..Totally agree/concur with you there!! Those guys,were born to sing together like that in that 65-67 era! This was popular right after "On A Carousel, May/June 1967, as we relocated to Arizona from NY. Again, what a group!!
..There will never be another Manchester-based great group like the mid-60's Hollies, with Nash, Clark, Hicks, backed by great drumming via Bob Elliott and good bass-playing by either Eric Haydock or Bernie Calvert!! What a group! Wished I could've seen this incarnation in concert!! Sam Burkes, Hollies fan
@@lilajagears8317 Great songs indeed, but not really due to Terry Sylvester's contribution. That being said, I think he ably filled Graham's shoes w the high harmonies during his tenure w the band.
@@shannonlucas2980 Yes, true this is..But as I may have stated before, he was a great stopgap replacement..but he was no Graham Nash! Tho they did have a few hits with Sylvester afterwards. You couldntve said it better!!
So. so very true indeed! Nash had an unbelievably clear, precise range in the upper vocal registers, his pitch/intonation/vocal blend were near perfect, if not so!!
Song was written by Graham Nash about Marianne Faithfull who had had a short fling with band member Allen Clarke. He changed the name title to not be so obvious; I first heard this lovely catchy tune in grade school and fell in love with it… from one Mari Ann to another🌸 😻
I think this is the only group left from the 60s that all the original members are still alive.To bad they don't get back and do a few shows they were and still are one of the best bands ever.
Killer stuff! I laughed so much during the interlude when they all started walking around the stage, looking for the source of the Caribbean steel drums! Allan checking the inside of his pants was unexpected, but only he could make it look amuzing. Thanks, Lynn!
..Irene Downie, I certainly cannot refute that!! I wished I could ve had the opportunity to see this great, iconic British group live in concert..but, Alas, didnt!!
Graham William Nash, OBE (born 2 February 1942) is a British singer-songwriter known for his light tenor vocals and for his songwriting contributions with the British pop group The Hollies, and with the folk-rock band Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Nash is a photography collector and a published photographer. Nash was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Crosby, Stills & Nash and as a member of The Hollies in 2010.
THis group was soo talented.... I dont have to tell anyone here , Alan Clark, great lead vocals..and with Grahm's higher voice They were something, ,, At Times Im awestruck at all the great bands/ music we had in the 60's. THis was certainly one of the Great ones.
Graham Nash had the rare distinction of performing in two acts that were among the most instantly recognizable in music history. I'll let go that he muffed it here.
Maybe the best 'band' of the decade... i mean drummer, guitarist and the vocals. of course The Beatles are my fav band ever, im just saying these guys were great at many levels. when it came to musicians...well
I admire the band for sure. The vocals are what made the band. I think The Who were the best musicians. I'll tell you why. The band was innovating a different way of playing. Moon would have his drum parts going all over, Entwistle later on would improvise almost lead guitar riffs vs. bass. Pete Townshend had to show the audience where the beat in everything was, by slamming on those chords. I can't think of another band structured like that for that period of time. Townshend was quite a smart musician, smart enough to play the way and songwrite the way he did.
What wonderful clear sound and video from Croatia, no less! And amusing interruptions too! Wonderful video. Their harmony sounds wonderful, really crisp and striking. An underrated band. I think Nash should have stuck with them. CSN's profound hippie musings don't age as well as these dumb innocent jewels.
Wonderful recording. Judging by Graham's comments and body language, The Hollies weren't well-known in Croatia. Fabulous piece of nostalgia. Nash/Clarke vocals are so distinctive.
