As a fan of fireworks - all that side of things was good and the Firebird dance with Darcy Bussell and the switching off of the flame was very arty and well done.
I wonder what will happen to the construction that made up the flame -presumably it will go on display somewhere...

Yes I liked the Who and I enjoyed the bit with Eric Idle.
The Brazilian bit was great and very... Brazilian. Nice to see Pele!
The Firebird dance was good. I believe all those copper "petals" will be returned to each country, who brought them in on opening nght, as a souvenir. The idea is tht the cauldron will disappear and each petal, with its fire-worn surface, will be the only reminder of its existence - got all this from an interview with the designer recently.
