@NewHopeNashFan You sure spend A LOT of time trashing the Hollies without Nash and his replacement, Terry Sylvester!! I, on the other hand, haven't wasted a second of my life viewing any Nash videos. I think you secretly LOVE the Sylvester-era Hollies (and can anybody blame you?) because you spend all of your time there!!
It's one of the best and fascinating things in their repertoire I ever heard. Hypnotizing rhythm, brilliant banjo, rhythmical yet captivating lyrics, spotless harmony structure and unique vocals. It’s so curious what a little adventure in New York can do to an artist’s mind…
The only problem is shirts. Who was their dress adviser?...
Does anyone know what the white knob thing that Tony has on the middle of the neck part of the banjo is, just noticed it and I know nothing about stringed guitar-like instruments. : )
@60s4everanever That's the high G string. The rest of the instrument is tuned D-G-B-D. I don't know why the string is there. I'm a guitar guy. I can tell you that that is the way Keith Richards tunes his guitars.
I never knew that a BANJO was the source of that wonderful sound! And I want those shirts!!! Every try to find a puffed shoulder shirt these days? I had this on 45 when I was 10 years old in 1966 and if not mistaken it was the flip side of Bustop?
I took up belly dancing at the age of 58, most of the time we danced to traditional middle eastern tunes. But it seemed every time i went to a major class even 200 miles from home, we always ended up the session with this song, improvisation, and lots of laughs
Heart this for the first time today. For some reason it reminds me of early Pink Floyd- especially some of Rick Wright's piano work. I always thought Floyd was absolutely unique, but as I explore music from the 60's, I'm beginning to see where they obtained some of their influences.
USE TO SEE TONY HICKS (the banjo player ) AT THE TWISTED WHEEL IN MANCHESTER ALL NIGHTERS 1969/70 AT THE TORCH IN STOKE AND THE EARLY DAYS OF WIGAN CASINO . NOT ONLY A GREAT ALL ROUNDER MUSICIAN / VOCALS TOO , BUT A GREAT SOUL MUSIC DANCER
Amen jmgajewski !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was crazy about him as a young girl ! I still drool over all these old videos. The one that is the best is the air that I breathe-- he has that come hither look and youknow he is doing it on purpose ! :)
@MsDragon1968 Wouldn't presume to say THE most under-appreciated musician, as i'm sure there are many, but A most under-appreciated one, is what I meant - invaluable in their sound. Will take a closer look at Terry...
@MattWhatsGoinOn I'm sure Terry was under-rated too, with other Hollies tracks. However, with this song in particular, it was the Banjo, bringing in the kick to feel of the song. In which, they didn't really need any other instrument overpowering the Banjo.
I've been speaking to a guy here in Australia, who was with one of Australia's bigger bands in the eighties, after watching Tony Hicks playing the Banjo in this clip. Simon was classed as Australia's best guitarist during the times.
@MattWhatsGoinOn I asked Simon, if he's ever played a Banjo. He quoted NO! However, with him playing many types of guitars and the violin, he has wished over time that he did learn to play the Banjo.
I love this band,not prog not pop.They did some very cool stuff.I was at two of the gigs in Toronto one of wich Nash was back but Clark was the man.This is a cool vid
@musicians: Check the VOX acoustic 12, I also saw him with a PHANTOM 12-string, as you can see from the 1967 video under suggestions, to the right. Did he/they have a deal with VOX? I think I saw a VOX amp in the background, too, if I'm not mistaken. The question is then, anyone know why didn't he use a RIC 12, as many others of that epoca did (and still do, of course)? 3/27/2011
@kyzrsze Tony said "Oy". I have a British friend who yells that at my sons when they are terrorizing each other. I always thought it was funny that they never listen to me but all she has to do is utter that one little word and they stop what they are doing instantly.
A true gem from this great and underappreciated group. One often forgets this song when going through their discography but this is a diamond in the rough. Tony Hicks
and the banjo really make this and as always, Alan Clark's great vocals. Added to my favorites! Thanks for posting.
@morganredneck When we are young, fashion is fashion and it works for everyone, no matter if it suits us or not, right? so..... I guess you were fashion in those wonderful years!
Long hair, bell bottoms, smoking up, hanging out in the village (Yorkville if you live in Toronto during the 60's ) and of course the Hollies. Sweet memories,
@banditdozeryogi If The Hollies were around today, they'd be called "Al C feat. Golden Graham and Li'l Tony" and we'd see them on Vevo banners wearing obnoxious bling and making contrived nigger gestures.
