The Hollies - Now's The Time

[Nokorola]

Someone may have mentioned this before, but does it look like Graham Nash is not actually there. And, It seems to me like he is playing in front of a film of them playing for the shots that he IS in.

[kellyadvent]

b side of stay love eric haydocks fender 6 string bass

[1979cl1]

This song has a total Merseybeat anthem! Great song, too bad that the Beatles "Hard Days Night" movie was not colorized.

[1qoostrich]

I believe that drummer is Don Rathbone.

[lyngoodwin]

Completely unheard of or seen before. Thank you for posting.

[rockzsanders]

EEEE TONY. :D <3

[TheBeatlesFan101]

Lol my last names Elliott, spelled Just like Bobby Elliott's haha

[normvb]

You can't hear it clearly in this recording, but if you listen (or hear a cleaner copy), pay attention to the bass line - it's out of this world!

[PudgyandJasper]

This must be the only Hollies footage with Don Rathbone drumming (who left in June of 63) - Pre Bobby Elliott

[mirniand]

[suzie0517]

great clip thanks again

[k77jones]

hey, where did u find this gem?

thanx 4 posting!

[ItsAllAboutNash]

A charmer from Graham and the Greasers.... just kidding!  Actually dear old Nash looks a little older in this clip

[kickassfan]

They look like The Beatles in Hamburg-leather-wearing outfits-era.

[Rotis59]

This video was also filmed during that brief period in British history when there was a severe shortage of DRUMS! Look Ma, I'm pounding on boxes!

[zacharymich13]

The Hollies Rocks

[HoneyLilac]

love you, Hollies!!! <3<3

[SteveonLI]

sound exactly like the beatles

[mowbray99]

the hollies had a drummer called Don Rathbone before Bobby Elliot is it him,when was film made?

[katdowli]

Yes it is Don Rathbone, so this was probably filmed in 1963 but I think the film this was from (It's All Over Town) was released a year later.

[AngelaRed]

wow that must have been one of their first albums...because man Allan looks alot younger here than most of the other YT videos.

[LadyRattus]

Alright, I always listened to them on a CD and liked them, but I never knew what they looked like.

But now I know...

[Poopaloo55]

So? What do you think? This doesn't really do them justice, especially Allan Clarke, who just got hotter and hotter and......

[LadyRattus]

Yes, this one does look older.

I have watched the others.

Allan and Bobby look the best :)

[hauntboy]

Never knew this film existed - great scene and song. I always felt Graham started to look a lot younger when he changed his hair style from the pushed back look in this clip. Also it looks like Allan is drumming with midget hands at 0.51, 1.15, 1.27 and 1.58!

[SteveonLI]

ha

inattentive editing

[madmanduck]

Classic British Invasion music

[preciousness88]

de tetszik .olyan aranyosak

[rockrocket]

genial!!

[range039esn]

You dont know where u could buy this on DVD do you?

[gomogo2000]

I just bought a DVD on EBay with about 80 Hollies videos on it, including this one. It's called Anthology, and the seller makes and sells them himself, so he has more available.

[aquarush]

Who is the seller?

[Hansa94]

and Allan doesn't look so bad eather;):P

[ne007ne]

brill song brill vidio.If you like this go to the hollies the survior on you tube more modern but great like this.

[novapup2001]

I can just imagine Buddy Holly and The Everly Brothers standing in the wings-- grading their performance. Outstanding British Beat!

[PudgyandJasper]

To one and all....this footage is incredible!!!! That's DON RATHBONE ON DRUMS!!!

the Hollies first Percusionist!! Even though it's the "B-side" to Stay (Elliot on drums), this tune was recorded in May'63 about two months before Bobby joined!

[yellehs2]

Oh, priceless! They're all so young, unbelievable.

[blitzkriegen]

Es una muy buena rola me encanta Smoking

[stalbot46]

Wow! the earliest Hollies footage.

Check that 6-string bass : not many guys today could follow those Hollies bass-lines.

excellent Abbey  Road recording prod. by Ron Richards

[RevRabbitNov63]

...This were very early for them. '63 - ?!?!...

