- Look through any window performed live by the Hollies on US TV. The host is Frankie Avalon. Notice also Graham Nash in the line-up - prior to Crosby Stills, Nash and Young.
Thanks to my mate Chris who loaned me this film and now I am loaning it to you!

I actually remember seeing this on TV as it happened back in the 60's... Forty something years later I STILL crank this one up! Probably my all-time favorite Hollies song, without a doubt. It's a real shame though that Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliot couldn't make the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Awards. As much as it was great to see Allan, Graham and the guys, it would have been absolutely unreal to see all of them together performing...
Whilst it's true this wasn't live, I've seen their live performance and they really were excellent. Tony Hicks is definitely a great player, especially when you consider how young he was when they had their first hit - he was pretty incredible even then!
Just saw Graham Nash with Crosby & Stills in concert. He looks& sounds brilliant for 67 !!!!
Such joy in their faces.....singing a great song!!!!
Tony Hicks is an incredible guitar player. I agree that he was way under rated. Looking at this video, he plays effortlessly. His right hand picking is amazing.
If I were miming, then I could play effortless too.
Tony and Graham have swapped guitars for this “performance”!
@@LindyL1964 Maybe it's you who should take the closer look.
@@richardgray8593 Maybe so? It just looked real to me. If he is pretending to play, he is doing an excellent job at it.
@@LindyL1964don’t look just use your ears
This is the studio recording
The gorgeous, synergistic harmonies transcend the surreal set and inane introduction.
Still one of BEST bands in the world today. My all time favorite band. There new music is just as good as their old music.
PERFECT song -- what a way to introduce yourselves to the American audience (this was The Hollies' first big national hit here)! More hooks than a tackle box in this tune!
Songs that tell a story having lasting power.
Forget the criticism guys, cause this was the greatest live band ever, and I know it, becasue my own brother (drummer) performed on the very same stage as they did, back in 60s during their tour here in Sweden.
I love how music back in the day were happy and upbeat and music today is soppy
One of my favorite bands...
Some people don't seem to realize that the band is pretending to play the song while the record is being played on the television sound track. This is not a "live" performance of the song. I had this single when I was a teenager. Must have listened to it a hundred times.
They were one of my most favorite British boy bands. What a terrific full sound they had. Absolutely brilliant!
Hicks is one of the most underrated guitarists ever🎸
best song the hollins is realy group fantastic
Does anyone else think the girls were absolutely gorgeous back then. Or is that just me?
My sweet boy Tony Hicks
Great group! Awesome sound and songs. Brings back happy memories.
This is why I love '60s TV music shows! Great song and great cheesy intro...like so many of that TV time. Great song and I'm still trying to play Tony Hicks's intro and outro licks on guitar half as well as he did it.
I listened to this song 100x yesterday and I am 15!
I love my dad for making me watch all the old shows like Hullabaloo with him!
Awesome
Stellar tenor harmonies.
Thanks to Graham Nash... who went on to even greater fame doing the same for & with Crosby, Stills & Nash and, subsequently, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
good group, good song.
Great song, execrable television show.
Alright! I'm going back to the 60's and I'm doing it NOW.
I’m goin with!
Rite on peace man ✌❤💯
Thanks for sharing, had not seen them live before today.
Ok, I remember seeing this when it aired. Yeah, I'm that old. Compare this song to later hits and it is easy to see the evolution.
Allan Clarke is adorable!!!!
This was from the American TV show 'Hullabaloo' in 1965. Sure, Frankie Avalon's introduction is silly by 2015 standards.....but, it's still fun and entertaining - and reflective of definitely a more innocent age. Great stuff!!
Unfortunately, I remember Hullabaloo very well. I used to love it. It only took 50 years to admit it.
Simply the Best Harmonies
What a great song.
They were screwin' with 'em.
Good fun.
Great song.
Now who and the hell would pick football as a backdrop for the Hollies? They must have read the Hollies like football as in soccer and thought US football.
my favorite Hollies song, thanks so much for this great video!!!
