The Hollies Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction 2010 Part 2 of 4

The Hollies are Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The ceremony was held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York on March 15, 2010.

[@hollies65]

Long overdue for this great band!

[@bigbadredsox]

Long overdue but well deserved. Sadly, we will never see the likes of The Hollies again.

[@Sams911]

bigbadredsox just a couple of decades overdue, yep..

[@Poopaloo55]

My heart is full when Allan says 'Dad...I'm being inducted into...a museum!' Longevity indeed. What a thought; what an honour. Vrinda, I will treasure this video.

[@susanhewett8174]

Congratulations to Allan, Graham, Tony, Bobby, Bernie, Terry and Eric on your Hall Of Fame induction. I am proud of you all and a proud Hollies fan.

[@adamfriend1040]

Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there??

[@faeryquene]

What so many of us Hollies's fans wished for-and our wish came true! :)

[@andyinoregon]

The tightest 3-part male harmonies in rock and roll belong to The Hollies.

[@johnny0468]

great speech,,,,the hollies were legends ,,,eric haydock n bobby ,greatest drum n bass ever!!x

[@karenstrouse997]

The hollies rocked

[@Poopaloo55]

Absolutely incredible!! A longtime coming and 100% deserved by our wonderful Hollies....yay!!!!

[@ShyRose81]

Thanks Vrinda for posting this! As I was watching Allan and Graham give their speech, tears were welling up in my eyes (again!) for them. I'm so happy for these guys! Well deserved and long overdue. Sandy

[@Paul-lm5gv]

In the video tribute , they didn't include them singing 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother' - just the harmonica part. This was one of the greatest rock anthems ever!

[@harlow743]

The best harmony of any british band

[@joanthomas6337]

Graham Nash talks in a very commanding fashion.

[@LG-kl3co]

Rumour has it that he is still talking......

[@TWTexasA1]

That was pitiful…

[@zuck21]

thank you alan graham bobby bernie tony and eric....your music is timeless

[@carrieanne1967]

Thank you Vrinda - This is so wonderful, so emotional and so iconic - Very tearful when Steve said Allan, Tony, Graham, Bobby, Terry, Eric and Bernie had been inducted - Amazing !!!

[@adamfriend1040]

Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there??

[@zuck21]

its too bad that bobby and tony could not be there you are right ...it has been so long and it is so great that they are finally there and should have been long ago....i remember having an original lp of stop stop stop as a kid that i had bought ....wonder what it would be worth now........thanks you for taping this .....

[@h8jf1]

Just mentioning "Arthur Alexander" and "Larry Williams" makes this speech worthwhile and everlasting. Thank you Stevie!

[@sapphiretaurus]

@katdowli Terry also puts his arm around Allan at that moment, too! How lovely!

[@galericulus9736]

What an excellent induction speech. Quite the best of its kind I have ever heard, and very well deserved. I will now take a new interest in the East Street Band.

[@marthawelch4289]

It's the "E Street Band".

[@TCSC47]

An excellent speech from Little Steven, but at 3:30 he says the Hollies "exquisite harmony was shared only by the Beatles". Appropriately complimentary about the Hollies, but incorrect. For those of us who were there back in the 60's UK music scene, the capable harmonies of small combos were staple for many bands. The sort of harmony of the Hollies and Beatles was very much taught in school and church choirs. Youth club and school dances could always be relied upon to feature this style of music. The Hollies and the Beatles were fortunate to have producers and arrangers who wanted to get it onto their recordings. The Stones on the other hand didn't try and use harmonies as much on their recordings, but listen carefully to some of their early recordings and the harmony voice you will hear is in fact ex-choir boy, Keith Richard!

[@zuck21]

what an amazing speech by stevie.he is so right the grammys suckand so do the ama's

[@nelidasilviacastro1722]

🎉ayyyyyyyyy Los quiero ver a ellos!!!jaja😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@nelidasilviacastro1722]

Los Amo!! Love Yes!

[@hughmcerlean7697]

A good we band with lots of big hits there's was music

[@peterwooldridge7285]

What a fantastic speak

[@sapphiretaurus]

Check out Allan shaking hands with Bernie at 7:35. It's as if they hadn't seen each other in years!

