Altec Sighting in Vintage Video

[voice of the theater]

Great clips--thanks for sharing! Cool to see that two of my favorite bands (The Who, The Beatles) used the classic Altecs we all know and love. I wonder if the lack of audience enthusiasm (besides all of the good points listed above) also has something to do with the fact that the band are lip syncing and "miming" to the studio recording of these songs--the audio is clearly the studio recording and not live audio. Lip syncing/miming to the original studio recording wasn't an uncommon practice on these types of shows in the 60's. I have DVD's of other 60's bands (like the Moody Blues for example) on shows like this one lip syncing/miming to studio recordings in front of a live audience. BTW, this isn't always the case when you see a live clip with studio audio. Sometimes the live audio recording (sound quality) was so poor that whoever posted the clip replaced the original clip's live audio with the studio recording of the same song and synced them up with a computer program that constantly speeds up and or slows down the video footage to keep it more or less in sync with the studio audio version that was used to replace the original live audio......

By the way, I love the Who album/compilation "Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy" that contains the studio version of all three of these songs and lots more great stuff--highly recommended......
