AllisonAdler Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I thought she sounded great and Jim and her I thought gelled well together. I have said before I do not like her music but she does have a really fab voice, as for the rest of the eight min slot : it was vibrant and a good contrast to the overly produced Chinese stuff, so for me I think it was great but thats my opinion, no need for being embaressed I really agree, leddy--and what a great way to celebrate Team GB's fantastic success there!

°°Percy°° Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Sincerely I don't like LL and her voice and honestly I've not seen the ceremony becouse I was not so excited to see Pagey play (probably in play-back) with her... Well, don't kill me but I think it's sad to see him 30 years after Led Zeppelin period... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slave to zep Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 The BBC just had a quick post performance interview with the three of them. Jimmy looked very happy, joked that it was great for everyone, even 'old timer's like me'. He had a little giggle and then he walked away is this on you tube yet? anyone have a link? thanks!

But too each their own I suppose. I've just seen It and... Well I think the performance was in play-back... IMHO it was sad, as I said I don't like her voice, but, just a question: Why did he play Whole Lotta Love?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickenpieces Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Definitely saw notes fretted amidst the posturing that were not heard. I heard notes that I didnt see fretted either, but do YOU think any of what was heard was LIVE? Leona has a ear monitor, was her voicing live?

Evster2012 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 lol ev, read my lips..AFTER performance interview! haha Bah! I'm such a tard! No sweetie, haven't got that one yet! I heard notes that I didnt see fretted either, but do YOU think any of what was heard was LIVE? I can only speak on Jimmy. He was definitely not playing live. Dunno about Leona.

hot dog Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I can only speak on Jimmy. He was definitely not playing live. Dunno about Leona. I'd not be surprised that, given the Chinese thirst for perfection in relation to these opening & closing ceremonies, they'd not leave anything to chance and the whole performance was mimed...

Angel With A Broken Wing Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 If it was a recording, I wonder if it'll get released? They started advertising a week ago for DVD of the opening ceremony, so I'm guessing that a complete DVD of opening & closing ceremonies plus event highlights will be available within a month.

longdistancewinner Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 is this on you tube yet? anyone have a link? thanks! Well, it was a BBC clip and just popped up unannounced, so unless you recorded the whole thing, you may not be able to see anything. There was a clip, but it was taken down.

That there would be as much justification for the pre-recording as any. You're probably very right about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquamarine Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I think when you're putting on a show on that scale, with a worldwide audience and a cast of thousands, and a zillion things that might go wrong (like, say, one of your musicians trips and breaks his pinky . . ), you just cover your ass in every way possible, like pre-recording whatever can be pre-recorded. Slave to zep, there are a couple of Youtube clips further back up this thread. Here you go-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajAB-Bdmk00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
