Lou... open your ears and eyes and carefully watch the replay on
YouTube... Yes, the backing tracks were recorded as the lights and
backing keyboard parts (and backing vocals) were synced, but
discriminating musicians can absolutely tell that the lead vocals (and
Townsend's vocals) along with the guitar and drums were live.

There are backups of these tracks in case of disaster, but they use
the live feeds when possible.

That said... The drumming was excellent... (again, watch and listen
and you can tell its live)...

And by the way, most of us realize that reality tv is not reality...
(except for maybe my wife)...
