The Raspberries - Go All The Way

[fgldnglbs]

"Updating the sounds of the 50's"? Sounds like a higher octane take on mid-period Beatles, a vein that Badfinger and Big Star also mined.

7 years old in 1974 in the Philly suburbs.... Thank you, Mike Douglas for acts like The Raspberries and Starbuck.....

Many TV performances by groups would either be totally live, vocal live with the studio backing track from the release version, or a total lipsync. You can see that the drummer is not hitting the skins hard. Eric is singing on this one though. Live performances for many rock acts were not easily reproduced due to studio effects like flanging, echo, phasing, etc. There are telltale elements in a lipsync performance, no cables from electric instruments, light druming, etc.

I think what you're trying to say is that the air playback was from the lipsync, but what we're hearing is them playing along live, which was actually recorded. Cause this isn't the record...

What it *is* is the only version on YouTube that's at the proper frickin' tempo, so for that, thanks. :-)

This is the way they did "live shows' then. When they were in front of a live audience, they would lip synch the song with it playing over the studio speakers...when the show was broadcast they would edit the studio visual with the song. That way no mistakes and the sound would be clear for the TV viewing audience. The live studio audience would hear the softer, lip synching song.

Not a mistake here on the video...it's what was heard live.

Tragically poor singing whoever has overdubbed this.

Or, is this meant to be hilariously goofy spoofy.

Either way, not fooled for a minute, though I should think you had fun doing it.

[xtcpino]

@violethill Um, no.

[calinder403]

Mike Douglas is shown holding their album called Side 3. And the song they do, Go All the Way is NOT on that album. C'mon, Mike...l grew up watching your show, but really...?
