@cristianccm this is from the VHS version! watch both the VHS and DVD back to back and on Cliffs set and the vocals are very different!! I think it was live and then dubbed it for VHS!! Why??? who knows!!

The Event had 2 parts:

.- Oh Boy show which was 99% mimed (only The Glory Of Love along was recorded live)

.- Cliff´set: was 80% recorded Live.

However I still wondering why Jet Harris and Tony Meehan as musicans accepted to mimed in a so important gig like The Event. It´s very strange but now all those things are part of the history and the stories behind The Event.

@cristianccm - A friend of my fathers, Nick, was one of the members of the Dallas Boys who also played on the event, he too said that they went in to Abbey Rd studios to record all there vocal parts.

@leeroysilk

Yes I hate to say it but all seems Move it was mimed. However not all the event was mimed and you can check it out on the dvd called the event.

The Cliff´s set was 90% recorded live.
