Olympic Opening Ceremonies Gear Spotting


Recommended Posts

Here is a strange Hammond Clone during Lady Ga Ga’s opening number. Could it be a Korg BX3?

Good chance it is vintage, since it appears to have an attached power cord.

i had a CX-3 back in the day but don’t recall having any white colored controls on the left panels.

I cannot ID the gear but whatever that pink plume is sitting atop her head is going to cause some type of interference or landing.🤣😎

Celine Dion brings down the house with a magnificent performance!  Brava!

Is it actually being played live or just for looks along with tracks?


That was my first thought.

When the dudes playing down the street at the pub are using tracks, you figure a big event like the Olympics would just fake it too.  Kudos to them if not.

The more it is a SHOW the more likely it is tracks and playback engineers every aspect is on a master sync clock.

I assume they did the same as they do at the Super Bowl. The music is tracked along with an emergency vocal track. Celine was obviously singing live. There was a pianist earlier in the show playing a Ravel piece that was obviously tracked.

That would make sense considering the scale of the event, yet I doubt Celine would have performed if she wasn't 100% she'd make it. Not knowing her but from everything I have seen about her, she's a total top notch professional in everything she's undertaking.
