One of those sounds that amazed this ten years old. I remember seeing them perform this on TV and thought the Beatles had better watch out. Ha ha. Still grabs me by the throat every time.

Su I know how you feel. I have always wanted a time machine, and if I got one I would go back to my teenage years of the 60s and all the fantastic music. If I get one, wanna come with me?
I like how human Nash is in describing his disappointment in not having that woman and feeling that others could tell - something that everyone can relate to. My thoughts too on hearing a song like this.
Of course it’s all opinion , but I’ve never thought George Harrison was close to being as good as Tony Hicks, very few in the 60’s were . HIcks had a rare talent for his day.
Loved the song and now to know what it really means is touching. Kinda like how all us girls felt about watching you studs in person belting out your awesome music. 😁❤️👍🏻🤘🏻. Just saying....😁 😘🤪
Yep, and as soon as the song finishes, Tony gladly swaps the "TRUCK" for a sunburst '59 Les Paul Standard, dangerously leaning against a German Echolette amp. Had he known that 55 years later, that Les Paul would be worth a million dollars, he might have used a stand.
Guys, you ARE absolute legends and have been a great part of the rock scene for ever. Loved this video but as mentioned elsewhere the guitar is not a very good replacement for Tony's banjo!
Lyndon Powell : Yep, a Vox Phantom XII, and leaning against his German made Echolette amp, waiting patiently to be picked up for the next song, is a '59 Gibson Les Paul Standard. Discontinued in 1960 through lack of sales, this model could be picked up in pawnshops for as little as a hundred and fifty bucks. Had Tony known it would be worth at least half a million dollars fifty years later, he might have considered putting it in a stand. Then again, proper guitar stands hadn't even been invented in 1966.
Why does every one of Tony's Banjo/Banjo-like instruments, have the Bridge radically cocked counter-clockwise, which no doubt throws the intonation points WAY outta "Whack"??? Hey Tony, if you want a good Luthier to sort things out, I'm available!!
Hicks is great but that “banjo” he played back in the dya wasnt a real banjo. It was a guitar tuned like a banjo. There was a thing made for guitar players who couldnt take time to learn banjo or whatevr, it looked like. Banjo but it was tuned and played like a guitar. 5 string banjo aint that hard to learn. That othre thing he has is a 4 string banjo. Nevr seen one.
My son plays banjo. I sent him a picture of a banjo hanging on wall at a restaurant. It was a four string. Its a tenor banjo. He told me it is usually used in Irish music.
Absolutely right, and I believe he wasnt the easiest guy to be with. There's a telling youtube clip of The Hollies on American Bandstand from 1984 when they were back with Nash and when Dick Clark asks the band if it was difficult when Allan Clarke left the band, Tony jumps in and says something along the lines of 'no, it was a relief!'
Hollies musical explosion was in Romany era since they started producing their own material, by the time Allan left, Ron Richards had lost some interest in the band in fact they were a thousand times better (and kinda free) than n their prior works but that wasn't Clarke's fault. Distant Light is like their Romany pt1.
Talk about other peoples perceptions ! Clarke was the Hollies and they would have been nothing without the man. I think your commenting about a man who is in his 70s not the young guy who fronted the band back in the 60's.But if we are into character assassination ....the Hollies grew up and produced their finest work after Graham Nash left.
Tony never got the recognition he deserved extremely underrated and very talented musician up there with the best
Never underrated. Stupid TH-cam term. Well recognized.
Tony Hicks is an incredible musician and singer. Never got the credit he should have.
Tony hicks is very very talented . He deserves more accolades
One of those sounds that amazed this ten years old.
I remember seeing them perform this on TV and thought the Beatles had better watch out. Ha ha. Still grabs me by the throat every time.
Iam with you friend!
Really incredible musician Tony Hicks.
Love the Hollies see them everytime they come to Perth Australia. 3 or 4 times
He's a brilliant guitarist. I am a big fan of The Hollies.
Just love the hollies records.brill x
I have just watched this video and I can't believe nobody has commented on what a great talent Tony Hicks is.
I always loved the song. I never new the story behind it.
Wow nimble fingers. Just love the Hollies
Aside from.The Great Beatles The Hollies was one of the best band of The British Invasion.
Thank the music gods for preserving that old piece of film.
Great guitarist I love the Hollies
Tony is simply Brilliant!
So talented and Tony never got old.
Tony's banjo-playing is fantastic and just watching him play the the banjo is awesome
Tony is not playing a Banjo, It's a 12 Vox Guitar
Gerry Piontek some people Gerry.... better to remain quiet and be judged...haha. You are absolutely right. He never plyed a REAL banjo anyway.
ziblot123 yes he did
Gerry Piontek nope that thing has 4 strings lmao
That's not a banjo Tony Hicks is playing, it's a Vox 12 string. He did play a banjo on the record and many live performances but not this one.
Fantastic band!!! Very underrated
Masterful playing here by Tony.

Tony Hicks ist ein Supergitarrist und war immer ein Schlüsselmusiker bei den Hollies.
Love Tony! ❤
I wish I was back there. Just for awhile. 💜
Or FOREVER--at least till the LORD comes back!!!
Su I know how you feel. I have always wanted a time machine, and if I got one I would go back to my teenage years of the 60s and all the fantastic music. If I get one, wanna come with me?

