No shooting flames, background explosions, cone-titted babes dancing in unison, no need for a "wardrobe failure" to get attention, just purely great songs and talented performers.
Yes. I am so sick of most of the singers taking off their clothes in videos and love concerts. Or arrive looking like they are in an sadomasochistic dungeon
There’s something very special about the Hollies. At least 3 very good singers and a quintessential 60s sound. I love the 60s music, imo the best musical decade.
The Hollies are one of the best groups that came out of the British Invasion; their songs are timeless💯% I love that the groups of that time wore suits and ties 👍
Of course the Hollies were part of my best years when being part of the Beat music starting at the age of 11 when my elder brother ( R.i.p.) and me saw the Stones in 1965 live in concert. It was a fierce competition between the Beatles and the Stones from approx 1964 to 1970, but we had so many other groups which also made good music like the Animals, Beach Boys, the Troggs, Keith West, the Tremeloes, Mamas and Papas, Jimi Hendrix Exoerience, Cream, Doors, Joe Cocker, Tina Turner, Sonny and Cher, the McCoys,Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky Mick and Tich, Moody Blues, Easybeats, Bee Gees and many more ….they all made my life so much better and easier compared to today. And the Hollies had top musicians who played their hits live exactly as they did on the record ! That‘s great, I love that ! I think most of us had there best time when growing up, say at the age of 12-20, right ?
@@user-nw9xo2ih4e Original member Graham Nash stated that they admired the music of American Buddy Holly.. who then became an influence to them along with their love of Christmas Holly garland.. a decoration favorite in England .
The beauty of The Hollies. Perfect harmonies with masterful song writing and musicianship. Untouchable to this day! Another total British Invasion package. Thank you very much...
well you have to remember that unlike the Beatles, most of the Hollies songs were written for them by other musicians; but there's no doubt they were a great band.
Ed...you are so correct...Allan is one of the few "real" singers of that era and Bobby was a great drummer. I met Allan and Tony Hicks in Melbourne several years ago.
Hollies and Pacemakers were much better than the Beatles and many other British Invasion Bands...I can listen to them all day long but Liked their 60's look Suits better than their 70's Trash look.... Tony Hicks is a Great all around Musician and Singer...!!!,
@@6828Lu 100% agree with you on both points - incredible players and I just marvel at watching them play live Especially Bobby Elliott and Tony Hicks 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
An excellent example of quality LIVE music from the 1960s!! No Autotuning etc...and Groups in the 1960s had to graft to learn their "Trade"!!...so glad these performances have been preserved!!
Can we just take a minute and admire how well dressed, and behaved the audience is. The Hollies (❤️❤️) and the audience are from a much better era than today. Such a shame it is all gone.
The groups of the 60s especially the British groups look so well groomed. Lovely suits and lovely haircuts ( not meaning any disrespect to musicians with long hair and jeans.Nothing wrong with that. I just love the suits and tie look).
Great guys i met them all at the Spa Royal Hall in Bridlington in the 60s when i helped out as a roadie for a local beat group my late brother Keith was in,one of my favourites from the Hollies is King Midas in Reverse.
The Hollies harmonies live are sublime - backed by an excellent , tidy and clever drums and bass. Love hearing them live, and getting Terry to replace Graham was a stroke of genius!
@60s Man 60s Guitars Well said. And I will second what you said about Eric, even with all the drooling over Bernie that is going on in these threads. When they lost Eric, they lost the hard-driving beat that made them so exciting.
Tony Hicks is a FINE guitarist. Very young to be playing that WELL...........He looks like Ronald Weasley from the Harry Potter movies. They are fine musicians & their music is timeless. maybe Tony Hicks had a magic wand in his pocket.
……as grew up in the 60’s I thought the music was just THE best! As I’ve got older, have wondered where ‘surfing music’ would’ve gone, if there hadn’t been the ‘British invasion’………………
Timeless quality. They entertained you which is what they aimed to do. No moaning, no politics, just sheer brilliant music. Vocals and harmonies second to none. ❤🪕🎵🎸🎶
and look how slim they were in the 60's!!!! There isn't an ounce of fat on them!!!!Lovely long legs and long shiny hair!!! They really looked very well groomed!!! Love them - saw them at Birmingham Thursday night 17 November 2016 and they were fab!!!!