Yea … the "high" life in Laurel Canyon. He said he went there because he felt "right-at-home". OMG. I bet he felt right at home in the arms of a certain lady that he wrote a song about their living arrangements. He should have stayed with the, The Hollies. True Crosby, Stills, and Nash (and then Young) were an incredible group and made an indelible mark on the music scene but I feel the Hollies were the same. Terry Sylvester was good but let's be hones he wasn't no Graham Nash.
I've been to concerts like this one! Oh Joey, how he I love the Hollies. Pitch and movement towards the Greatest Good, a little rock number, Carrie Anne Carrie AAAnne
Very underated and belong in the HOF. Tight and great vocals and guitars. We will not see their likes again. Todays bands can't do it, to busy getting tatoos and body piercings.
Very weird--did they play that steel-drum interlude tape everytime they did the song live? Reminds me of the "Live at the BBC" version of "Hard Day's Night" with an obvious splice of the guitar solo from the original record--wacky!!! And Allan looking down his trousers is pretty damn raunchy for 1968 television!
you're not kidding. i am doing a gig backing Terry Sylvester, who'll be doing Hollies tunes ( and a few other things ) ....i have been assigned to cover Mr. Nash's parts.....wow. just .....wow.
Funny, Allen looking down his pants for the steel drum. That’s really pretty racy for 1968.A performance that well done not lip-syncing is amazing in its self.
thnx, lynn - just precious - all of them! yes, Tony, i do still love you!! this whole concert puts me in such a good mood every time i watch it. : ) that tony-tease bit and the drums-down-the-pants gag was always good for a laugh!! i love how they just ad-lib and play off each other throughout ! bjkatt7 and chriscurtisfan - ur not alone ; ) what a priceless performance - top notch, HOLLIES!!! - kc
Thanks Lynn, I loved see each of the videos that postou. For me that I am fan of the Hollies Allan Clarke and especially loved to see him talk, play and make a show of talent with his interpretation and voice magic. Obrigada Lynn, adorei ver cada um dos vídeos que postou..Para mim que sou fã dos Hollies e principalmente do ALLAN CLARKE adorei ver ele falar, brincar e dar um show de interpretação e talento com sua voz mágica.
2:04 allan clarke:oh shoot. tony hicks: who is doing that?. bobby eliott: probably nothing. bernie calvert: something's wrong here. graham nash: am i doing that?..
Graham Nash seems to be exceedingly, errrm, of altered consciousness during this Croatian live TV gig; early '68, I'd venture speedballs (50/50 mix Heroin/Cocaine) and his customary weed, especially as he appears to have forgotten half of his verse, and the symptoms (that strange behaviour, very different to Dave Crosby's obvious cocaine-fuelled performances during the 60s, 70s and 80s - he had to do rehab so many times, often Court-ordered -) of such a mixture of drugs are pretty obvious if you know what you're looking for! One thing about Mr Nash though is that his high tenor rarely, if ever wavered, no matter in what condition he would take to the stage. Sublime voice and his 3-part vocal harmony arrangements, originally with Tony Hicks, then the Masters of the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield, never ceased to improve. Check his solo album 'Songs for Beginners', which he had been wanting to do since even before the Hollies hit the big-time; you can hear a decade's worth of influences and writing practice in almost every song, and that lush third verse of 'Wounded Bird' hit every spot he'd been working to hit up until then. Anyone know for sure what his 'poison' was at this time (I think this was recorded in Feb 1968)?
Whoa! Great video. Nice to them live. It's great to see these old videos on the net & I learn so much! I never knew Graham Nash sang with the Hollies. is that THE Graham Nash that sang with Steels & Crosby ? Thanks for this video. Neat to see them improvise & clown around, rather than just stand still & strum .
The "hey, Carrie Anne" harmony Graham Nash sings in the intro is amazing. I've not heard many groups with singers as talented as him. 0:33