[@Dara604]

After watching these videos a few weeks ago, I became a mega Hollies/Graham Nash fan! Graham, (or Willy as Crosby, Stills, and Young called him), was the one who got my attention the most out of the whole group.I think his accent is cute! I met Terry Sylvester and chatted with him after a British Invasion Tour show two years ago; he was fun to talk to. Graham is next on my list! I hear he's really sweet to all the fans, as well as an incredible performer and storyteller. My parents gave me his audio book of his autobiography "Wild Tales: A Rock and Roll Life, for my birthday recently; I will be listening to it very soon. Shortly after, watching these videos, I went on Spotify, Wikipedia, this site, and others to do research on them and Graham. Now, they are one of my all time favorite British bands. Graham was here last year and did two shows in Philly in February of this year, but I did not attend those shows. Next time he comes my way toward the City of Brotherly Love again, (which I'm hoping and praying will be really soon), I hope to give him a big hug, chat, and maybe even sing a few songs with him! I also hope to thank him for all the great songs he has written and for making a huge impact on my life with The Hollies, CSN/CSNY, and his solo work. Rock on Hollies and keep up the great work, Graham! Peace and Love, Dara

[@Dara604]

My dream came true last month on July 16th, 2016! I saw Graham Nash live in concert for the first time and met him during intermission at his show at the Keswick Theater in Glenside, PA. We took pictures, hugged, and chatted very briefly before he had to go back on stage. When he saw me, he came out and said to me in his light British accent, "Are you Dara?" I was beaming with joy! I feel very blessed to say that he and I have become friends now! The next time he comes back my way to the Philadelphia area, I am definitely going back to see this incredible man!

[@direhollies4440]

Dara Roberts that's so beautiful you're so lucky. Dream come true. He really is amazing. Then again so are all of them.

[@Dara604]

Dire Hollies, thanks! They are all great! If Graham ever comes your way,, you definitely should see his solo show. He puts on a fabulous concert!

[@direhollies4440]

As a matter of fact I'm going to one of his shows in a month and will get the chance to meet him. I'm very excited and nervous. Any tips or comments from one fan to another?

[@Dara604]

Just be yourself, and have fun!! He is the nicest guy you will ever meet! His show is phenomenal too! It's just him and his guitarist Shayne Fontaine with candles lit around the stage and everything! He will take you away on a musical journey you will never forget! It's like he has transformed himself into your next door neighbor who is paying you a visit to sing and talk with you. He still has that perfect voice at 75 years old! He recently got engaged to a beautiful young woman named Amy Grantham who was the inspiration for his new album that came out in April of last year, "This Path Tonight." He tells stories behind every song. And he does a few Hollies and CSN/CSNY songs too. You are in for a real treat! And get ready to sing along to "Our House" and "Teach Your Children!" Have a blast and enjoy the show and meet and greet! You will not be disappointed! I am praying that he will come back to Philadelphia again this year too. We shall see what happens!

[@suebee3490]

@MSmith1277 I too thought it was odd that there was no video showing Terry. Could have showed the band members with Terry when Allan was singing the bit of Long Cool Woman. Oh well - I'm glad they are in - they deserve it.

[@suebee3490]

@katdowli Also someone in the audience says "yes, yes yes" when Stevie mentions Tony being underrated. Wondering was tht Allan saing that or just someone in the audience?

[@ManzannaSaotome43]

suebee3490 I think it was Graham

[@nelidasilviacastro1722]

Soy Feliz!!!!!❤Nelly Prof Ciudad BsAs

[@normatible9795]

ALLAN CLARKE!!!!!!! The greatest

[@veraluciasc]

An unforgettable night!!! A grand prize for a great band!!!! Thrill to review ALLAN CLARKE!!!!!!!!! Thank you Vrinda

[@nelidasilviacastro1722]

Soy Feliz!!!!!❤

[@nosferatu4404]

Looks like a liverpool fan back there around the manchester band :amazin'

[@Chiselnyc]

@carrieanne1967 And great that all the members got in. Each contributed to the band when he joined.

[@bluesboy25000]

I wish that Little Steven had done a speech like he had done for the Rascals.

[@Poopaloo55]

@Grunge2009 Thanks mate!

[@TonysMusic1974]

Is he going to actually talk about the Hollies?????

[@shavingdave1]

I love The Hollies, but this speech just ran me out of the room!

[@Chiselnyc]

@rocktenniscat You are right. It took forever and a day! Hard to believe since they were always such a Shoo-in.

[@sapphiretaurus]

@PollieHollie67 I am, too! It's a dream come true.

[@sapphiretaurus]

@suebee3490 Bernie is the bald-headed one. The heavyset one with the white hair is their original bassist, Eric Haydock.

[@nelidasilviacastro1722]

Dios!!!!!!!

[@roots66]

Somebody needs to post a full-sized jpeg of the photo at 4:58 to the message board, stat!

[@sapphiretaurus]

@suebee3490 Yes, Sue. Their names are engraved on them.

[@ChasNDaveVideos]

Wonderful stuff! Do you have part two (rest of the speeches + 3 songs?). Someone is sending me a DVD of this but I can't wait! : )

[@LG-kl3co]

Clarkey seemed to be putting on an American accent or is the soundtrack sort of "stretched" ?