One of Graham Gouldman's finest (though he actually CO-wrote it with Charles Silverman)..
great song
This song was written by a 19-year-old kid, Graham Gouldman, who also wrote two other major hits at the same time, "Bus Stop", another smash hit for the Hollies, and "No Milk Today" which he gave to Hermans Hermits. Gouldman later went on to start his own band with some mates; the band was 10CC.
He didn't just do that. Gouldman also wrote Heart Full Of Soul, For Your Love, and Evil Hearted You for the Yardbirds, Listen People as well as the aforementioned No Milk Today for Herman's Hermits, Pamela, Pamela and The Impossible Years for Wayne Fontana and then he joined the Mindbenders, starting his partnership with Eric Stewart, who was both the Mindbenders lead singer and lead guitar player after Wayne Fontana went solo.
@@seancurran6727 also 10 cc.
Didn’t know! Cool.
@@seancurran6727 I will now have to do some research on Graham Gouldman, as you just named a number of my favorites songs from several of my favorite groups. Thanks.
@@billc6087since everyone else replied with the same comment I would've made, let me add that if you just Google Graham Gouldman solo, you can hear him perform his own versions of the hits he wrote for others. His own interpretation of for your love is really cool, discovered them on satellite radio...
What can you say about this superb Band from Liverpool that has not been said before, they are just GOLD ! The Hollies came to Fort Regent , St Helier Jersey C.I. some years ago and I do not ever recall seeing a Band work so hard , playing all their Hits so well.
I can look back with such happy memories,
Are they still playing together ? I heard that Alan Clarke had left for a while but rejoined.
Peter B Jersey C.I.
Thank you for that bit of information.
Manchester
LOVE the Hollies🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
OMG what the Hollies must have thought of American tv. I can't believe they agreed to that intro, but it still isn't as awkward as The Association's 'band as machine' number... still, the music is what counts and both bands are so fabulous. Great to be a child of the sixties!!
Karloffrules Not to mention they probably never heard of American football
+Karloffrules The "band as a machine" number at Monterey was their OWN decision. What, do you think some record company executive MADE them do that?
+Karloffrules You know how it is. Back in those days you did what your manager told you to do, if you were a 60's band who wanted to make it big.
+Rich Ramsey yep...I like it though
Never understand why they call underarmoval groupwrestling football…?!
A great name for a group who were all fans of the late,great Buddy Holly.
Haha...sporting some mighty fine harmonies.... musicians are winners too ...
Hollies are famous for their superior harmonies… :-)
Ah, those were the days. Cool.
Yep
Yea!, I remember seeing this exact show/song live myself, and back then that replay of that guitar part was pretty darn cool, imho. As I recall it was near Christmas in 1966 when it aired, but I could be off by a month or so.
Thanks for sharing
great stuff
This episode may have aired in the Fall of 1965, and might've had a football motif to go along with the fact that in the Autumn of 1965, NBC (which broadcast "Hullabaloo") carried both college football (on Saturday afternoons) and the then-American Football League (on Sunday afternoons; the AFL would merge with the NFL a year later, although except for a common player draft and the Super Bowl, the two leagues would maintain separate identities until 1970).
Love that sound. Beautiful harmonies and lovely jingly guitars. And Nash with his 12 string Vox. Can't get any better.
axiomist I always found it bizarre that Graham Nash's guitar was just a prop for the majority of his time in the Hollies. Only Tony Hicks played on the records (most of the records only feature one guitar line) and at concerts Nash's guitar wasn't plugged in.
Nash is on the vox....usually Tony played it that I have ever seen. Interesting.
@@michellelambert8729
Yeah. Nash was a gifted vocalist and a great song writer, but playing the guitar wasn't his strong suit. He often isn't plugged in even when the others are actually performing live.
The Vox was more of a prop for him. And Tony had an endorsement deal with Vox, so maybe that had something to do with it. Who knows.
I think they liked to mess with people too by switching things around. I feel like I read that somewhere, but not sure of the source.