Sam Burkes, Hollies fan
Bobby Elliott, one of the most underrated drummers in pop history
Star man
He could have (and should have?) replaced Keith Moon - he was and is a phenomenal drummer!
Definitely
Agree there too, his snare, tom-tom fills are impeccably quintessential!! Very under-rated drummer! His timing is unbeatable!!
Tony Hicks is just So cute and talented.
It's all about the harmonies!
It's awesome hearing this live, you just couldn't replace that angelic voice of Graham later when he left.
The air that I breath and long cool woman were both great songs.
@@lilajagears8317 Great songs indeed, but not really due to Terry Sylvester's contribution. That being said, I think he ably filled Graham's shoes w the high harmonies during his tenure w the band.

Tony is seriously just the cutest thing ever.
Song was written by Graham Nash about Marianne Faithfull who had had a short fling with band member Allen Clarke. He changed the name title to not be so obvious; I first heard this lovely catchy tune in grade school and fell in love with it…
from one Mari Ann to another🌸
😻
Seeing Graham Nash tonight (March 2022) outside Philadelphia....i.e. a visit to The Musical Pantheon....wild with anticipation.....
I think this is the only group left from the 60s that all the original members are still alive.To bad they don't get back and do a few shows they were and still are one of the best bands ever.
I think I've loved Allan Clarke all my life!
Drummers don't come much better than Bobby Elliott!
Underrated as hell
Clapping tony when he was singing hahaha epic
The Hollies of the 60s were a great sounding group. Fantastic footage of the band.
I watched this just to hear Tony Hicks sing.
I just love the raw sound of these early bands.
Killer stuff! I laughed so much during the interlude when they all started walking around the stage, looking for the source of the Caribbean steel drums! Allan checking the inside of his pants was unexpected, but only he could make it look amuzing. Thanks, Lynn!
Love this video! So much fun to watch it. And when Tony sings his part... Just gorgeous! He is so damn cute!!!!
I remember they were known as a “groups’ group”, and it’s no wonder. They’re so good!
..Irene Downie, I certainly cannot refute that!! I wished I could ve had the opportunity to see this great, iconic British group live in concert..but, Alas, didnt!!
I would love to hear modern bands try these harmonies.
Honestly, I don't know what you're talking about o.O ... Tony looks so cute with that haircut, and no matter what, he looks perfect all the time...
The ones who gave this video a thumbs down. Does not know what real good music is.

Agree, He's a Wildman on the Drums, Love It!!!
I fuhking LOVE the Hollies, Dave Clark Five, The Turtles, and the Animals all soooo much more than the Beatles whom I also love.
THis group was soo talented.... I dont have to tell anyone here , Alan Clark, great lead vocals..and with Grahm's higher voice They were something, ,, At Times Im awestruck at all the great bands/ music we had in the 60's. THis was certainly one of the Great ones.

Yes, you're right. Allan Clarke sings the first verse, Tony Hicks sings the second one and Graham Nash sings the last one
Listen to those harmonies. This was back when you had to have talent to play music.
Some technical difficulties (i.e. Tony's mic) but still....magic.
this is so perfect finally one you can tell is live....and I love that they're having fun!
Fantastic! Live and those vocals! Real talents!
My god listen to those harmonies, bands nowadays just cant cut the mustard. Once that generation go, that is the last of the rock stars cannae beat it
Tony Hicks was soooo cute
Great drumming by Bobby Elliott.
Great drumming but good to see that they could have a laugh on stage when the steel drum loop kicked in
TONY A PEPPERONI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NICE!!!!!! GOOD JOB BUDDY
Thank you SO very much for sharing this!!! First live Hollies version of 'CarrieAnn' that I've seen. :)
Tony's a cutie.♥
Graham Nash in 1968. Wow! What a hottie!
That ending always kills me, with Graham going so high. They had the most lovely harmonies. I love those songs to this day .
Maybe the best 'band' of the decade... i mean drummer, guitarist and the vocals. of course The Beatles are my fav band ever, im just saying these guys were great at many levels. when it came to musicians...well

