90s was the best decade for music, and they know it!

Well i don't suppose they had much time to set up the stadium and rehearse. Events were still going on last night.
As far as I remember the closing ceremony is always less formal and more impromptu than the opening isn't it?
Not as polished as opening night but I think it's more for the athletes and they seem to have partied and had fun.