Bernie Calvert is a great underrated bassist. Played in the background, didn't show off...but when it came time to accent a change/verse/chorus, he was right there to deliver. A bass player doesn't have to be Flea to be great...just keep a solid foundation and accent the upcoming changes. Simple but vital. From one bassist to another.
I quit bass partly because I got tired of people (usually mediocre guitarists) telling me how to play it. The 80's also closed up interesting bass lines, so I gravitated to R&B and jazz. Thanks to the dudes in Seattle, rock bass playing has come back...at least partly. I still hear a lot of boring bass lines.
God I was so young then,I adored them so much!!! My aunt had this record of the hollies we use to listen to their reccords! That was before cassette and dis came out ! Lol that was so long ago . I am 67 now and listening to them brings back so many memories!!!!! To be that young again, all but the Vietnam war! That's one thing I don't want to remember!!!! So many young men going to fight some stupid war and all those young men!! Still breaks my heart !!!!! My best friend's brother had to go,I remember helping fix care packages to send him and his buddies! Thankfully he made it home, but he was never the happy go lucky man was. !! He didn't like talking about it much!! Such a nice good-looking young man. I was around 13 ,14. Years old. No family should have had to see their sons go off to war. I have one done and oñe daughter. My oldest daughter died of breast cancer in her early 30's I took her to Charleston S.C research center for a second option, still bad news. That's the hardest thing to loose a child. Her son's were so young. I really miss my daughter Tonya Hensley!!! One day I will see her again !!!! My son and other daughter get so upset when I talk about her. To me that's just keeping her memory alive!!! My mom is still living and will be 90 this December!!! Her mom lived to be 99 years old !! My grandma Susie!? The kindest woman ever! My mom is just like her !!!!!
One son and one daughter living. My son is in his late 30's . They miss their big sister !!!!! My three children,Tonya ,Amy and my son Lance !!!! Great kids !!!!
One of my absolute favorit band of the 60-th. We could here the lyrics they were singing so we learned to sing along. Greatings from Sweden a 70 year old fan.
I saw the Hollies in 1983, It was in Virginia. Graham was along for the ride. They did a couple of Graham's CSN songs. It was great.. I am a Tony Hicks guy. I wish he had a few more opportunities to sing lead. Try "Too Young to be Married"!!! It is great! Look for live versions.
@ BenPotaka5893: Apparently, Ben, Bobby has been described as technically the best drummer in the world. No less a legend than Cozy Powell admitted that he was influenced in his own drumming by Bobby.
This is a great piece of live music!! I agree with the comments here about Terry Sylvester, he had big shoes to fill and did a good job of it. He certainly doesn't look or sound out of place here. It's a great medley of songs with the best undoubtedly saved until last. I hope my foot stomping hasn't woken up my wife!!! The Hollies are such an underrated band and almost overlooked, fortunately great videos like this go some way to redress the balance.....
Thoroughly enjoyed this Hollies concert especially Bustop and Stop, Stop, Stop with the brilliant use of the banjo playing. The back story of that song was sweet❣️👍
The vocal harmonies, the drummer, just one of the greatest bands, the sound, they rate with the Beatles, the stones anybody just a brilliant, talented, bunch of musicians, and the sweetness in that guitar bus stopped at Gibson the guys just a genius
Мне сейчас 70,когда я был в пирнер лагере и я впервые услышал Холлис и был поражен мелодичностью их милодий, тогда в 60х у нас ничего подобного не было.
Best times ever were the 60s.Take me back in a time machine !
.
No graham Nash
Hollies, one of my favorite groups that came out of England in the 60s. Even today their music still sounds great.
This band was SO amazing
Tony hicks was adorable
The hollies, unbelievable harmonies, and class, unforgettable group of yesteryear x
No shooting flames, background explosions, cone-titted babes dancing in unison, no need for a "wardrobe failure" to get attention, just purely great songs and talented performers.
Yes. I am so sick of most of the singers taking off their clothes in videos and love concerts. Or arrive looking like they are in an sadomasochistic dungeon
Correction, meant live, not love
Precisely.
You nailed it!
Love this song.
The Hollies are without a doubt one of the best groups ever.
Klasika v60 rokoch jedna z najlepsich skupin tej eri
Hey! I think they’re actually singing and playing here! Awesome!
They really helped our music drive of the late 60s and into the 70s ,I grew up in this Era! LOVE IT !
There’s something very special about the Hollies. At least 3 very good singers and a quintessential 60s sound. I love the 60s music, imo the best musical decade.

