Not bad for an old guy. He should keep off the pies though. Miming and vocal support are commonplace in live performance I'm afraid. It disguises weak singers and helps artists preserve their voices. I'm sure even proper singers like Celine Dion use tapes to have a few nights off when they do long tours or residencies.

I agree about the miming. I've noticed now that lots of performers now combine a very loud backing track and vocals with their own performance. Technically they're live but you're not really getting a full live show. I'd prefer an average live performance to that really.
