The celtic fire bit (about 2 minutes in), has the holographic taped flute (oh, and the fiddlers are in leather now)

No youre more up to date than me. They did say what ever he had was dance threatening, but he was meant to be giving that up due to dodgey knees years ago. I'm just jealous of the fiddle floozeys, what we need are floot floozeys!! .... an floot fellahs for the gels as well of course!Loren wrote:Googling news reports shows he left the hospital Nov. 18th and the reports also said his condition prior to leaving the hospital wasn't life threatening.

if you watch closely around 4:20 and 4:40 it is pretty clear they are not playing live, there's a couple notes still playing when he';s already moved his mouth away from the flute.Here's the clip I watched; same thing but maybe slightly different timecode...

Some was some wasn't but the music was mostly live on the shows I worked on. The really odd thing was that the tap track of all the hoofers feet was pre recorded.
