@TheHillbillyHermitt1 Tony is playing bass on "Long Dark Road," and Bernie is playing the organ there somewhere in the background. They're playing their usual instruments on "Carrie-Anne." Terry's on rhythm guitar during "LDR" and maracas on "C-A."
Great seeing them live & changing their usual vocals/instruments. They were fine without Allan and looked like they were having fun. I love how Terry bows after each song. Classy!
Simply great - The Hollies without Allan - also fantastic. This LONG DARK ROAD version is fantastic. Rickfors had his problems with the english language - we all know this - but great. I never can see them live with Rickfors. Did anyone have a real good live concert tape with the Hollies + Rickfors ???????
Is it me, or when Allan wasent with them live tony and terry let themselves go for it more, and guitars nicely more loud. Maybe its me great video tho
@morinicuk i agree, you can really see these boys having fun and getting into it! don't ya wish ya could-a been there?!! i love that they switched up their instruments and shared vocal duties - tony just stepped up to the plate - awesomely talented musicians!!!
Thank you once again roots66. This song and King Midas in Reverse are two of my top ten songs. I love the harmonies as well as the lyrics. Much of today's music seems to lack the qualities.
It seems that The Hollies went through many different musicians. Tony Hicks was the one who was always there. Their harmonies are fantastic. Many bands that perform live often sounded different then their albums. The Holies are the exception. Great post.
Bobby Elliott the drummer has stayed with them throughout as well. However, in actuality neither of them are truly "original" members--they both replaced previous guys, albeit very early on in '63 and '64.
Keeping everything crossed, for the induction of this great band!..(.i'm hoping the outfit that TONY has on in this video, will be hanging in the halls of the RRHOF)....
That would be swell! Bobby is the Great Keeper of Hollie Memorabilia, and apparently he even has a lot of their stage outfits in his archives, so who knows, it could turn up...
With Y-Tube a person has the luxury of finding artist and songs that move them emotionally( thats why artists sing)..for me, through their music... only the HOLLIES...stirs my G-Spot!...and if this video were any clearer....ORGASM.!
Whew, easy there girl...but I must admit they get me pretty hot under the collar as well! Yes, it's a shame this vid isn't in better condition but we're lucky to have it. Apparently the only reason it survives is because someone with a primitive early-'70s VCR taped it...I'm told ABC erased most of their "In Concert" archives years ago...
just watching TONY sing, my heart, skips a beat..sigh!! he is sooooo!!!! SEXY, oxoxox's for the HOLLIES, they own the COSMOS....from the bottom of my heart, tks. for posting.

roots66, thanks for the info. After watching the video a few times, I kinda thought it was G. Nash. But, looking a little closer I knew it wasn't.

Who's on the harmonica?
aimeemannfan2010 2 years ago
Mikael Rickfors, a Swedish vocalist who joined the Hollies when Allan Clarke left for a spell in '72-'73.