One of my favorite groups from that era.
Fantastic days the 60s I remember the late 50s they were great times I was never off the dance floor.
'Bus stop' is 1 of thier best songs.
Written by Graham Gouldman of 10cc
I'm 72 this is 2024 still one of my favorite groups and song
I was 12 or 13 when this song was released, did not understand the meaning but loved The Hollies 😅
I like the suite and tie, those era people still had class and honour
Im 63 and I want to thank you for this.
I feel the same

Well spoken!
The British Invasion was the best in pop music history.
Rock and Roll would be nothing without the 50s. It was the foundation for music.
I'm just curious to know how they found this name ' the Hollies ' .
Friday nights we use to listen to them on radio

Agree.
Now that was music
Allan Clark is probably the most underrated rock vocalist of all. Great singing, great playing. Bobby Elliot is also incredibly underrated.
Ed...you are so correct...Allan is one of the few "real" singers of that era and Bobby was a great drummer. I met Allan and Tony Hicks in Melbourne several years ago.
They're all criminally underrated as musicians. It's fascinating to watch them perform live.

Better days by miles..

Well said l am been saying that exact thing for over 40 years.
The groups of the 60s especially the British groups look so well groomed. Lovely suits and lovely haircuts ( not meaning any disrespect to musicians with long hair and jeans.Nothing wrong with that. I just love the suits and tie look).
Yeah, its this very entertainment business that changed that. They were well groomed at first except for hair, but that changed quickly.
Not singing live,or at least the sounds the people at home were hearing was recorded. No fold-back speakers and even one person singing needs that.
I am 72 and came up on that era. I miss it terribly!
Love the Hollies. Tony is so multi talented. The band's harmonies are extroidinary. Absolute Legends!
Tony was sooooo overlooked and underappreciated.
I loved The Hollies, named for buddy holly, who was also great and taken from us 02 soon😢
Absolutely fantastic....one of a handful who could hold their own with the Beatles .
Great music
Beatles foi exatamente como Pelé foi para o futebol
Nonsense
Love the Hollies, Tony on the banjo, brilliant, such a talent, and cute as well.
Great guys i met them all at the Spa Royal Hall in Bridlington in the 60s when i helped out as a roadie for a local beat group my late brother Keith was in,one of my favourites from the Hollies is King Midas in Reverse.
The harmonies are off the charts! Real music!
The Hollies harmonies live are sublime - backed by an excellent , tidy and clever drums and bass. Love hearing them live, and getting Terry to replace Graham was a stroke of genius!
Nobody could truly replace Graham!
@60s Man 60s Guitars Well said. And I will second what you said about Eric, even with all the drooling over Bernie that is going on in these threads. When they lost Eric, they lost the hard-driving beat that made them so exciting.
Love The Hollies especially Allan y
In that era there was so many great groups thank god for RUclips to be abler to really appreciate all of them this group was amazing
Terry Sylvester could hit Graham Nash's harmony parts in the older songs almost dead on.
The Hollies were fortunate in finding Terry as a replacement.
allan Clarke and tony Sylvester along with bobby on drums and an awesome tony hicks, the Hollies would not be denied.
absolutely ! I love his older band the Escorts too!
@@JOHNWLOUCKS his work with the Swinging Blue Jeans is great as well
That is because he passed the audition.
Where's Graham Nash ?
The perfect Pop group with hit after hit after hit.
Tony Hicks is a FINE guitarist. Very young to be playing that WELL...........He looks like Ronald Weasley from the Harry Potter movies. They are fine musicians & their music is timeless. maybe Tony Hicks had a magic wand in his pocket.
Omg love Allan Clarke. Always then and now, great singer and gentleman.
Excellent!
What a fantastic medley. I loved the band and I loved covering their songs with my bands too.
Great song. Clean pure vocals. Energy. Classically fine. Wonderful time.😢
I love that this is clearly live as there are differences from the recorded versions.
🎉❤🎉
Original grup 60-х... super!!!
Thanks for sharing this awesome The Hollies Rock Group their song is are great!
Allan and Tony's voices are just great. I like how the three frontmen all sing. Elliot is a great drummer. Music today sucks compared to this.
Did you ever hear Keith Harkin? He's a blonde Paul McCartney
The problem is today’s kids were invaded by an alien race that’s That is foreign to everything that’s beautiful what a shame
……as grew up in the 60’s I thought the music was just THE best! As I’ve got older, have wondered where ‘surfing music’ would’ve gone, if there hadn’t been the ‘British invasion’………………

Excellent show, loved the last song with banjo the most, fantastic.
I have always loved the Hollies especially Tony😚 and Alan. would love to meet them😉
one of my favorite groups of all time
Timeless brilliance
I am 73 I love the Hollis
Stop Stop Stop - one of the rare numbers where a banjo is NOT played in a country/bluegrass style. Brilliant!
Brilliant..... Brilliant...... Thanks for sharing.... Terry Lear...
Awe memories of university days…the Hollies were one of the best…so many great songs!
Their music is still so memorable.
The Hollies, just super, that’s all.❤❤❤❤❤
A lead banjo in Pop sensational

What a great live show!! The Hollies were one of the best British Invasion Groups, thanks for posting
Yes i love it.
I loved the Hollies and vastly underrated in my humble opinion. They certainly were on a par with the Beatles in talent.
What? On par with the...who?
Холлиз до БИТЛЗ, как до созвездия Плеяд!!! БИТЛЗ ----- ГЕНИИ, а холлиз ----- обычная средненькая группа, каких было довольно много в 60-е
They were a top notch band for sure.
Simply a very top group
I ❤ the song Stop Stop. It reminds me of my earlier days growing up.
Hollies we're great !!! I can't remember one bad song of theirs.
Bobby Elliot was an excellent drummer. They were an all round excellent live band :) thanks for posting :)

Saw that show at the Bottom Line in NYC. They also had a minor hit that year with Stop in the name of Love.
Class act!
Thank u u tube for the music
Always a brilliant band.
These guys are just as good as The Beatles
Maybe better than the Beatles

Hollies are not underrated, and have never been overlooked. It's just that you are clueless.
Let's not forget Tony Hicks! He is amazing on guitar and so adorable!
Nice Hair, and no lip syncing. Very good. Excellent at what they do. I remember the 60's like it was only sixty years ago.
I love The Hollie's
More Manchester Magic!!
Bernie Calvert is a great bass player, the bass línes are awesome!
great music
Tony Hicks' amazing banjo solo with these fast triads - incredible. Also, he looks a bit like Arlo Guthrie.
great talent at work here !
Good times. People playing and singing withtout computers
