I have the DVD of Taras Shevchenko, with the New York 1981 concert which I think is fantastic and possibly the only music video by anyone I have watched more than twice!
Anyway, also on my DVD is Reading 98. As I watched it once I couldn't help feeling all the vocals, except for Barney's frequent 'whoops', seemed almost too perfect, too studio-like. Too, ahem, mimed! Can't be that I thought, I must be imagining it.
Fast forward to Hooky's recent book on his New Order days and there's a bit in it about some new PA being used and how he complained "we would be essentially miming".
Anyone shed any light on this....
