Beijing 2008 opening ceremony video request

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Might be a long shot, but I am looking for some decent (eg NOT YouChoob) footage of the 2008 Olympics Beijing Opening Ceremony.

More specifically, the snippet from the 2008 drummers banging away a nice choon.

I already have a high quality torrent, and I would have bought the DVD, were it not for that annoying NBC logo in front of me all the time :|

So I'm looking for a version where there is no logo (a not too obtrusive logo might be acceptable tho) from any TV-station visible, in a rather high quality as said.

A long shot, but I really want to use it for a live video screening on a brand new FGG song, and you peeps are my last hope ;)

Thanks in advance!

I dl'ed it as a torrent coz I slept when it was realtime on tv. It's from Australian TV IIRC, there is a small logo in upper right corner, it's the number 7 with olympic rings under it. The file is 2.17GB, running time 4:12... let me know if you need it and I'll upload it to one of my servers.

My partner-in-crime assured me he can get rid of the NBC-logo, but I'll keep you informed when it doesn't work out ;)

Thanks a lot in advance and I'll keep you posted!
