For years I have wondered why this terrific band never got their just due. Finally they are being recognized for their many talents. A great band that produced so many feel good songs when I was growing up in the '60s. Thank you Hollies.
Joe Bloggs - I concur wholeheartedly - Allan Clarke is easily one of the finest lead singers in rock history - It is sad that not nearly enough people know it!!!!!
Graham was using a Banjitar. Tony had played it on the previous song, The very last day. A Banjitar is a banjo head with a six string guitar neck. Tony uses a more normal style of Banjo on Do the best you can
@ladybluluv , aibajunno, harvey, and whisper: that is called a banjitar - tony was playing it on 'the very last day' before he turned it over to graham. it is a 6-strng banjo with a guitar neck, tuned like a guitar so he can play guitar chords, but it still sounds like a banjo - great sound, huh?! easier to play than a trad 5-string banjo, that tony switched to, which is harder to play since the tuning and fingering are so much different than a guitar. doncha love it?!?! xo
RIP Douglas Kenny Lane January 27th 1954 to December 27th 2008 way ahead of the times a prototype to weird to live to rare to kill love you pops a you were a pioneer in the game
"KEEP GOIN KEEP GOIN *weird arm gesture*" I CAN'T!!! And then he's like "THANK-YOU" and I'll just like "....I see...." AND THEN GRAHAM FELL OFF THE STAGE XD "WOOOAH" I LOOOVE GRAHAM
Three handsome men with greatest voice Allan Clarke voice is like a diamond

Make mine your words!!
Amen, amen to that!! So very true, indeed!!
Even his TALKING voice is incredibly pleasant.Allan's vocal cords were diamonds. .
..Could not agree more!! A very gifted gentleman!!
Allan Clarke is one of the finest vocalists in rock history. Thanks for sharing this!
Allan’s voice in this is spot on…..
Hollies Heaven, that's what this is...I'm gobsmacked!!!! Thank you from the bottom of my fluttering heart!!
Clarke was the best and could play the gob-iron like no one else. Greatest and certainly the most prolific group...in my humble opinion.
God that's wicked. They were remarkable live. So much individual talent in one band!
God, I never thought I would see them singing this song live. It's wonderful.
Thanks for posting it.
Increible que esté viendo este video de hace 52 años! . Qué gran grupo.
Great to see part of my live 50 years later.
Still amazing.
absolutely one of my favorite songs by the hollies
Thank for posting this gem, Lynn. The Hollies are having a ball performing and the attitude is contagious.
All things considered, to sing this song live takes quite a bit of effort and they did it flawlessly ! Bernie also played a good Bass :+)

Eye candy at it's best
i just love the banjo intro
What a lovely song!!!!!
I love how Graham takes Tony's banjo, and Tony just gets out another one :')
He's has to have a few on hand just in case. 😄
Graham was using a Banjitar. Tony had played it on the previous song, The very last day. A Banjitar is a banjo head with a six string guitar neck. Tony uses a more normal style of Banjo on Do the best you can
Another great song from the lovely HOLLIES!!!!!
do the best you can and courage of your convictions are my hollies favorites
You can tell they're proud of this one
Bravo! Soaring harmonies like no other band.
"Doo the best of you"--tee hee! Thanks a million for sharing these--truly live Hollies clips are manna from heaven!

Nice harmonies!!!!
Oh, my dear heart....I LOVE THEM!!!!!
Love this song. Thank you, Hollies!
In the U.S. this song was the A-side. It was a minor hit in the autumn of 1968, and got quite a bit of airplay here in Los Angeles.
"THANK YOU!" Classic.
Spectacular
great song from these monsters of nature, great work!
2:09-2:31. Angels singing!
Agree... They are one of the most pleasant and perfect harmonies in contemporary music along The Beatles and The Beach Boys, incl Bee Gees
Me encanta esta canción... Me gustaría que algún experto o experta en subtítulos, tradujera esta canción... quisiera saber que dice...
En camino...
Great to see some new old footage(?) especially this song. Thanks so much for this.
Really liked the Beatles in the 60s but always thought the Hollies were just as good.
Very good, very good, thanks for posting Lynn xxx
Very good, very good, thanks for posting Lynn
Noticing the Shure 545 Mics, they were great mics for the time.
Top shelf..Thanks Mark for the share.
THE FANTASTIC HOLLIES

@sara strand totally agree with you! Allan's voice 😍😍😍 wide, perfect vocal range 😍 oh and I can spot Hicks' '64 John Lennon lookalike here

LOVELY!!!! I Want More!!! More Of TONY! ;-)

I am not a big fan of this song, but Allan Clarke is divine!
RIP Douglas Kenny Lane

Wooooww, yeahhhh, fantastic!!
Nice wee catchy tune
YES, he SURE does, Music !!! :D
@ladybluluv I suspect that is the first time in written word a banjo player was ever referred to as "Hot"!
Doo the Best of You
Still groovy
*The Hollies invented somewhatlike the MTV Unpluggeds* OMG 😭
😍😍😍
Of course, to be historically accurate, it was Yugoslavia then. From shortly after WW1 to the early 1990s, Croatia was a part of Yugoslavia.
how many rock bands used banjos?
"KEEP GOIN KEEP GOIN *weird arm gesture*" I CAN'T!!! And then he's like "THANK-YOU" and I'll just like "....I see...." AND THEN GRAHAM FELL OFF THE STAGE XD "WOOOAH" I LOOOVE GRAHAM
👍🪕🪕great!!
Is Graham on summing?
My tony crush is strong here....
Ha, ha. It's not the mic, Nash's voice wasn't anywhere near as powerful as Clarke's.
Graham is so funnnneh.
Allan* not "I'll"
dunno - but this one did ....
You're talking about Shure...has that company ever made a shit mic yet? ;)
hey, btw, what is a 'rita' waiting in a 'mac'??? british friends, what say you??? lol
A "mac" is a raincoat. I am unsure about "rita". Hope this helps.
Rita...meter maid.... traffic warden in a raincoat uniform?... officialdom..😉
when I want to hear banjos look no furthet
Hahahahaha, surrealistic
Rolling Stones Paint IT black
Sitar played by Brian Jones. No Banjo.
That's why the sound man should've turned Nash up.
Doo the best of you? WTF?
Doo-Doo
