In the 60ties the bands usually sang to full playbacks for TV and such shows. They also didn't really play on their instruments - so you don't see any cables or amps on the stage ;-)
+Eva Roth The Hollies were well-known for being one of the TOPs Live performers (they must have hated doing Playback, specially Graham Nash) HERE I spot in something that preceed the "TV playback trolling" of the likes of bands like Iron maiden, muse, etc as Graham is "playing" Tony's guitar and Tony is "playing" Graham's. not just for once, you can see also this kind of joking around the last year of Nash with them
+Holly Golightly It is fabulous...as always. I don't mind saying though, that I could even watch this all day with the sound off...if you get my drift! ;)
OMGosh it's almost too hard for me to realise I was only 11 (and didn't have as much knowledge of the English language as yet, being Dutch) when I was so into their album "Hollies Sing Dylan", including this treasure version. I still have that album on vinyl !
I love the Hollies version of BITW!! If you don’t like it, move along. No need to be negative. What is it Momma says, “If you can’t say anything nice, then say nothing at all!”!! Good advice!
Good cover! To just think of the times, Graham Nash was the only Hollie to take the habit of smoking pot regularly while the other Hollie members stayed to drinking beer 🍺. Marrakesh Express was rejected by the Hollies for a album of Bob Dylan Covers and Graham didn’t like that because songs like “Blowin in the wind” had big Las Vegas band sounds. Also the fact that they didn’t record new Hollie material got to Nash as well. Also I heard Graham Nash didn’t like the new white touring suites because of the Las Vegas look of them. Also a side note that like The Beach Boys around this time 1968-1969 also changed their touring clothes to white Las Vegas Style performing clothes and I guess it was one thing to stay relevant was to update the performers clothing and the style wasn’t for Graham Nash
I inadvertantly got some kid to purchase a copy of the entire album back in my school days. " Hollies Sing Dylan ". I've largely forgotten how I did that Maybe showed a Hollies EP I picked up somewhere, mentioned this or that, but he didn't purchase " Hollies Sing Dylan " from any retailer about, but he was into something which he figured was ' inside running ', the World Record Club. Special deals, tailor-made orders, and all that '. I think that is what he did. To show his reach. Anyway, he actually ordered that. And it was, ' okay, leave it with me, its your record, and I'll have a listen '. I did not mind this version of " Blowin' In The Wind ". I quite liked the orchestration, in fact. Afficianados would have been " Aww, Jeezers ! ", but I didn't mind it. I figured it for an exemplary and resounding '60s exit.

Surely a rather unpopular opinion, but I heard this version by chance on the car radio this morning and I think it's better than Bob Dylan's and now it's playing on a continuous loop in the office.
Nash should have stayed with The Hollies. CSN was crap next to the Hollies. CSN made about 5-7 good songs in 50 years. It was a drug infused dysfunctional band. Crosby can be very difficult and so can Neil Young. Hollies were much bigger in Britain than CSN.
+lyapis2008 I I'm surprised! The first recording was done by Graham Nash as lead singer, the second one by Allan Clarke after Nash's leaving of the Hollies on the album Hollies sing Dylan. "Blowin' in the wind" has been the b-side of the single "Listen to me". In this video Nash is singing the second voice.
Nash looks fed up, like he doesn't want to be there. Wants to be back in America following his (then) new dream of CSN. Long live CSN - though I love the hollies as well. Just not this song.
For me, the only weak link on Hollies Sing Dylan (retitled Words and Music by Bob Dylan for the American market). Even Graham Nash himself didn't like it. The rest of the LP is top-notch.
I like the Hollies but christ this is a terrible version of Blowin' In The Wind, it's more like Michael Bublé than the Hollies 😆 Their Bob Dylan covers album was a mistake in my opinion, and you can see why Graham Nash left after this.

Allan Clarke has an amazing voice.

The Morning After - Maureen McGovern ?
Young people of today dont know what real music is classic this
I’m glad we do. If you’ve had a bad day, listen to some good music. You’ll feel better.
One of my favorits band
They do. One of my daughter's favorite songs. She's 10 😊
They don't make em like this anymore. Great Music.
the BEATLES officially broke up in 1970,in that same year,the Hollies sold the most records of any band
they don't teach u that in music school
maybe they do...I never went :)
I mean after High School,I was a percussionist for 6 years
Eternally beautiful, Allan Clark’s voice ❤
Allan Clark could sing text from a law book and make it sound incredible.

Einfach klasse,solche Musik kommt nie wieder
Allan Clarke's voice is particularly breathtaking on this song!
+Holly Golightly It is fabulous...as always. I don't mind saying though, that I could even watch this all day with the sound off...if you get my drift! ;)
+Poopaloo55 Ditto.
This lovely song was composed from Dylan,but I love,how the Hollies it sang!
OMGosh it's almost too hard for me to realise I was only 11 (and didn't have as much knowledge of the English language as yet, being Dutch) when I was so into their album "Hollies Sing Dylan", including this treasure version. I still have that album on vinyl !
Those people who wrote negative comments should keep them to themselves. They are not true Hollies fans, because everything they sing is brilliant.
Best performance of the song
Best version of this song by far.
brings tears to my eyes😭😭😭😭
allan is so adorable
So is Tony Hicks....
the best cover of Dylans blowin in the wind
Peter Simson Partial to Peter Paul & Mary myself. Excellent harmonies and powerful delivery.
Absolutely, seeing as Bob Dylan could write great songs, but sang like shit
The Holllies cover all Bob Dylan songs you can fit on one album...I own it...is a classic
De departe cel mai bun cover
In your dreams...Peter Paul and Mary's version is the definitive rendition.
The Hollies, einfach fantastisch 👍👍👍👍Es war mein 1. Livekonzert. Damals, es muß 1968 gewesen sein, in der Kölner Messehalle 8
This is wonderful, music and words. Thank you
I love the Hollies version of BITW!! If you don’t like it, move along. No need to be negative. What is it Momma says, “If you can’t say anything nice, then say nothing at all!”!! Good advice!
I love Graham and the Hollies
Thank you for sharing this! First time I see it in this great quality.
awesome tune covered it very very good
Cantan super good,son pulidisimos,chéveres..saludos desde
Bogotá💛💙❤️
fantastically beautiful 💖💖
Love from Estonia.
Allan Clark e Graham Nash os vocalistas dos Hollies
Uma das melhores bandas dos anos 60
Durmo ouvindo vocês e acorda ouvindo vocês maravilha a razão do meu
And how I love Allan Clarke..
Joy. Xx

