Pipeman in the Pit for 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony Music w/Special Guest Artist Corinne Barrett

The Pipeman is in the Pit with his PipeNuts for music from Lady Gaga, Gojira, an amazing performance of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s Imagine and Celine Dion at the 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony in Paris, France along the Seine River with Special Musical Guest Corinne Barrett and some new music this week for Season 18, Episode 27. This week let’s forget about politics, division, and all the other crap in the world to celebrate togetherness, love, and peace.

Our special music artist guest this week is Corinne Barrett who will talk with us about her Global Song Awards Contest is now open for entries with amazing prizes in all categories of music.

Lady Gaga kicked off the Olympics opening ceremony performances singing in French with a rendition of Zizi Jeanmaire's "Mon Truc En Plumes" on a set of stairs along the Seine River. Surrounded by pink feathers, Gaga's brief set was reminiscent of her Jazz and Piano residency in Las Vegas. It also appeared to pay tribute to Jeanmaire's performance of the song on the Ed Sullivan Show. After descending the stairs, Gaga kicked on a chorus line and played on a piano.

Then the cloaked figure carrying the Olympic torch crashes a performance of Les Misérables and kicks off a performance dedicated to "liberty" at the Olympic opening ceremony, complete with rock and opera music with an mind blowing performance by France’s own Heavy Metal Giants Gojira.

We had a moving performance of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s 'Imagine' takes place on a fiery raft that gave the Pipeman chills. The performance by pianist Sofiane Pamart and singer Juliette Armanet is meant to celebrate a world reconciled and without borders. "Imagine" is a permanent element of Olympic protocol, per organizers, having been a highlight of many recent opening ceremonies.

And possibly the best part of it all was the signs of Liberte’ and Solidarite’ where we can imagine the dream of all the world’s people living together in love, peace, and harmony. This is what the Olympics are all about!

Céline Dion closed out the opening ceremony with her first performance since she announced her diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome in 2022. Dion performed “L’Hymne à l’amour” by the French singer Édith Piaf, from a stage at the base of the Eiffel Tower. It was a tear jerker watching Dion perform perfectly with what was probably one of the most difficult and honored performances of her career

Let’s not forget Snoop Dogg all through the opening ceremony starting with carrying the torch to just being entertaining the whole time spreading messages of peace and love.
