It's not live. It's the original recording.

@kevinandrewmoore - Kev, thanks so much for the insightful feedback! ... that clearly puts a different perspective about the actual circumstances. Keep gigin' (I'm a part-time musician too ;-)

@southbayphotos Sometimes the decision is out of your hands. The TV company, ZDF, wanted this from every artist that day. There were around 30 acts if I remember correctly, ranging from Tony Sheridan, thru to Mungo Jerry, Desmond Decker etc. The logistics of mixing each band for a rapid-fire live TV show with one days rehearsal for camera positions, meant this was the only viable option. There are other vids here on Youtube, where we were on with one act, and we had the luxury of playing live!

Hey Jeff ,
Come to The US !

Fantastic song by Christie! Still have it on '45'.
But how offensive it is to me that some musicians/artists give "live" performances and society tolerates or even welcomes it, where the music is dubbed! I would never want to go to a dubbed concert.

This video is magnificant. It helps if your a musician to really appreciate the dynamics of this masterpiece. The drummer is A+! His rolls and technical achievements on this song are stunning. No one drums like that today!
The guitars are another story! After 38 years it doesn't lose a bit of it's force and it would be hard if not impossible for anyone today to put together something as
artistic as this. My uncle Joe called guys
like this "magicians" and I think he was right on! Kenn Wingle
