[edit] Sound issues
The sound on this album has led to accusations of the band Lip synching, as did the earlier video from which this cd was taken. However it has come to light that the sound used on the television broadcast of the Out of the Blue concert in 1978 was a poorly mixed effort in mono that used a lot of the backing tapes that were used admittedly by the band due to sound problems caused by the huge metal and fiberglass stage set. The tapes were for the bands ears only, to help them keep time and should not have been heard by the audience. [1]
