    It would have been cool to see Led Zeppelin.

    Wow, seven minutes in and snippets of the Pistols' "God Save the Queen", "London Calling" and the awesome "Flower of Scotland".

    Note: that site also has the BBC feed, although it's a bit more choppy for me.

    I couldn't tell if the Sex Pistols were part of the CTV intro or Olympics intro.

    Guess the only sporting hi-lites fro N Ireland and Scotland were rugby.

    Not to spoil it for anyone waiting for NBC to show it, but I was a little surprised that they went with "Yakety Sax" as the music for the Parade of Nations. The good news is that since everyone marched in at three times the normal speed, it was over in 15 minutes.

    I believe it was the Olympic intro.
