OK kiddies, I'm gonna explain how we watched bands on daytime talk shows in the old days. Every single band had a lip-sync performance, from David Bowie to Peter Frampton to ELO! Even American Bandstand never had a live performance from their guest bands. That's just the way it was done back then. I'm old and I know, because I was there. This is a great, RARE appearance by ELO, including Kelly Groucutt's early look, and you should appreciate it for what it is - CLASSIC!

Actress and now singer Sally kellerman!!!! she could never sing her career was going downhill at the time.
-
WOW! Fantastic footage! I didn't know this even existed. Thanks!
-
As I said, "daytime talk shows in the old days" were lip synced. The exception was John Lennon on Mike Douglas, who performed live. Midnight Special was not daytime - Dumbass.
-
@stinkypants10 Midnight Special was always live - Poser

@frizzlefrap and Pryor sounding the most bored i've every heard him...interesting gig for him!
-
The biggest thing i am surprised by here is...that they allowed the epic length of this single performance...9 plus minutes! pretty cool....and also, some shows did full pre-recorded (including mimed / lip-synch) performances while others did pre-recorded backing tracks (band/music) with live vocals
-
@stinkypants10 it can't be a classic when you're lip synchin'.
-
@stinkypants10 , I think its interesting that even a band would be allowed to play for 9 minutes straight. No show could ever waste that much time anymore.
-
and most of the talk shows back then .... have all that jazz at beginning and end of show ........ that was the thing!
