honestjoe1000 - only a guess, but VERY FEW "live"performances on TV were before the 1980's. Most played a backing track through the audio feed for AT least the instruments. The vocals sometimes were mixed live but often lip-synched. The only always truly live performances from that era that I know of were the BBC Live in studio broadcast. Some reissued on CD. This sounds like my old Fender Rhodes electric piano. All just a guess though. Loved it either way.

I love the video, and hearing them again, how we did not cross paths then and exchanged phone# and contact info never know. My Ex is a splitting image of the guitar Player, nice can still play both the Bass/Guitar Parts... If today's Kids the play music this sold and classy I might by a new record, Oh Their CD's Now.

@DLT100 ,

I will have to check out Slick Black Limousine. I loved Billion Dollar Babies! It pops into my head all the time.

[jonpaulmoen]

I wish they would show the drummer more. She's kinda cute.

Elton John was "live in the studio." I love Sir Elton John. I didn't see him on this show that night. Maybe that is for the best. I can't imagine that his performance was better than this.

I thought I was an enlightened 60's and 70's dude. Somehow I missed this song. I was not familiar with it. It is superb. I now need to rethink my life.
