Chad & Jeremy final show for 16 years, October 1987 daytime TV

English duo Chad & Jeremy perform together in an October 1987 daytime TV broadcast that turned out to be their last public appearance for the next 16 years. They had disbanded from around 1968 through a 1982 reunion and were just coming off a successful British Invasion oldies tour with Freddie and the Dreamers, Gerry and the Pacemakers, the Searchers, and the Mindbenders. After doing a two-week residency at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, they made this October 1987 TV appearance and then split up again. They didn't reunite for more recordings and concerts until the early 2000s.
BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded between from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on KZbin or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads.
In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper, who worked for a local cable TV production company in the 1980s, monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area.

[@seizethedayandlive]

I love this song to pieces but damn if it doesn't make me sad....

[@richardoberman3726]

One of my son's first favorite songs!!! ❤ He was 2 or 3 years old and would be singing along with it every time he heard it.

[@kathrynkberez]

My niece and nephew did that.. niece always ask Grandma to play Downtown on the Lowry organ.. Nephew would walk around the house singing Under Cover Angel😂😂. What a kid!! He was only 5 yrs old. We laughed so hard, go figure. It just must be the melody that catches childrens' attention. RIP, Ron. You're still my goofy little nephew. ❤

[@kimberlysmith579]

This is music, the kids today just don't understand💕

[@juanfrankazofeifagonzalez6583]

- Yes,Because They Believe Than World Beggin,When They Borned...~🤔🌌🎃

[@marcussirles2995]

That's my favorite from them!

[@jeynjohnston8085]

Still great ❤

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

Amazing, to hear them again! I loved them so very much as a young teen!

[@jimgray9169]

I first heard this song when Chad and Jeremy were on Batman.Time been good to them they even still have their hair.

[@kathrynkberez]

That was a favorite back in my late teens. Still lovely to hear that. Never cared for the hard rock; C&J were my type of music❤❤

[@mandarinlearner]

Theirs was the first album I ever bought

[@bufb]

Perfection

[@Nate-gh1hy]

BetaGems...One of my favorite duo & I just found one of their early album today in very good condition "Chad & Jeremy/I Don't Want To Lose You Baby" Columbia CL 2398.

[@maryanngdula8915]

They sound good because they are GOOD!

[@Pedroism]

It's a recording lip sync

[@allonszenfantsjones]

yeah, those of us who wore out our 45s of this song know a lip synch when we hear it🤪

[@andyinoregon]

These miming to the studio recording performances remind me of every episode of "American Bandstand" I ever watched. Even Steely Dan had to lip-synch to their record on ABS.

[@southernman22]

Soft kisses on a summer day

[@pallen49]

In the 60's the great duos were The Everly Brothers, Chad & Jeremy, Peter & Gordon, and Simon & Garfunkel., oh how bout Sonny & Cher? lol. I think that might be it...I can't think of any female duo tho?...But if you can think some, please feel free to add to the list lol.

[@Philip-x5u]

Pity they couldn't do it live. Great song though

[@angusmcpherson]

I think the people are cheated when they expect a live performance. You can hear the violin track and there are no violinists playing. Chad & Jeremy were fully capable of playing live, so this is a disappointment 😢

[@kevinlarkin2696]

What show was this, when and who was the introducer ..

[@betagemslostmedia607]

That was Lisa Hartman, an actress who also had a brief singing career, co-hosting an episode of Solid Gold called "Salute to the 60s."

[@johnholliday5874]

Should have let them play it live instead of lip-synching.

[@JamesDecker-cz4qt]

Chad and Jeremy didn't need a recording to make an impression. They had great music. To even imply they did this performance to a recording is ludicrous. Shame on you for even suggesting.

[@MythsScamsLies]

Lip sync alert. Were their guitars even plugged in?

[@kevinlarkin2696]

Acoustic..

[@GregSr]

Yep, I'm 100% sure that was the original studio recording. 😃

[@steveco360]

Never mind them, who was the babe?

[@betagemslostmedia607]

That's actress Lisa Hartman, who also had a brief music career.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Sounds like they are singing to the backing track to the original record, or possibly lip syncing.

[@essessessesq]

yes, the backing track is definitely from the record.....vocals, i'm not sure....if it is live singing, it sounds remarkably like the record.

[@AlexJMarra]

@@essessessesq You can tell it's lip-synched at around the 1:16 mark - Chad doesn't hold the high note but the record playing in the background does.

[@KingOFuh]

They are singing live to the studio recording, vocals and all. It beats lugging that orchestra around.

[@rickuyeda4818]

Lip syncing

[@terry7893]

Maybe they still sound as great as they did in 1964 because they're playing a recording? Nobody, but nobody is that good to record it perfectly like the record. Obviously a fake performance done to the recording.

[@daydreambeliever6603]

Everything was lip sync in those days. Still a very nice song and nice looking guys to watch.

[@iowa61]

Lip synch garbage. They didn’t have to do this; they sounded great-and continued to sound great until Chad’s death. Never understood why TV producers had groups do this. No reason for it.

[@jimringomartin]

Yeah. What is the point of lip syncing? Was cheezy back then and is now.

[@georgem5464]

And a terrible lip sync at that.

[@S955US84]

This is a song and performance with enduring appeal. Cannot think the same of any pop music in the last 10 years.
