The artists lip-synched some tunes, such as "Help!" and the Burt Bacharach Medley, but most of the songs on the BBC Concert were performed 'live'. It was recorded on September 25 and aired on BBC1 on November 6, 1971. VH-1 has televised the concert for American audiences, however in order to fit it into a half-hour time slot with commercials, they omitted "And When He Smiles", "I Fell in Love with You", "That on the Road Look", and "Lust for Earl and the Married Woman". In addition to singing, Karen also plays the drums during some of the songs.
