The Hollies Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction 2010 Part 1 of 4

[NewHopeNashFan]

It is unfortunate that Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliott could not come, thus disappointing their fans here in the States. It is too bad that Sylvester's fans interpret this as Sylvester being deliberately snubbed by anyone, be it the television executives or actual Hollies. The people in charge did the best they could with what they had. I venture to guess that there is much bad blood when it comes to the Hollies, beginning when Graham left.

[TuneKritiq]

In the words of Nash's colleague David Crosby, it's been a long time comin'. In the early days their sound and exuberance could not be beat.

Glad this long standing debt to Nash and his first band has been paid.

[coreyorama]

grahm nash is the franki valli of the UK

[211FairyTale]

a great speech by "Miami" Soprano Steve -- but o hell, the Hollies should have been inducted YEARS sooner

[8778yeh]

Saw them many times as a teen in the 80's thanks to my dad and grew up listening to them at home. still luv em.....

[TheJcreg]

Too bad that VZ' s vocab didn't include words that could be shared on YT>

[Mayerling52]

Fantastic!♥

[heymaryann1]

Gee, I guess no one could find ANY pics of Terry or Rickfors. There are plenty on you tube and they could've borrowed the many albums I have of Terry's 12 year tenure as a Hollie. Yes, the Hollies actually produced several more albums after Nash left and their biggest hits were AFTER he left. But, I don't want to confuse anyone with the facts. I know! Terry was vaporized just like Tony was at the end of the clip. Sorry, you can't erase TERRY SYLVESTER and those who tried to look very small!

GRACIAS A SAPPHIRETAURUS POR SUBIR ESTE LINDO VIDEO,LO FELICITO  GOD BLESS YOU

[polaroyd5]

it's a pity that the audio has been censored. Hard to understand from Europe!

[IBeGodly]

I am very proud to say that I am a Hollies fan ;{D

[evetsgolb]

The Hollies were probably the longest running Rock/Pop Groups to ever bless us with some magnificent songs by the ever best ever produced out of England..I loved there music..

[Poopaloo55]

That really was a kick-ass montage they put together!

[dfarmbrough]

Audio keeps cutting out during the rather peculiar speech by Miami Steve Van Zandt. But the Hollies are a class act and are really in the top ten 1960s groups. Shame they were overlooked for so long

[chakahfatah]

why wasnt terry allowed to sing long cool woman?

[sapphiretaurus]

@chakahfatah Because he was not the one who was planned to sing it. Allan wrote the song, sang it, and rehearsed it. He could not sing as well as he could, so another singer was asked to do it.

[luvcorywells]

@sapphiretaurus He also wasn't included in the line up of videos in the beginning of this video. So sad they excluded Terry like that.

[Aibajunno]

I kept waiting for Dear Eloise...I like it, and it wasn't done...Other than....the speech by Van Zandt was GREAT and VERY true!

[bluegrassreb]

One of the most underrated bands ever!!!

Finally...R-N-R HOF

[tenorismo]

there isn't a pop group today that can compare .

[AveragelifeofKai]

HAHAHA! I saw the soupy sales sign at 2:37 and lost it. God does that bring back memories. I used to watch him in the morning. He was sort of a detroit thing but he had a show for kids it it was the BEST!!! With black claw and white fang. OH GOD!!!

[roooster]

Can someone tell me what really happend when they performed long cool woman? I dont understan why allan didnt let sylvester sing, please I need to know!!!!

[sapphiretaurus]

@roooster Check your private messages!

[Tsylfan]

@roooster Read some of the discussions on jimmypolecat's upload Terry Sylvester gets denied at the 2010 Rock

[midianholic]

@sapphiretaurus

I read it on Wikipedia a while ago. I am very happy it is not true.

[sapphiretaurus]

@midianholic Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia. Some of the articles are written by ignornant and arrogant people who like to promote false information. The Hollies' article had a lot of inaccuracies, and when a friend of mine tried to fix it and rewrote it with all the correct information, someone deleted it and replaced it with the same nonsense that was on it before. They even included a part that stated that Allan and Graham did not let Terry perform, which is all a lie.

