To be fair nearly all of TOTP was mimed. If I remember correctly the early shows didn't even have the original music but used the BBC orchestra. I think for Musician's Union reasons. I was horrified to learn a few years ago that some of The Old Grey Whistle Test was fakery too, although the percentage of proper live music was much higher. When I was younger I had much more respect for OGWT because it had cool music and was (apparently, and mostly) live. The acts that mimed (e.g. The Rolling Stones) was more due to the bands not trusting that the Beeb would do justice to their sound. Although I might be being too generous. I knew someone who went on TOTP as part of the audience. They had tiny audiences they moved between the stages. If they'd zoomed out the studio would be pretty empty. So, as far as TV music was concerned, maybe not high tech alterations but certainly a few low tech ones. Most of the rock bands that appeared were miming to music they played on tour so, quite often, although not plugged in (or in the case of drums, miked up) they would still play what they'd normally play. Problem was the directors would always without fail misread what was going on and cut to the wrong camera. It was almost perverse how they managed to get it wrong every time. So if you were trying to cop what the guitarist was actually doing (silently) you would be out of luck. latter bands (especially US ones who didn't get the point of miming or ones who'd already made it) would parody the show they were on doing guitar sols with saxophones etc. My favourite one was when The Eels went on to do Novocaine For The Soul with the drummer behind a tiny kids drum kit. next to the drums is a marshall stack. Eight inches high. And the bass player and guitarist have alternate genuine or toy sized instruments. So the Beeb were conplicit in the joke. So funny. Bands like Madness and ShawaddyWaddy (however that's spelled) would also ham it up quite a bit.
@littlefluffybushbaby72569 ай бұрын
Oops. I re-watched The Eels and it's toys all the way. The Beeb still had to be complicit though. By 1997 even they didn't take themselve too serioulsy.

@@littlefluffybushbaby7256 These guys were definitely not miming. If they were, they had to re-record the song, because this is not the arrangement they recorded and released. Way too much work.
@littlefluffybushbaby72563 ай бұрын
@@beenaplumber8379 I agree. I play drums, bass and guitar and everything matched up (e.g. HiHat, fills, cymbals). Drummers rarely do the exact same thing so that''s usually a give away. The harmonic on the guitar was not there when visually not there and the solo looked like the right thing. They also had a Marshall Amp just off stage and they were also all plugged in. I was more talking about TOTP rather than the Climax Blues Band, who I saw live many moons ago and were excellent. But TOTP started out not allowing the bands to actually play their own songs and used the TOTP orchestra with a newly recorded vocal track. I think because of Musicians Union limitations (i.e. recordings putting musicians out of work). They moved on to having most (not all) bands playing to their own songs often not even bothering to plug the guitars in. You'd hear horns that weren't there and second guitar parts with only one guitarist, and maybe the drummer would only have half his kit. It wasn't the bands decision. The bands had been playing their hit songs at hundreds of gigs so were fully capable of doing it (guitar bands at least) and they quite often played what they would have played even though not plugged in. It would be harder not to. One of the reasons I think was it's hard to get the sound right for a live band and TOTP was put out weekly with little foreknowledge of who they'd get. It was chart-based and the band had to be available. I found a youtube of the 1970's band "Free" on TOTP and, even though the main riff was recorded with at least two guitars (that's why it doesn't sound quite right when cover bands do it), I could still see Kossoff was playing one part of the riff and using upstrokes which filled in a piece of the puzzle for that riff. But he wasn't plugged in. He was just playing what he normally played when gigging. I was horrified to learn that even on the Old Grey Whistle Test some bands where not playing live, although most were, which is why it was better than TOTP. So, in short, I was definitely not taking a pop at The Climax Blues Band, but at the show itself, which was more often akin to a band karaoke than a true live performance. It was not unusual to see some bands taking the piss and miming to the guitar solo on saxophone or a toy guitar. When Eels did it, their drummer used a childs drum kit. Hillarious.
@beenaplumber83793 ай бұрын
@@littlefluffybushbaby7256 I get it. I re-read your first comment, and I misunderstood. I thought you were having a go at the extraordinary Climax Blues Band. (I say that because over here in the US they were a one-hit-wonder with Couldn't Get It Right until 1980 when they charted with I love You. I thought they were just some pop band. I've only now discovered what I've been missing!) Uh, sorry this got so long! OGWT & TOTP sound like The Midnight Special and American Bandstand here. Midnight Special was mostly live, and I think Bandstand was entirely pre-recorded lip synch. I learned one additional reason some networks and programmers insisted on miming the performance - they wanted to be absolutely sure the vocalists wouldn't violate their S&P (standards & practices) rules about language or content, like Jim Morrison did when The Doors played live on Ed Sullivan. I think another downside of playing live on TV is that you're at the mercy of TV sound people who might know nothing about how to make live music sound good. I've seen performances that were clearly live but one of the guitars was faded so low you couldn't hear their solo, and they might try to use TV mics on your guitar cabs, etc. I play bass, and my band did a half-hour music set for a tiny weekly local TV program in Minneapolis. (That's no boast - any local band could get in line for a date on that show for no pay; our date was in January 1996, and we broke up 3 months later.) We put on a great show, but the sound was atrocious! We had a bandleader whose name was part of the band's name, so everything was focused on him, as it should be, but his (rhythm) guitar was cranked!!! And it sounded incredibly screechy. (Awful preamps on the TV sound board? They used their own mics on the guitars, and I have no idea what they were.) Our lead guitarist sounded good, but he was kinda drowning under the rhythm guitar. My bass was predictably almost inaudible, though my tone was good in the mix. (I went direct from my rack into the board.) There was no reverb or compression on anything. I suspect there were similar limitations on OGWT. On most clips I've seen from that show the vocalists are singing into 2 mics taped together. During one performance by Lynyrd Skynyrd, I had the impression Ronny (lead vox) was favoring the mic he heard in his monitor, which was not the mic used for the TV mix. The level was low and inconsistent, though Ronny was a very experienced vocalist. I had the impression the band's sound guy wasn't involved. The Midnight Special always had a pretty decent mix though. I don't know if they had talented house staff that only did music or if the band's regular sound people were involved, but it was always quite good. Ok, some of the vocal mics occasionally clipped, but that's ok. That just meant it really was live! Sorry this got kinda long... Talking music with a musician is something I miss. I've only played one gig since COVID, and my tired old back still hurts from that! Rocque on!

