I decided to watch the "We are One" Concert available on my "On Demand" menu, and guess what?

[FrenchieCat]

The program starts out with the Invocation from Bishop Gene Robinson.

Just wanted to let folks know that.

1. Isn't that great! HBO listened and fixed it! Or the transition team?..

Just glad he was included.

[AtomicKitten]

2. Comcast?!! Thanks for the heads up!

:hi:

[FrenchieCat]

4. Yep, Comcast.

I'm not sure how many more days it is being offered. Evidently it has been available for some time....

[Cha]

3. Great! I want to get

a DVD of that someday. I'm glad they unmessed it up.

[NYC_SKP]

5. Well that is Outstanding! Comcast, right?

Recommending, will kick later for visibility.

[FrenchieCat]

6. Yes, via Comcast on Demand....under premium channels, HBO offerings.

It is not subcategorized......as it is its own category.

[libnnc]

7. we have Time/Warner On Demand and

the HBO On demand does NOT start with the invocation

[FrenchieCat]

8. Which Cable company do you use, and what city are you in?

I'd like to research this.

[libnnc]

10. Winston-Salem NC and it's Time/Warner Cable

We watched it on HBO On Demand. It started with the overture and not the invocation.

Edit to add: they edited out the presentation of the Bald Eagles too. I wanted to see that part again and they cut it out

[FrenchieCat]

11. I'm in Northern California.....

I haven't looked for the Eagles...but Bishop Robinson was definitely the first one up, and the filming was just like the rest of the program....not that footage via Youtube.

Too bad I don't know how to get that footage from the Television over to my computer. :(

[cliffordu]

15. Then it's Time/Warner - Directv showed it.

[K Gardner]

17. Yes, caught it last night on DTV, too. eom

[ecstatic]

9. This seems to indicate that HBO was responsible for the initial omission

Perhaps Obama's team was trying to be gracious, just like they were to Justice Roberts after his screw up.

[dsc]

20. No it doesn't

The man spoke at 2:20 and HBO recorded, as they said they would, at 2:30.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

12. I was hoping you'd report that. I'm still bothered by the fact that it wasn't aired

initially and that HBO blamed the Obama inaugural committee for the oversight. That really bothers me if true.

[FrenchieCat]

13. I read this bit on it.....

14. The HBO webcast of the concert now also starts with Robinson's invocation.

http://www.hbo.com/weareone/webcast/index.html

The original webcast included the two bald eagles. Maybe someone can report whether that scene is still there.

[FrenchieCat]

16. Yep...that's what I saw.

[4lbs]

18. Only the HBO broadcasts of Jan 18 and 19 are without the invocation.

All broadcasts from after Jan 20 have the invocation.

[LaydeeBug]

19. We know this. Warren was STILL a travesty. nt

[cliffordu]

24. True. On the other hand he looks really cheezy and stupid

compared to the rest of the celebration/ceremony.

He looks like a fraud and a halfwit.

Which is EXACTLY what he is.

and if he stabs Obama in the back now, he looks like judas...(heh).

[alsame]

21. Cablevision in NY includes it now too. I saw the rerun last

night and I saw Bishop Robinson's Invocation, which was not part of the broadcast when I saw it last Sunday.

What a wonderful job he did! I really liked how he specifically talked about (then) PE Obama and the challenges he will face, including maintaining a special relationship with his daughters.

[Shiver]

22. I can't even find the concert On-Demand...

Stupid Charter Cable... :grr:

[Fleshdancer]

23. Great! His invocation was the best I ever heard

What did you think of the concert?
