It was not lip-synced, at least as far as I can tell. The guitars do have cords connected. The sound is not like the commercial recording at all. It is definitely a live performance. When the camera moves in towards Ringo, the drums get louder and all else gets softer. It is real. I've had the "Ready Steady Go" video of their 1964 British performance, since 1985, and it is definitely lip-synced. Ringo botches the entrance on "I Wanna Be Your Man" and makes it too obvious. Also, John missed a lead vocal in "Shout" which gives it away as well. This Ed Sullivan video has no evidence of such. In "Help", John sings the wrong lyric for the second verse, with Paul and George eventually adjusting to his mistake. Of course, one could argue that that in itself could have been staged, just to make it look "live". An active imagination can assume anything. I'll view this video some more this weekend. I doubt that I'll find any evidence of fakery. I've had "The Beatles First U.S. Visit" video since 1990, which featured most of the Beatles' Sullivan performances (Beatles only, not the rest of the show). I've looked for evidence of fakery since 1990, and have yet to find any. No one as far as I know has ever pointed one out. I know one thing. Mitzi Gaynor's charm is real. Best regards.
