      Allen Clarke was working on solo project at this time at the time. He didn’t sing on the album that produced Long Cool Woman and Long Dark road. He rejoined the band later in 1973. I remember seeing this performance in 1973 on ABC’s “In Concert” and was blown away (still am) at their harmonies. To me Tony Hicks (guitarist, banjo, lead and backup vocals) is just as important to the Hollies unique sound.

Terry and Tony sang "Long Cool Woman" and the other tracks Alan sang lead on, leaving Michael Rikfors to sing the tracks from the two albums they recorded with him. It didn't last long, as Alan Clarke returned to the group when his solo career didn't pan out.

      I agree ! However, I have seen the recent Hollies line up about 4 years ago. They did a good job as with Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliot as they only original members. I enjoyed the show with the understanding this was about as good as it was going to get under the current circumstances.

      JosieAnn, I’ve been a Hollies fan for 3 years, and I prefer their music during their Clarke, Hicks, and Nash years. Clarke, Hicks, and Sylvester, not so much, except for maybe 5 songs those being, “He Ain’t Heavy”, “Gasoline Alley Bred”, “Long Cool Woman”, “The Air That I Breathe”, and “Amnesty”

    7:02 anyone else notice Mikael’s guitar strap comes off at the start of Bus Stop? I don’t think he ever gets it back on. He did a great job singing, though. It’s also great hearing Tony sing this much. Without Allan, it misses a lot of the energy (energy that Bobby’s drumming in particular calls for) but they’re all good singers. Listen to the original tracks from Romany and Out On The Road. Downriver in particular is proof that Mikael is a fantastic singer in his own right.

    13:25 es la prueba de que es una canción hecha por los "Hollies restantes" en la grabación de estudio: Bobby Elliott, Tony Hicks y Bernie Calvert. Allan Clarke que hace de guitarra solista aquí no aparece pero el sonido de ésta versión en directo si deja ver el cambio de papeles que hizo con Tony Hicks (que era el guitarra solista habitual) no hay nada que sustituir aquí salvo la suave voz de Terry Sylvester. A mi parecer para Long Cool Woman le faltó algo de potencia, pero no está tan mal y creo que es una gran versión, no creo que la audiencia estuviera equivocada ...

  • @benjohnson4810

    I hate to bring attention to this, but @ 3:18, Tony and Terry stepped away from the mic and their voices were still singing the harmonies. Everything seems to be live about this, but what the hell was that? I don't think Bobby and Bernie were singing at all.

      @@NeillSackett That's probably what it is. I know on one video from the eighties of "Carrie Anne", the vocals are live because Tony's voice cracks when he sings his verse. Tony then proceeds to mess with the keyboardists' keys during the solo and the guy grabs Tony's hand, but nothing changed about the sound.
