In Reply to: RE: Lip-syncing on 60s-70's music TV shows? posted by mwhitmore on December 16, 2014 at 12:49:01
during the 80's, I watched AB every Saturday - without fail. One particular show featured Bon Jovi. I knew something was amiss as the band stopped "playing" to chat with Dick Clark, yet the song was still playing in the back ground...?

... I have to say that I can't remember even one “live” performance on Bandstand that appeared truly live to me.
But, man, didn't that show have some serious staying power?
Speaking of lip-synced performances on major TV shows back in the day, I remember one of the Young Rascals’ (at least I think it was them) outings on the Ed Sullivan Show. Though I don't recall the song, there was a section that had a flanged lead vocal track. I remember Felix Cavaliere picking up a hair dryer and “singing” into it each time the flanging came around. Wow.
Right On! Charlie-
as much as I love SNL, those guys have been guilty a few times over the years. As for our late-night hosts, Letterman, Fallon & Kimmel, I would like to think that their musical guests are actually performing "live"...
I'm with you on all stated counts.
My favorite SNL music bit was definitely live. I don't recall the exact year, but it was still early days. Elvis Costello was the musical act. The band kicked off the agreed-upon song (“Less Than Zero”), but less than a minute into it, Elvis stopped it cold and counted off “Radio Radio.” He was then banned from the show for over a decade.
Ha!
Happy days,

Excellent example- Charlie.
even today, I still cannot believe that SNL wanted to censor EC back in those days. IMO, SNL broke the mold called censorship! Too funny...
