I was a sound engineer on the night it was a truly fantastic experience , I was on the parapet looking down but I had my radio loop on ...The ground guys were amazing But the star was Toby ..he and his associate producers were world class. Missing 2012.....Chris

I was there. I was one of those Working Men & Women. What a great piece of recording. Hearing all those commands, I was re-living the whole experience in real time. Gosh, I've got tears in my eyes. I am moved. Thanks for posting this.

So calm! The lady on the Comms was rock solid! Whoever you are... what an amazing achievement

It was indeed one of the best ceremonies in history with exceptional concept and brilliant background score

Watching this more than a year after it happened, it still brings tears to my eyes. I was one of the WMW and will never forget this amazing emotional night, and the 150 hours of damp rehearsals that preceded it!

Thanks so much for this! I was also a Working Men & Women performer. Very very emotional to see and hear the performance from this perspective. Brings back memories of a fantastic experience!!!!! Thanks!

Still watching in 2016.

WOW! Thanks for posting this! I watched it side by side with the television footage. Simply incredible!

wow it was great to hear what was going on behind the scenes, well done guys, you were all awesome.

i was involved in this scene, and your camera is looking over my county (Fife). incredible to hear the commands that we had coming through our ears.

12 years ago! Still gives me goosebumps!

CONTROLLED CHAOS.. NEVER GETS TIRED REWATCHING THIS

Thanks for doing that, awesome to see those shots, enjoyed it more than the BBC footage, and great to be reminded of the IEM commentary :) Steve, 769, Isle of Wight

You should rename this video 'Isolated Performer Earpiece Video', or something like that. You'll get thousands of view then

Thank you for posting this! This is a really interesting record of what was going on, and of course, like all the Olympic videos, very moving too!

That the hell are doing the Beatles and the yellow submarine in the middle of the Industrial Revolution?

Emotional and missing it loads

Where did you get this audio feed from anyway?

It would be great to see the strike going on during Happy and Glorious, too. This is so great.

Watching this I regret over not auditioning for Rio 2016, despite having started my accreditation proccess.

That was pretty cool seeing what was going on behind the scenes while the whole nation was watching, Would of been much cooler if we could see the whole show with the behind the scenes voices etc. if Ii had to do that Ii would be shitting myself.

wow, so when I was saying to myself, how did they all do it so perfectly timed, well, this is how!
