Are these guys making more than $100 per gig?

What the fuck do backup singers make for backing up a corpse on stage in Branson sized theaters? I find the whole economics behind music fascinating. Every guy on that stage is at least 40 years younger than him. Do they make enough money touring to live?

I suppose it's possible that it's just reflex and muscle memory for him at this point, but he appears to be exerting no physical effort whatsoever while he's singing, thus he's either a complete marvel, or a mime. The latter seems more likely to me.

Are you guys being sarcastic and I'm austiscally not getting it or are you all that retarded. He hasn't sung a high note since the 60s. They had to get the fucking drummer gerry polci to sing oh what a night 40 years ago. Becuase Valli couldn't do back in 75.

His mic has a button or some gimmick so he can turn the track off and speak or rarely hit some low notes so it isn't as obvious.

Lol that is hilarious.

This is what Barry gibb sounds like in his 70s. It's imperfect obviously. But at least it's live. You may as well go see a tribute show of Frankie valli

He can still hit those notes at 88? Impressive.

Nah, it's totally fake. My stupid friend went and saw him and was saying "man, he was still singing his ass off" and coincidentally I just looked up to see if this guy was still alive, saw he was coming to my town, I looked up a live video, saw that it was fake, and then read a bunch of people making fun of how fake it is. Yeah I told her she had seen a lip syncing show. She didn't wanna believe it lol.

They don't make shit. If you've ever delivered pizzas or worked as a server in college, you likely came across the older kids who were dropouts because they wanted to pursue a career in music. Being talentless drug addicted faggots, the closest they will ever get to stardom is standing in the back providing backing vocals to an actual celebrity who is disgusted by them and doesn't want to talk to or look at them. They're lucky to make minimum wage. After the concert is over, it's either up to them to find a place to crash, or they are given a bed in a hostel in a room with 100 other people.
