@aplantage You are probably right. I do belive that the singing part was live but the music was not even close. Anyway it is i a shame that he died so young , he was a great entertainer and I liked the dark haired girls that danced with him in his videos,

@fendertelecaster8225 With "lip sync" I thought you meant the singing. Can't the music have been played from tape and Robert have been singing live?

@aplantage i HAVE BEEN PLAYING LEAD GUITAR FOR OVER 37 YEARS AND I assure you that the chords and melodies and lead licks that are on that song was not what the guitar player was playing. At one point he was not even playing the correct phrase that was coming out of the speakers. Robert seemed to be singing the words in perfect time but the musicians were not.

@fendertelecaster8225 Midnight Special is said to have been one of the few TV shows with live performances at the time, and this is a version of the song that I haven't heard elsewhere, so I believe it is live and not lip sync.

Although this was obviously lip sync at its best, Robert Palmer was a true rocker with amazing talent.
what an effing great singer.
