Yeah this is definitely lip-synched, the best proof is the fact that Bernie Torme left the band before this and Gers didn't join until after, yet you can still hear bass and guitar. Now McCoy is playing the solo's in the video, but you still hear the bass being played, and that isn't the Colin Townes Organ playing bass while McCoy shreds, this is without a doubt the studio version. What probably happened was is they actually played live, and later when the Top Of The Pops footage was released for TV, they probably replaced the live audio with the studio version of No Laughing In Heaven.

No rooms full of laughter in Hell either.. No blissful laughter anyway. Not for bad eggs in any case. Veruca Salt went down to an incinerator also, remember? I'd rather get Heaven and Hell to agree if I can, that I follow cutie's death cab into the dark, whoever he or she is (in my own eyes, of course)? <3 ACMusic7 or Austin's cover of this song. Singing in the dark, imagination.. Our own in-between Magical World. No praying, No burning desire. Just our will and way of true freedom and CHOICE..

This is by far his best, funniest version of this song. Some of his performances are longer - but this one is just right.

Ian seems a bit nonplussed to be there. I'm guessing he's not crazy about lip-synching. Can't say as I blame him. Those shows are awful.

@Flaminqogaming Yes, I was looking for Bernie! This must be around the time he didn't show up at the airport to go to the States for concerts (I think). Supposedly a mixup, but Gillan let him go and hired ? Have all this info in his autobiography but would have to look it up - members of these bands changed so often lol. All talented. Love Colin Towns on keyboard. He really developed over the years.
