[ronohietlo]

this is just a playback!!

[cc75frenchygirl]

no its not. status quo NEVER fakes their singing. NEVER. they're always singing live and dont lip sync ever

[ca1977a]

@cc75frenchygirl This is definitely lip-synced, the vocals are too impossibly close to the recording - the EQ, the reverb, the sound mix for the harmonies are all exactly the same. Status Quo are VERY polished live but they still couldn't have got it this close.

@ca1977a The fade out at the end is bit of a give away too!!

[MacFarlane92]

@ca1977a They always sung live but television back then always dubbed over live performances with the cd version which sucks :(
