    I am so grateful to the people involved in making this channel happen. I have seen so many performances that I never thought I'd see again, after first watching this show when I was far too young to be up so late watching them.

    • @punklyrics1
      @punklyrics1 Рік тому +1

      This may be a live performance, but there is still heavy audio engineering involved, as you the listener are listening to a compressed and cleaned up version. In a studio a lot of the tracks, one of the band members may be off key or off time with an instrument, and the engineer blends it so everything is on key and on time. Also a lot of famous artists from the 70s and 80s used autotune, its just added to blend the sound of the voice better to the track than to distort. Modern music intentionally has a robotic sound to it, but autotune can be insanely subtle and to an average listener unnoticeable

    • @nicklongo2939
      @nicklongo2939 Рік тому +7

      @@punklyrics1 Well no autotune is a digital technology that wasn't developed in until the 1990's. There was no digital signal procesing in the 1970's until the mid 1980's. What you are referring to are tape techniques done using manual adjustments. There was no automation until the late 1970s when major label recording studios installed automated mixing boards with motors that could move the sliders and multiple synchronized tape decks with variable speed controls. I'm pretty sure a weekly TV show taped live did not have the post-production budget for such efforts, although I wasn't on that set. You're thinking of studio produced LPs by bands like The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac.

    Loved this show growing up, cuz they always played live! Even at 9-10 years old, I always liked the live performances better, and there actually weren;t too many opportunities for bands to get on live TV. That's why you see clips of Bowie on the freaking Dinah Shore show, and John Lennon or Frank Zappa on Mike Douglas! And then came MTV!
