@6828oaklawn the reason that the clapping is inaudible is because this video is overdubbed with the original song. This performance was live on hullabaloo and you can hear the clapping in the video. The live version is on youtube somewhere.
Must disagree somewhat. They'd do twenty takes in the studio and keep the best one for the album. On TV, you get only one take and don't have the luxury of sorting through twenty of them to choose the best. And yes, they don't have all the studio backup musicians, typically. Spector productions were HUGELY layered and overdubbed which was where the "wall of sound" came from. Still, lip synching is "fake" music to me. Look what happened to Ashlee Simpson on SNL. Your point is well taken, though.
@6828oaklawn "Musical acts cannot sound as good live as they do in the studio." Really? This is not the reason why they were lip synched back then. It was mainly because the tv studios didn't have the facilities for live performance. If you think about the way tracks were cut in the early sixties, to tape with minimal over dubs (especially spectors stuff, albeit the vocals were over dubbed) you're practically listening to a live track on the record!
The reason that the clapping is inaudible is because the whole number is lip-synched, as were most musical numbers on TV back then. Musical acts cannot sound as good live as they do in the studio. A fabulous song, however, and a classic example of the Spector wall of sound. Thanks for posting this rare clip.
Ineresting posting. Although the images are poor, the sound has some elements that other videos of this same song lack; the girl´s clapping, tough, is inaudible here. I like it, anyway.
The live version is better, why overdub perfection?
