Long hair always gets in your mouth singing, moving and playing an instrument. Thanks Bert for preserving real music, no overdubs, no vocal correction, just pure talent
Terry Sylvester is on the mic here instead of Allan Clarke who did the original singing on the studio version. Clarke left the group in '72 to try solo like Graham Nash did some time before. The Swede Mikael Rickfors replaced him and in my opinion the Hollies made their most mature and qualitative music in this period (check out their albums 'Romany' and 'Out on the road'), but without big commercial success. When Clarke also failed to make it solo the two parties were quick to reunite and continued to perform the unexpected mega succes which was ... Long cool woman in a black dress!
I'd say Graham Nash made more $$$ in 1970-1972 than the Hollies ever made from start to finish.
This guy clearly enunciates the words. I could figure out what the song was about.
Clarke was far superior imo.
I like it better with Alan singing but it's a great tune either way. Terry Sylvester does a good job with it.
Thanks for the info. The studio version is far superior to this, and now I know why. It’s an absolutely great, timeless song.
This song sounded so cool on an A M car radio.
Yes its all we had back then😊
Yeah, I’m old. Had this .45 record, love the Hollies! ❤
Before we were old enough to afford records from babysitting, in the early 70s we walked up to a man’s house. His job was to change 45s in jukeboxes, so for 25 cents we could buy the old ones. lol, the only one I think I still have is Rosalie.I remember buying New World Man by Rush from a record store.
Lmao age is nothin but a number. Your mind and spirit is what matters. 45’s and 8 tracks was part of growing up in our generation.
@@Caperhere Oh, wow! That’s so cool about the juke box records, great memory!
@@curtisphilumalee1447 It sure was!
Wish I’d kept all the .45’s I had, even my dads, he had “The Battle of New Orleans” by Johnny Horton and many others. Can’t remember what we did with them all but still have my albums. My teen granddaughter-musician, wants them but I can’t part with them yet, they’re like gold to me still.
A pair of .45's made me open my eyes!
I saw Terry crank this out on an Ovation solo in a small theatre in Ontario. No need for a band. He killed it
This song, Green River and All Right Now were songs the grabbed my very young ear, (around 7 or 8 years old), and got me interested in the guitar. Ah, what a great time to be a kid!
Fogerty claimed this was the best Creedence song he never wrote
@@jeffkahlI imagine Bob Dylan felt something similar about Sultans of Swing
Terry Sylvester on vocal...Rare and welcome
As a 70s kid, this was my introduction to real music ❤still love it all these years later
An incredible performance and song. I loved this song from the moment I first heard it. Platform heals were en-vogue throughout the 70's and I might have been guilty of owning a pair or two. Thanks a lot for the video.
There's no need to remaster this original performance. It's awesome just the way it is!
Great song but it's not nearly as good without Allan Clarke's vocals.
Agreed. Vocals are lacking in this performance.
That entire song I was thinking "I swear Alan sung this song. Didn't know I was wrong all these years". Glad to find out I wasn't..wrong
Totally agree. I felt something was amiss immediately when the song started.
Terry Sylvester does a surprisingly good job covering Allan Clarke's vocal.
Well, YMMV. I don’t think so.
I thoroughly enjoyed Terry’s voice and especially, his gorgeous shiny dark-shag haircut & a hint of sideburns!
His shiny purple/yellow shirt is cool looking with his skin tone.
"Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" Fixed it for you.
thanks
Long COOL Woman in a Black Dress!🤪💜
They fixed it :)
Awesome foot stomping music.
Another instantly recognizable opening riff.
I remember this from the AM radio days! 😎
My god, a cowbell would be perfect...🤩
Should be "Long Cool....." not long haired right?
Right-o.
Huh?!🤷♀️
They fixed it :)
Joya 💎!!!!
Real talent can play live.
Not quite the same with a different singer, but still a great song.
Cool
Muito legal ouvir Hollies
Phish covers this as their second song played ever, they were then pretty much removed from the ‘stage’
Long cool Woman in a Green river.
@TheMidnightSpecial You got the song title wrong. It's Long COOL Woman. Autocorrect?
They fixed it :)
Great song by a great group. I think someone said these weren't all the original members (?) but I still liked this performance. I love the guitar sound on this.💜
You can hear that Telecaster chugging all away through that tune.
He's not Allen Clarke but he did fine on the vocals.
This is Mikael Rockfors on lead vocals. Original lead vocalist Allan Clarke left the band in late 1971 and rejoined the band a couple of months after this performance. As for the other original members, Graham Nash left in 1970 and Eric Haydock left in 1966. The only original member here is lead guitarist Tony Hicks (he joined a month after they formed, close enough), and he's been the only consistent member of the band since 1963.
@@gregoryduncan3067 That's what I remember from the full show, now that you mention it. He wasn't the original vocalist (Allen). I thought he did pretty good, too.
@@Kylora2112Terry Sylvester on lead vocal here.
That was pretty good.
Kudos to Terry Sylvester xx
The Hollies - Long Cool Woman In a Black Dress live with Alan Clarke on vocals, If you haven't seen this live version with the original singer then it is a must !!! ua-cam.com/video/we2GOFBrBX0/v-deo.htmlsi=xlA8TIyHDo6ddhFD 🎶🎵🎶🎵❤️
It ain’t the hollies without Alan Clarke on lead vocals
i saw it marked once as tall cool woman
...¿ Y, quién no se vuelve rocanrolero después de esto?...
