The most absurd video...

[tobi777]

Hi all,

just stumbled upon this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxUrIjfzLdY

It is sad that it has become so common to have only a playback performance in a TV show so I don't like these appearances but I had a good laugh when I noticed Martin Ditcham pretended to play keyboards (and his movements did not even remotely resemble those of a real player)!!!

Why on earth did they hire an additional drummer and have Martin miming keyboards?

Hi Tobias,

real fun, indeed! I saw this video before, but did not notice! I am almost sure they did it for a laugh! The same with this On the Beach video from 08.09.1986 (Einsfestival Känguru), where Chris is miming playing bass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMwbzZxb1KE




best regards

WOW THEY LOOK SO YOUNG !!

how about the situtation when singer is singing on the background but the singer is not even pretending singing on the mic at that moment?? Saw once one tv-show where Chris started to sing about 3-4 seconds after his voice was already out there I don´t either like those tv-show performances where the band is not playing on live.

Hi Guys,

Toppop in the Nethrlands has a few akward ones too:
Max Middlton on guitar:

And another one the presenter quits the show forever and Chris was not informed.Everyone was partying and he tried to concentrate on singing Josephine. He mouths in between: What?. misses some lyrics and looks angry.
Hilarious:

And there was an English tv show, where he seemed to sleep, it was boring. He made some absurd tv.
