audio recording - something I first noticed years ago when they ripped off the video of Radar Love from Golden Earring's first appearance on the Midnight Special and combined it with the studio track, even though when the appearance was taped lead singer Barry Hay had laryngitis and guitarist George Kooymans had to take more of the vocals.

Every video from that YouTube channel is fake like that, as the video descriptions vaguely admit.

Low fidelity video/High fidelity audio.
1966......#11 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #8 U.S. Cash Box Top 100
Original video edited and remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Dirty Water" is a song by the American rock band The Standells, written by their producer Ed Cobb.

so many videos of old performances...until I saw the Golden Earring video and realized what the channel was doing.

There is a lot of fake stuff on the internet. I wish there weren't.

From now on that are not AI enhanced. It's going to be hard sometimes because even the artist's Youtube channel has videos enhanced by AI. Probably less noticeable than most, but they do. Of course I have never posted IA generated audio.
