I’ve been to back to back shows and sounded a little different talking through songs, etc. so I think I would’ve noticed it.

For accuracy, Fil didn’t use audio from the actual recording, he layered two live recordings from two separate shows months apart and showed they lined up identically, something humans can’t do, there’d always be some kind of variation, tempo, pitch, breath. Both tracks from two different ‘live’ performances matched up according to digital analysis.

These legacy acts have to just put it out there and let the fans decide . The fundamental change is today's bands record things without regard for if they can be performed live. I love A7X, but every song has strings, horns, keys, multi tracked guitars. All that stuff is on playback. Then they figure a track that syncs up videos and counts off the start of each song just makes the show flow easier. Compare that to Mastodon, who tour with a keyboardist so that stuff can also be played live. When these bands start to lose it, it's inevitable that more and more stuff will be on playback until the whole show is like listening to the record.

I've seen Fil's analysis, and I'm a musician myself, and I listened intently and watched while Fil did his analysis, and there's no doubt that Don is lip synching because it is not humanly possible to reproduce the same vocal line perfectly night after night or even in a recording studio where you have to do more than one pass vocally. It's time to stay at home and watch the Hell Freezes Over DVD people.

Save the Eagles, I've seen all the acts you mentioned, plus many more over the years (I'm in my 50s, and started attending rock concerts when I was 15). I wouldn't pay $0.01 to see the Eagles (or Henley solo) now, knowing that they're FRAUDSTERS. And that's the expanded crux of Eddie Trunk's point: As if the prohibitly high ducat prices weren't bad enough, some of these "legacy" acts aren't even ACTUALLY singing (and some not really playing their respective instruments). It needs to be called out every single time -- not tacitly supported -- because it's embarrassing, depressing, and PATHETIC. And it disincentives the Real ones to continue to be real in concert.

The answer is too damn much.

They have been doing this since the 90s. A friend of mine from recording school assisted on their live sound on the Hell Freezes Over tour. Back then all the backgrounds were on tape .. but they still sang the leads live.

I watched a recent clip of the Scorpions. The verses looked like he was singing. But once the chorus hit, the "Hear I Am! Rock me like a hurricane!" Was perfect and sounded exactly spot on like the original recording. It was quite obvious that he was singing the easier part but then once the hook started, it was a track.

Love the music of The Eagles. Have never been a fan of their personalities.

Todd Rundgren started live performing to a recorded track on Midnight Special in 1973. He sang and played piano to his "Hello It's Me", backing track, in which he played every single instrument. But, the hosts,(the Four Tops), announced that he was doing it. My stepfather was a band leader, and he often referred to bands pulling a "Cheap Trick", in the 60s, years before there was a band by that name. A cheap trick was using a backing track, or a stand in vocalist, backstage for vocals.

I would not go see a lip singer.

I made the Milli Vanilli comment last week! Perfect analogy.

Well said, Fans paying a hard earned dollar to hear a band noted for their vocal harmonies . Shocking Don Henley would attempt to fake the audience out by using recorded vocal’s. Don Henley is trying to crank out a payday in a deceptive manner. Bring back Don Felder, he can sing without recorded voice tapes. Glen and Henley implied Felder couldn’t sing his way out of a wet paper bag, at this point I guarantee you Felder wouldn’t have to cheat.

Totally agree! Backing vocal tracks are not “enhancements” they are substitutions” which is fraud!

SCORPIONS are all SOLID dudes.....

I TOO WAS SHOCKED WHEN I HEARD THIS. THE REASON, DON HENLEY WAS TOO GOOD TO EVER HAVE TO RESORT TO SUCH FRAUD. I"M STILL BLOWN AWAY.

Great points Eddie!!! Eddie and the tracks do it in some sort of version like an opening band! Thank you Eddie and by the way Slave Raider is having their first fan fest rock is still alive!!

Just seen Fil ( wings of Pegasus) talk about this the other day .

What really pisses me off is the ridiculous prices they charge for tickets then give a fake performance!!!! I can perfectly understand at a certain age people are going to eventually start losing their voice and I'd never hate on anybody for that but when they purposely lie and hide it to rip people off that's when I draw the line, if they just admitted it I think they would get much more respect and people would still go to their concerts!?!?!