Great pop song. Marianne Faithfull: take a bow.
Imagine that! Marianne Faithfull was a beautiful young woman in the 60s with an older man. She's still beautiful today.
@krsongs You would have been wrong. Tony Hicks is the most charming guy on the stage.
I love the Hollies, how can you not?
Absolutely perfect drum fills thruout!
2:04 I love how Graham immediately looks in his guitar XD GOD I LOVE YOU GRAHAM
What wonderful clear sound and video from Croatia, no less! And amusing interruptions too! Wonderful video. Their harmony sounds wonderful, really crisp and striking. An underrated band. I think Nash should have stuck with them. CSN's profound hippie musings don't age as well as these dumb innocent jewels.
2:03 i love how they look so suprised
God what a voice Graham Nash has.......
♥ ♥ ♥ Tony Hicks ♥ ♥ ♥
me gustan mucho, sobre todo en el 67, feliz 50 aniversario junto al Sgt. Peppers!
What a voices!!! And that live!!! Wonderful 🫶🙏
Wonderful recording. Judging by Graham's comments and body language, The Hollies weren't well-known in Croatia.
Fabulous piece of nostalgia.
Nash/Clarke vocals are so distinctive.
@bjkatt7 be assured you are not the only one!!! LOL!! Tony is just precious!
What a fun performance!
so terrific, oh wow. this song makes me go to magical realms.
wow!!!
Great song 🎵
I had the single and the fabulous album, “Evolution “, which was very creative for perpetually changing pop music scene. Check it out!
Nash could really sing !
.........................priceless!
Graham Nash, "We're like to finish off, thank God" Seemed like he already had thoughts of trading in his tuxedo for a life in laurel canyon.
Yea … the "high" life in Laurel Canyon. He said he went there because he felt "right-at-home". OMG. I bet he felt right at home in the arms of a certain lady that he wrote a song about their living arrangements. He should have stayed with the, The Hollies. True Crosby, Stills, and Nash (and then Young) were an incredible group and made an indelible mark on the music scene but I feel the Hollies were the same. Terry Sylvester was good but let's be hones he wasn't no Graham Nash.
When that steel drum kicks in, it all becomes so funny.
Can we do one more song before we go? Hell yea! :)
I've been to concerts like this one! Oh Joey, how he I love the Hollies. Pitch and movement towards the Greatest Good, a little rock number, Carrie Anne Carrie AAAnne
Allan Clarke’s voice is the one I notice most.
i could tell they had problems with their sound system. But over all, the song was a hit.
Hilarious--I love them looking for the steel drums! I'm so glad this was posted!!
Que música legal!!!!!
@krsongs Tony looked just perfect, as he always did!! They were all goofing around and having a great time. This was a lot of fun to watch and hear!
Very underated and belong in the HOF. Tight and great vocals and guitars. We will not see their likes again. Todays bands can't do it, to busy getting tatoos and body piercings.
Ha!Good one…
2:18 LOL Singer looking for 'ghost' Steel drum checks inside his pants. Great stuff!!

I love this warts and all.
Oh I like this so lovely so colourful boy
Wot dyou mean with colorful, I wish itgis whole concert was in full color
Ahhh no me canso de ver del min 1:12 al 1:30, me encanta, me encanta Tony y su sonrisa encantadora!! Y cuando se mordia los labios aahhhh..
Cierto, Tony tan dulce, ay también es mi adoración jaja ja
Nash was ready to SPLIT
So funny the solo part XD
Pretty gutsy playing along with a tape but no click track. Some glitches but still more or less compelling!
thnx, lynn - just precious - all of them! yes, Tony, i do still love you!! this whole concert puts me in such a good mood every time i watch it. : ) that tony-tease bit and the drums-down-the-pants gag was always good for a laugh!! i love how they just ad-lib and play off each other throughout ! bjkatt7 and chriscurtisfan - ur not alone ; ) what a priceless performance - top notch, HOLLIES!!! - kc

I love Graham Nash.
In 68 he was close to bailing ou of the Hollies and joining CSNY
Tony
+AKANNE m good point
2:04 allan clarke:oh shoot. tony hicks: who is doing that?. bobby eliott: probably nothing. bernie calvert: something's wrong here. graham nash: am i doing that?..
Bobby Elliot's magic drum fills!
♡♡♡♡
Lol when he checks his pantsin the solo.

Was he really doing speedballs…..that long ago?
They needed to turn Tony's mic up.
Nash-"We have one more song to play *to the others* Thank God."
Whoa! Great video. Nice to them live. It's great to see these old videos on the net & I learn so much! I never knew Graham Nash sang with the Hollies. is that THE Graham Nash that sang with Steels & Crosby ? Thanks for this video. Neat to see them improvise & clown around, rather than just stand still & strum .
Now..what do you think?….Yes,it is the G N that sang with Stills/Crosby/Young….just 1 year later at Woodstock….
Hey there is Graham Nash again.....
@cellularautomata Grahm is playing acustic ,and not plugged in. Only Tony and the bass player are plugged in.