@@decemberschild1504 They said Nash only weighed 133 lbs! Damn. Probably none of the guys were plugged in for this.
@@michellelambert8729 True! Though Bobby looked like he was really wailing away on his drums.
Miming or not, I do enjoy these old videos.
Never seen this before. Love the Hollies..
This is brilliant
not live they are miming,Alan clark misses a cue at the beginning. lol...but love it.
CB, keep in mind this was when artists didn't take themselves seriously, and music TV shows were more light-hearted then they are now. I think Hullabaloo was also marketed more towards kids and teenagers rather then the 20+ crowd. Even for teens, the intros may be too corny, but it was all for laughs.
The beginning before Frankie's part was not included. This show aired at the beginning of footbal season, so the footbal theme was used in the introduction. Graham had stronger reasons for leaving other then the themes and props used on the TV shows on which the Hollies appeared. The main reason was that he wanted to do music in a different vein than what the Hollies were doing. This was done at a time when music was about fun, and singers didn't take themselves seriously. No harm was done.
Los Hollies, talentosos desde jovencitos. Tony Hicks cantando su línea ❤️ divino
From that all the way to a favorite. Tall Cool Woman in a Black Dress!!!!
I would have left home for any of these chaps.
GREAT live band.
unfortunately this is NOT a live performance .....
Yea love the tune, it’s all pantomime though, and a ridiculous stage set!
@@jackstubbington387 Well, yes, they didn't drag corpses on stage, so they were indeed alive, but it was lip-synced, which isn't a live performance.
@@jackstubbington387 Your logic escapes me. How could they be there at all other than live unless they were dead, whether it were an interview or performance? In which case, the title would have to be "The Hollies - Funeral Service".
@@jackstubbington387 Cool, I'll give it a rest after this: "technically live because they showed up in person". How else would they show up? As holograms like on the USS Enterprise? Cardboard cut-outs? Doppelgangers?
No big deal, but the title was misleading. It wasn't a "live" performance - it was lip-synced, which was standard on 60's TV.
Here's a challenge - try to find anything from the Mamas and the Papas that was actually live. I've tried. Every "performance" on video was also lip-synced, with backing tracks from the Wrecking Crew. They were like the Monkees. The Hollies were actual musicians, and I liked their music.
Love these guys and their music! Great song. Great memories!
Wish it was live, but this was the way back then.
I'd like to think Frankie didn't have much to do with that intro either. It sounds to me like it was written by some middle-aged guy in a suit, who just finished his 3 martini lunch & said, "I bet the young people would like this!"
Otoh, at least he got all the names right.
Fantasztikus összeállítás, köszi !
Performed live, miraculously without instrument cables.
Exactly! 😃
The best Beatle imitation ever
No, no no no. It's like saying that Bobby Elliott is copying Ringo and of course... That's a NO - completely NO
ALAN CLARK, WHAT A VOICE!!!!!
Thanks, for this great post, ianabroad - a very rare clip, indeed! Most groups did not perform 'live' on most variety-show's during this period - sound issues, maybe? So, not sure why the many questions and criticism's with that. Where's Bern Calvert on bass at this time? Not familiar with the bassist shown here. Anyway .. great fun!!
Yes, Eric Haydock was a fantastic bassist - he's on the Hollies' first five or six hits. Bernie came in to replace him when Eric left the band.Best, Barrie
An Australian "Australian Rules Football" player once said here on TV that "American football players wear so much padding that you could drop them from an airplane at 5,000 feet, and nothing would happen to them." ;-)
@squirrel1612 yeahh I know what You mean.. much respect for this man!!
WOW! This is so wonderful to see again! The thought of the Hollies tackling one another in a game of football is so cute! I wouldn't mind getting tackled by Allan! This is a great song and mesmerizing performance by the one-and-only Hollies. Thanks for posting it!
Viva The Hollies viva Allan Clarke viva o rock 👏👏👏
See The Kinds doing All Day and All of the Night on Shindig. That was certainly entirely live, because Dave Davies plays a bum chord in the middle, and makes a funny face acknowledging it.
