@goosehd Please tell me you knew that they were lip syncing. For starters there’s no amps,and when they do the shortened version of Light My Fire,Densmore forgets to do the accents etc.

@Jett129 I was engrossed in the sound and didn’t pay attention to the performance…hanging my head in shame and didn’t know that they lip synced back in 67…

Lesson learned…

…does explain why it sounded like it was recorded in a studio…

[Jett129]

@goosehd Bands played live on Ed Sullivan but not on American Bandstand. There was a whole big todo about Ed Sullivan asking/telling Morrison not to sing “Girl we couldn’t get much higher” Morrison assured him he wouldn’t and then did it anyway,which prompted the famous exchange where he was told you’ll never do the Ed Sullivan show again,to which he responded…I just did the Ed Sullivan show.

@Jett129 I’ve been going down the rabbit hole since you mentioned that…it seems like tv recording equipment couldn’t handle heavily amped performances and many of the so called live shows on tv were all prerecorded or sung to backing tracks.

I honestly didn’t know that lip syncing had been a thing for so long and learned something tonight.

Thank you.

…found a funny reference to it.

@goosehd This was performed live and if you listen closely at about 3:58 in you can hear them sing Up Against the Wall Mother Fuckers. Can’t believe they didn’t get in trouble for this.

@goosehd what's wild is Alex Chilton was around 16 or 17 at the time of that tune

[Jett129]

Alex Chilton wrote this one as well.
