Lump in throat seeing the single forged ring raised to join the other four to form the Olympic symbol, though I would have liked it if they turned to the colors of said symbol as they "cooled", vis raining down a shower of rain forest-like fire. Another touch was the half ring of the beam engine stopping, restarting as a full ring (good latches, I suppose). And of course - Pink Floyd - barely heard over the din. Paul is getting old, did a pretty good job of getting the locals very excited. The most beautiful part for me was that the entire thing was accompanied by a fantastic female percussionist, backed by a thousand inverted trash cans of various sizes beat upon with a hundred varieties of stick and mallet. Awesome!
