Love those boys. They're coming to "Rock Stock" at Saints' Stadium in a few weeks. This is a hilarious lip sync. It's amazing how the fellas can keep their cool even on ridiculous gigs like this.
Rick was ahead of the curve here. He is joking around and jumping and acting crazy while Robin and Tom are so serious about doing the lip-sincing thing so well lol. This was a joke and Rick knew it.
I like how he covers his face in the beginning because he doesn't know exactly where the vocal is going to come in. So he keeps his face covered until the vocal starts, then slowly exposes his face. Smart. Lip Synching on TV shows must have sucked...
Hahaha, the lipsinc thing is so funny. I am wondering why this was so popular in the 80s. I heard that many TV shows required the bands to lipsinc and use a playback, even if the bands wanted to play live.
i just saw cheap trick at van andel arena in grand rapids, great show, but poor mixing, the most noticable you couldn't hear rick nielsons guitar solo in "i want you to want me"
