+1 on the use of 58 and M88 type mics. I have personally had good results with a Shure Beta 87, in that it's a little less "closed off" sounding than most dynamic mics. There are better sounding vocal mics out there, but I find that the Beta 87 gives me the best bleed vs sound quality ratio.

well, I probably won't get around to building any GOBOs until the weather is warmer (maybe I'll try to post a photo essay of the process), but I tried my M88 for scratch vocals last weekend and it was great. singer was only 3 feet away from the drums and the bleed was still manageable.

If you have a control room, put the singer in there. The band can face the glass and have eye contact. Then you can retrack a final vocal later. Then Harmonies

Edit:
In a bedio, a pair of video feeds, screens, Mic/Headphone extension cords and another room for the singer would work.
