NBC's coverage of the Closing Ceremony was also on a 2 hour (or more) tape delay. The live start of the Closing was 5:30 PST and it was all finished up by about 7:30. On the plus side though, you didn't really miss much after the cutover to The Marriage Ref. Apparently someone in VANOC was given the task of listing all Canadian bands that might play (ie. lip sync) one of their songs regardless of how popular or good they are.
On behalf of Vancouver and Canada I'd like to apologize for Nickelback. Despite what Michael J Fox said, we only like to claim the good talent as our own..... unfortunately no one will claim Nickelback away from us
