True, but it makes you expect a totally different song if you've never heard it before. The colour note(s?) used in the intro aren't used anywhere in the song.
I've been playing that riff for over 25 years now and I could never understand, until recently, when earth you could go to the trouble of writing one of the greatest riffs ever only to play it twice in the intro and just forget it.
It is a great song THERE is a LOTTA COOL riffs in THIS song i was blown away when it came out to find out it waz the hollies the VOCAL is aittle more hard sounding that most of there songs great band harmonys are fabulous a me mates?
Hell yeah man! My dad is into classic rock from the 60’s 80’s and 90’s and country and my grandpa loves the oldies. I always tell people some new music is good but too much of the new stuff had filthy in it and a lot of the older music has good rhythm to it and it’s not the same as it used to be. It’s a great thing to appreciate the stuff out parents and grandparents grew up on because I feel even at my age as well 28, I can learn from the older generations!
I'm 53 years old. My earliest memories was my parents cranking this up in the car. No seatbelts. My little brother and I would be going crazy dancing in the back seat. Bouncing everywhere. LOL! I still bounce crazy when I hear this song. Good times!!!!
We don't need no stinking seatbelts! Besides, the vehicles were made of 100% Detroit steel. Plenty of protection. I remember standing on the front seat at "speed" peeing into a Coca Cola bottle because "we're not stopping". Greatness!
I went to suriname on holidays to see nature and stuff, and then it reminded me of louisianna so when we were out fishing I put on green river, long cool woman and run through the jungle. man the atmosphere was great
I’m only 30 I grew up in the 90’s and I thank god everyday for this clasic rock music idk where we would be without the classics, there’s just no more soul in music now days , this is a masterpiece
Would it be Peter Howarth singing this live? He is the current lead singer and guitarist. (Peter has a phenomenal voice and fantastic guitar skills! ❤) It looks like this video was posted here about 4 years ago.
That string slap in the second riff (the response) is the little touch that makes this song a masterpiece. It is such a challenging part that sets apart great guitarists from good ones.
Without a doubt one of THE greatest song intros of any era! It never gets old and no matter where in the song you catch it on radio(even if there’s more static than song) you let it play out. 😎
+Mark Christopher did you all know this is a 100% Hollies song and by no means that their producer (who was ill by then) did not participate in this, no tips, no suggestions, no comments, just the band doing what they always wanted to do at studio and recording the way it is lololol I think that's why this song particularly sounds a lot ahead by it's time
Мне тоже было 67 в 2023 году, сейчас чуть больше😊, но я обожаю музыку 60-70 годов, слушаю каждый день, это уже ритуал. Техника игры музыка, исполнение- высший пилотаж!!!
The kinks & the Small Faces were the 2 bands that were Outstanding mid-sixties. I was really into them in my very early teens. Most bands worked real hard then for their audience & vinyl sales - really appreciated them for their output. Thanks for upping this track, You Tube, JaneR
When I was a kid, my dad used to listen and dance to this song. The vibration of the song and seeing my dad dance gave a big satisfaction. Love this song!!!!
The best, absolutely THE BEST song ever written. That opening guitar riff is instantly recognizable by anyone who grew up in the 60's and 70's. As a friend said "A guitar riff so dirty it needs penicillin." which sums it up perfectly. LOVE IT!
I started playing guitar when I was real little! I was born in '68 and all I could really learn was country music cuz that's what my dad played on the guitar and banjo but when I would hear this song on the radio man it would blow me away I always wanted to learn how to play it! The song is very haunting!! It has like a pedal tone in it so it's melodic and you catch it but the way those notes are played so it resonates and it just sticks in your brain! One of the coolest guitar riffs ever sort of reminiscent of blue oysters Cult Don't fear the reaper. That song has a recurring open G note third string that makes it haunting! Long story short I finally got to learn this song had a hog roast party! I had my Randall snakeskin stacked there and another guitar player and kid had his crate amplifier and we were having like a duel! Ironically the only song he knew how to play was Long Cool woman in a Black dress and I learned it off of him so that was really cool! Take care and keep rocking!🐢🐢
My dad just passed away last month, the day after his 75th birthday due to cancer. He loved this song. Heard it many times as a kid riding around in his truck. Hearing it here again just brought me to tears because of him. What a rocking song, it’s not even from my era but it’s great.
Here’s to your dad friend. Good legends never die. They live on in our hearts and songs. Play it for him every now and then, he’ll be there right beside you, wind in your hair in his old truck.
I was 21-22 years old, my best friends sister was hospitalized for leukemia and about to go through with the bone marrow transplant. Needless to say, the night before the transplant she had an adverse reaction to the anesthesia and went into cardiac arrest. She had just had her 18th birthday days before she passed. Her death destroyed her families lives. It was such a great loss that my best friend, her older brother, never got over it. He died the week of Hurricane Sandy. This song brings me back 3 decades to the funeral home for her viewing. She was such a great girl. A very beautiful girl. A star amongst us I can't help but be reminded of her and my best friend whenever I hear this song .....