[midianholic]

@sapphiretaurus

Thanks for the clarification. I guess Wikipedia is not to be trusted.

[thephantomx1]

@sapphiretaurus hi i am interested in what was written thatis untrue

[pietrogutta]

right on stevie, the music industry is fucked up. the only good thing we got is this hall of fame thing.

[aliciastef]

just amazing......:))

a classic band......thanks for the share aristacourt :)

[santamara]

Fabulous!

Thank you and to aristacourt for sharing!

[janey33]

It's about time! Classic band, timeless tunes, and wonderful vocal performances. And British too. Great video, thanks for posting!

[bluesboy25000]

God Bless Little Stevie.

[beatlemania2006]

Does anyone have the interview clips of Graham Nash from 1964 and Allan Clarke from the late 70s or whenever? There's a bunch of clips I'd like to see that's in the montage.

[fgldnglbs]

The Hollies have such a distinct harmonic sound that you know its them even if it's a song you never heard. A few years back, there was a Planters ad using an obscure Hollies song whose title slips my mind.  Graham Nash has had the great forturne to be in two Hall of Fame acts that have instantly recognizable harmonies in the service of songs that are still with us.

[rocktenniscat]

Fantastic! When you see this clip, you realize they should have been in the Hall of Fame A BLEEDIN' LONG TIME AGO! What a band!

[kickassfan]

The Hollies: The sound of my youth

[rich88b]

The Hollies entry into the Hall of Fame is so well deserved.... they had so many good songs with superb harmonies and having seen Graham Nash last summer, his distinctive voice is still sounding good and has a very pleasant personality to match!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HOLLIES!!!

[christianphi]

what's that song at 1:33

[sapphiretaurus]

@christianphi "I Can't Let Go."

[christianphi]

@sapphiretaurus thanks for the reply i really appreciate it .

[sapphiretaurus]

@christianphi You're welcome!

[mclain8855]

If anybody deserves to be in the rock hall of fame it's these guys. No one had cooler or better sounding harmonies.

[NewHopeNashFan]

Such a fun clip - more of what you love the Hollies for at the beginning! Especially young Nash singing up in the stratosphere in my case....

[jhdsylv]

I absolutely love the first 3:30 of this clip! What an absolutely amazing band! I thought it was odd though that no video of Terry was included. After all, he was with the Hollies twice as long as Graham was. Anyhow, they've finally made it!!!

[TheOtherFifthBeatle]

I love Allan Clarke.

[sapphiretaurus]

@TheOtherFifthBeatle You're in good company!

[lyndloo]

I Love you All and thank you for all those Great songs and Great mems you have given Me thru me teen years .. you are wonderful !I will never forget you ..God Bless x hugs ..Lyndloo..

[veraluciasc]

Amazing display of various clips of The Hollies!!!

Congratulations to each member of the group, much deserved this award.

[fumetti]

What a fantastic montage!!

[sapphiretaurus]

@fumetti I wish it was longer, but I can't complain. At least the Hollies got in.

[fumetti]

Wondering why Michael Rickfors was not there...he was there for an album and a few singles.

[sapphiretaurus]

@fumetti Mikael said he wasn't invited.

[ladybluluv]

I loved that montage footage they put together....great moments for sure. There were so many...must have been hard to choose which ones to use. I'm so so happy for them! Thanks for posting this and all the Hollies footage from the RRHOF. They SO deserved this honor...every one of them.

[luvsmuzik1]

OMG !!! That musical montage..should prove to everyone the greatess of this awesome band !!

[faeryquene]

I didn't see Terry Sylvester in the montage footage. :(

[fumetti]

Most of the clips were pre 1967 that is why.

[faeryquene]

Yes I could see that-but it was insulting to Terry to not show at least a clip or two post-Graham Nash. Terry was very much a part of the group when they had their later hits.

