//Where do you get yr information? A lip sync performance clip from Old Grey Whistle Test or something?In my high school years in the 1970's, my older brother was really into the drugs and rebellion, and took me to 5 of their concerts. Everybody knew it was a ritual, it wasn't intended to be real music. Kind of like Rocky Horror Picture Show. I got wasted at the end of a couple of them.
The last concert I attended was in 1974. After like the third song, a small fire set off the alarm in the building, the band members stopped, but most of the music was still playing. It was kind of funny. When they resumed their act, the whole place erupted with applause. The fakery was part of the mystique.
He also took me to a couple Kiss concerts. Similar ritual, but it was a real band. Much bigger settings. We were never able to get Stones tix.
Around 1985, my brother gave away his punk albums to Goodwill after offering them to me, but I said no thanks. He never really was into music like I was. I play some jazz, and it's noise to him.
