャガチャいがみ合っている・・

A good time was had by all!

My niece also danced right there in the middle, she is now Morgan Elsbeth in Ahsoka and The Mandalorian

Carol and Karen you can't redo 1984 but you can sure try. We need Breakin - they were doing it at the Closing Ceremony of Los Angeles in 1984 amongst the amazing other segments with South Korean garb.

Must say the Acoustics of ABC's World Feed was incredible. Great work in 1984.

They will have a hard time topping the lighting of the flame in 84. for the 2028 Olympics. Rafer Johnson running up those steps was awe inspiring.

I must commend you for the excellent quality of the sound and the video. There are numerous videos on YT but this is the best I've seen. And it's so nice to watch the actual event as if you were in the stands and not having to listen to the constant chatter of the announcers on TV. Thank you!

This is the ABC world feed directed by Roger Goodman.

Ceremony starts at 16:12

서울올리픽 참 잘하긴 했지만 비둘기 이용한건 참 마음아픔 괜히 비둘기들은 엄청 풀어서 그때 많이 불타죽고 지금은 애물단지가 되어버림 얘네들도 생명인데 이용되고 버려지는 신세가 되버림 나라에서 관리도 안되고 참 안타까움 ㅠㅠㅠ

hmpf i can remember watching

I was there, aged 9. I still have the plastic sheet that was under the seats for the audience participation bit at 1:20:00.

Thank you for uploading this, great memories of the best Olympics opening ceremony in my life time followed by London's in 2012!

I just recognized the music they are playing: it is from the Battle of Britain movie and was actually supposed to be celebrating the Luftwaffe

Richard, thanks so much for posting this! I had posted our family's old VHS recording of the band portion a few years ago, but the video and audio quality was not great. Not only is the sound great here, and the video the best I've seen so far, I LOVE that it shows the performance without commentary or commercials - just like those in the stadium would have taken in the show. I was one of the Sousaphone players in the band, having just graduated from USC that Spring. Great memories!

I cant wait for the next olympiad!!! LA 2028

Hardly anyone put their hand over the heart except President Reagan in those days.. and I still don't

I was a volunteer on the Opening and Closing Ceremonies for the 1984 Olympics. I remember putting out alot of those poles and sandbags on the field for the those ballons. I was in the basketball arena behind the Stadium as that was the staging areas for the competitors, performers and TV crew. 40 years have gone by but I've never forgotten that summer. What a privilege that God gave to me. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.❤

So much better than a lot of that garbage in Paris

It's been 40 years since the 1984 Summer Olympics began.

As I watch this, it is 40 years to the day (7/28/24) that these ceremonies took place. I didn't get to watch them live as I was in Basic Training at Fort Sill, OK at the time.

Bananas - A Film, without audio 😄🍌. Good clip, thank you for posting. Love these interviews from the past, especially the fashion 😍

Who is here after paris 2024??

Anyone here after Paris to regrow brain cells?

Richard Simonton - America's Finest Moment as was Beijing 2008's Shining Moment

Probably my favorite memory, all those rehearsals in the week culminating in the Olympic Band performance for opening and closing ceremonies.

So much fantastic recording history. I hope all that equipment has been preserved.

4:10 Notice the Handel reverse painted lamp with original acorn pulls there on the table…..

Enjoyed a blast from the past. Thanks Richard Lyn L

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing.

7:23 from Los Angeles, California. ABC sports proudly presents the opening ceremony of the games of the 23rd Olympiad.

I was part of the 1984 Olympic Drill team. They auditioned Cheerleaders, drill teams, tumblers, etc in the end what an amazing experience. I still have my origram and uniform. So many great memories.