[faeryquene]

Thank you soooo much for posting this sapphiretaurus!! I grieved when I found out our local cable station did not carry the channel showing the RHOF inductions!! I really wish they could have all been there especially my fave Tony Hick-but I understand when you have a previous commitment you should honor it. Congrats to The Hollies!! Well done boys! And well deserved-long past due. :)

♫♪

[loralie5974]

okay, pardon me for being a dummy but can someone tell me what they are bleeping out?

Thanks btw for posting.

[sapphiretaurus]

@loralie5974 He keeps saying, "bullshit."

[sapphiretaurus]

@loralie5974 P.S. You're welcome!

[cookmoore]

Thank you!

NIce to hear some wisdom from Steven even though he may digress a bit too much :)

[faeryquene]

'a bit too much'?? Understatement of the year. The man went on and on-and on about everything BUT The Hollies for minutes on end.

[Poopaloo55]

This is the ultimate!!! Of course I'll be returning to 1:54...how cute is that?

A very fitting and well-made tribute. Thanks for another treasure, Vrinda.

[sapphiretaurus]

@Poopaloo55 Downright adorable! I love that Mancunian accent!

[veraluciasc]

@Poopaloo55

Linda, look at 2:48

What envy of harmonica...!

[Poopaloo55]

@veraluciasc

That's not a harmonica...It's me!!!

[veraluciasc]

@Poopaloo55

hummmmmm, let's share it...lol

[citybeat60]

Whoever created that Hollies montage did a really nice job. Thanks so much Vrinda for uploading this fantastic footage.

[carrieanne1967]

Thanks so much Vrinda - Great clips and rarities to - Cheers Hon !!

[vrouwkje]

Thanks for all the parts you posted!!!

The Hollies are great. I saw them live 2 years ago and they still GREAT!!!!

5*

[mikelandonsgirl]

Thanks for posting this!! Glad The Hollies got inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame! They're one of my favorite bands!

[sapphiretaurus]

@mikelandonsgirl You're welcome, Gaby! The Hollies rock!

[peterdchecksfield]

Thanks again Vrinda! Very nice introductory film...& I don't recognise that brief clip of 'He Ain't Heavy', in this something "new" to us?

[sapphiretaurus]

@peterdchecksfield You're welcome, Peter. I love this montage. I don't know where that "He Aint Heavy" clip came from, either. Maybe someone on here knows.

[katdowli]

There are some great clips here, I've never seen that Allan interview clip before or that concert footage of him with a harmonica I wonder where they are from. I like it that there are some of my favourite Hollies clips featured here such as the Beat Beat Beat footage and the I Can't Let Go promo. Thanks for posting this extra bit Vrinda :)

[sapphiretaurus]

@katdowli Thanks, Kat! I'd like to know where those clips came from, too. I liked how they included the Shindig clips where they're being introduced, and Frankie Avalon's introduction.

[katdowli]

@sapphiretaurus and of course :30 and the 'I want you baby' moment at 1:39 ;) I wonder if anyone on here knows where those clips are from and if there is any more footage of them about. I was impressed they included songs like Pay You Back With Interest and Little Lover too.

[sapphiretaurus]

@katdowli Two very sexy moments indeed. I didn't expect the "I want you, baby" part to come up, either!

[roots66]

Of all the interview snippets they could have chosen, though, they picked one that perpetuates the "Graham never plugged in" myth...I hope Nashie was able to laugh that one off!

[NewHopeNashFan]

Aw... Nashie is a good sport.... *S* So nice to see him glow with pride in his best Hollies pal, the one and only Clarkey. Besides, it's nice to see him in there twice!

[roots66]

@NewHopeNashFan Perhaps the guys who edited it together just wanted to give some kinda shout-out to absent recipients...

[katdowli]

@roots66 Very true :) I'm sure he did, he wouldn't have been as close to Allan if he didn't laugh it off.

[citybeat60]

@katdowli

Graham's the man. Okay, he's the other man, lol. ;)
