Tell No Lies and Romantic Traffic by Spoons on Rock Wars

[jago1973]

Great video from a great 80's Canadian band! The lead singer (Gord) kinda looks like Uncle Jesse from Full House in these performances. LOL

It's all lip synced, despite the band member appearing to actually play their instruments and sing. It's too close to the studio version of the song to be a live performance. If youve ever been in a band, you'd know that no band can completely reproduce the studio sound in a live performance.

But don't be too hearbroken: This kind of lipsynching was commonplace until the Milli Vanilli scandal broke.

R. Traffic was lip synched but No Lies was live and boy was it ever done well. I loved the sampling on those retro electronic drums and Preuss was shining on the keys as usual. Nice vid.

@cookie13ca - No, this was definitely Rock Wars. Like I said, I was there, and they were taping it for the following Friday night broadcast.

@ajittffucre - it was awesome! Had a big crush on Gordon Deppe at the time, and it was so cool to be only a foot away from him...lol

Hmm this looks kinda familiar ;) Good job posting sir, I just never seem to get around to it!

Oh my God!! I was there with my sister (she`s the wearing the `Feed The World` shirt sitting on the stage in the front). We had only seen a recording of it once back in `85 and we thought it was lost in the archives forever. Thanks for posting - brought back great memories of the great time we had that night!
