For my money, one of the most obvious fake/backing tracks (apart from the bottle percussion on IN MY WORLD, that you hear SO clearly, yet no one plays) is on HOLD ME. The "Come on and" parts that Lindsey sings. They are incredibly LOUD, lower and clearer than everything else amongst the barrage of backing tracks. He "mouths" those words to the mic, but it's 100% obvoius that it's pre-recorded and he's just singing along to them for the audience's sake.

I have a feeling if we listened to these backing tracks WITHOUT the live band playing, they'd still feel pretty substantial and full. It's almost to the point where the LIVE musicians are filling out the backing tracks, not vice versa.
