[@icdgyixify]

In Eastleigh, Hants, they have named a road after him. Not far from Benny Hill Close.

[@jasonbrown9731]

I was born at 12 Shakespeare road.

[@garrywood5345]

@flint the kaka harris Heinz...logo 57...Sadly The Age Heinz died.

[@sirrobin.63]

@TheBrabon1 bit cruel … ( but I like it! )

[@andy6576]

@TheBrabon1 He didn't die of Aids, he dies after suffering a massive stroke, you clueless twat.

[@junelloyd2263]

I saw him there too every night for two weeks as his guest. He was backed by the Wild Boys of which one was Richie Blackmore.

[@npc3po301]

Clapping on the 1 and 3.. definitely Germany lol

[@davidstapley7203]

So sad how he died. Mnd

[@davidthelimey]

What a great rare clip of Heinz in his later years!

[@davidthelimey]

Yes- not good miming but just a rare late clip. He wasn't well by then but guess he was glad to have a bit more fame and a bit of money......Never was a great talent but his looks got him through. Fickle pop music biz- lol

[@arthursteven5601]

@@davidthelimey he was handsome man

[@johnmerrall2235]

Fantastic, thanks for sharing.

[@draxlerchronicles5851]

Miming to a song recorded about 30 years previously? Soooo convincing! 🙄

[@arthursteven5601]

Still it was interesting to see him years later on tv lol

[@jrgboy]

He doesn't look well, he did die of MND...

[@junelloyd2263]

You would mime too if you had MND ....your so rude.

[@howardellismusic]

and the sad thing is..the audience don't know

[@silvo-sings]

Its a pity the TV - channel 4 or someone dont do a revisit on Joe Meek and cover more about Heinz... I agree he was limited but he seems an interesting character.

[@DCDPM]

They already made a movie

[@junelloyd2263]

They made a bio of Joe Meek, didn't show either of them in a good way. They should of made it on facts not rumours or speculation. I knew Heinz personally for many years, he was a very quiet unassuming man areal gentleman.

[@stefanwohlke7502]

From the German TV show "Oldie Parade".

[@larrylewis5721]

Just offering a piece of weird personal trivia, here....and it's not directly related to Heinz's appearance on this show. In the background of the set here can be seen an image of a security guard, casually seated. This is a direct cop (pun intended) of the cover of Moby Grape's 1969 album, "Truly Fine Citizen." The original shot was taken at the rear entry of Columbia Records' recording studio in Nashville, where MG's album was made. In 1970, I toured the studios, as part of a bus tour. The bus parked in the lot behind the building and we'd used this same access point. Already owning the album, then, I grabbed a similar folding chair and my dad took a photo of me, duplicating the pose, in the same spot. Imagine my surprise today, in seeing this image behind Heinz Burt. Great song, btw.

[@petertoomey5857]

Bizarre....and no Ritchie Blackmore guest appearance. What would Joe M have said

[@allasaurous2738]

nice to see this😊

[@robertlloydsite]

He was so famous they named a tin of baked beans after him.

[@arthursteven5601]

Hahaha good one lol

[@3521rob]

There was 57 varieties

[@stephaniem5091]

That's some very bad miming! Pretty good at 'Air guitar' though...lol

[@lha3954]

What happened to the New Joe Meek documentary that was coming out a few years ago never heard anymore just saw a few clips

[@dazzasp3]

Me dad liked this 👍🏼

[@mrforevernever517]

He never touched those guitar strings.

[@robbradford6670]

Agree that this was poorly mimed. Heinz certainly was not a great vocalist. Joe Meek had top musicians (eg Ritchie Blackmore) backing him and spent a lot of time, effort and money on the arrangements of his recordings - commercially to no great avail on the whole. I actually saw Heinz live onstage several times during the 1980s and 1990s. His actual voice was awful and totally shot. Yet, it somehow didn't matter. He was part of shows featuring the likes of Mike Berry, Billie Davis, Jet Harris and the Rapiers. Physically, Heinz looked good and his stagecraft was excellent. He had superb groups behind him blasting through R'n'R classics. Audiences (unlike many of those shows mentioned from the 1960s) actually loved him!

[@cryo115]

"Yet, it somehow didn't matter" Meek was In love with him.

[@deanjoshea]

Soo bad it’s good lol 😂

[@tixxstixx]

What year was this?

