Olympics Music Is So Powerful. It Drives This 1984 LA Olympics Montage. You Will Be Moved.

I got access to go behind the scenes for one of the most theatrically beautiful spiritually positive Olympic games moments – the opening ceremonies at the summer games in Los Angeles in 1984. At the time, there was a feeling by many, and certainly the athletes, then we were a global planet and that people respected each other's cultures and nations and systems enough so that the games could go on without major hassle. I had four camera crews with me as we went behind the scenes, handheld, with full permission from not only the Olympics committee but from the athletes themselves.

The people recording the events other than us were members of the national and international press. They tended to do things the standard way. but because the folks who gave me the money to make this documentary television special were Motorola, who provided the two way radios for the event, I got access as though I was a member of the security forces. Everyone Involved said "come on in."

This video is just a clip from the one-hour documentary that I made covering the behind the scenes activities leading up to the finale, the opening ceremonies in Los Angeles. In many ways, it was Hollywood at its very best with theatrics that were new to the world at that time – 76 pianos live on stage etc.

I'm sure that since then there have been opening ceremonies that are more spectacular in terms of light shows and advanced Technologies but there was something about this event back in Los Angeles in 1984 that felt so positive about where the world was headed.
