Dance Silver Springs -- Dub?

I'm watching Silver Springs on The Dance... I always thought something looked fishy, but now I'm positive that some of it's an overdub, since I've figured it out myself. It's easier to tell as a pianist, but look at what Christine is playing at the beginning compared to what you hear...

Some of the chords she is shown playing are actually not what is heard (playing low chords, but you hear them high), and some of it doesn't even line up at all.

I know The Dance was filmed/recorded so they could overdub, but this just proves one instance where it was done... and I wasn't tricked!

Alex you are so right. What she plays is totally different to what you hear, at least from what is shown of her playing in the intro. It may just have been a levels thing, but I think that what she played live was a bit clunkier than the lovely intro you actually hear. Meanwhile it suits me how The Dance was all scrubbed up and overdubbed (to an extent) ...it just sounds so damn good!

Yeah, I've always noticed this too. Christine seems so *nervous* in that bit, almost like she doesn't quite know where to put her hands. They almost seem to be shaking.
So yeah, I think we're lucky this bit was overdubbed.

Well, I'm either assuming that it's a dub, or they just put the shot in the wrong place. Once I learn that opening better, I should be able to tell :P.

I'm also going to check the Rhiannon intro more carefully.

I've also noticed other things, like how the audio levels are completely different on the DVD than the CD.

Take "You Make Loving Fun" for example. You can heard her Rhodes parts much more clearly than on the CD, and you can hardly hear the second keyboard.

What's most dissatisfying is that since they don't show her playing that killer piano solo on Don't Stop, that was probably dubbed in too...

Durring the chain, right after Lindsey's solo kicks in and he's about to start the "Chains keep us together" bit, he puts his face up to the mic and screams something, like a "yeah yeah yeah" or the like (as he frequently does) but alas, nothing is heard, which is impossible because its directly shouted into the mic. So, obviously, another edit there.

Personally, I'd rather it sound bad but have it be the ORIGINAL and the REAL band playing live!

Oh well.

I agree that it's dissatisfying that it doesn't show her playing it. It was totally drowned out by the brass band for most of it until that little solo. It seems as overdubbed as it gets, because of the pronounced fidelity and highered volume level creating a sort of 'isolated' aka studio sound. Also as you say it doesn't show her playing a note of it. But she was definitely jamming to some extent atthe concert because she puts her head down and concentrates for that bit.