[@zuck21]

@ocarrington i agree the fact that the moodys are not there is a travisty ..they are one of the biggest grossing bands as far as their live showws and are truly influencial and original with their sound

[@suebee3490]

Do these awards have their names engraved on them? Just wondering as it looks like Bernie and Terry switch awards.

[@trsdarrin]

long overdue is an underststment. Not sure but did i see what looks like Greenday kids i heard they got in who's pipe did they smoke to get in.

[@Grunge2009]

@ poopaloo55 At 5:02 thats Eddie vedder from pearl jam...i hope they get inducted next year with nirvana

[@SuperAnimelover100]

Just shocked how much Allan Clarke had aged !!! I hope he is ok .

[@candygeorge8713]

Yes I only like him in the 60s

[@paulahunt2737]

Sandy Sandy Allan is 80 this year April I think x

[@ManzannaSaotome43]

bueno, yo descubro a The Hollies (o más bien la discografía de The Hollies, no sólo esas 4 rolas conocidas) y resulta que tiro toda mi Beatlemanía por la ventana. No me animaba a ir más allá porque los mismos Beatles eran los que los aborrecían, decían que les copiaban todo, entonces debían ser algo malo para mí. Ahora entiendo cuando dicen que son mejores que The Beatles. Yo cuando escuchaba eso sólo me burlaba. Ahora soy yo la que ríe silenciosamente de la mayoría de los Beatlemaniacos encerrados xd. demasiada atención de aquél lado. . .

[@upperdarbybill]

I'm not seeing the soul patch on Graham or should I see an optometrist . Am I seeing chin whiskers or is it time for a new monitor? Oh I'm getting old with these guys

[@KieroUnasBotasAGoGo]

4:10 asdfghjkl Allan and Graham s reaction

[@Harrisonianne]

4:55 alguien le puede pedir esa imagen a Henry Diltz, (se me ocurre) es para una tarea 🥺

[@Harrisonianne]

8:38 La cara de Bernie cuando Graham dice que Tony y Bobby esperan que sus trofeos les sean entregados en una sola pieza 😂 bien que conoce a Graham😅

[@MattWilson.]

4:39 is that billie joe armstrong?

[@suebee3490]

I know which are Graham, Alan, and Terry, but which one is Bernie Calvert - the bald-headed man or the heavyset one with white hair?

[@blackmore4]

The bald one is Bernie Calvert and the white haired one is Eric Haydock.

[@Poopaloo55]

Who is that at 5:02?

[@shavingdave1]

Eddie Vedder. Pearl Jam.

[@femaibenrigiel7958]

Graham Nash having a drink in the podium?

[@vrinda5303]

It's water.

[@adamfriend1040]

Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe over there??

[@timrobson402]

Who's this fool?

[@nanb.8953]

This was so not right in my opinion. When Nash left the group, their best work happened. Terry Sylvester should have gotten more recognition. It was HIS harmony we heard on great songs like The Air That I Breathe, He Ain't Heavy, Long Cool Woman and more. Clark did Terry a big disservice by not giving more credit to him.

[@LG-kl3co]

Not on Long Cool woman, there were no harmonies it was Allan Clarke only. You need to read the recent book by Bobby Elliott it blows away the myth that Allan and Terry had any problems. Terry took issue with Tony Hicks who was by then the group leader and left with a handshake.

[@Harrisonianne]

L G But there's also a line in the book, in which Bobby states that Tony went to ask Terry why his (fck n) wife hated the whole Hollies thing so much and specially Allan (? So we happen to think that was the ballsy question that ruined it all lololol Personally, I do believe Terry was planning to leave the Hollies mid 70s, without telling a word to the others. The Sylvester x Clarke problem issue may have been true. This could much explain Clarke's hostile treat to Sylvester in here. Just look how he totally ignore him, while he shakes Bernie Calvert's hand (Terry's closer friend) just in front of him...

[@BoynamedMagnus183]

They really didn`t deserve an induction in The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame,they aren`t Rock And Roll,and they also not sold anything more than just 2 Million records worldwide,look even The Searchers have sold way more albums than them!😂😂😂😂

[@Ritchy050]

Way to much talking, who cares. boring, did I say boring.

[@FAITH-FAY]

I agree with you. Boring boring. Shut up Steve. Bring out the hollies.

[@susanhewett8174]

I got sick of listening to Steve and went to the part when he finally introduced The Hollies and watched them all give their lovely speeches.

[@RegisWilkins]

This is a weak speech. Little Stevie can't sing. Better to have someone from the Beachboys do the honors.
