TMO sample during the lighting of the cauldron.

finally got the kids in bed and i'm watching the US NBC coverage now. matt laur and meredith vieira won't stop fucking talking over the top of it.

does anyone have a link to a non-live streaming version? i'd like to experience this without brain dead news anchors babbling over it.

that said, of what i can hear, it's pretty damn amazing. that opening piece with the percussionists was great, and then a lovely transition into elements of TMO.

Rez, Dark Train, Crocodile, TMO - new things - great job by uw; but hats off to Danny Boyle - mad stuff at times, really well done!
