Olympics 2012: Closing Ceremony schedule, live online, Sunday, 4 p.m. NBC TV 7 p.m. tape (Eastern Time)
From the huffingtonpost.com -
In a switch from opening night and what appeared to be a concession
to its vocal critics, NBC decided to stream the ceremony live online, in
addition to broadcasting it during prime time.
London organizers tried to keep the ceremony under wraps, but
photographs opf their rehearsals, in an old car plant in east London,
made the British papers almost daily.
The show will include performances of 30 British hit singles from the
past five decades – whittled by Gavin from a list of 1,000 songs.
Gavin said Saturday the show would open with a tribute to the
"cacophony" of London life, with a soundtrack ranging from late Edward
Elgar, composer of the "Pomp and Circumstance" march, to The Kinks'
"Waterloo Sunset." Frontman Ray Davies is expected to perform the 1960s
song, a love letter to London.