...Check that 6-string Fender bass - like Jack Bruce (Cream) would later have - ??...

[p717]

This was the era when they were really living up to the namesake they chose. Not bad, but I'm glad they changed with the times.

[Yesimustbestupid2]

It looks silly that they get off their bikes, guitar in hand. Otherwise great early vid. of the Hollies.

[moorlock2003]

Blame the director. He should have put a stop to these shenanigans. The horror!

[pramone77]

01:41 Allan play the drums :P

[stonybrookchief]

Tony Hicks looks like hes 17! This stuff is priceless! ! !

[martincq]

I think he was 18 or 19...Great player

[fayquinn]

Thank you waited more than 40 years to see this video, great thanks again

[jeffkahl]

funny thing is on first glance Allan looks like Eric Burdon. i thought in the screen cap that someone had labeled this wrong. turns out i was wrong! there's no mistaking that fabulous Hollies harmony.

[oozie28]

amazing! this video clip justifies the existance of the internet !!

[sgold1]

As the song says..."times are bad" because we no longer have these great performances that bring us the pure essence of music.....

[DissyDissy]

great song what album is it on i got most but cant recall this and what was film about nice to see good old brit film and do americans wank

[moorlock2003]

"Now's the Time" was the B-side of "Stay".

[shootthebusstop]

did you know that drummer was the orginal don rathbone who later became The Hollies roadie.

[nielsnz]

Well that is the Hollies video to end all Hollies video. It is just great.

Delia (NZ)

[cryspop]

LOL Oh how cute

Anyone notice the lads were all either made to or they decided to dye their hair dark, perhaps they were thinking on the lines of if it worked for Elvis LOL

[BobbyVeeFan]

Lance Percival was the guy who did Paul's and Ringo's voices on the Beatles cartoon series.

[PsychedelicGuy]

I know this was an early time for the band, but why does Graham Nash look so old?!? I mean he looked younger later on than in this clip? o_0

[hauntboy]

I have just made a post along those lines before I read your post about him looking old here. I used to watch the Hollies on TV as a child at the time and when he finally moved with the times and had the Beatle cut as they called it,I recall seeing them and thinking they had a new guitarist - he looked so much younger. He looks older here than on the 1981 Medley video. This isn't a knock at Graham though - he's a living legend!

[IDLERACER]

Anybody notice that Eric Haydock is finger-synching with a guitar instead of a bass? I guess there wasn't one handy on the set.

[treasurefromthedeep]

It's a 6 string BASS

[jmanmoonwalk]

THat's one nice looking 6 string Bass.

[martincq]

It's a Fender Bass VI....Rare even then, sounds quite good

[HumGuitar]

Hah hah. I've never heard anyone call it finger-synching. That's funny.

[jmanmoonwalk]

Did you know that The Hollies where the second most successful singles Band in The Britih Charts during the 1960's. They didn't do to bad across the Atlantic but nowhere near the success in England.

[HGtibby]

did they do any better in wales, scotland and southern ireland then?

[jmanmoonwalk]

Sorry. Did you know The Hollies where the second most successful singles Band in the UK singles chart during the 1960's. They didn't do to bad across the Atlantic but nowhere near the success they enjoyed in the United Kingdom.

[laughingtiger123]

Yup, that's Don Rathbone...good drummer....but not like the amazing Bobby Elliot. Awesome clip!

[DadukoDave]

This video was filmed during that brief period in British history when there was a severe shortage of guitar strap material.

[groovyray]

It was released as a b side.The bside of stay.It was the time when bobby elliott took over as the hollies drummer and good thing he did.Bobby's the greatest drummer in the world.Ive seen the hollies live many times since 1993 even though i wasnt born in there hey day.

[tbzeee]

exactly who are these scruffy young men?

[billygtexas]

It may be Don Rathbone on drums, who played drums on the Hollies early singles. I wonder why they sped the music way up... but some very nice shots of the rest of the band.

[chringo]

Has this sone been released as single or b-side?

[markdehamel]

I never knew that The Hollies wore leather. They look great!

[markdehamel]

Cool!
