An urgent release of a 2-disc DVD set featuring the original BBC TV broadcasts of the London 2012 Olympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies—events hailed as the most spectacular in Olympic history!

These ceremonies served as a grand showcase of the past, present, and future of the British music scene. The stage featured live performances by legends such as Paul McCartney, The Who, Ray Davies, Queen, George Michael, and Annie Lennox. Also appearing were new-generation artists like Beady Eye, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Fatboy Slim, and Jessie J; pop icons like Take That and the Spice Girls; and figures such as Mike Oldfield and Monty Python's Eric Idle.

With the creative use of video screens displaying footage of John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, and David Bowie, and a soundtrack weaving in the history of British rock—from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Pink Floyd to the Sex Pistols—this is an event no rock fan should miss! This release captures the ceremonies from the BBC's high-quality HDTV broadcasts, focusing exclusively on the musical performances (omitting segments like the athletes' parade) while still spanning over four hours of content. Notably, the Closing Ceremony features the original live audio, free from intrusive commentary. This is a highly recommended title that documents the historic London 2012 Olympic ceremonies for posterity!