@Terrilliser Rap isn't hurting the music industry, it's the new rock sound. Rap is another genre of music and is performed by acts who grow up horrible youths and "rapping" is their only hope in hell of making money.
LynnaRenae - you didn't mention Bernie Calvert in your lineup! One of THE best bass players of the '60s and '70s! I, too, have been a fan since '64, '65. Not picking on you, just reminding you that Bernie was such an important part of thier rhythm section - he and Bobby.
Ok... this may be a dumb question, so bare with me... Is that Graham Nash on the far left? It doesn't look like him. Am I just too used to the beard look?
@daisykid No, not Nashy, unfortunately. On bango is Tony Hicks; to the left of Clarke is Terry Sylvester (Nash's replacement); behind Sylvester is Bernie Culvert and Bobby Elliott on drums.
@jdisensi1 Although it's wrong to idealise the past I think people were happier in the 1960's from what my parents say. I was born in 1969, but there are reasons why I think my parents were right. There was more job security and sense of community, more national pride and better music. Job security and sense of community were going by the 1980's, but we still had a great music and fashion scene. Now we have lost these too, though we are still a materially rich nation.
One of my first 45 records I bought was 'Look Through Any Window' and I have to say that if you couldn't play your instrument or sing you didn't get very far. It's obvious that these guys took time out to practice their songs. Today it's I'll buy a home studio and play my own stuff and blah, blah, blah.....So sad.
THIS is the song I fell in love with the Hollies by! During this time, they came to the US and was one several TV programs. I watched them all and fell in love with Tony Hicks!
To larrydh2, hope you don't mind my opinion but for me, I reckon it's 'live', the reason being that they could only really lip-sync to a version they knew or had practised really well, and most likely that would be their 'studio' version. I have not heard any significant variations on this song by them, but for me, IMHO the biggest clue is the final banjo strum at the end - this is not on the studio version (I have it on '45 & LP) and that's not part of it - it fades with no final end.
@c00kee Tony hicks is great on the banjo i think this definiately live too, Im 62 watched lots of groups live in the 60s and 70s and they had to be good live or else they would not last ..Just my opinion
I agree, it is live, but the first time I heard it I thought that there were some backing track in there. I don't think that now. The banjo is different from the record and the drum sound is different as well, the cymbals are very subdued here.
@c00kee I could be wrong, but I've read that Terry was very new for this concert, replacing Graham. They sang and played live over a backtrack to support the sound. Terry soon locked his harmony in and was at least as good as Graham (some say better).
amazing all the creativity and imagination in the 60's in England. The Beatles like the tip of a mountain range of icebergs, so much good stuff. Love the utterly non-standard use of the banjo - brilliant.
for anybody that didn't know. tony hicks was an apprentise electrician before he came a professional musician in 1963 when he joined the hollies.

When I was a little girl I had a huge crush on Tony Hicks (mid 70's) This brings back so many memories.

To larrydh2, hope you don't mind my opinion but for me, I reckon it's 'live', the reason being that they could only really lip-sync to a version they knew or had practised really well, and most likely that would be their 'studio' version. I have not heard any significant variations on this song by them, but for me, IMHO the biggest clue is the final banjo strum at the end - this is not on the studio version (I have it on '45 & LP) and that's not part of it - it fades with no final end.

@c00kee Tony hicks is great on the banjo i think this definiately live too, Im 62 watched lots of groups live in the 60s and 70s and they had to be good live or else they would not last ..Just my opinion

I agree, it is live, but the first time I heard it I thought that there were some backing track in there. I don't think that now. The banjo is different from the record and the drum sound is different as well, the cymbals are very subdued here.

@c00kee I could be wrong, but I've read that Terry was very new for this concert, replacing Graham. They sang and played live over a backtrack to support the sound. Terry soon locked his harmony in and was at least as good as Graham (some say better).

amazing all the creativity and imagination in the 60's in England. The Beatles like the tip of a mountain range of icebergs, so much good stuff. Love the utterly non-standard use of the banjo - brilliant.