I saw the Eagles in 2003, and it was probably a too-perfect show. I don't know if any lip synching was going on then. I hope not. Best live show I've seen to date.

I haven't been to a concert in 4 years that was Disturbed...I saw Kiss in 2016 and could tell something was wrong because Paul sounded like the records from the 70's and 80's. I will never pay for a band that calls it a live performance and they are lip syncing, I'd rather sit at home and listen to the CDs and have a few beers and save a crap load of money. And who can afford to pay for concert tickets today anyway?

If it's advertised as a live show and you get lip sync, start a class action lawsuit and everyone get their money back. Just one conviction will fix the whole scam! It truly is false advertising right there.

Thanks for shedding some light on this, and if true, sue the pants off Henley & his cronies.

Pretty incredible. Hell, I remember Letterman making a big joke about not being ‘allowed’ to perform Eagles tracks on the show! This was in the 90’s!

Thanks for rolling on this and posting it in the FB group. I'm behind on shows and would've missed it if they don't restore it. I'm sure it was related to a strongly worded or thusly implied letter.

Great talk Eddie! I'm subscribing!

Boomers ( I am one) have the money to see the bands of their youth and greedy promoters , agents and bands get away with with gouging their audience for as much as they can get . And we put up with it . I refuse to to be screwed.For some acts , good seats are well over 1,000$. Listen to the records. Even they are so over produced that playing them live is next to impossible.

Unreal. Lost all respect for Don Henley and gained respect for Jon Bon Jovi.

Bon Jovi diehard fan here. Sorry to bring you down. Bon Jovi used vocal tracks too at different eras.

Way back in the day, I had seen The Who on one of their farewell tours. I was disappointed to see so many musicians on the stage to play the instruments for the songs. I was hoping for just the four of them. But looking back, at least everything was live.

The Who have been The Two for more than 20 years now.

You are preaching truth Eddie.

I realize Pablo Cruise may not be your thing, but they did exactly what Eddie describes. They hired a lead singer (Robbie Wyckoff), but David Jenkins is still there, playing guitar and occasionally singing, not trying to hide the fact that at 75 years old it’s not so easy anymore, and not pretending that Robbie was in the band when they recorded their hits. It’s very respectful to the music and the crowd loved it.

How the mighty have fallen! I have never been so disappointed, then when I saw the footage of this.

It'd be great for Eddie or someone to start compiling a list of "track bands". This way, we'll all know who to avoid and not waste our money on..

'Eddie and the Tracks' LOL

I pictured this: Have an announcer hype up an act in a packed arena, "for the first time ever sharing a stage, The Eagles, KISS, Motley Crue, Ashlee Simpson, Beyonce and Britney Spears!" Then have the curtain roll back to reveal a small stool. Then a roadie walks in, places a small boombox on it, presses play and walks off.

This was terrific. Thanks Eddie Trunk!

Mojo Nixon tried to warn us all way back in 1990, when he released his song "Don Henley Must Die"......

Working backstage I can’t tell you how many acts don’t care . The young ones are the worst. Questioned the tour manager of a band about how obvious it was they were singing to a track and the fans paid for a live show. He never denied it just says takes the pressure off the band 😮

Awesome, thank you! Please post everything about Eddie 😊

There was a time that I only followed local bands... Only after hearing live performances, I got the recorded disc. I ended up missing the nuances of the live settings. There are times that LIVE is so much better that the , sometimes over produced recorded material! I learned to LOVE live performances! Come down from your high fences.. DON!

One more point...this Problem needs to go VIRAL and a BIG Player needs to take the fall so the Fans can get an Honest Live Performance that they are willing to pay for...not this SCAM that never seems to end! 💪

Do the other members of the band need the money that bad? Why would they participate in this sham? Also i saw the Zombies in concert last November they were great, sometimes they sounded like 70 year olds singing together but it was real and quite moving for what it was. They really earn the money.

I'm sure the rest of the band needs the money since Don & Glenn have always taken the lions share. With Glenn dead, it's all Henley's & even that isn't enough for him, so he rips off the fans. What a guy.

Ray, you make a great point about older singers getting a new singer. Brian Wilson did that in his touring band. In fact, it took like three guys to sing his parts, including Jeff Foskett.

That was a fantastic rant Eddie. I couldn’t agree more. Sad state of affairs.
