My recollection is that The Hollies were thought of as a rather lightweight 'top ten singles' band at the time. But listening to this (amazing sound quality by the way) I'm thinking that we did not realize back then what a high standard of musicianship was displayed by these guys. The Nash vocal on this track, the three-part harmonies, the very tasty Tony Hicks guitar playing .... I'm quite blown away by it all. New respect to The Hollies, I'm going back now to listen to as much of their stuff as I can find !

One of my favourite Hollies tracks was Bus Stop.

They were unique in the sense that the sound was theirs and no one else's. This and "Umbrella" transport me back in time. Date stamped the '60s.

You can really see how Tony is watching the lips. As a senior I discover that I am watching lips more than eyes, as I used to do when I was younger.

Loved the sound their two bass players got. But neither had any power in the group. I wonder how horrible their voices must have been not to have been background singing!

@@389383 Just group dynamic. There are always some who just play - Bill Wyman & Charlie Watts, for instance. Bobby had a lot of influence/power but he didn't write. Bernie was brought in, so felt a little bit the new boy, although he was a well respected musician and had played in groups with Bobbie and Tony. Bernie was a pretty unassuming guy, despite the fame - as was Bobby. Bobby and Bernie used to play really good jazz and, when the touring or work, in London, was over they were back up to Nelson and that nice jazz club. Their voices were ok, it was just that the Hollies were three - part harmony. The other thing is that, Allan and Graham had been together, since primary school and had been harmonising, since first hearing The Everlys - probably before - so they were the 'leaders' , as well as songwriters. Allan was also, pretty much, the spokesman, He had the 'hard' head to Graham's 'softer' way. Good guys and very down to earth.

Tony Hicks influenced Alan Holdsworth, no less

They along with The Kinks, The Who, Small Faces were the real *punch* and power house combos in British Invasion th. Maybe bc ALL OF THEM were also heavily influenced by Johnny Kidd and The Pirates (founders of the very early proto punk sound).

Got the DVD. Hollies are awesome. Unique musicians and the vocals are in a class by themselves. The songs have held up over time.

Wow! We had this 45 when I were a lad, spun it a million times in 68, 69...knew every beat every inflection - still do. And every other single. Their live LP recorded in NZ - my home, is superb. Hollies rate with the Beatles for pure musical pleasure in my book.

As a kid and always, loved this group's spectacular harmonies. Such and uplifting song! I never imagined they had to record like this! I would have hated having to sing without any accompaniment and imagine the band. Why did they do it that way? Why didn't they just play it like they probably always did, all together? Thanks as this is such a clear video and from so many years ago. Nice to get an inside view. One wonders how it all happened they came together as a group and what was their musical backgrounds.
