HOLY SHIT! I can't believe the Walker Bros. pull this song off live! For you none-musicians who may not have an appreciation, this is an amazing feet and takes an incredible amount of talent to achieve.

The Walker Brothers were one of the first live performances on this show. They are singing live and this is a lower key than the original recording. They would have had to. Scott's voice wasn't high enough to do the lead in the song's chorus. So in the studio version....John sang the melody from the hook...and Scott sang harmony during the chorus. Since this was live...they laid down the track in a lower key so Scott would be able to stay with the melody all the way thru.

@kgradwelll John is the one wearing dark, he played guitar as well, He died lately.

Scott is the star (=solo) singer, he also played bassguitar in the group. The third one, Gary (the drummer) is missing here, don't know why.

I admit that I'm not sure about the orchestra, although they stop abruptly at the end of the song which is not how it was originally recorded. However, both Scott & John are definitely singing LIVE! My comment was praising their ABILITY to remain incredibly true to the phenomenal studio version.

I don't think they are singing it live. but syncing it. At least there cannot possibly be a full orchestra in the RSG studio.I may be wrong though, in which case I agree with what you say. Just wonderful. he was the epitome of cool.