Gosh they were tight!
Not as much as my girlfriend
Wrong lead singer.Allan had left the group. Terry was a fabulous harmony singer and one year later Allan Clarke rejoined the group and gave us ' The Air that I breathe '. As beautiful as it gets.
I would say that this style of simplified Blues-based music has never been my cup of tea. I do like this song, however. But there’s a really young gal from Ireland - her name is something like Muierren - who is a terrific early-Blues guitarist and singer. But there was a shift in the late-70s and early-80s where a lot of rock went from being “bluesy” to more classically-influenced music that I really liked. It was mostly due to metal bands though like Ozzy with Randy Rhoads and maybe Iron Maiden. But in the 70s I really liked the singer-songwriter stuff and still do. As a matter of fact bands such as Bread are still some of my favorite. (For many years I lived fairly close to David Gates and even drove near his home but never knew it until much later. And a guitarist for Heart lived in the same housing development but I never realized that until later too.)
Gotta love how a post-Beatles English band went full Southern Rock.
Stones did it..
Where's Alan Clarke?
Back when musical talent was more important than fashion, dancing, and good teeth...
Groovy baby
"Just a 5'9" beautiful tall"
🤭 “I’m a 5’8”, beautiful tail” 🤣 😂
I loved this song and bought the 45-single, but I always thought that composer Allan Clarke basically did a rewrite of Creedence Clearwater Revival's earlier hit, "Green River."
Apparently John Fogerty thought so too and got an out of court settlement.
@@vvayoutvvest Thanks for that.
MEGAN. Forman. 25 1.
Terry held his own in this performance without Allan; but he really belonged as a support back-up to Clarke 😉
私はテリー好きだよ❤アランがいないから頑張って歌ったんです。この曲は歌唱力がありすぎるより多少荒削りなほうがいい⤴️カッコいいよ😄
Where is Alan Clarke?
He had decided to go solo for a small while after this song was shortly recorded in 1973, but don't worry though! He returned around 1974 to continue with The Hollies until 1999
dang, that singer is sexy!!!
Needed more reverb!
Long Haired Woman makes more sense but it's Long Cool Woman.
Fixed. thanks
@@themidnightspecialtvshowAnytime.
@@themidnightspecialtvshowIn the Midnight Special Uploaded 2 songs, it still says Long Haired, rather than Long Cool. In a lot of songs, a little mistake like that wouldn’t matter at all, but for some reason, “Cool” seems important in defining the vibe of this still cool song. Maybe it’s just me.
Long and cool makes total sense,you had to be there
Ok, it was before my time. Conventionally speaking, Long Haired makes more sense.
Good, but it ain't Allan Clarke.
Something's missing, oh its Clark.
Something is missing here, Mr. Clarke
Not really the Hollies.
Drummer being the only consistent member
Probably the least sounding Hollie’s song ever penned
Way stretch from
Carrie-Ann
I think Lennon despised them
Then again Lennon was a SNOB
And Tony Hicks
Is this a cover band? 😂 I’ll take the radio version, thx
I don’t know if you’re being facetious, but I’ll answer as a true question:
No. It is the original band. The Midnight Special allowed the artists to play live. A live recording is going to sound different from the record (the “radio version”).
not the original singer (allen clarke) on this one
Then don't go to any concert ever !! Stay on the porch, listen to the radio version, and let the big dogs run!!
It's not a cover band but Allen Clarke wasn't there which was the one drawback.
@@timstamps5281live recording or not, it doesn't sound good..
they don't sound good. ..a high quality recording won't make this performance any better..
They should have been called The Holly… Tony Hicks was the only original there.
And Bobby Elliot the drummer.
Despite that, Terry Sylvester (Lead Vocal in this performance), and Bernie Calvert (bass player since '66), had played on as many hits as they had before those two arrived, especially Bernie
This is basically a tribute band to the Hollies. They’re very good, but nowhere near as good as the originals. Graham Nash and Allan Clarke had both left the band. Tony Hicks, the fabulous guitar player, was the only original here. But not to worry… Allan Clarke would return to the band a year later and start generating more hits! Most people don’t realize that The Hollies had more hits and instantly recognizable songs than pretty much any band in the 60’s and 70’s. 😊
Hardly. They recorded new songs while Clark thought he could make it on his own.
Tony Hicks is an excellent guitarist, and all but the guitarist to the far right were there when they had made some solid hits alongside Clark.
You must be one of them that had left the band by this time...
Joke
This is not the original vocalist.
True, he left in 1972 to pursue a solo career, but came back around 73 or 74
Not the original singer...! 😮
The Hollies without Allan Clarke wasn't good
Fuck the Trump ads FFS
first
My mom hated this kind of music. She was an idiot. OK I lied. My mom actually liked The Hollies.
You can't replace Alan Clarke. This guy sucked on this song.
Sounds terrible without Allan Clarke singing.
Faux Hollies... original singer Alan Clark NOT singing with this group... epic fail.
Not the Hollies.
Still is, only that the members have rotated throughout the years
@@calbassist2494 not the Hollies.
@@PeterSokol-bl5vz still is
@@calbassist2494 you must be 2 years old.
@@PeterSokol-bl5vz it is still within The Hollies timeline, although no original members are in the video, Allan Clarke would return the next year, and additionally, Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliott (although joined after '63) who play on all the hits is seen still playing lead guitar and drums respectively in the video.
This video also predates their next big hit which would be Air That I Breathe in '75
