    One of the most iconic introductions in rock history, you know the song in under 1 second when it starts playing. I also love the lyrics in this rock classic, “sitting in a nest of bad men, whiskey bottles piling high...”

    Love the "crunchy" guitar sound they get. The right kind of amp and the right kind of pick works wonders.

      @ralphsanchico2452 3 года назад

      So are those 3 lead guitars in there? The reason why I'm asking is because I wanted to suggest this to a friend of mind to do a cover song on it. But it looks like it would work better with all 3 guitars!

    Thanks for the memories. Also try The Dave Clark Five, also part of the British invasion of the mid sixties. 'Glad all over' is one of their best.

    Thanks for doing this one, it has a special place in my heart. We had been forward deployed in Japan for years and our ship changed home ports to Long Beach Ca. We were all excited to be back home as it were and the evening before we pulled into port we were steaming along at a pretty good clip and I went up on the fantail with my boombox (this was in 88). I was able to pick a US radio station and this song was playing. I cranked it up and there were maybe a dozen of us shouting dancing, it was great!

This is just the best song & the story is really good- Sometimes it’s hard to understand the lyrics but look them up. This is one of those songs that you’ve been singing it one way, but the lyrics really say something else. LOL

    Yes the Hollies were yet another band that influenced many, and had a rich sound. I often think of artists like them sitting around now, probably happy with retirement and well off but maybe, just maybe wondering if younger people know what they did. Videos like this are very satisfying in that way.
    Though it's hard to choose favorite, this one being one of the best... I still have strong nostalgia for "The Air That I Breathe" for its sheer beauty and power.
    I know it's slow and dramatic for some people, but if you don't over play and save it for the right moments (usually alone thinking of a past love), it's one of the best songs on the planet.