I lived in a small town and had just had my induction physical and was told I was fit mentally and physically to serve. I had about 2 weeks before I reported back to the Armed Forces Entry Station. There was a small metal building in the next county we called the "The Sit down" they sold beer by the mug at 25 cents each. My buddies took me to the sit down before I left and this song was on the juke box and was played just about every other song. I sat in a metal folding chair and drank my mugs of beer. When I reached the point of not being able to walk I would just hold up my empty mug and a buddy would come by get my mug and have it filled up and bring it back to me. This song every time I hear it is like a flashback to that night. It was played over and over and that night and this song is burned into my brain !!

can't even make a song like this anymore. a timeless yet heavy dated sound that predates the band that created it.... truly a master piece just like air that i breathe!
It hypnotized me when I was 10 years old the first time I heard it. Now half a century later I enjoy it just as much it has become part of me, because I have carried it with me through everything.
@@Martell-XOnope. CCR was a band from a rich part of San Francisco. They imitated blues from the bayou. And I love their music, and perhaps they developed as contemporaries but never copied.
These guys are pure utter magic , what delights they gave us all through the 60s era Their harmonies are to die for ,, ive adored them since their beginning thats a long time lol x
Reminds me of a dear buddy that I met in 1972 when this song came out. He’s passed away now but I think of him whenever I hear this song. Bittersweet 🙏
I love this song...been looking for this song! I'm a 65 yr old Black woman...finally found it by asking a random woman sitting at the bar...2024, still listening 😎🙋🏽♀️🎸🎙️🎶👩🏽🎤🎵🎧📻
Love this song! I always liked it, but my late dad loved it and now all I need to hear is a few opening chords to know I'm about to listen to one of the greatest classic rock songs ever. Dad, it's still great and I hope you can listen where you are too.
Who do you think would be a great Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress: 1-Christina Hendricks 2-Charlize Theron 3'Catherine Zeta-Jones Douglas 4Marcia Cross
This was my favorite rock song in '72, when I was 10. It packed just the right punch and had just the right hook line, guitar riffs and drumming to make it an all-around rock classic (though I detect a few chords stolen from the Kinks' "Last of the Steam Powered Trains"), and 50 years later it still sounds great. Thanks for reviving this gem!
Those who don't like it is not a waste of skin,,,that's it and I carry full responsiblity for my words ,,,because such people are the reason for deteriorating music that we currently experiance
Plain and simply the baddest white boy jam of all time. The only thing wrong with this post is this isn't the longest version of the cut. This is one of those songs where one and only one version should be available to the public. The long version, because that's perfection
production was so ahead of the curve on this one...drum sound was huge for a song in early 70s...everything works on this song...vocals are insanely good...this is what a lead singer does...knocks you off your feet
Im 42 raised by a mother and father that took me too Thompson Bowling Arena as a kid.....I seen greats but unfortunately missed out on some legends and greats as well.....Amazing music. Dr. Hook Heart SHIT THIS TAKE 100 YEARS! We rockers know the legends
I was ten years old when this song came out October the 8th 1971 right on my birthday such great memories and music back in the day, but this song I'll never forget.

