Romeo Void 1984 late night TV performance

Romeo Void in a 1984 late night TV performance. Singer Debora Lyall kindly posted a comment for this video with data about how the live performance (no lip-synch or prerecorded tracks) was taped. "This was filmed in the afternoon at the Improv in Hollywood. I remember it was challenging doing only a few songs in the middle of the afternoon in a club. I lip synced 'A Girl In Trouble' on American Bandstand, letting the audience in on it by turning the microphone as I sang as if it were a phone. By contrast I’m clearly singing live here...we played the music we wanted to hear. BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded between from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on Youtube or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads. In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper, who worked for a local cable TV production company in the 1980s, monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area.
