Talking 2010 Olympics Closing ceremonies... Live audio?

I say yes. THe tuning in that first group was out. And I have a hard time believing Rush would lip sync....

Let's see how thoughts develop over the course of the evening.

There is no doubt in my mind that it was indeed lip-synced or at best partially live.

In any event, the visuals were spectacular.

That was my thought too. Some weird mix of live and sync. Shocking that one of the most obvious was Ben Hepner...

I have to defend my initial "Yes" by saying it was very early on in the night....

According to sources, the entire music/performance portion was all canned - only the speeches were 'live'.

The IOC will not allow ANY margin for error in live broadcast, thus the Milli Vanilli stance...

That being said, Neil Young's performance was indeed live and not lip-synced.
Thinking back. it did indeed sound like a live performance to me.
I'm not sure why this slipped my mind, but it did.

Furthermore, this has been confirmed by a reputable source that I know and trust.