That opening riff is still one of the best sounding of all time
Damn skippy it is!!! 🤘👍
Think this is my favourite Hollies song
That Opening Riff ,..Even the Force is Moved by that...or is that the FORCE manifesting in that Opening Riff ❤.😅
True, but it makes you expect a totally different song if you've never heard it before.
The colour note(s?) used in the intro aren't used anywhere in the song.
. lol
That opening riff is one of the best in classic rock. Inspired many to pick up a guitar.
I still get a shiver up my spine when I hear it!
I really love the music my dad used to get drunk to. 😭 Thanks truama.
I've been playing that riff for over 25 years now and I could never understand, until recently, when earth you could go to the trouble of writing one of the greatest riffs ever only to play it twice in the intro and just forget it.
Simple was always better. Best song they ever did, once they stopped being a pop band in the 60s.
It is a great song THERE is a LOTTA COOL riffs in THIS song i was blown away when it came out to find out it waz the hollies the VOCAL is aittle more hard sounding that most of there songs great band harmonys are fabulous a me mates?
The music, the lyrics, that voice, everything about this song is so perfect
Right...
And i have it signed!
So cool! Reveling in those days long past as I hear this wonderful song.
I still can't understand most of the lyric, no idea what happens but love the song anyway
That reverb on the vocals gives it extra power
I just turned 31. I’ve been listening to rock and roll since a little kid. With everything I know, I can say this is one of the best of all time.
You GOT a GREAT EAR and a superb sense of Rhythm - have a listen to "Bang A Gong" - if NOT familiar !!! (about the same period in time)
😮
No S***, I'm 23 Years old and I love this kind of Rock Music lol ...
说得真好
I'm 28. I'm greatful that my dad turned me on to good rock n roll. Classic rock will forever be timeless ✌️
I agree! My older brothers did it for me & it's still my favorite music!

I'm 53 years old. My earliest memories was my parents cranking this up in the car. No seatbelts. My little brother and I would be going crazy dancing in the back seat. Bouncing everywhere. LOL! I still bounce crazy when I hear this song. Good times!!!!
We don't need no stinking seatbelts! Besides, the vehicles were made of 100% Detroit steel. Plenty of protection.
I remember standing on the front seat at "speed" peeing into a Coca Cola bottle because "we're not stopping". Greatness!
Me too..
Well after hearing this , I do more than bounce . I move to the beat , words & I dance just like i did in the 60's !

Love this song for the same reasons. Whoo Hoo!
jack white - freedom at 21. check riff of this
The amazing part is that it supposedly is played Allan Clarke instead of Tony Hicks.
The intro is amazing, one of the best!
Ridiculous that this song only reached 32 in the UK charts but hit Number 2 in the USA. The guitar riffs alone are pure gold.
This song was very very very popular in the U.S. from what I remember. Played on the radio a lot !!!
That’s probably cause it’s one of the most American songs ever
got to see the Hollies in the early 70s
Agreed
...the u.k.has always suffered from severe inbreeding.
I’m only 30 I grew up in the 90’s and I thank god everyday for this clasic rock music idk where we would be without the classics, there’s just no more soul in music now days , this is a masterpiece
You nailed Xxred. Music will never be the same! Thank God for classic rock!!!!!!
This song will never get old too me.
Who's with me on that..
✌️😎
ME!!!
Me too! Knew a guy that worke for the FBI and he loved this song. YES, TRUE STORY. 😊! 1:54
Forever
I am on you with that
I am on you with that
This is one of those songs where you get in the car, roll the windows down, crank it up LOUD and just Cruise 🎶🚗
Hell yeah it is! There is a lot of those songs
Blasting it on my Goldwing,takes me back to happy days.
Damn right!!!
SAPEEEEE
don't forget the chick and a beer..
The vocalist has a huge range. He hits high notes with his chest voice, no falsetto. Love them.
I am a vocalist, and was thinking about doing it, but too high. I spent many summers, growing up to these guys, inspiration.
Hollies were awesome?
Graham Nash

