IMOHO there's never been any thing contrived, manupulated, or manufactured that even approaches the monumental technical, asthetic, or entertainment visuals I experienced in this kick-patootie production. How you coordinate 2500 people to actually make these intricate manuvers bewilders this ole feller. Heck fire, Pat Sajak has to have Xs' on the floor to show where he and his finalist stand on Wheel. I'm amazed. WW

It was an incredible show. I feel really bad for London as there is no way that they can even come close. I guess in a way it is good as there is no pressure to try to match it. Shows what $300 million can do. The drum set was incredible, the scroll was gorgeous. the tai chi set was impossible and the type set one was mind blowing....i thought it was hydraulics....it was people power....and at the end of the session, beyond the individual meanings of each of the sets, that was the strongest message.....