Great musician !
Remember the original , by never watched Tony play it ,Wow he's amazing
Tony is So creative!
I So agree and he has a Great sense of humor. I just Love him. When I see him, I just feel good.
That was thrilling watching him play that banjo , these boys had talent and Gramn buddy I'm sure you got plenty of wonderful tail!
Sorry. Not a banjo, a 12 string electric guitar.
Allan Clarke rellay good singer
Great song!
What a man. Talent, looks but didn't flaunt either. Tony Hicks
he's a real cutie
Very down to earth
Tony is definitely my favorite Holly....;)
It was certainly an interesting song.
I've always liked that top note on "Stop stop stop", it really screams "I want to get off" ...
Tony is good as George Harrison or Eric Clapton. He did not get the recognition. Keep playing Tony!
Of course it’s all opinion , but I’ve never thought George Harrison was close to being as good as Tony Hicks, very few in the 60’s were . HIcks had a rare talent for his day.
I thought the same thing....;)
I think they were very similar, the main difference is the way their bandmates let them shine through theirs bands popularity -
Loved the song and now to know what it really means is touching. Kinda like how all us girls felt about watching you studs in person belting out your awesome music. 😁❤️👍🏻🤘🏻. Just saying....😁 😘🤪
I've often thought STOP, STOP, STOP was inspired by real life...
Shit Hicks is a genius who knew
Jessie Garcia we did. Tony is awesome...
@@TheStikapos All Hollies fans know!!
Fantastisk 👍👍👍👍
Don’t get better Than this. Born in the 60s I’m still a hippie. Can’t take today rap crap. What happened
Hicks can jam. On a Vox Phantom 12 string. Nash as usual is playing but you can’t hear a thing coming from his guitar.
日本じゃあまりにも低評価なのが残念です😩演奏も上手い‼️
Poor Tony!!! I had one of those VOX, (EKO) Phantom 12ver's, and it played like a "TRUCK"!!
george scarlett : yeah, heard that before, too! The lead guitarist of The Raiders was glad to give his up, too.
Yep, and as soon as the song finishes, Tony gladly swaps the "TRUCK" for a sunburst '59 Les Paul Standard, dangerously leaning against a German Echolette amp. Had he known that 55 years later, that Les Paul would be worth a million dollars, he might have used a stand.
Guys, you ARE absolute legends and have been a great part of the rock scene for ever.

This was a Sexy song, without being gross.
Listen to carousel
the nimblest player ever
very underrated player and band in a funny way?
better than working at ford halewood on the same day, Tony hicks Genius
😍 😍 😍 😍
2:16 😲😲👏
love these guys but I can't help but wonder if the mystery of mr hicks' white shirt and black bow has ever been solved?
It has been. The answer: it was the 60s...
@@b_uppy good enough for me
60s peacock style, very Carnaby St. I've seen Roger Waters of Pink Floyd wore that style too around this same time
Isn’t that a Vox Phantom Guitar Tony is playing in the vid,certainly looks like one I had back in the day.
Vox Phantom XII, it is!
Lyndon Powell : Yep, a Vox Phantom XII, and leaning against his German made Echolette amp, waiting patiently to be picked up for the next song, is a '59 Gibson Les Paul Standard. Discontinued in 1960 through lack of sales, this model could be picked up in pawnshops for as little as a hundred and fifty bucks.

Yes it is
Proper drummer ...pissed all over the Beatles
I don't care for McCaryney anyway xd just Harrison Lennon and Starkey heyy dont.piss o.f
aki aki ganteng
Why does every one of Tony's Banjo/Banjo-like instruments, have the Bridge radically cocked counter-clockwise, which no doubt throws the intonation points WAY outta "Whack"??? Hey Tony, if you want a good Luthier to sort things out, I'm available!!
tht Bernie calvert at back ?
Yes. He took the bass playing on the previous hit: Bus stop
Hicks is great but that “banjo” he played back in the dya wasnt a real banjo. It was a guitar tuned like a banjo. There was a thing made for guitar players who couldnt take time to learn banjo or whatevr, it looked like. Banjo but it was tuned and played like a guitar. 5 string banjo aint that hard to learn.

Looks like a banjo to me

The Hollies would have been a much better band without Clarke. He was such a stiff with a very awkward presence.
Absolutely right, and I believe he wasnt the easiest guy to be with. There's a telling youtube clip of The Hollies on American Bandstand from 1984 when they were back with Nash and when Dick Clark asks the band if it was difficult when Allan Clarke left the band, Tony jumps in and says something along the lines of 'no, it was a relief!'
Two albums: _Romany_ and _Out On The Road_ ....
There's the evidence to support your statement! ;)
Ah yeh - the time they did that album with Nash ... I'd love to see that video clip! :D
Hollies musical explosion was in Romany era since they started producing their own material, by the time Allan left, Ron Richards had lost some interest in the band in fact they were a thousand times better (and kinda free) than n their prior works but that wasn't Clarke's fault.