The Hollies had soooo many different sounds!!! It's almost as if there were two Hollies groups! What a band they were! Awesome!!
This one is definitely my favorite by the Hollies for sure
yes!!!!! when i hear this song and then He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, my heart is totally moved by their impressive range!!!!
Is this the same hollies that did Kerry Ann? Huge difference if so
Amen. Long Cool, Bus Stop, Carrie Anne, etc
Legit range. I wouldn't have guessed they were the same guy
50 years later, this song still rocks.
A classic.

Sounds a little CCRish, my late husband VOL FF. Thank you First Responder! I like the song!🚒
Timeless classic sung to perfection 😊
This is seriously one of my all-time favorite songs! I have a lot of favorites but, this one just stands out.
Yup especially the intro!!!@;))
Y mía también. La bailaba como una loca, y me transporta totalmente a mi juventud.
in complete agreement Pete
Isn’t that just the way a kick ass piece of music does it for us..🇨🇦
Could the Hollies do anything wrong? I think not. The air that I breathe.
Classic rock and roll is so badass you cant compare it with any other type of music whatsoever
Got that right

Well you can but you might be disappointed...
Don't forget bob seger,like a rock n Hollywood nights

Yes, I'm listening to one of my favorite band...The Hollies 😂 They are a legend.
Should a young person like myself like this old song??
HELL YES!!! ❤
This song is awesome and I can 27 and like it. This song will go well with driving an old classic Camaro from the 60's cars like that
YESSS!
anyone who doesn't like a song just because it's a bit old is an imbecile.
Hell no
Heaven Yes
👏 OF COURSE! It shows you have AMAZING taste in music! Be PROUD and GLAD you LIKE it! 👏 😊
The transition from the start to the main melody is so smooth
These guys are pure utter magic , what delights they gave us all through the 60s era Their harmonies are to die for ,, ive adored them since their beginning thats a long time lol x
Reminds me of a dear buddy that I met in 1972 when this song came out. He’s passed away now but I think of him whenever I hear this song.
Bittersweet 🙏
You can't help but love the Bass playing in this song is excellent
I love this song...been looking for this song! I'm a 65 yr old Black woman...finally found it by asking a random woman sitting at the bar...2024, still listening 😎🙋🏽♀️🎸🎙️🎶👩🏽🎤🎵🎧📻
Same here! I love Vietnam war era music!
🆘 Hallo Mother and Father of all creation are here on earth in person showing the way , healing, phone home today🎉
Why do you have to put "black"
What's the purpose for that?
Because she wanted to
Great dance music
Classic. Love this. Never gets old. This was in the film 'Remember the Titans' with Denzel Washington.
Great song great music great bass....timeless classic
Nothing beats old school golden oldies... Reminds me of my wonderful father. ❤️
I liked the B-side, a long black woman in a cool dress😂
My older brothers played this great song. I still love the music from the late 60s and 70s. I'm in a time warp! But, that music was the best! 🙂
My words EXACTLY
This song is totally awesome!!! Ultimate classic rock song.
Love this song! I always liked it, but my late dad loved it and now all I need to hear is a few opening chords to know I'm about to listen to one of the greatest classic rock songs ever. Dad, it's still great and I hope you can listen where you are too.
God bless you sorry to hear about your loss but he's still here with you
Great Posting & live this music through Him !
Your dad is still rockin to this tune, just as much as you are... keep the faith!!!
Hard to believe this song is 51 years old. I graduated high school that year and still love this.
One of the best songs, around the world🤣🤣🤣

