How can ya say it's live, when Del's obviously lip-synchin'? Del hit #33 in Billboard, 2-6-82. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great week. RIP, Del.

@DaveWollenberg This IS live

[DaveWollenberg]

@DelRocksMySpace More often than not, the acts lip-synched.

[DelRocksMySpace]

@DaveWollenberg That may be the case, but I can assure you that this performance by Del Shannon was recorded live.

I think Del sounded even better when he got older. His voice was always right on pitch. I am listening to all his hit and loving every minute of it. I just hate he didn't know how great he really was.

Del Shannon forever

Hard to believe the harmony vocals starting at ~ 0:50 aren't studio-doctored. Almost sounds like a female ensemble.

@DaveWollenberg actually heard Del say on an interview when asked about the two different endings - quote he says the Solid Gold performance was recorded live

I prefer his 80's voice to his 60's.

@portagee66 Thanx fer yer good review. Ya had the good sense not to use cuss words! Can't STAND to read those!

@DaveWollenberg I heard him do this live and it sounded every bit as good as this. WATCH HIS THROAT as he sings this in this clip, and listen for his breath. It's LIVE. He was one of the few who actually sounded better live than in the recordings as he got older. His live "Runaway" just a year before he died beat the old recorded version COLD. It was cleaner, clearer, *more* soulful, absolutely beautiful. They don't make them like that anymore.