[@midiwa]

It's from the German TV show "OPA - Oldie-Parade" that aired from 1992 to 1997.

[@howardellismusic]

I hate it when people use guitars as props

[@glengamble526]

[@steveblease]

Why mime to it

[@michaelconway3855]

Live is the wrong heading, he maybe there but is only miming !!!

[@DeanoEssex]

As explained in the description..

[@AndyMangele]

Calling this "live" is a bit of a stretch! 🤣

[@DeanoEssex]

Indeed 🙂

[@djgaryowens]

Scam he isnt playing or singing a damn thing this is Beyonce's kind of thing.

[@adrinathegreat3095]

You want to hear what he really sounded like check out his 1972 love version of c'mon everybody from 1972, it's pretty dire. His records were overdubbed due to him being a very limited singer. What's interesting is how he managed to have a few hits appear as the lead in a film and carve a career out of it. He was also the bass player in the tornadoes but unsure if he played on their recordings

[@TheWGLOVER]

@@EBC154 A extra bass was added as Heinz couldn’t play.

[@king77703]

Wait till Paul McCartney dies, it will blow your minds 👍

[@briangoguen8547]

Definetly lipsincing.

[@brighteyes8474]

Atrocious for what it really means. Sad.

[@andy6576]

Could you try that sentence again, but this time actually make SENSE?

[@barryrudge1576]

The Tornado's were a group of sessions players who were formed around Heinz Burt as a vehicle to push him into the pop charts. His ability to play a base guitar was limited and it is questionable whether he actually played on the recording of Telstar. Joe Meek removed him from the Tornado's and tried him on vocals but his voice was very weak. He had one hit only "Just Like Eddy" and on most recordings his vain behaviour is very cringe worthy. As for this appearance of a middle aged old pop singer lip-syncing to his own recording of when he was a teenager just doesn't sit right. He was the same age as myself and back in the day I was a big fan but controversy surrounded both him and the demise of his manager

[@heraldeventsandfilms5970]

Says a homophobic fucking nobody on the internet.

[@martindavies4155]

He got on telly singing his hit . You ??? And it’s bass btw ..not fuckin base

[@heraldeventsandfilms5970]

@@martindavies4155 Good Martin. aye. Fucking nobodies on the internet eh?

[@Steven_Rowe]

The fact there was controversy doesn't change anything does it. Backing he 60s I liked songs because of the song I didn't concern my self or indeed know about the sordid personal life of singer's or bands.

[@The_Hoxton_Hipster]

Surprisingly catchy I like the percussion

Lip-syncing...too bad...

[@plainoldmetoo]

I remember this guy wasnt he in ferry across the mersey

No... That was Gerry Marsden from Gerry And The Pacemakers.

[@davidthelimey]

No- not Gerry (of Pacemakers) but Heinz Burt of the Tornados. Check out the Joe Meek story plus my webpage at: www.davidstjohn.co.uk/heinz.html

No such band

[@king77703]

@@davidthelimey The Tornadoes had a massive hit in America with Telstar, the first British single to top the US charts, also they had a stint as Billy Fury's backing band.

[@lifeinrussia1991]

Pity he couldn't even be bothered to mime in time with the song - no excuses, it was his own song & he should've known it inside out - yet another con artist!

[@D-777i]

You do know he was in poor health by this point?

[@lifeinrussia1991]

He obviously felt well enough to take the pay cheque offered to him for his performance. His state of health had no effect on his lack of concern for the credibility of his performance and for short-changing his fans and the organisation paying him. Are you saying that a deterioration in health is a good reason for a deterioration in personal standards and moral obligations? I am fed up with seeing these so-called stars ripping off those that gave them their fame and success by miming their performances. Whatever the state of his health, it still makes him a con artist.

[@D-777i]

@@lifeinrussia1991 That's really understanding and compassionate of you. I hope you don't consider yourself a fan of his.

[@lifeinrussia1991]

@@D-777i - Definitely not - I enjoy music by real stars who respect their fans and don't treat them as fools. I have read reports from the 1960s, many, many years before he was unwell which criticised him for poor live vocal performances on stage and, at worst, for miming at supposedly live concerts. Looks like he made a career out of deception and taking advantage of people who supported him!

[@LifeinRussia-me8yd]

I agree with you. Shameful performance

[@countbelalucozade]

Embarrassingly awful.
