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!

Thank you for your comment. I hoped others would enjoy the "in-person" experience as much as I have since the day my Beta-HIFI recorded it in the Coliseum, connected to the world feed. Will the 2028 Committee try to top it? I don't think they can.

@@steamboatism Olympic ceremonies since 1984 have become increasingly odd, quirky, inscrutable. It's to be expected in today's culture & politics. But LA 2028 hopefully won't be as eccentric as Paris 2024 was. However, being bizarre (& dumb) appeals to the Hollywood or entertainment crowd in the 21st century

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 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.❤

@camellahayes7092 I remember it ALL 2 well. I remember how we got there 4 hours b4 showtime holding down those heavy balloons with those bags. I remember it was an Indian Summer and how the Sun was directly on us and of course we were alphabetical so I was near the front 4 my last name begins with a B. I remember our uniform top was a long sleeved Hoodia with stars and arrows on each side. They wanted us ALL 2b great Ambassadors 4 the visitors, spectators, TV. And mostly 4 the athletes. We were told 2b and set a good example. Recently, my Mom said I received a letter from the UNITED STATES OLYMPIC ORGANIXING COMMITTEE asking if I would be interested in coming back 4 the next Olympics 2b held in L A. This time as a spectator...duh, of course, I said YES. Ironically I m in Paris 4 the current Olympics 4 I work 4 a performer. I used 2 live here in Paris, therefore I know it well. West Hollywood, CA. IS my home. So many great memories and now new ones wrapped with new friendships. Life has been a trip...well worth it ALL.

Television coverage to Japan was carried out by the Intelsat Pacific satellite. The line was disconnected twice. This was not uncommon for television space broadcasts of the Olympic Games in the 20th century. In Japan at the time, it was called "space broadcast" instead of "satellite broadcast," and the announcer said, "It costs money! Watch carefully!"日本へのテレビ中継は、インテルサット太平洋衛星で行われました。2回回線が切れました。20世紀のオリンピックのテレビ宇宙中継では、珍しくありませんでした。この当時の日本では、「衛星中継」ではなく「宇宙中継」と言われ「金がかかってる!心して見よ!」とアナウンサーに言われました。
