allthekingshorses Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Where's the video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledded1 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 It's a TV programme so is that shocking. In the UK Top of the pops usually had miming. It's the album verson you are listening to is it not so why the big deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 No, I could still hear his voice at the end, but it faded out. I did not see any discrepancies between the visual and the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninelives Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 That's what I thought! I feel like a kid that's just been told there's no Santa Claus! I'm not sure why - they certainly never did that in concerts. Sometimes on television programs, artists lip synch as opposed to a live performance - it's not uncommon nor really a big deal.

eternal light Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 he missed the intro At 0:16 but how can you tell the microphone did not pick up his voice from a distance? It is possible that he was singing live against a recording of his voice, so there could have been two layers of vocal sound, one recorded and one live.

huw Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Definitely mimed: Watch right to the end - the music does a fade & Page is still playing. That's always a classic way to spot a mimed performance. Plus (although it's hard to tell because of the quality of the video) the instruments don't seem to be pluged in to anything - Page normally uses cables, not wireless, but there doesn't even seem to be a wireless unit visible. The biggest giveaway of all though is Michael Lee on drums - watch him closely - sometimes he's crashing a cymbal that just isn't audible...

kaiser Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I don't think it's a big deal when lip synching is done for television shows anymore than I have a problem with officially mimed performance videos or promos that a band puts out themselves. This has been going on since the silent era ended in movies ie Al Jolson really didn't sing "Mammy" live lol. A concert is a different matter though, but even that depends on the artist.

ADOC Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Plant misses beginning of lyrics badly and Jimmy is plugged into air. From every appearance it was sellout lip and pantomime job. Is there more of these performances to be found is the big question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 It seems to be a combination of mimed and live performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo2000 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 There is definitely more than one Vocal track in use here. Robert may be singing one of them, but it doesn't take Columbo to figure out that there is at least one backing track. It seems that the drummer is in his own world as well.