Agree ! Great version of a Dylan song. However, The Hollies did not need to do a 'covers' album. They had to much writing talent themselves !!
Immer schön
Man hat mich damals ausgelacht
Die hollies waren ihrer Zeit damals musikalisch Ihrer Zeit voraus
King Midas ist ein Beispiel
Beste uitvoering van dit lied.

This is the only song Graham Nash sang on the "Dylan Album" before he left the Hollies for CSN.
perfect band to sing Dylan IMO
Lindo lido.que.the.esy.glora.gloria.the.do.jesus
Glaube das war einer der besten Songs der The Hollies!! (unter den ersten 5,das weiß nur der Wind)
Great drumming from Bobby Elliott
einfach nur schön ~ danke ....
Superb.

The last song with Nash? The LP was recorded with Terry Sylvester who also appears on the cover
Alan clark ls g00d looking
A união faz a força todos os dias estarei com vocês para sempre
Adoroooo...Alan😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
he was also in Buffalo Springfield with Neil Young and Ritchie Furray
een top nummer
Groovy, baby!
wow
It was this that Nash left The Hollies for CSN and he was absolutely right.
Yup. Graham says that at the end of this short interview ~ www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p03q39gb
Nash should have stayed with The Hollies. CSN was crap next to the Hollies. CSN made about 5-7 good songs in 50 years. It was a drug infused dysfunctional band. Crosby can be very difficult and so can Neil Young. Hollies were much bigger in Britain than CSN.
Absurd comment@@BritainsBestGuitar
Over the top production of a simple song. Very Tom Jonesy1
I agree..
Over the top production. Doesn´t fit the song. Great mistake

Lol. Drummer is wearing the “poor man’s toupee”.
that's Stephen Stills in the Hollies
even ppl my age don't know that
The last video with Nash...
+lyapis2008 He must have been distracted; he's supposed to be miming 'Ahhh' and he's miming the lyrics instead!
+lyapis2008 I
I'm surprised! The first recording was done by Graham Nash as lead singer, the second one by Allan Clarke after Nash's leaving of the Hollies on the album Hollies sing Dylan. "Blowin' in the wind" has been the b-side of the single "Listen to me". In this video Nash is singing the second voice.
1969remember great song
yeah...that stephen stills
of CSNY
he plays multiple instruments

few know that but me
The best version of this song! Dylan's performance is too much liberal if you know what I mean. :)
Dytko88 .
u know that's stephen stills?
Damals konnten die Künstler noch singen!
Especially in Nagasaki ??????
Com a nona não nana leão
Someone get him a harmonica.
the guy with the facial hair is Stephen Stills
That’s Graham Nash. He left the Hollies to go be with Crosby, Stills & Nash shortly after this song was done.
No wonder Nash left.
it's the other guitarist
This is the cheesiest thing ever.
blow wo wo wo wo woin in the wind????
🤘🤘🤘🤘
I am a dinosaur one of the last
song is not complete
One of the reasons David Nash left the band.
His name is Graham Nash. Clearly you’re not a Hollies fan. 😂
That is Allan Clarke.
Graham Nash left to form Crosby Stills and Nash.
Blowowowowowowing in the wind... Damdamda... In the wihind... Damdamda... In the wiiihind...
It really sucks!
Wunderschön von Dylan komponiert,aber bitte nur von den Hollies gesungen,nicht vom grossen Meister
The hollies were nothing without graham Nash
Graham got out just in time... almost
Graham Nash was right to criticise this poor arrangement.
Nash looks fed up, like he doesn't want to be there. Wants to be back in America following his (then) new dream of CSN. Long live CSN - though I love the hollies as well. Just not this song.
They sound like THE Archies.
No they don’t....:(
For me, the only weak link on Hollies Sing Dylan (retitled Words and Music by Bob Dylan for the American market). Even Graham Nash himself didn't like it. The rest of the LP is top-notch.
What a crappy cover.... Should be a Vegas act...... And I love the Hollies!!!!
Graham was right. This sucked. Shame on the producer for thinking Dylan tunes could be done swing-style.
I think this is much better, I don't feel that depressive as after Dylans version
the Bee Gees covered it better in 1963
Fucking horrid...Graham Nash was right..this sucks.
This sucks as it really shows that the Hollies are becoming unartistic by recording Bob Dylan songs. No wonder why Graham Nash left
Awful
A ridiculous pop-version.
I like the Hollies but christ this is a terrible version of Blowin' In The Wind, it's more like Michael Bublé than the Hollies 😆
Their Bob Dylan covers album was a mistake in my opinion, and you can see why Graham Nash left after this.