Cool 60's chicks standing still.
Conscious Lyrics!
You are forgiven, I'm a Salford Red and my all time fav's are the Beatles closely followed by these guys! .....and considering Graham is my Dad's cousin I tend to try to keep a lid on that by the way!
Yes
I saw them a few times in Buxton.😀
A little different with the football roster type intro, great song I thought they were all from Manchester but they’re all Lancashire lads from various places
1:04 ladies and gentleman The Hollies
Win this one for Ringo?!?
guys….I knew these guys…..this is live or pre recorded for the show….totally different sound than the hit record.
I thought it was dubbed because it sounds just like the recording I have. But I kept trying to figure it out so if it was dubbed, they did an awfully good job with it.
i know for sure it aint live
That isn't live playing but thanks for the upload.
@devilwoman52
It is hokey. But that's what variety shows did. What connection to football and that song is a mystery to me.
How do I give a thumbs up?...there is no icon for it. Just an icon for thumbs down. Weird......
I should also add that Nash was increasingly disillusioned with the UK rock scene, which he found competitive and cut-throat. When he hung out with Crosby, Stills, Mama Cass (with whom he had an affair) and others in LA, he found a more cooperative and positive vibe among the musicians. As well, his marriage to Rose Eccles was falling apart, and he just needed a whole change of scenery and attitude. He got it when he moved to the States and joined CSN.
Certainly not live but the recorded single.
Just want to give a heads up to the person that posted this vid. This isn't a live performance so you might want to fix the title. :)
Why is Graham Nash holding Tony Hicks' guitar? Miming?
Blues fan Yes, despite the title of this video, it's not live.
they're playing their respective parts, just on the wrong guitars, must have been their joke.
All the bands had their pranks. The Byrds did Shindig or Hullabaloo with David Crosby wearing Roger McGuinn's glasses and McGuinn wearing Crosby's poncho. Think it was the thing to do back then.
Of course this is not LIVE. They are miming to the record.
Which was the usual way they did it on TV.
When "Hullabaloo" was part of the PBS "Pledge Drive", David Winters, who was the choreographer on the show pointed out that singers or band play live or sing live over recorded music.
They were there to promote their single, ie the thing you can hear. If they had sung out live, that would not have been what they were trying to get you to buy. Makes sense and there's nothing wrong with it.
I'm an American and I agree with you about American football. I think your brand of football (what we call soccer) is a much better sport. All that aside, I thought the American football motif was a really stupid idea... especially when the band happens to be British!
What an odd entrance....their opening riffs are so good and instantly recognisable
Me gusta
Esperaba una rareza
I wonder what they were thinking with this theme.
Live ??
Imperial records. I had this song on a 45rpm
This was the kind of kooky set ups these shows would do to introduce the acts.Anyway,this was a great band and Bobby Elliot was a fantastic drummer.
May be kooky but then again, this was the era with shows like Groovy, Laugh In Hullabaloo, etc. Bands dressing still in suit and ties before the Hippie era took over. Just look at the Beatles and Stones when they first began. That would also be considered kooky now. Best part is that in those days I could understand the words in the songs and it was mostly straight on guitar to amp versus all the distorting gear. Not all the million dollar stages, just pure and simple. Then it all changed..
This is an excerpt from the TV show Hullabaloo.
Lol at the beginning of the video you can see George Harrison XD but OMG GRAHAM AND ALLAN ARE JUST SO CUTE UGH I love the Hollies so much this video is just perfection.
MMMHMMM!!!!! i agree 10000000000% Reeooooow! ;-)
Adios, Graham nash
Wally, Wally...where did you turn up The Hollies? Never heard them before, but great harmony. Did Ricky know about these guys? Five happy stars. Regards, John
You had to wade thru so much bullshit to get to the musical goods back then. But un like now it was well worth the wait
Neither live nor rare. I have this entire episode of Hullabaloo, and every other episode available.
