One thing, Alyn --

There is "technical expertise" all OVER that performance.

I think you may be trying to refer to use of modern digital editing, effects, etc. here, which were not really available yet.

But as to Technical Expertise, it is evident in the musicians, it is evident in the audio, it is evident in the camera work, in the set, the gaffer, the direction, in everything, actually, given the time it was made it is stellar enough.

Having worked behind the scenes in that kind of situation, believe me, the minutest detail missed can spell KILL.

Or, as they used to like to tell tech people back in the day, "You will never work in this town again..."

BTW - Sounds like they are overdubbing a studio cut there, my ears detect mic proximity on the vocals and there aren't any mics near enough to the singers to do that. One other clue to that are the huge Spash/Crash cymbals I'm hearing while the cymbals I'm watching never move.

But still, a great job at doing that as well, which was common to do in that era of TV production.