There is also a valid reason why we cling to this era regarding the music. It was so important to us with the few distractions of entertainment available to us at that time and as far as our working lives were concerned, there was no free ride. It was a far more disciplined time with no technology to aid us and as Rose tinted our glasses might be, if we were returned to that time there's a fair few from this current generation that might well curl up into a foetal position. Music was such an important escape back then it had more relevance in my humble opinion.

AWESOME SONG AND GROUP!!!!! 2021 STILL LISTENING... What was so freaking awesome back in the day, without noticing then, was the fact that, " We All Got Along '!!! No racist crap! Now, it's just sad. Everyone is for ONLY themselves! A certain age group has destroyed everything. It's heartbreaking! 💔😡 music is all that is left except for the memories in our heads. God Bless you and good luck... you're gonna need it!

One of the best songs to come out of the 70’s. When I hear this I think of “So Into You” by Atlanta Rhythm Section & “Moonlight Feels Right” by Starbuck. Still love all three.

+Phil Porter Indeed, Phil...back in the day when AutoTune and ProTools were someone's nightmare concept. It's so freakin' fun to watch musicans play real musicians. I really took it all for granted back in the day. As a drummer, I had to really know my meters and such in order to keep a job. Today, it's "No Experience Necessary." And by the way, I see Kanye West, the greatest fraud of them all, one more time, I am going to have to assassinate something!

there’s so much I can say about these musicians playing real music back then! I would literally run out of space and run out of breath talking about how real and how amazing it was to have humans actually playing instruments and actually singing. This is one of my favorite songs by the way!

Back then, black music and white music both had more soul and the message which reflected that soul. The mood of the music always matched the message. And the message always reflected a soul that was more gentle and slow to base emotions because in those days people generally, with some exceptions, had a stronger sense of redeeming values. Not so anymore. The parents of relatively more recent generations had parents who compromised those values due to bad lifestyle choices and just bad choices in the means they chose to support themselves and their families. It is as much for reasons of not taking personal responsibility as it is for economic reasons that all of this has happened the way it has. And now we have a generation that is lost and no way to seek recourse. And with Covid-19 always looming over our heads, it only diminishes opportunity and the possibility to take responsibility while also taking away the liberty so necessary to learn not to take things for granted anymore. The Covid-19 and all of the lockdowns and extensions are as much a politicized hoax as the virus itself is real.

I saw these guys in the mid 70s in Stafford, their home town, at a charity gig to save a local Hotel from demolition. Couldn't Get It Right was in the charts and the atmosphere at the night club, Th Top Of The World, was electric! The place was absolutely heaving, with no restrictions on numbers in those days and no air con either! I've been to many a concert over the years and it was probably the best I'd been to for enjoyment and I'm sure the band must have felt the same. Needless to say the building was saved and is there to this day. Thank you fellas.
