Dave James Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 This has to have been very early in their careers. I'm guessing they feel even stiffer than they look. One other thing. Performing without your instruments, when you're used to having them, even if it's just a prop for lip synching purposes, is like trying to play hockey without a stick. Up over and out.

papsrus Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Fortunately, tremendous advances have been made in lip-syncing over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 My guess is that they were all busy thinking about how Murray was back stage with a two-by-four ready to beat Brian's ass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Pomea Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) You haven't seen stiff stage presence until you see one of those old Cajun bands! Catch him around 1:10!

Ted O'Reilly Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I saw Dee Dee Bridgewater at the Bern Jazz Festival in Switzerland in 1987. I had never witnessed anyone so awkward and out-of-place in my life. Stage-fright-scared (it seemed), giggling, fidgety, wearing ordinary street clothes, carrying on with in-talk with her trio and guest Jon Faddis to the exclusion of the audience (which of course understood only half of what she said anyway), she made NO effort to connect with the audience. Someone must have taken hold of her career and straightened out her stagecraft, because the next time there in 1989, she was dressed in skin-tight black leather, prowling the stage like a wildcat and had the crowd in the palm of her hand. It was almost TOO slick, but boy! was it different... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Pomea Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) Well, here's Pee Wee looking like Uncle Junior and singing! Waltz for Everybody (or the Whole World's Waltz) These are from a television studio program in 1985, hence the cowboy shirts etc. The singer's style looks a lot like my older brother's, with the greaser hair and all.

Well, everyone's gotta learn, and Dee Dee learned between 1987 and 1989, as I said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but if this is a reference to my post above yours, I'm confused (as usual). Forgive my ignorance, but Brian who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