@@DefJamGlycerine Sounds good to me.
Decades later, and this song is even cooler now. Love it!
Isn't that great! Too bad we won't say it about today's music!
The song has always been hip and cool.
It was inspired by CCR’s “Green River”, swamp rock.
It has that sound, but it’s got its own thing… a great song
@@cl5619 Really? I'm a BIG Creedence fan. It's nice when great musicians recognize & inspire one another.
It sure better... 💃🕺
@@vickiri2475 Bring BACK THEM 70s
One of the most amazing guitar intros I've ever heard. It's just SO COOL !!! 😎 😂
One of the most underrated songs/bands/singers of all time. Allan Clarke and the Hollies were some of the best
2:35 2:37
Another great song that, absolutely, deserves to be blasted loud when played.
This was my favorite rock song in '72, when I was 10. It packed just the right punch and had just the right hook line, guitar riffs and drumming to make it an all-around rock classic (though I detect a few chords stolen from the Kinks' "Last of the Steam Powered Trains"), and 50 years later it still sounds great. Thanks for reviving this gem!
i was on my third tour in Vietnam in 1972 while listing to this i a bar in Saigon
@@sidmarquez4771 welcome home, thank you for your service and sacrifice
This is one my favorite classic rock songs of all time! So many good songs they wrote.
Rock n roll will never die today's music is so dull.
So dull & so satinic. (sp? - I never spell that losers name correctly. he gets no respect from me)
Ladies and gentlemen boys and girls this is what real music sounds like. Those who don't like it has no taste in music.
Agreed 👍
For real
OK boomer. I like the song but your comment is pure cringe.
@Owen-hg3cu yep I dig this and Metallica too
Those who don't like it is not a waste of skin,,,that's it and I carry full responsiblity for my words ,,,because such people are the reason for deteriorating music that we currently experiance
This song just makes you feel better. It is absolutely amazing!!!!
Plain and simply the baddest white boy jam of all time. The only thing wrong with this post is this isn't the longest version of the cut. This is one of those songs where one and only one version should be available to the public. The long version, because that's perfection
That opening riff is just..... Perfection!
production was so ahead of the curve on this one...drum sound was huge for a song in early 70s...everything works on this song...vocals are insanely good...this is what a lead singer does...knocks you off your feet
My Mama is 80 years young and loves this song!!!!
This song lives rent free in my brain! That goddam riff is iconic 🤘
This song rocks on after all these years. Classics don't die, THEY BECOME LEGENDS!.
My Grandma’s favorite song
She would dance every time lol
I’m playing this for her
She’s passing to the other side today 😢
Sorry for your loss😢 she is better now !!
Sorry for your lost. She rest in peace.❤
And she's dancing all the way😊😊😊
Sending love and prayers

Yesss❤
I am a Legend too .. Brittany france ..

This song is awesome & timeless…
U got that right 😊
I can listen to classic rock and roll for hours with no hesitation
me too...
This song has long been on a very short list of my all time favorite R&R songs. Everything about it is brilliant.
I was looking EVERYWHERE for this song because I heard it in a truck song in 2014. So happy I found it, I've been looking for years for this song.
My favorite song of all time! Love to listen to this song while cruising in my 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo SS.
My '71 Mach 1
I was ten years old when this song came out October the 8th 1971 right on my birthday such great memories and music back in the day, but this song I'll never forget.
I was 13 so same here on remembering when it came out
Man how cool. I was born oct 8th 1994 and this is one of my all time favorite songs
I was 9 n loved rock even then, listening to my uncles play their rock music, esp CCR*
La buena musica, lo es casi... todo. Cosa que se extinguió en los 90's.
I was 13, and I fell in love with the song immediately!!! What a great time to be a teenager!!!
Brings back memories & makes my feet want to dance - love the beat
This sound and this era of music will never be beat. They nailed it. This is music
And this beauty has fell on my ears yet again ❤
Summer vacations from school listening to this was priceless . Simpler time .
